    Beat No Mercy and Death Toll; I was gipped of the accomplishment both times. Everybody else got them; anybody else experiencing this problem.Note: I was left for dead at the finale of No Mercy, but safely escaped (by a hair!) for Death Toll.
    It was just the AI Director telling me "Expert or GTFO"

    I get out of work in an hour and have just been refreshing this for the past 2 hours waiting to go home and FINALLY play through all of No Mercy from start to finish on the 360.

    There better be 3 of you who are up for this at that point, because this has been the longest work night of my LIFE.

    Same here, I've been slapping F5 pretty regularly on this page. Just one more hour and I can go home and hopefully play with my buddy. If he's not on than I'll grab 3 of you guys and we'll do this shit.

    Something weird is up with XBox Live via web browser. I just went in to add some of you people and see if I've been accepted to PA L4D and I can't find the "Sign in" link anywhere.

    No I beat death toll on expert and was the only one to survive on the boat and got none of: Zombiecidal Maniac, whatever the death toll thing is, or what're you trying to prove?


    Also we just beat dead air on expert. Only one campaign left to the unsatiable bloodlust of me, flippy, littleboots, and costanza.

    That's weird, cause I thought it was still supposed to give you the achievement if you beat it even if you were dead.

    Nope, I didn't get it. I think you actually have to survive the campaign to get the achievement, even if you teamates do.

    Playing with some friends on Death Toll.
    Right at the finale, I try and avoid the Tank by jumping down to the bottom floor of the house - the tank backhands me aaaaaaall the way back over the hill as I jumped down.

    EDIT: Hell, I don't think it's a spoiler, but I'll play safe.

    GLORIOUS REPORT FROM BATTLE,




    We raped dead air even though the finale took a gagillion hours do to the lame ass AI director seriously FUCK YOU!


    We tried to defend every fricken defensible spot on the map but it came down to just getting in th the tiny respawn closet and holding down the trigger until they all died. Then kiting the tanks. It took many a brave soldiers life but we destroyed the zombie hordes. Now all that stands in our way from complete expert victory is blood harvest.

    Holy the shit. this game is fucking incredible. First time playing with actual humans beings tonight, and it was great - other than the Tanks did not like me. Or they did like me. With their fists. Death is so painful though, what with losing the auto shotgun. I'd rather use the pistol than the pump most of the time. The pump is just too dam slow.

    We made it near to the end of the third stage of dead air - not sure what difficulty, then ran into about 4 smokers followed by a tank. Fucking director.

    So I tried the demo on XBox Live and didn't really dig it. The graphics were grainy, aiming was weird, and I couldn't ever figure out where to go because everything looked the same. Is this a case of a bad demo, or is this game just not for me? It was just me and one other guy.

    Yeah they pulled it.

    It seems like a strange thing to do, it may have pulled in a part of the nerd community who knew the game was coming. It seems like it would isolate the more casual gamers though.

    The paths are extremely linear.

    In the demo there were three paths that lead to the same outside courtyard, and then it became linear again. I followed each of the paths back to where I started before I found the right way to go again.

    I sense friends weren't involved in your play through. Because with friends involved, no one gives a shit and its amazing and people are like "whoa omg wtf" and "holy shit"

    I think it's great that you have to find the path on your own. Makes it feel much like a survival game.

    Again, it was just me and one other dude (spontaneous gaming session when we see the demo on XBox Live). I just don't like running around looking for zombies so I know the way I'm going is the "right" way. It didn't feel like a survival game, it felt like a find-the-end-of-the-level game.

    I never had any problems trying to find my way through both levels. The only non-linear parts of the first level is how you choose to enter the apartment (door or skylight) and whether or not you go off the beaten path and explore that warehouse for no reason. The second level is totally linear.

    Being the slowest (read: most torn up) on the run to the finish line is horrific. You see your friends pulling farther and farther away as the horde gets closer and closer. And then a Hunter ganks you.

    This game is so awesome.
