ZOMG there are too many cool games coming out.

Bit cack that they release the 2nd game around 8 months after the 1st! Still getting into the MP on L4D 1, great if you have a good team of people playing with you (rubbish if you dont).

Nail on the head there matey. Rubbish when you have a cack team as you only get around the corner and if they have 3 hunters and boomer....game over. However, if you have an awesome team (or dare I say it....clan) it's the best game on the 360 in my opinion.

This is a game i regret not getting into more.


I played the demo and it seemed like crap.

Looks like they had taken a normal shooter and jus speeded up the AI.

I could stand next to some of the first zombies and they didnt do anything.

Think it must of loaded badly or something i dont know but everyone loves it.

I should of given it a second go i think!

I have to say this is probably one of the best multiplayer games I have actually played (when you have a good team / or playing with mates)

You really need to play this as Multiplayer with mates, and then the game really comes into its own. The game is stupidly clever, and some people miss exactly how good it is. If you go to fast you will get into trouble, if you go too slowly then you will get into trouble, if you split up or go solo then you will get into trouble. You NEED to work with your team otherwise you will never get anywhere in the game. Single player is not really the game it’s the online that makes the game come alive.

Especially if your playing Versus where its 4 on 4. 4 zombies / 4 survivors and you take it in turns each map to complete the goal. If your in a team that communicate then you can formulate a strategy to take down the other team or reach your goal and it leads to real seat of the pants moments.

You might have found that the first few zombies are quite non reactive but get barfed on by a boomer / set off a car alarm and then brick it when you get rushed by a horde. This is the thing – the AI in the single player isn’t brilliant but the game throws up some nice challenges, its online that things get really tricky where your playing against people who know what they are doing, that’s when it really becomes a case of survival and it’s a real fight to get to the end without pegging it.

Most rounded multiplayer game I have ever played. Just wish I had more mates that played it! Anyone on here want to hook up for a game?

They ahve release crash course for L4D but the cheeky xxxx are charging for it, despite implying it would be free - seriously why pay for downloadable content on a game thats going to be superceeded very soon and subsequently not played online as the gamer base will shift to the new game?!

I was reading on the "Trials" websites Forum and the guys that made TrialsHD said they would have released it for free but its all down to microsoft what they want to charge. They said Microsoft take most of the profits from the downloadable content.

Also same with the COD maps, XBox live you have to pay for them but on the PC they are free all because microsoft are so greedy and know people will pay it!!!!
