If/When you pick it up, give the single player a run through first. At least go through a single campaign just so you understand the various attacks, strategies, different baddies, weapons, etc.

Learn why you don't want to startle the witch.

That looks fun.

As soon as the box hits $30 or less, I'm all over it.

I hate you.

Buy the fucking first one!!! It's phenomenal. I've been waiting for a few of you to pick it up so we can multi through it.

The highest difficulty level is way, way too hard to go through with AI partners.

You haven't lived until you're going through a L4D level and you hear a witch somewhere close.

I meant as soon as the first one hit that price point.

I bought it for $25 when Catt posted in this chain that it was on sale.

It was a great purchase which I've been shouting from the mountain tops ever since.

With part 2 having been announced, I would imagine it'd be smart to keep your eyes on Steam for another discount soon. Remember that every weekend something is on sale there.

Every time I head to my buddy's & we break out the 360 for L4D multiplayer, I bring that point up. We always end up getting roasted when we don't play w\ folk we know.

Teamwork is beyond essential in that game.

Valve lately has been piggy backing on the 360 show during E3 so I'm a bit disappointed that there wasn't any mention of portal 2 or Ep. 3. I was hoping for another box set with a bunch of stuff thrown in.

Yeah, I was bummed about that too, but I have theories about what they're doing.

The 360 thing is obvious, they're trying to cater to a larger market. Let's be honest, they've got the PC market locked up.

As for Portal 2, it is in development, so if they didn't show anything, then it's not ready.

As for Ep.3, there has been speculation that HL3 might pick up immediately where Ep. 3 ends. So, we might be waiting for two games, not just one. I think you'll see Ep. 3 shown off when HL3 is ready to be announced.

Just my two cents.

Why?

Artist's conception of how the L4D box will look in my collection. Note: Source image is 3 years out of date.
