    This game is just so good I just finished No Mercy....we played on advanced and had to switch to normal, we versed 2 tanks at the end I just couldn't believe it.

    And so many boomers.

    This is my goty honestly, I just want this game to do so amazingly well that valve will spend time to do crazy add ons for it.

    Demo of our finale fight if anyone wants to see:

    Save image to your comp and open with winrar to extract demo.
    (file hosting sites suck so I'm gaming photobucket)

    Somewhat off-topic, but how did you do that? (The whole "image which is an archive" thing.)

    biggest desires atm:

    versus on all campaigns

    more campaigns

    more weapons or the ability to upgrade/specialize??? i dunno, it seems weird having 2 sets of weapons, you get the 2nd set in the 2nd level and they remain the same til the end?? probably dumb


    in that order. this game owns

    I just woke up

    I see some of you have already beaten the first campaign on expert

    you beasts

    So does the game get more difficult as the campaign progresses?

    I'll probably play through them all once on Advanced then move to Expert.

    What are the campaigns past No Mercy like? Are the No Mercy levels even better than what we saw in the demo? I have about five hours to go, but I may not be able to play due to horrible sickness. Makes me VERY SAD.

    So I fell asleep before the game was "released" and didnt get any midnight gaming in. Now I'm awake and it says "Pre-load complete, purchase now to play!" but, but, but I already purchased it. You said I could play, Valve. Where is my play?

    No Mercy levels are awesome. The first is exactly the same as the demo, the rest are different. The hospital is awesome.

    all the finales are epic as hell and better gameplay than the demo by a lot and theyre very tense and difficult


    and versus is incredible, but its limited to no mercy and blood harvest

    Was that 4 pack deal always there or was it added last night?

    I didn't buy this before partially cause I didn't know if it'd be worth the price, but getting 3 other people in on the deal to get it for $37.50 isn't bad. I just need to get a hold of 3 other people.

    Also does steam charge your credit card in US dollars or is it $49.99 in CDN as well? It's been a while since I've purchased a steam game.

    4 pack was added last night.

    My group threw in the towel at about 2 am est. Expert run fail. The demo was a lie.

    You end up short ammo, short meds, short on life.

    in summary: Awesome.

    Thanks Sarksus :mrgreen: You being so slow got me an achievement!

    edit: we had a bunch of people on so we played vs mode on the No Mercy level. Absolutely awesome. Team A beat Team B by about 1500 points even though we had Sarksus. The end level was just epic, with Team A managing to escape while I pounded Team B to hell with a tank :D I knocked one dude off the platform into oblivion!!

    Best game ever made? Best game ever made.

    Played to the end of No Mercy on Expert.

    We died a lot.

    Didn't beat it.

    BUT TONIGHT!!!!!!!!

    And fuck whoever said 2 hours to beat the game. On expert it's a whole 'nother game. With a good organized team I'd say at least 4-5 hours. That's if you don't wipe. Which you will.


    Good god.

    Also, I'm saying this publicly...Peewi, I'm *really* sorry we had to drop you from the group. I had already promised that we would play Blood Harvest with a friend of mine, and he was just taking a little while to join. I felt like an ass asking you to leave. I was going to make you player of the week in the PA group to make up for it...but you already are.

    This is the biggest drawback of the game.

    And for the record, if I join a game and yall are waiting on someone, don't feel bad about it. We'll have plenty of zombie killin time laters.

    No kidding. On advanced it took us, what, hour 10 minutes the first game?


    Every game I've played has taken over an hour.

    Totally. the team I was in couldn't beat it on Expert unfortunately. There was no real communication though - despite the fact that they were good and worked as a team. :(

    This game is so epic. Really, really happy with this game.
    On one of the final maps, set in a house we put our "flawless" plan to the test. This game being what it is, the shit hit the fan pretty fast. We somehow managed to slug our way through it, losing the one AI player in the process - then I see it - "The boat is coming!" with panicked cries of "Where?" ringing in my ears. Our luck being what it is, it sails past the house and up to the pier.

    Fuck. One of my teammates yells for us to run and we gun it out onto the balcony to be met with 40 or so zombies, I start plowing through them only to hear a cry from behind me, "A hunters got me!" I run back to help, picking him up off the ground - "Dude behind you!" - I turn just in time to see a tank running full pelt at us. My other friend decides to jump off the balcony and makes a sprint for the boat, leaving the two of us with a giant problem.

    I dodge to the side only to see the person i just helped up get mauled to death by the aforementioned tank. He screams at me to run, there's nothing I can do for him. I run tailing far behind my cowardly friend who is just about to make it back to the boat. I yell, pleading for him to turn around and provide some cover fire and thankfully he does so. So close to freedom the worst thing possible happens, "SMOKER!" - bam I'm caught in a tongue. My final words were "Don't you let them take me you bastard! You fucking rat!" Dragged off into the angry mob of infected all hope was lost as i watched him sail off to safety.

    So fucking intense.
