    Only me and one other person survived No Mercy. This game is way to fucking hard now. We tried expert but that was just too much.

    Whoa, Whoa. Expert is now impossible now? Why and how? I'm kind of afraid to ask.

    Well the biggest difference is as soon as we stepped through the first door in the game we were getting raped by two bosses and several zombies. Hordes are everywhere now. Not to mention it took is about 6 tries on advanced at the last stage of No Mercy because, let's just say, one tank is not enough. You can NOTICE the difference between advanced and expert.

    Consider that now everything's that much longer.

    Staggering to the minigun in No Mercy with everyone half dead or worse does not bode well for one's future.

    Guys, did anyone notice this achievement:
    OUTBREAK

    Catch a rare strain of infection, then pass it on to someone else.

    Does that mean we're gonna start gunning down our teammates?

    Its just a viral achievment, play with a dev or someone that has, I believe.


    Also valve gets major bonus points for inlcuding color blindness options in the menu, makes the crosshair and lifebars much easier to see.

    Just did my first No Mercy full run. PA group on advanced, ridiculously fun. It got about 50x better at the end when, during our final stand waiting for the choppa, the tank ran over and backhanded Roland right the fuck off the building. Just watched his little outline go flying. One of the funniest moments I've had playing a game in a long fucking time.

    Myself (Francis) and Louis made it to the choppa, because fuck old people and girls, amirite?

    This basically happened to me too. =/

    Right as we were going for the helicopter, a boomer came out of no where and vomited on me, then once I could see again, a tank suddenly appeared out of no where almost throwing me off the hospital. Then a hoard of zombies mauled me to death while I was trying to find a way back onto the landing pad.

    All while my teammates flew off to safety without me! D=

    No Mercy on advanced was a bitch to finish.

    Playing on 360 version, this game rules.

    My group made it to the end of the 2nd campaign but the server tossed us just as we were about to board the boat. We were so fucking pissed.

    Some comments for 360 players.

    The game looks a million times better than the demo. Maybe a zillion. I knew the retail version would look better, but shit, I didn't expect this level of polish.

    Some other comments:

    Expect to get tons of achievements in your first few hours. Joy.

    Playing on advanced for 6 hours got us to the end of the 2nd campaign -- oh yeah "this game is too short" my ass. We even had to tone it down to normal for the end of the No Mercy campaign, after getting our collective asses kicked multiple times on advanced.

    Played around with versus as well. Tons of fun.

    This game is definately in the running for GOTY in my books.

    No Mercy on Advanced: Awesomesauce. The levels are all excellent, and the finale is tons of fun. Took us three tries, and on the third two of us made it out.

    Dead Air is cool, some fun parts, but the level design isn't quite up there with NM. The Finale is also less interesting since it lacks the multi level aspect of the NM finale. Still tons of fun overall.

    Started Death Toll, but had a crash and decided to call it for the night. Game went from being super fun in the demo to my GotY.

    Moment of the night was running into a tank on No Mercy 4, and him knocking two of our guys onto the ledge. He moved to finish them off, but instead took a detour to the first floor.

    Thank you for this post. Its taking a lot of willpower to wait until friday for the 360 version, since its up on steam now. But this information really helps.

    And i mean, a lot of willpower....
