Left 4 Dead - Page 22

Yeah

Currently, they're exactly the same bar the control method and the fact the PC has 3rd party servers as well as Valve supplied ones, so they can be tweaked and set up differently.

In the future, both I suspect will get the same official DLC but the PC is already getting 3rd party mod content in drips (for example, new skins - http://img118.imageshack.us/img118/4...rtment0ts4.jpg), with some bigger good stuff almost ready to go (like the Dawn of the Dead campaign).

Yeah sorry, Xbox version.

I found it pretty tough on just Normal difficulty. Extreme must be impossible. And how on earth are you meant to get the achievement where no-one takes damage after calling for rescue? There has to be some sort of trick to getting that one.

I'm guessing it's a bit easier in co-op. None of the computer players ever picks up pipe bombs, which are the most useful item in the game. A couple of people with those could probably clear the horde if they timed it right.

I've completed everything on Advanced so far (albeit without all the achievements cos ive been kicked off servers long enough for it to reset and treat me as a new player half way through), soon to be trying Expert.

We'll do Extreme when I get it for Crimbo. I love games that are ridiculously difficult.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO PROVE?
Survive all campaigns on Expert. 0.7%

Currently, only 0.7% of all players have managed to complete the game on expert!

I've worked out how to get that 'no damage after calling the rescue vehicle' achievement, but I reckon it's only possible on the first level. And not with bots.

I enjoy challenges and that seems like a challenge. I'm glad the completion for that is so low. It's not impossible though and I'm sure I could do it on PC.

The curse of randomness; almost made it through an entire campaign without disturbing a witch. On the fifth and final part she was sitting on the path just before the boathouse. I made it around her but knew the AI wouldn't be able to fathom the way I did it.

Annoying when there's a few achievements in the back of your mind that you could get, and one by one you realise you're not going to get them. Still not made it through a campaign without spooking a witch, accidentally shooting a fellow survivor, or getting vomited on. I did get the Akimbo one though which wasn't too difficult. Got so close to getting the one for making it through the campaign without healing. Had 57 health at the boat house, dropped below 50 and some numpty healed me. I can't find a way to stop them doing it. Even if you run away or shoot them they still grab you and heal you. Damn them!

Tried hitting them with your gun?
