I am looking forward to it, yes.

However, I won't pick it up until:
-I see reviews.
-I know it doesn't come with SecureRom.
-I'm done with Saints Row 2.

Agree on the reviews.

But Secure-Rom? I mean, it's being made by Valve isn't it? If it had Secure Rom it would be like, Jesus punching you in the face, or something.

Ea doing is just like Satan damning your soul, it's just another day.

Yeah it won't have securerom since Steam is Valves securerom.

Last time I saw this game had pretty heafty minimum requirements which is what is keeping me away. Not sure if they were official or just what people were guessing since it has been awhile.

I don't know. I heard a few folks saying that EA published games had SecureRom even through Steam.

Yeah but those weren't developed by Valve. Valve has said that steam is their DRM/piracy protection and that they wouldn't use stuff like securom.

They can always change their mind but as of now Valve just uses steam to combat piracy.

Still, if EA is anywhere near the product it's best to be sure before you buy.

My PC isn't powerful enough to run the game plus I think I will wait until Episode III and this are packaged together. Maybe Portal 2 will be in there but I think that is wishful thinking.

Let me know what is more fun playing as the survivors or the zombies.

Also let me know your specs and how it performs.

After purchasing it a week or so ago, I finally got to fire up Left4Dead for about 10 minutes last night. I tried to do a quick single player run through as I was fitting this in before dinner.

Wow. This game has atmosphere up the ying-yang.

I didn't get to see much as the opening intro, which must be seen at least once, went for a few minutes, but what I did see left a pretty good impression.

I started off on top of an apartment building with three other survivors. We began to work our way down and immediately started encountering zombies. The normal zombies are brainless easy targets...until they spot you. That's when they rapidly become the zombies from 28 Days Later, IE: fast. They're so quick that it completely took me by surprise the first time one charged me. Really fast.

The big bads starting appearing right out of the gate. Within the first few minutes of gameplay, my team had already encountered a hunter, smoker, and boomer. This game does not ramp up the difficulty as you're already at the top.

My team played pretty well for AI, although they didn't really venture forth without me going first. They did stay in a nice diamond formation throughout.

The real star though was the sound. My team was constantly calling out status reports or saying what they hear around the next corner. The sounds of gunshots or a door crashing in followed by the groans of zombies has exactly the effect you would think. The best part in my few minutes was entering a really dark room and seeing a closed door with what sounded like a madwoman's cackle behind it. I assumed that a witch might reside inside and I immediately took my team the other direction.

So far, my impressions of the game are very positive. My only negative is that I have zero desire to play such an intimate multiplayer game with strangers. The team is only 4 people and I'd much rather succeed and fail with folks I know. I have TF2 for the strangers.

The witches are indeed bitches.  Light them up (literally, plenty of gas canisters around) & have everyone focus raining death on them.  Avoid them if possible.

The multiplayer seems painful if you don't have real teamwork.  If the survivors split up, they'll just get individually pinned or cornered by something.  If the zombies split up, the normal shambling Horde isn't enough to deter competent survivors.

This game is fucking awesome. I have no idea why more peeps here haven't purchased it yet so that we can all co-op through it, but if you're on the fence, go buy it.

Odd.  My excuse is, "Cos I do have a job."
