Warpig November 16, 2009 Share Warpig Member November 16, 2009 I will be playing it...the demo is pretty sweet, just ready for some new maps and vs mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclean November 16, 2009 Share Unclean Member November 16, 2009 I'm getting back into the original L4D - there are quite a few custom maps that are done pretty well. Some noteable ones include the mall from Dawn of the Dead, the prison escape, and a few others. Check 'em out here: http://www.l4dmods.com/ ^ as a heads up, the skins/models link is NSFW there. They have a nude Chloe skin for pervs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonFire November 17, 2009 Share DragonFire Member November 17, 2009 Awww, 4 of us have been playing since 9:30 this morning, and we haven't really stopped yet. The game is pretty amazing, I'll play with you another day Exile, we can easily grab 4 people, I bought a 4 pack and know people who bought it off me. Also it is kind of early in the day yet, people are still at work and what not, I'm sure tonight you will be able to get some GCer's in a game with you.

ZeroDamage November 18, 2009 Share ZeroDamage Member November 18, 2009 Played for about an hour. Versus play is where it is at just like it was with L4D. The new special infected make the game a bit more interesting instead of your regular smoker or hunter + boomer combo. The charger and spitter are my fav new classes so far.

NOFX November 18, 2009 Share NOFX Member November 18, 2009 so should I buy it or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieChan November 18, 2009 Share JackieChan GC Alumni November 18, 2009 Seems like the Boomer is still the ultimate distraction SI. Can't plan good attacks without one to deal the chip damage and it seems like the other SI depend on the Boomer more than ever. Boomer vomits on survivors. Smoker pulls one. Charger runs in. Hunter or Jockey pounces with a Spitter spitting at the Hunter/Charger. Given a team has that kind of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroDamage November 18, 2009 Share ZeroDamage Member November 18, 2009 I've found the spitter to be a better distraction. Everyone sees that green crap on the ground and they do everything they can to get out of it or away from it. This is usually a good time to boom them or charge into them with the charger. The charger is limited to narrow hallways, etc and usually only after the survivors have been distracted. I've found the Jocky worth hanging onto in case a survivor falls behind. You basically control where the survivor goes and you can run his donkey all the way back as far as you can which is often times the ultimate distraction. The hunter has become the weakling of the group or at least that is what I am seeing so far. With all the special infected you can be now, you no longer get the 3 hunter + 1 smoker end-round combo that you used to get. Although you can still get them with the hunter + smoker + jockey + charger but it is a little harder. There seems to be so many different types of weapons now too nevermind the melee weapons such as baseball bats, swords, axes, etc that take the place of the pistol. There is also a deagle for counter-strike fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroDamage November 18, 2009 Share ZeroDamage Member November 18, 2009 This is a decent little write up from one of the l4dnao guys on the new content, etc. http://www.l4dnao.com/news/left-4-dead-2-first-impressions/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFirstMonk November 19, 2009 Share TheFirstMonk Member November 19, 2009 (edited) so should I buy it or what? If you do decide to buy it, you can currently get a single PC copy for $39.99 at newegg. They already dropped the price $10.00 one day after release: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832130243&cm_re=left_4_dead_2-_-32-130-243-_-Product I don't know of any other retailer that's done this yet (so far). The 4 pack on Steam might be a little cheaper, but A) you have to find 3 others to split the cost, and it's only a savings of $2.50 from newegg's price. $150.00/4 = $37.50 each. GoGamer.com has it for $39.90, but they tack on a $2.99 shipping charge. EDIT: I didn't mean to put up that smiley icon. It was supposed to be B with a parentheses. 2ND EDIT: Amazon.com has a low price of $39.99 now too: http://www.amazon.com/Left-4-Dead-2-Pc/dp/B002BRYXRQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1258621959&sr=8-2 Edited November 19, 2009 by TheFirstMonk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclean November 20, 2009 Share Unclean Member November 20, 2009 I'm interested - anyone have an extra key? Dragon said hers is gone now. A download would be way more convenient for me, otherwise I'd go with Monk's suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFirstMonk November 22, 2009 Share TheFirstMonk Member November 22, 2009 This might only be a rumor, but I hear that Gamestop is selling Left 4 Dead 2 PC version for $29.99 on Black Friday: http://news.bigdownload.com/2009/11/19/gamestop-black-friday-sales-include-left-4-dead-2-at-29-99/ If that really is the price, it's a good price, but I may or may not get it because 1. I hear that Gamestop is not so great (maybe that's just for preorders), 2. I don't like getting up early for Black Friday, 3. I don't like the crowds on Black Friday, 4. I don't like Black Friday at all (the concept of it), and 5. I'm on the lookout to see if any other retailer offers something similar in price before that day, unlikely as it is. I'm posting this in case anyone else feels like getting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZesteR November 24, 2009 Share ZesteR Member November 24, 2009 Dell has Left 4 Dead 2 for $30 if anyone is still interested in getting it! Dell Home - L4D2 $30 I got it and have been playing. I have to say, it's much better than l4d, and impossible to play on the harder difficulties when you have bots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFirstMonk November 25, 2009 Share TheFirstMonk Member November 25, 2009 Dell has Left 4 Dead 2 for $30 if anyone is still interested in getting it! Dell Home - L4D2 $30 I got it and have been playing. I have to say, it's much better than l4d, and impossible to play on the harder difficulties when you have bots. I heard about this deal yesterday, but when I put my order in my cart, it said the estimated delivery date would be 12/14/09. This is weird because some people at the Slickdeals.net comment board say they get similar dates like 12/1/09-12/14/09. Dell might be overestimating though because some people have already reported that they received their order the day after. I dunno what is going on with the dates, but if you do order from them, be sure to upgrade your shipping to 3-5 days; it's free, just like 5-7 day shipping. I'm probably just going to go to Gamestop early on Friday and pick up a copy. See you guys then. And as for playing with bots on higher difficulties: I hear the bots have increased in stupidity, so maybe that's the reason why it's even harder.
