    Yeah they added in a lot of lighting and fog effects. They go a long way towards making the game look purty.

    Has anyone seen the second TV spot? I dont have a link, but its downloadable on the steam store. I'm just curious if anyone knows what the song used in it is? The lyrics are only "these are my friends now" over and over, so i thought it would be easy to find. But i've had no luck yet.

    Its just another cut up of the intro video, but a really good one.

    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.

    Yeah that was epic fun.

    You know... maybe we should've tried that for the finale.

    Just tried Versus mode as Infected. God I love the Boomer. Very quickly racked up the points as I kept exploding on everyone in the sewers of No Mercy.

    I decided familiarizing myself with the single player would be a good idea.

    A full run of No mercy took me an hour and 12 minutes. A fucking hour.

    The presentation in this game is unprecedented and I can appreciate all the hard work that went into it.

    This is by far one of the best experiences I've had playing a fps and I still haven't even begun to take on multiplayer.

    The credit roll at the end of a campaign is a nice touch.

    You left me. You left us....

    4 DEAD!! D:
    Phoenix-D right? good game.

    Nah. Our game was me, Roland, CarbonFire, and Butterfly.

    Just followed up with an advanced Dead Air with BigJim swapped in for Carbon. Same exact end result. Myself as Francis and Louis made it out alive. We were all running around the plane like, "how the fuck do we get on?!" However Roland and Butterfly fail at musical chairs because as myself and BigJim are loading I see a smokered orange outline by the front of the plane growing farther away.

    I ran out to see if I could save them but there was a horde of zombies between me and the victim so I emptied a clip and gave up. Ran back into the plane just in time to take off.

    Good times.

    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?

    ^5 for making it to the chopper as well. I couldn't stop laughing when Roland went flying, it was just so unexpected but so very hilarious :lol: You really tore them zombies up FightTest, I couldn't keep up with your kill count no matter what I did (short of "accidentally" shooting you ;-))

    After completing it on advanced, I can see how an Expert run WOULD be possible. Just going to take a ton of coordination and communication to ensure no one gets dragged off and hunter raped.

    It's almost 3 am and I almost want to go back and play another round. Even though I'm dead tired.

    $45 WELL SPENT. Thanks Valve, yet again.

    I noticed a huge improvement in the explosion effects and the difficulty vary.

    Expert is really.. well fucking REALLY hard now. Couldn't even beat No Mercy at the end so fucking hard.

    Hahaha, I was the only one willing to suck it up and switch to advanced, which we never did. It isn't so bad, but man once you get to that last wave at Mercy Hospital, it's fucking crazy. Almost impossible. We came so close on multiple occasions.

    Haven't gotten a chance to play yet. Have to leave for work in about an hour, and if I try to play now, I'm just going to end up late. Hopefully, I'll manage to find a few people tonight who also haven't played it, so we can look upon the game with fresh, new eyes as they're being pulled out of their sockets by a hunter.

    That said, Valve's little trickiness with switching the places of the demo and full game gave me a bit of a scare. Took a minute for me to calm down and realize that the locked game that Steam claimed I hadn't purchased was the demo. Part of me wonders if that was intentional.

    I have a penchant for dying right at the end of the finale. Both No Mercy and Death Toll.

    "I'm coming back to save you!" Lots and lots of gun firing later killing a horde curb-stomping Louis...and he bleeds out. "I'm getting out of - oh God, tank on the ramp!" And then punted and the other two get whisked away in the chopper.


    Death Toll was worse. Two people dead and the other guy right behind me before a smoker gets him so I turn back and open fire, but I lose him too so it's off to the races towards the dock. Unfortunately the hunter didn't want me going up the steps to victory. He probably pushed me onto the boat, but the captain doesn't want to come out and blast a hunter off his yacht.



    I'm not sure if my mansion map will be viable, but I can see plenty of possibilities in other sorts of maps.

    Oh, man, I'd totally forgotten about this. A zombie short(as evidenced by the title) put up on Steam a couple years ago. Obviously, not safe for work or weak constitutions. Features dark humor, zombies, and nearly impossible to understand accents.

    I guess those are precisely the guys you really want not to be stuck with during the zombie apocalypse.

    Had an epic fight with a tank in the sewers. The tank was on fire and the group spread out, but everyone was in yellow or red so we couldn't outrun him. In the end it was just me left, in red HP but with a medpack. I hid inside a sideroom and healed up, all the while imagining him bursting in and knocking me out. Then I hear my team mates shouting that he is dead, and when I open the door he is lying right outside.

    Alright, I just have to survive until they respawn. I make my way to the respawn point and hide in the corner, pretty panicky by now. Then my team mates start screaming that there is a hunter in the room with me! I look around, and finally see him in the corner. I punt and manage to shoot him dead. A breath of relief, but then they start screaming about a smoker, and a second later I am pulled out the door by a concealed smoker, and then a boomer throws up all over me and they start violating me.

    God damn you director. God damn you for being awesome.

    I saw yesterday someone said that their Gamestop said it was in today...does this seem to be the case with most gamestops? Because Circuit City's fine print of "In Store Wednesday" WILL NOT SUFFICE.

    I know today is technically the SHIP DATE and all, but with my last 2 big purchases being Rock Band 2 and Fable 2, I'm getting used to being able to get things on Tuesday, so I'd like to keep that trend going...
