yea everyone says COD5 is a big disappointment. i think the COD franchise should be finished and the company should start fresh with some new ideas! left 4 dead is getting a lot of praise for being a lot of fun!

agreed. L4D is original and fun, and even looks good though based on an old graphics engine.

making 3 repetitive WWII games is just retarded, cod4 is good because it's modern and was something new.

Where's the poll option for "I'm already killing them in Zombie Panic, which is what this game was based on?" :laugh:

I still think it's cool that Valve continues to prove that there is money to be made in letting your customers mod your source engine (like how games like Team Fortress and Counterstrike got their starts) -- I hope the creators of Zombie Panic are getting compensated in some way, though.

Left 4 Dead is cool, but I agree with what one poster said earlier -- the game play is very arcade-like. The sudden rushes, the linear course you take -- I almost expect my character to be moving by itself like that old arcade shooter Area-51.

The game play is "arcade-ish" but I like it.

At least they didnt call it "Zombie Panic: Word At War"

Cod5 is not apart of the Call of Duty series. Its made by Treyarch which are notorious for making abysmal games. Infinity Ward made the good ones(PC ver. of 1 and 2 and 4).

Yeah the friend that said the DEMO was single player only was wrong. :wtf:

He told me that he can get online now... my bad.

Anyone can play online for free for the time being. Please download this game and try it. You wont be disappointed.

Just FYI

hey you guys know (maybe you did) at the end of the demo when you go into the safe room? well if your team doesn't go in and stay in and just keeps running around or walking around or w/e in that big room with the generators, the zombies just keep coming and coming. in waves and hordes. through the windows through doors and everywhere

just gotta move around a bit and fire a weapon now and again and they come out and attack. i played for about a half hour straight in that room last night :)

it was a common prob with HL2

if you never heard of it before then just think yourself lucky uve never had it ,going from being perfectly ok to virtually throwing up and feeling really ill in 15 mins is not fun.

i saw forums full of ppl who had similar problems with Half Life 2 when it was released ,i sold my copy within a couple of weeks cos i just couldn't play it.
