This game is being ruined by the horrible lobby system and people hosting games locally with inadequate net connections. I sometimes need to join 10+ matches to find one that is not a lag fest.

On Steam or XBL?

That is the question.

Steam. It is clear they developed a pc game with 360 features. Bad Valve, bad.

Can't say I've had much problem with the lobby system, but that might be because I'm signed up to a few Steam community groups that host a number of L4D servers.

I had connection issues in the demo, but it's been totally smooth for me in the retail version.

Smoker and Hunter are game over material. Tied up, and pounced on... That leaves 2 people left to get vomited on, in order to really get the heart going...

This can be a good thing.

Oh, context.

Jesus, is your whole gimmick now adding a comment about whether people actually play the game in the article anymore?! Didn't you just say this about Street Fighter also? PLEASE TELL US WHAT WE SHOULD BE PLAYING.

Yes...daily, with whatever free time I have. You can hate on the game all you want, but to me it's remarkable.

It's obviously an absurd comment, it's not meant to be taken seriously. Let's lighten up a bit!

I'm suprised All 4 Dead is so high. That's my proudest achievement bounced a cop car around an alley and instantly incapped all four survivors... it was great

Lamb 2 Slaughter is 0 which doesn't surprise me since the achievement is broken. :P

I actually have it but it doesn't show up on the Steam website, only in-game. I have that problem with a few Portal achievements as well.

I got the Man vs Tank achievement yesterday. Big guy got stuck behind a van so I unloaded 30 shotgun shells into his face.

Some may think that it's cheap the way I got it, but I figure it was just the director making amends for the 5 times the tank punched me off the roof of the hospital when I'M 3 FEET AWAY FROM THE %^&$%& HELICOPTER.

i've been roped away from INSIDE the helichopper by smokers on no less than 3 occasions. One time I survived only to have everyone else killed by a tank

that's how I got my Drag and Drop. Get down next to the helipad to grab guys as the door closes, or just keep an eye out for smokers camping there (me).

A testament at how ridiculously ineffective the smoker is. The fact that you can melee his tongue, shoot the smoker for a brief second when ensnared, melee the victim, or shoot THROUGH an ensnared victim to pick off a smoker supports my claim he is by far the weakest infected boss, and highly situational to use.

This is true.

On the other hand, when he works, he really works. Hunters are very easy to shove off. In many ways all the infected bosses are situational.

Smoker is great if you can find spots that allow travel, but become inaccessible from below once players drop down from it. If you snag the last person before the entire team drops down and you're able to ensnare a victim, then it's GG unless they're smart enough to toss up a grenade.

The problem with the Smoker is that so many people jump out in front of a gun and attempt to pull someone.

Smoker = Spy

NOT an XBOX FAN AT ALL.

But i was wondering how good a present will this be for my brother in law?

Is it on top 3 right now?

He likes fable, Orange box, COD4, command and con. 3. GTA4. JRPG's He's all over the place with his taste in games.

If your brother-in-law plays online regularly and has some friends online to play with, then yes, L4D is great. It's even decent with 2 players via splitscreen, but single-player isn't nearly as good.

My brother got the Witch head shot one. We played the boat one and he jumped out of a building and looked down. The witch was right below him so he opened up on it with his Auto shotgun.

The LAMB 2 SLAUGHTER statistic can't be right. it says 0%, but I have that one. Or maybe just not enough people have it for it to register at .1%. That would make me feel special.

Yeah, Valve collect the stats for the PC version through Steam. I'm not sure they have any control over the 360 version's stats since Live is not their service.

Me and my friends were trying to play this game on expert and its freaking insane... We were all playing LAN so we could co-operate and play with no lag and we still couldnt do it. We were on the last level of No Mercy after countless hours (literally) of playing and we couldnt do it :(

I'm surprised no one has the 53,595 infected yet. I don't play THAT much and I'm at about 20,000 (on PC).
