Bottom line: If you've got a 360 and L4D, good times can be had. Add "A PA L4D Group" to get in on the fun!

A common complaint I hear about the list is that there's no one actually playing L4D on it. Just invite people on the list, regardless of what they're playing. The list is there to get groups together, and a lot of the time people will drop out of whatever they're doing and join in. I for one will pretty much always switch over to L4D, unless I just got in a CoD : WaW party like I did last night when Kawl wanted to play.

    It's beyond aesthetics, it opens up interesting gameplay scenarios. Like last night we had one guy with a flashlight pointed at a stairwell while the rest of us used weapons without flashlights to mow down the incoming hordes.

    You can see their flashlight, but IIRC the dynamic lighting model on it isn't as complex as in L4D. Although I could be mistaken. I might have a look later and see.

    Yeah your probably right, but they could do what Doom 3 did and do some cheating on the flash effects.

    Eh, the flashlight in Left 4 Dead looks like a projected texture really, and not that complex atall.

    Actually, on the note of flashlights we left the last thread on, I've given all the campaigns a go playing without a flashlight on Advanced (with bots). It's fairly interesting, as for quite a few of them, accessories spawn in places with low lighting where you might not want to venture if there could be an actual threat there. I recommend playing through CC once with no flashlights if you want to see what I mean.

    And, although it's rather 'after the fact', I'd actually say that Valve could make the flashlight an accessory that you find and design their levels around that, not only hiding pills etc. in dark places, but also having alternative routes that are closing on pitch black, and you might not want to go into without a flashlight, but have some benefit to taking (more item spawns, quicker route through, etc.).

    My computer is only a step or two above a toaster, so it'd probably kill mine.

    And speaking of playing this on a toaster, have the spec's for L4D2 been confirmed to be the same as L4D1?
