If your talking for the PC version then, yes you can play free online upload to steam connect to a server and your away. No but i really want this, got a few games i could trade in for it, it looks really really good. I think it's worth getting, nearly completed the first level on the online mode.

Phube Posted 3 January 2009 Share Posted 3 January 2009 PLayed the demo... but I don't like co-op/protect missions in games at the best of times... Let alone a whole game of it... But it would be great if you did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Posted 11 January 2009 Share Posted 11 January 2009 Got this yesterday, its a lot of fun, i think its supposed to be a bit more serious than i'm taking it, but it reminds me in a strange way of a sort of Shaun of The Dead type game, which is brilliant IMO. I dont think i've ever seen so many zombies on screen at one time, its a whole loada fun, and i've only played on the single player (i.e without 'real' team-mates). I bumped it onto advanced difficulty straight away, did the firdst chapter of one of the campaigns, started the second one, had 2 go's, nearly did it, then gave up and whacked it back onto normal. It's a challenge. I think when i've had some more play time with it, or if i was with real team-mates as opposed to AI, then it wouldnt be too bad on advanced, but very difficult on the next step up, which i think its good. Another thing i love about this is the variation of the enemies and routes you can use to get to certain places. You'll play, die at a certain part, get to the part where you just died, think 'i know where hes comin from now', and the thing will come up behind you and start tearing you apart. It's a brilliant enemy spawn system, really varied. Excellent so far,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

act smiley Posted 11 January 2009 Share Posted 11 January 2009 To be honest, the only way to play it is on Expert mode, because it becomes absolutely ridiculous. On the one with the train yard I always got spanked just around the first corner! Managed to complete Dead Air by hiding in the respawn room on the final section and placing petrol cans everywhere and setting them off. Absolute madness. Far more replay value than I'd have thought, too. Playing it on your own doesn't really keep in the spirit of it, but its an excellent game.

I've got it on 360. What else? Also, i really like the animation in the game - the way you shoot a zombie and it continues to stumble towards you - its really well done. Wouldnt expect anything less from Valve though. To be honest, the only way to play it is on Expert mode, because it becomes absolutely ridiculous.

I'm on the 3rd chapter of the sewers/subway type one, and bloody hell i've died twice trying to do it! Having to start from the beginning of the chapter aswel is a pain in the arse! Those witches are fcking horrible, if one of them gets you, you die, simple as, the AI is fairly dumb and they just let em rip you apart. Might give it a go online later.

Having to restart from the beginning of the chapter every time is really fcking annoying. It's a nice challenge though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gave it a blast on live with real players now and shitting hell, still cant do it - and in the 3 times ive tried, ive been the last man standing! The difficulty of this game is immense. I've only had it a day granted, but Jesus, i cant seen how i can do it, unless theres something big i'm missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tips: - Place all gas canisters, petrol tanks etc in places where the Hordes will run from. - When you get to the building which you have to call for help, get all surviours inside ammo up SHUT ALL DOORS, even the door to the stairs when you get onto the roof. - Try and use pipe bombs, i'm sure there are a few on this level. Edit: If the Achivements on the 360 version are anything like the PC version then killing the 55,??? zombies you have to get for the achivement shall be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think the achievement to get the 55k zombie kills will be that difficult due to the sheer volume of em on each level. I got the 100 headshots achievement in about an hour and i bet my ratio (kills to headshots) is about 1 headshot per 5 kills. I bet i've got 3k kills already. As long as it counts kills when you die and that. Wish it told you how many you had like it does on Gears 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if the achivement where you can kill the witch in one shot is on the 360 use the shotgun(aim for the head) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if the achivement where you can kill the witch in one shot is on the 360 use the shotgun(aim for the head) You definitely can on live yeah i think. I was looking at the achievements earlier and saw that one, and thought the sifle would be best for that one from range obviously as you cant get particularly close to the little feckers. Also, you can actually check how many zombies you've killed - i've got 1878/53596, so like i say, definitely do-able. Just did the chopper bit of no mercy, i had to put it onto easy just to see how to do it, and it was pretty easy. I'll give t another blast on normal tomorrow now i think.

Pst Posted 12 January 2009 Share Posted 12 January 2009 In No Mercy, we finished it on advanced by standing on the stairs. 2 at the top and 2 at the bottom. You are near enough immune to getting snagged by smokers. Just hold the zombies/infected off until the tank comes, run on the roof throw molotov at tank, then repeat after he dies.

Thats a good idea, though to do that you'd have to have 3 other friends playing cos the idiots on live dont listen, just do there own thang. Same with the AI. I wish you could give your AI team-mates instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
