What happens in multi? Do I need to be any good, yet? I was planning on playing more tonight or tomorrow.

In multi, it'd be you and me and two AI peeps unless other folks joined us.

The game doesn't change. We try to survive the campaign. The difference is that if one of us dies, that person gets to be one of the big bad zombies.

Damn.... I love the sniper rifle. All that sniping in TF2 paid off. I cleared about 90% of the level solo with headshots.

I like the M-16. I use the shotgun until I find it.

How much do you love the witch?

I didn't play much, but I never had problems with the witch. Just make sure to kill her from a distance, and use something explosive whenever possible.

It's those darn explosive guys (with their horde) and tanks that kept killing me dead.

Same here.

Witches are bitches. Problem is I only ever play w\ one of my buddies on his 360. W\ two humans coordinating an attack on her, usually one of us gets his health dropped a lot. Never actually did any sniping. Always too busy trying to keep the survivor AIs alive.

Got all the way to the end of level 2, outside the next safe house, then the fucking bitch killed me.

Can she be killed, or do you need to go total stealth mode to get around her?

I still haven't gotten the achievement for one shot killing her.

I got the achievement for 100 headshots in the middle of level 2, heh. Really like the sniper rifle.

Noted.

I'm up to mission 4... is there some overall storyline, or is each mission just a fight from A to B?

A to B.

They're hinting that L4D2 will have more actual story.

I'm just waiting for the inevitable shopping mall level.

I was somewhat disappointed when the first one didn't've one of those.

I wasn't because it wasn't that type of game. For example, what's the storyline behind Team Fortress? There isn't one.

This type of game doesn't need a storyline. The storyline is to survive.

Now Dead Rising, that's a zombie game that needs a storyline.
