Well it goes live tomorrow morning, as far as I know. Si is setting up a server I believe, but I think we may be somewhat over subscribed for this game already

LOL. So true.. It's like u can read the future! Wel... L4D is released tommorow morning around 8am.. I'll probably be on it all night tommorow from 6:30 - 7pm ish I've been playing around with a dedicated server - And hopefully i'll have it working on release.. Enough though it's running on my computer it's still better than hosting locally, for many reasons. Can't wait for this... Really looking forward to completing the NO MERCY caimpaign!

Wifeblame is old - you're allowed listed to chick music dude, we all think your gay anyway!
We can probably have more than 1 group running to be honest, plenty of us trying it. I will be playing as little as possible between now and Friday. Am having a lan session friday - saturday and were only going to be playing l4d so want as much of it as possible to be new.
If anyone is interested in some coop Red Alert 3 let me know - its a fun game. Quite over the top which is cool.

Don't forget versus mode left4dead is a great game. as some of you know i played it again last night and considdering its a demo - so far, its replay value has been second to none. taking this into account, logic suggests that the full release will be super awesome.... maybe even epic like Portal (whoa, did i just say that?). i wasnt going to buy a game this month... but thats likely to change! one question though. will there be an increase in the amount of people who can play in any given session? im unaware how it will work in vs mode but currently in the demo i believe its 4 for co-op. now i understand that given the nature of the storyline and the fact that there are only 4 characters in the loading screens this may be the limit but am i the only one who wants to be a part of a 10 player zombie co-op fight? think of wow instancing but only... more... fun *hides*

As Christopher Lambert would say...
"There can be only 4"
4 Survivors is the maximum. I had thought that only 1 person could play on the zombie team but it turns out this is wrong. I don't know if there is a limit on the zombie side, but I think that anymore than 2 and at an absolute stretch 3 would be too many. The reason being you could stand on the roof with 4 smokers and snatch an entire team at once. Or run at them with 4 tanks which would be unbeatable.
They might allow more players and limit them to standard zombies - that could be cool, but special zombies should be 2 at most. With Si and me on the cracked demo's we could easily beat another team with just two of us naffing around as zombies.

Left 10 Dead wouldn't work barnett.
it's left *4* dead for a reason.
Soooo Versus mode.. It's 8 players MAX!. 4 per team
Team one plays a level as survivors, whilst team two are the "boss infected", then team 2 plays as surviors, whilst team 1 plays infected... You do this until u play all the maps in a caimpaign.
At the end, the team with the highest score wins.
I believe scores are dictacted by how fast u complete a level & how much damage you take (as survivors), how many survivors you kill/ injure, and how many times u use special abilities successfully (as the infected).

I believe scores are dictacted by how fast u complete a level & how much damage you take (as survivors), how many survivors you kill/ injure, and how many times u use special abilities successfully (as the infected). From Wikipedia - this looks awesome fun too - if we get 8 of us.. Versus mode Left 4 Dead will introduce a new 8 player versus experience. In the deathmatch Versus mode, four additional players can take control of powerful Infected with unique abilities, amongst the other AI-controlled Infected. The playable Infected numbers are limited so players must select their preferred Infected and wait for it to spawn, with the Tank as the exception, it being able to only spawn once per scenario. The Infected have the ability to see Survivors through the walls at a certain range if the Survivors are running, have the flashlight on, or are talking. The Infected can also see in the dark, unlike the Survivors. Infected spawn ahead of the Survivors and can, if they stay still, see a marker for their likely path of advance so they can set up ambushes. Throughout levels, Infected-only ways up buildings are marked with symbols. These can be climbed and used for ambushes, especially with the Infected immunity to falling damage.[citation needed] Versus mode will be playable on half of the maps that come with the game.

Except for Boomers - Who explode when they fall... Which can be used for "Boomer bombing" That was my favourite strategy when playing as one "DEATH FROM ABOVE!!!" Then in the panic, with a hoarde of infected attacking the Survivors, Fal (as a smoker) would pick one up and string them up!

He he ... yeah.
With 4 on 4 there is actually quite a lot of strategy. I don't know how they will do it... 4 well placed (well timed) smoker / hunter combo's will clear a team so should be fun to play both sides.

People i know who have pre-ordered;
Me Greebo Si Terry Iain André Rob
