Left4Dead

Has anyone played the new maps and survival mode yet?

[Archem]

Not yet, but that's because I want to play with my brother, and he's too much of a dick to stop playing with his friends (who seem to have instanced out of his fantasies) so that I can finally try the mode out.

I could do it with strangers, but that could lead to some nasty STDs.

I obtained it legally some time ago but my computer can't handle it. :/

[Archem]

Really? My computer runs it better than almost every other game I own. The only games that beat it on my computer were all made before 2000.

I get between 120 and 180 FPS average with full settings (not including the options for multicore processors and dual video cards, but that's only because I lack those). It's gotten to 666 FPS before (sadly, I was too slow for a screen cap).

[Cerebus]

Well, my computer isn't up to date. In other words, it sucks.
However, I'm not sure if it's actually that my computer can't take it, or if I just obtained a bad legal copy.

I didn't bother getting another one, so I'll probably never know.

It's the most over-rated Valve game ever. Really not worth the £30 UNLESS they keep releasing updates for it.

I think Team Fortress 2 shits all over it.

Just got back from it. Survival is fun. Certainly a refreshing change of pace from the old campaigns and boring versus (I haven't had fun in versus for a long time). Some ridiculous set ups though. The last stand is hard to survive for 3 minutes, let alone 10.

[Red Giant]

I don't play anything but versus anymore, and the new maps are a nice change.

Well, While I agree that TF2 is a better game, I don't agree with your thoughts on it not being a game worth the cost.

But they better hurry the hell up and release a proper SDK. Custom maps are what drive the FPS community, and Valve knows this better than anyone out theere.

I love l4d havent got to play the new maps or survival yet and sadly i play not on pc but xbox 360 best fps for the 360 personal opinion

[Archem]

best fps for the 360 personal opinion

What the hell does that even mean?


...Oh. Duh. "First-person shooter". I guess I'm still thinking about FPS as "frames per second". It's alright on the 360, but not the "best". The controls feel looser than I'd like. Personally, I find Halo 3 to be the best since everyone seems to have it, the controls are very tight, and the customizability is insane for a console title.

I abuse the hell out of custom games.



EDIT: Played my first (and only) round of it just a minute ago. Pretty fun. Got a gold medal.

Whole heartedly agree. Well, except for the paying part.

Left 4 Dead isn't a bad game in itself, it just brings nothing new to the genre.

I expected some really cool features.... M16, shotgun, rifle? PLEASE!

I want a FPS like Ratchet and Clank, because just shooting stuff with
bog-standard weapons gets boring for me. That's why I play TF2 over
any other ultra-realistic game - because it's fun, quirky and original.

AI Director, boy.

That's just like eating a sandwich but putting the 2 slices of bread on top and the ham underneath the bread.
