But I've got to wait till the weekend otherwise I'll never get anything done!

Anyone else got it? Is it REALLY living up to all expectations? :shock:

fukfukfukfukfukfukfukfukfukfukfukfukfukfukfukfukfukfukfukfukfukfukfukfukfukfukfukfukfukfukfuk

i'm getting it soon, we can play togevva, stevo!!!!!!!!!! (i'll get it on PC, too)

(and yes, it's amazing)

 

[$t3v0]

Haha

I installed it today (i cheated) and completed all the levels with a big smile on my face. It really is something else, and it's only going to get better! I had a little splash with the online play and it was really good. You can either have you and 3 others against cpu players or like - a server with human players as the characters but you can be the zombies and you still get the hoardes. It's just :O

it's ... epic!

When you get it send me a pm venetia. Add me to steam

If i get it, it'll have to be on 360 . im disadvantaged now!!

 

[FlippyD]

I have it on 360, tried the farm levels on advanced and ALMOST made it.

Anyone else up for 360 co-op?

 

[$t3v0]

see they didn't make it cross compatible because they thought people using a mouse and keyboard would have an advantage over people using a 360 pad.

BIG MISTAKE!

How is it honestly? I'm thinking about getting it, but I'm hoping for it to have a "hold this position for X amount of time" campaign or mod.

Is it really that fun online? :X

 

[FlippyD]

It's really fun in a group, and no matter how many times I replay the levels they haven't gotten stale yet (like TF2, which I still play every now and then.) It's really meant to play in a group, and moreso a group of people you know. If you have the chance to play it on PC though, I'd go that route.

There's no fort holding campaigns, but there are times on every map where you have to hold a position from rampaging zombies, and one section at the end of each "movie" where you have to defend a point for 10 minutes while all sorts of shit is going bad.

 

[$t3v0]

It really is something else! It's not REVOLUTIONARY gaming, but it's certainly better than most games of this genre!

The levels change all the time. You can't be confident in going anywhere because the position and quantity of zombies is randomised everytime you do a level. There are basically, 6 zombie types -

The basic running fuckers that you kill easily but they come in the hundreds
Boomers - fat horrible things that if they're sick on you it attracts the horde to come kill you
Hunters - they leap on you and start scratching your guts out. Without help from a team mate you will die
Smokers - They grab you from safe positions and drag you to their path using their tongue. Along the way normal zombies will be kicking and scratching at you and when you reach him he does the same. Again, you can't move until a team mate helps you.
Tanks - BIG fuckers that take the entire team pumping clip after clip to make him fall. He can knock you down in 2-3 hits and he doesn't stop until his body is made of lead.
Witches - Certainly the scariest things on the game. You know when a witch is around because you can hear them weep whilst sitting down. You're supposed to avoid disturbing them as their attacks are deadly, but no-one ever does.

It's the fucking good shit. Does anyone know if it's going to be open source for level editing in the future? That would be kick ass to be able to design your home town and have a zombie invasion o.o

I think I saw a thread somewhere in Steampowered forums saying that Valve will release an SDK for the game(like what they did in ever other Source games they made). Also, a custom campaign is in the making now, based around the Crossroads Mall of the film Dawn of the Dead(haven't seen the film though).

Considering their past, I assume Valve will most definitely let you mod the hell out of it and do whatever you want with it, after a set amount of time.

 

[rexxzecutioner]

this is how americans make gams

u foreign faggots suck at gams

 

[$t3v0]

kinda sucks how you won't be able to mod. But I suppose the maps that are released will be bug free and eye pleasing because they're more official. You do get some pretty horrible maps on the likes of CS Source and HL2 Deathmatch.

I haven't played it for a day and I think the gimic is wearing off. It's still the best zombie game I've played but it doesn't make me cream my pants.

 

[Venetia]

I just need Valve to hurry up and release HL:Ep3 Before I pee my pants

 

[$t3v0]

Still not played ep.2 - Looked really good in the trailer after completing ep.1 but i never got round to getting it

 

[Venetia]

oh god ep 2 blew ep 1 out of the water. it was soooooo good. i almost liked it more than the basegame. and it was nearly as long!

it's very different from the trailer btw. they made that while in super pre-alpha stage of making ep2. the locations and shit have all changed, and there's no part where alyx falls down a cliff. that's not really a spoiler since that's part of a trailer that portrays something that doesn't exist! (trust me, i was waiting for that scene and it just doesn't come up)

 

[FlippyD]

I'm looking forward to Ep.3 only to see how

Spoiler

they tie Apeture Science in with that arctic freighter.

 

[Berserker]

nachito, the online play is worth the money
