L4D2 leaked trailer. F* Yes!
The trailer is poorly directed and piece-mealed together. Especially when compared to the original trailer for the first game. Still, I think I’ll loop it a few times. It looks like it’ll be amazing fun.

BF2 1.50 patch to unite gamers
Battlefield 2. This is the game that made me upgrade my computer back in the day (and it still was barely enough).
Now, a few years later, and a few expansions later, and they are doing a great move: making all the expansions free.
The bane of any multiplayer game is a splintered community that makes it harder to find a compatible game. Requiring DLC to get on a specific server to play with certain people limits the number of players willing to continue paying for this product, instead of simply moving on to the next, better FPS.
But now they are reforming their community, with a game that will now run on any modern system.
I’m looking forward to when it is released:

pLayday: 3/5 – Left 4 Dead
Today, let’s run with Left4Dead again on the 360. We may be able to get enough people for a good old versus match. Otherwise, we can try playing through on Easy for some Achievements, or Normal/Hard/Expert depending on what people want to do.
And here’s a link to the upcoming DLC videos:

We’ve got a couple new L4D’ers out there, so let’s get back to one of the best multiplayer games available. Left 4 Dead will be tonight’s game. Hope to see you all there.

Left 4 Dead Sale extended.
I intended to post about this earlier this weekend, but ended up just telling specific people. Now that it’s extended, I guess it’s time for an overall announcement.
Left 4 Dead is one of the best multiplayer games. It is fun with any number of players, from 2-8. The PC version will have Mod support coming this Spring/Summer and is currently on sale for $25.
Since this game will probably not drop below $20 for at least a couple years, this is about as cheap as you would ever be able to get it. If you intend to own a PC capable of playing this game in the next 1-2 years (which, should be everyone assuming a 4 year turnaround on computers running an OS that isn’t linux), then you have little reason not to pick this up.
Unless you hate fun. Or don’t have $25.

Because all things L4D are cool…
Most people think adding Wiimotes to custom jobs is cool. I think adding L4D to anything is cool. Therefore, this may be doubly cool to some of you.
To everyone else, it will at least be signularly cool:

Surviving Expert L4D
I found this wordpress blog post to be both informative and interesting. Did you know that once you set a Tank on fire, it is going to die X seconds later, no matter if you shoot it or not? Or that if it jumps in the water the fire goes out, but it will still die X seconds later?
Useful stuff. I’m going to have to try some of this out.

i recently found a pretty helpful video on youtube about some tips that mainly help out in multiplayer. the most useful one in here is how to relocate the witch if you’re playing as the infected. nice find, phokal, there’s a lot of good stuff in there.
i think we should try a L4D expert run through one of these nights, i’m dying to get that achievement.

forgot to post the link to the youtube vid:

seeing that an expert run takes 6 hrs, I think we’ll want to start during the day ;)
Anyone else interested in joining in on this?
Also, from the sound of the guide, dying doesn’t stop the achievement, only going idle. You just need to make it to the boat/vehicle for it to count. True?

espion4ge
hey what’s up – i’m the author of the article. thanks for the trackback! just an fyi, a reader informed me that it is possible to get the achievements even after you go idle so just make sure you get back before the campaign is over. just wanted to clear that up…

so when is this gonna go down?
i played l4d all day friday and saturday split screen with one of my buddies who is a complete zombie movie nut, and he was absolutely going crazy over the game. i’ve been on a l4d bender myself as well, i just can’t stop playing it, and every time i try to stop and play another game, i end up missing the speed, controls, AUTO SHOTTY (best shotgun in any game), ai, mood, atmosphere, everything that is in left 4 dead.
expert play through has to happen.

Phokal
@espion4ge thanks! I was actually quite worried about that as I was playing through.
@hintzilla hah! I’m pretty busy this week, but this weekend sometime or early next week would work.
and as an early preview, I’m going to be organizing pLayday again starting next week. Thursdays@9pm. We’ll be playing L4D, Gears2, or GTA4. We can figure it out once we see who all is online.

there is no end to: Left 4 Dead
Abandoned and alone in a city infested with zombies, you have no hope for survival. The feeling of being surrounded but isolated is what most zombie/horror stories, movies, and games go for. Yet, in many stories there are at least some other human survivors (for awhile). Left 4 Dead centers around this aspect: the teamwork to survive. However, in a traditional zombie movie, four CounterStrike counter-terrorist agents would have little trouble surviving. Something has to be done to make the game challenging for the people who are already excellent at games like Halo or Team Fortress 2.
That something is the endless horde of 28 Days Later zombies.
hintzilla, and 
espion4ge are discussing.

Get Hyped for: Left 4 Dead
FPS. 4 player co-op. Zombies.
Published with Valve (Half Life/Team Fortress 2), made by the Counterstrike guys.
This is all you should need to know to begin to get excited for this game. Not enough? Well, lets delve into the other details they’ve reveal:

Hey,
I just wanted to say that I’m glad you’re not being a negative nancy over this game. I’m sold.

The Counterstrike guys making a game with Valve about Zombies focused on Co-op? With splitscreen (maybe)?
The only negative is that I’m going to have to buy both the PC and 360 version (and eventually the 360 version x2 if it has 2 player split screen).
Actually, I would hope for cross platform play. Orange Box’s TF2 is a bit weak due to the lack of decent servers/hosts. But, since this only needs 4 people it really isn’t as much of a problem.

This game is going to be awesome.

Hi, I’m really excited about this game. So much so that I went and created forums for it! Really can’t wait to play. Zombies from Valve and co-op, it’s going to be sweet! Check out left4deadforums.com
