I figured you were out.

And honestly, you not being into this is a bit perplexing.

The game is extremely well made and balanced. It's made specifically for co-op, a game mode you love. It has millions of bad guys, something you loved about Serious Sam. It's horror based, and you like horror. It's got zombies!!! It's an FPS, which you love.

I know you feel in respect with it, but I have no idea how you didn't fall in love with it. I was playing it again last night and will again tonight.

I'm out. Hell, I still haven't played TF2 since I bought it.

I know. On paper, it all looks perfect.

Maybe my head just isn't in the right place, lately.

Hm. Didn't think to look if it was the PC or not, probably not.

Drat.

And in an act of supreme instant gratification and retarded financial sense, peer pressure has helped me buy this game tonight, with an entire night to play it, instead of waiting.

Oh well. At least I'll be killing zombies.

Oh man, Versus mode is greeeaaattt.

4x4, take turns playing Survivors/Special Infected. You go one round on each level of a campaign, and you get points as to how far the survivors get per level (it's almost impossible to finish without dying).

Infected spawn as a random zombie, but you get to go in ghost mode to choose where to spawn, which leads to coordinated ambushes.

I had noticed random bathrooms, and places in the regular game that seemed like were kind of useless, but it all makes sense in Versus mode. That's where the Zombies can choose to spawn and hit the survivors from all sides. Great fun.

I'll pick this up Friday when it's on sale for $30. I'm also going to trade in Batman: Arkham Asylum, so I should only pay $5.

I'm going to try and get that Crash Course 5k zombies killed achievement tonight before I move onto part 2.

Awesome ad for Mass Effect 2 at the start (at least when I viewed it).

I saw in the last PC Gamer that there's a Helm's Deep level available for L4D. I'm going to grab that tonight.

Those deadite bastards are going to tonight, and I'll be there with my boom stick to repel them.

I know this is late. But after having the game for a really long time, I finally started messing around with it today. Played survivor mode. It's ruined now. I kept hitting 'Quick Match' and after 5 tries, I gave up. Every server had cheats enabled where you took no damage. Just kept going and going. Or there was a mod building structures to hide in that the zombies couldn't get into. Or there were mods playing as the zombies and could walk through walls and fly. I had to start my own game and play with AI team mates.

Other than that, looking forward to doing the campaign co-oply.

I've found it's best to play with friends or bots. Let me know when you're going and I'll hop on and coop with you. Nice thing is friends of anyone in the room can join the room, so friends of friends end up hopping on as well and it can fill up nicely without too much trouble.

The real jewel of the game is regular versus mode. Four versus four trading out zombies and survivors, and playing the zombies is more fun IMO. But don't expect to finish every round; the zombies end up winning about half the time. Again, though, much better with friends.
