ok so i dont really get this. what i read is that there are 4 people and they are in the city and have to fight their way out. Obviously its MP so the 4 people are whoever you want them to be, but what i dont understand is how the set up is going to work. Do you open up a server and its got 4 slots and when 4 people join you start the game? Or do you jsut start the game and people join as you play and take over AI characters. And after you complete the mission do you just start all over again from the beginning? So every time you and your friends beat it you just start all over again? Im sorry if this stuff was posted anywhere before but i couldnt find any info about this.

He's not asking what it is.
He's asking how it works.
I don't think they're going to do that...

Okay basically there this infection that takes over the human race...YADA YADA YADA old news...anyways! there are only four people left and you are one of them. In single player you play along side 3 other AI, but in multiplayer you can either choose to be on the Infected Side or the Human side. The point of each "map" or "level" is go get from one place to another. I remember reading somewhere that the creater of the AI system was also the creater of the Source AI. But the bots wont be so obviously stupid. This game has a sort of what they call AI Director and it monitors each person's input on the level. If that person isn't going a lot then the Director will send more zombies after that one person. And then it will cool off allowing them to catch their breath. ULTIMATLY the game will be differnt if you play single player or multi

You might try it, its kinda fun, but lots of cussing. I would imagine Left 4 Dead will be alot better.

Some basic info, I really wanna get this game, BUT Super smash bros first , btw, anyone know when this game comes out?
There will be four scenarios with around five maps each in the first release of Left 4 Dead. These scenarios take place in various urban and rural locales, including a hospital, cornfield, airport, and murky countryside. Four players take control of the four main characters of the game, "The Survivors", who play through the levels fighting off the Infected, which are humans who have been infected with a mutated form of rabies. Each scenario has four maps in which the players move from safehouse to safehouse, indicated by a red door, where the players get a save point and those who have died earlier in the level will return. The fifth map will have the players defending their position from a final onslaught of the infected until their getaway vehicle arrives, such as a helicopter in the hospital scenario. Each scenario lasts between 45 and 75 minutes.
Survivors don't die instantly from too much damage — they are first knocked down, but can continue to fire with their pistols until helped by another Survivor or they bleed to death. The Survivors can be knocked down a maximum of three times, after which they are dead. Movement speed is affected by injuries, slowing damaged Survivors down until they are helped by health kits or pain medications. Checkpoints provide a respawn point for dead Survivors. As long as one Survivor manages to reach a checkpoint, the others will appear again on the map in closets or in other "trapped" situations, and will rejoin their allies when found. Left 4 Dead will have full friendly fire that can't be switched off.
