I'm around

Not played versus yet, I'm down for that

I imagine it's also shorter than running through a campaign, or at least a bit more bitesized.

If it's anything like the PC version, it's more diluted. Fewer hordes, and fewer zombies overall. The focus is on scoring points off your opponents, e.g. getting boomer bile on them, rather than simply getting to the safe house. It's still the main objective, as you get multipliers if you finish, but it's definately quicker and easier

Versus mode (on the PC at least) is fixed at 'Normal' difficulty as far as the number of zombies etc. goes. You used to be able to change it but unless you had good teams, it was a piss take on Advanced.

Only problem that leaves is that rushing is about the best tactic. If you absolutely leg it through the levels you do far better than going slowly and trying to fight.

I find it takes about the same amount of time as a campaign usually, as although each run through takes less time than a campaign would, you're effectively doing the whole thing twice.

It's actually twice as long

. You do the whole campaign as Infected AND Survivors.

Totally forgotten about this thread although I've been playing a lot of L4D with other friends.

How many playing it here are on PC?

Wonder if it's worth creating a Steam group for ppl on here?

divine · 17-01-2009, 01:01

Probably easier just to add to friends list tbh, the groups seem a bit pointless really.

Fair enough. I'm currently "V1" on Steam:

Any Xbox players fancy having a go at Expert later?
