Me and Tomeis were just feet from finishing it on expert

But then.....

Expert is insane, I only beat it once, and that was when I joined in the safe room with the entire team at full health.

What makes it hard is if you have to use all the medkits in the saferoom to heal yourself at the beginning.

I like it but the story is going to have to do something clever and some more objective based maps rather than a-b.

+ the demo levels are easy on expert...

No, not really lol.

Isn't the demo only half of the level, too?

I find it quite challenging, even when we don't tk eachother (lol). I've only beat expert twice so far, and only just at that. It takes a good crew to make it through the subway system.

I know it's a demo, but it's still the buggiest/unstable game I've played in a long time.

Out of the 20/30 times I've tried, I've only connected to a server twice. The second time I crashed after 10 minutes. Those 10 minutes were very fun, and with teamwork I can imagine it being a blast, but they need to iron out it's faults before I splash the dosh.

FREAKIN' AWESOME.

I still haven't played that much, but I've loved every minute of it.

I must say though, that the unlimited pistol plus massive amount of other ammo is a bit annoying, actually. Makes it almost too easy imho. I always like the strategy part of having to conserve ammo as much as possible, but its only a minor quibble, really.

Re: Thoughts after playing the demo

the ease of the expert mode doesn't depend on a single person

Expert mode I have done a few times, but it requires concentration, especially with a dam witch or tank lol

should try impossible, crashed our clans server a few times mind with the insane numbers of zombeeehs, all with added hp

Well yes I have been playing this with 3 others over a teamspeak so yeah it makes it a lot easier :)

Yea, having 3 other people with mics helps, but then again, so does playing with people that understand that they should crouch during a rush so they don't get blown to pieces and people who understand when to throw pipe bombs and molotovs.

This is the best Zombie game I've played. It's like playing in your favorite Zombie flick. Good times. I'm waiting for Christmas though. The demo was enough to convince me to ask for it for a present.

I like how Valve has been keeping their games alive with frequent updates and new content. The Steam service itself totally rocks, so Left 4 Dead is all win in my book.

I agree with your first statement, however.... *inserts quote from another forum*

Now expert with people who know how to play is fun. It's challenging (anyone who says there's no challenge has no life and plays FPS's 18 hours a day). The witch likes to spawn in doorways (have fun with her one hit kills), and the tank does the same.

Also....

Re: Thoughts after playing the demo

I would have to disagree, sometimes certain situations arise where you cant do anything and your ****ed, mainly from people running off alone ahead and getting pinned. If you all stick together and work through each part methodically its not that hard at all. Another example is when im play we always have one person covering behind all the other players.
I would say im average at the game myself but it comes down to how you use teamwork rather than individual player ability. Obviously it helps if your good at the game anyway but good communication goes a long way. It is a challenge playing expert but Im honestly im yet to not get past a level after 2 attempts (co-op), I think I was being too generous with my statement that it is easy, definitely a challenge but a beatable one.

Re: Thoughts after playing the demo

I like the DeadAir poster, but aren't there 5 chapters? or is it 5 missions per chapter and 4 chapters?
