Left 4 Dead

[CH@NO]

Hope I figure out how to survive under expert mode.....still trying to find quickly when a smoker/hunter/boomer appears....they are so annoying, more the boomer.

I too play only in Expert mode in Single Player. The AI is great but what gets me is why one of them sometimes leaves a health pack behind? I have no clue in why they do this. Maybe Valve needs a patch to fix this. I end up going all the way back just to get the health pack because its really needed.

 

[Super XP]

Oh, just to let you all know Left 4 Dead "WON" for best "ON-LINE" game of all time according to CPU Magazine.

You can get them to pick up items by pressing "Z" on them then "Z" on the item repeatedly.. worked for me.

Well, sometimes I see a survivor dies without defending themself after an orde attack, when the late 2-3 infected appears they started to attack him from behind and Francis simply does anything, so the rest of the survivors to protect him 'till It falls out and then dies....a bug or something.

I've also saw that even if they're on red health they use their health pack to cure it you, even if you're on yellow....weird, but since the game only continues if you're not dead, then I agree with that charity

Also I use the Xbox360 version though......hope tomorrow play using the PC.

I must agree with that, L4D is the FIRST game I wanna play it online, I love the way they put all enemies at random, so each play can be always challenging.

Same here this is my first ever game to play online, this is my first time playing online and Left 4 Dead has given me a very very very very very very very awesome impression. I am stil "hardcore" single player, but Left 4 Dead is a great example in mixing both worlds of multi-player and single player. Good Job Valve, I'm sold.

My point exactly. In my opinion they are by far the best Game Developers out there.

 

[J-Man]

I know what they've done wrong... Counter Strike: Source.

 

[CH@NO]

Yep, and also code the game that It looks very nice even in low-end rigs.....completely opposed to Crysys....man I LOVE L4D!!!!!

I hope it works for you.. those bots are really annoying when you need them to do something. Yeah I'm in Montreal but I'm not from here i just live here now.. temporarily I hope.

They didn't make counter strike or day of defeat, they bought popular mods and hired the makers

You can count on it. I remember reading somewhere they plan on releasing a timed campaign (at least likely its to be timed) where you must evacuate the city or die from the blast of a Nuclear bomb.

 

[Drizzt5]

L4D was a blast for about 2 weeks and then the game lost it's re-playability. If they do make that campaign I hope they make it soon before I forget I even have the game.

O.K. I tried it and it did not work. I keep trying to tell them about the health pack my pressing Z and I can hear myself telling them, I even call them by there name and they look at me like I am nuts lol, oh well its just one more thing Valve needs to fix. Also why is it when the TANK comes out on Expert Single Player all 3 of my companions rush it then fall flat on there face? I end up being the only one standing? IT doesn't happen all the time but when it does, I'm like wtf?

They have more than 35 new campaigns (5 levels per campaign = 175+ levels ) coming out. Not sure how fast they are going to release them I assume they will be spread out for about 2 to 3 years time.

 

[DaedalusHelios]

They should release them ASAP because as it stands the game is extremely short.

Great quality game but I think some demos to games last longer.

I thanked you just because I hope you're right. This should be awesome.

An about the bots... it worked for me but we were in the safe room when I got Zoey to pick up a medpack. I believe I for Louis to pick up a pipe bomb once as well.

 

[Super XP]

It would so great if Valve can release a patch to make sure in single player the other 3 can pick up pipe bombs and fix the not picking up the health bug. That would be amazing. And they can use that pipe bomb if and when they feel its necesary.

I downloaded City Minami but there are instructions in how to make it work. It's somewhere in that link I provided.

 

[Super XP]

Instructions to make the new maps work: Just until Valve gets them an official release I assume.

You have to download it and put it in the map folder thing.

Then go in-game, start a single player scenario, doesn't matter which, and go into the console (Press ~), and type in:
changelevel city_minami_department_a1

And you should be able to play through both levels without really doing anything…
