It's good, but where's the dialogue? Hardly anyone spoke a word to each other except when interacting (healing, reviving, friendly fire).

Does anyone have any spare demo codes for a poor scottish student fallen on hard times?

I tried to pre-order the game using me last tuppence as the deposit, but they turned me away and threw me out onto the cold Dundee streets. I fell hard on to the freezing cobbles and twisted my ankle. I called out to a Gentleman as he passed, beseaching him to help me up - but he just hit me with his silver topped cane and called me a filthy parasite. I eventually pulled myself up and tried to hobble the many miles back to my hovel, but I was set upon by a gang of beggar children and they stole the coat off of my back and the very shoes from my feet. I could do nothing but carry on through the bitter Scottish weather, pierced by the biting wind and soaked through by the driving rain.

I made it back to my humble shack, but I can feel the chill in my lungs spreading. I don't think I could even summon the strength to call for a Doctor. Not that it matters, Doctors don't come for people like me.

If only... if only I could play the L4D2 demo, before I slipped away. If only I could hear the voices of my dear goon friends just once more. Then at least I could die with one good memory, kept safe in my heart, and I would tell the angels that I knew happiness in my lifetime - if only for a moment.

You shouldn't have bought those batteries .

L4D is just a game, you know - there isn't really a zombie apocalypse...though I guess it's never a bad idea to be prepared.

Edit: Actually, on second thoughts, what would someone do with money after the world has been taken over by zombies? I mean, you can find all the guns, health and explosives you need just lying around in the middle of the road.

jeffLebowski posted:

Do you really just spam shotgun shells at it

Generally, yes. The whole point of the tank is that it takes concentrated fire from all teammates to take it down. If the whole team has auto shotguns then you can kill it with 10 rounds from each on normal (and probably verses). If the team splits up and nobody gets stuck while running backwards, a tank isn't much of a problem. The problem is that while people are focussing on the tank, Mr. Smoker can touch you inappropriately and a nearby hunter can give you a "free hug".

Also if anyone just wants the 20 car pile up achievement, play verses split screen (2nd controller is survivors) and park your character by the car when the tank spawns. If you're clever you can in theory get 12 out of 20 hits in one match.

There are two achievements for the spitter:

A SPITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS (15G) - As the Spitter, spit on a Survivor being choked by a Smoker.

I dunno, the pain is the 20 Car Pile Up because I never ever see Tanks spawn in Versus except in the finale.

You can get this in one playthrough on the finale if you're against 4 willing humans who all heal when they're black and white (you get 2+2+3 knockdowns per person if each person has two health packs available, which they do, one player stays out of the way the whole time, giving you 21 hits with a car).

You can of course get more if the player who stayed out of the way lets you hit him, meaning that there's a total of 28 hits available on the finale. Plenty! You can get the achievement and then get Truck Stop in the same playthough if you're careful.

I like things like this - it means they can put in insanely unrealistic achievements for hardcore players while still making it possible for regular players to get all the achievements. I just wish these avatar awards were more difficult to get (e.g. "kill 100,000 zombies", "kill 10,000 zombies with the electric guitar", "win 1000 verses matches", "complete a campaign on expert mode with realism enabled and taking no damage using only a frying pan").

So are the infected spawns exactly 20 seconds apart now or does the timer start after a minute and a half of "you are dead....."? Also, do the spawn patterns match the original L4D ones (where it gives you whatever special infected isn't around at the moment you respawn, or in my case a hunter every time)? How does it work with 6 playable special infected? Is there guaranteed to be at least one boomer or hunter at any one time?

The reason I ask all these questions is because I need to recalibrate my stopwatches.
