Yea it was amazing. I have it pre-ordered for the PC.

I loved it when I was right in front of a door and zombies poured in 2 at a time and I mowed them down with headshots with my M16 style rifle. What the Dev. next to me said was hilarious.

"Nice shot." XD

Sucked tho when my clip ran out and there was at least another dozen zombies rushing for me. Thanks to Omni with his autoshotty addiction! I'd be a gonner!

I loved the shotgun. It's no fun without it. I tried that sniper scope remember and didn't do as well as the shotty.

Loved those weapon lockers / cache through out the levels.

Remember when Artimus tried to save Rymo? and got killed, and you jumped into the copter in time. (well you stayed in the copter haha. Only survivor on normal mode.)

We're gonna need vent servers for this. Supposidly there is not voice chat? Only that voice redial menu, which was good, I suppose, it doesn't ruin from the atmosphere from it, but we like the voice chat so much better.

But that Advanced/Hard mode was too hard. I couldn't survive through any of those. Wasn't enough healing packs through out the levels for that. That was the only hard part. not having enough med kits to heal everyone.

I've had atleast one or two dreams about killing those infected. I'm sure we could have done better or something if we defended 1 or 2 entrance points or something instead. Ugh. Keep thinking about it.
 
Hey Omniblast, I was actually the one that made it out on the helicopter. I jumped in and shot zombies from the inside while everybody else stood on the heli-pad shooting. We didn't realize the helicopter would take off before we were all in it! O_o

I just remember when you and Jeebus were in the closet and I was low health trying to find you, I turned the corner and a zombie jumped right in my face and killed me before I could make it. That was after the CPU named Bill saved me. haha.

Great times, I can't wait for it to be a regular part of this clan!

There will be voice chat in L4D.
 
I have already set aside $60.00 to buy this game. I expect it to be in the 50 - 60 buck range.

I'm pumped!!

Cant wait to play.
 
For all you TF2 players, remember that there are no spies and shooting your friends in the back is... shooting your friends in the back. I should know. I'm fairly certain I half-killed everyone... oops?

PS I'm sad someone forgot to put my name on that list ;)
 
Are we the only play testers ATM? Or at least the largest contributor?

I think a nice TY from L4D would be a zombie modeled with an eGO hoodie!
 
Game play seems awesome but 12 players max servers dont appeal to me and dont make me want to spend 50 bucks
 
very nice guys
heard the sniper if trash in the game tho..
makes me very sad

Oops sorry Rymo! hehe. I guess at that part I was kinda disheartened that I didn't survive and got you guys mixed up!

Yeah I remember our AI Bill haha. That was pretty close though, I thought you were going to make it and save us. :p
 
man oh man, I can't wait for the game. So many people in my class are gonna get it..


Hey... since eGo has been helping test the game, maybe we could try and get a discount for eGo members?????????
 
Let me guess... you were playing on a lan and Jehuty's excuse for dying all the time was that he was lagging?

Awesome, I can't wait to get this game when it comes out!
 
You guys don't know how envious I am of you!
I want to test it so bad!
 
Sounds like an incredible game!

I pre-ordered it three days ago!

Peace!
 
And btw, testing was awesome. It was so nice to meet all the cool people in that Valve office, who were very generous with the swag (yay, right handed poster!).
Gameplay is extremely impressive, and i am sorry that i emptied about half a clip into a friend (well, what was i supposed to do!? Bombers and tanks coming up from the stairs, you scared me!). Once you get your team together and COMMUNICATE what the plan is, strategizing for your life becomes a whole lot more fun.
As i am terrified of zombies, i believe the relief and therapy i got from the session was worth every minute of the drive. The graphics, shadow effects, disembowled corpses, and hellish cornfields were just an extra bonus. I'll sleep with my m4 from now on.
Getting to meet clan members in real life made it extra special. Can't wait for the next one!
 
Wow, testing must've been awesome! I think i'm not buying left 4 dead cause zombies and night skies noise scares the heck out of me!
