Yes, unfortunately this game has mercilessly ruled my life as of late. Great adrenaline rush, and as long as you hook up with decent players, the online co-op is a blast. I was initially skeptical of playing a co-op based multiplayer with achievements (players who are looking to just get achievements don't necessarily mix well with players such as myself who are interested in the objectives), but it has worked out well so far.

I'm playing it on the PC, so just add DeadNotSleeping to your friends list in Steam if you are interested in dealing some serious damage to the Zombie Apocalypse!

btw, I know I was not the only one here thinking Reavers when playing this, right? :)

I downloaded this a few weeks ago and we played it nonstop at our LAN party over New Year's, it is an absolute riot of a game especially when its 4 friends duking it out against the zombies...i can't play it over steam with anyone since mine is not a legal copy but if someone really gets the itch, we can setup a LAN over Himachi.

Wow... now that you mention it!

I wish I could make mods. Looking around the L4D communities some modders have made new environments, and some are pretty sophisticated (at least they appear that way to my untrained eye).

And some people have made some new skins for Zoey, Bill...



It's not hard to imagine a map through Mr. Universe's compound being chased by Zombies/Reavers as one of 4 BDHs.

I play it. Gamer tag is Browncoat1 76th oddly enough.

Love the game and play it often. Played online with friends a couple of times and had some funny moments. Definitely great for co-op play.

My best friends brother was one of the guys who helped to develop the game. If you have any questions just let me know and I will see what I can find out from an actually insider.

Simon: What if he(Mal) tells you to kill me?
Zoe: (without hesitation) I kill you.

Cool, here goes...My wife and I have played the xbox offline co-op through all of the campaigns several times - obviously we love it (I can see why online co-op has to be a lot of fun too), we're just hoping for more levels, weapons, bosses, story... more everything. Any inside scoop on if any of those are coming to the xbox anytime soon? Yeah, I know the game is pretty new!

Yeah, I am!

I "beat" the game last weekend on expert with some friends. And I say "beat" because although the game is designed to be re-playable, it really is very self-contained. You can "beat" it by completing all the levels. After that, replaying them becomes a novelty. It's a great game, but without more weapons or levels.. I don't know how long i'll bother booting it up.
