so far my experience of co-op play has involved chasing clock and his minigun around sven... sufficed to say neither i nor anyone else see many kills, and the experience is hardly a departure from competitative single play.
you may have noticed the channel on teamspeak, where i would sit and dribble over the prospect of defending a heli pad from torrents of zombies and laugh at the left 4 dead threads on the steam forums. (lol, lol and lol)
left 4 dead is the type of game completely eclipsed by the polish and superficial depth of most upcoming titles. essentially it's a return to meat and potato gaming:
4 survivors, a city of zombies. get down, get to the chopper.
deceptively simple, devilishly difficult.
plus the measures taken to marginalise the possible effects of bored, sadistic ten year olds pipe bombing the group is exceptional.
for an exhaustive analysis of the types of boss infected, weapons available, locations and game design this site is second to none.
the best footage of the game in action can be found here and here.
i had rather hoped this was going to be the game to keep me out of the sun this summer but sadly it's been postponed until "christmas-ish".
in the mean time, a handful of us have started playing zombie master to pass the time. it's still only in beta form but has a lot of potential and is probably the best co-op mod around.
i just hope it's not a matter of blind faith that my dusty old x600 and p4 can handle so many zombies.
from what i hear (though speculation is never anything to go by):MIN - 2.4 GHz Processor, 1GB RAM, DirectX 8 level graphics card, Windows, Vista/2000/XP, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection
PREF - Multi Core Processor, 2GB RAM, DirectX 9 level graphics card, Windows 2000/XP, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection this should spell the end of this tribes and insurgency nonsense. l4d is going to be the absolutely daddy.
however i think i had better leave the final thought with 'mookieflukie' of the steam forums:
"zombies are cool because they eat people: fact."
word.

Lets hope it is not delayed further that xmas....... just been pushed back to an undisclosed date next year. 
i suppose it's for the best that they don't compromise the calibre of the game for an earlier release date.
in the mean time, enjoy some new footage.

| Giving up everything except Left 4 Dead
Seriously, just don't get the time. Won't be spending any more £££ on top end hardware once my current gear is out of date. I did like the look of this game though | |
