Left 4 Dead

Has anyone heard anything about this game?

The trailers look pretty sweet.

Unfortunately, it looks like it's co-op exclusive???

Correction. The teamxbox article stated "up to 4 players".

So far it looks like it has the makings of a great zombie game!   The developer interview was particularly interesting. Seems they put a lot into the zombie AI.

Hmmm...zombie intelligence...seems like an oxymoron...

Looks pretty fun.

The Zombies shamble about mindlessly like never seen before!

[phoenix1967]

Actually leon, they're RUNNING at you instead of shambling...

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

Ah lame, running zombies are impossible.

Ah lame, running zombies are impossible.

Not so. It worked pretty well in the "Dawn of the Dead" movie remake from a couple of years ago.

The latest developer interview stated that the replayability factor of the game is going to be pretty high due to the fact that zombie spawning is not fixed in the game. I guess each new game resets how the zombies are populated and you never know when or where they'll pop up. Sounds like a cool feature.

However, it seems each multiplayer co-op session will be short (play through to survive in less than an hour), but hopefully the offline campaign is longer (not much has been said about that yet).

I love zombie game's.

I am not a fan of running Zombies like Leon but that looks pretty sweet.

And it looks like there's a variant where you can play on the other side as the zombie bosses against the humans!

It was a good movie but it's still retarded. I would consult the Zombie Survival Guide but I didn't bring it down to the new house. Something about how running breaks down too much muscle that will never regrow. Also it would be beyond their brain capacity, as is climbing things.

That is such an awesome book. You better hope there isn't a break out while you don't have that book.

I seriously can't wait for Left for Dead.  My friends and I are ready for some 4 player zombie killing action. 

PS. The Zombie Survival guide was a fucking awesome read.  (Even though I already knew every thing that was in it)

[phoenix1967]

Split screen (2-player) and system link have been confirmed! YES!

I'm prepared both with it as a book and book on cd.
