I agree Dave, plus COD:WaW actually has a good single player unlike Left4Dead and the game doesn't get repetitive like Left4Dead. Now let's put our flame suits on and watch all the fanboys shun us t0 hell. lol

Sorry I can't flame you since I've never played World at War (I know I feel bad for me too), but I had to make you feel like you got a little flame. LOL

With all due respect and sugar on top. WOW is a lukewarm COD4 rip, L4D owns....especially your moms.

Oh snapz!

Hmm haven't played COD:WAW but i must agree that left 4 dead is pretty overated. I do like the game and own it, got it in the valve pack when it was on sale. But there's only so much time you can spent unloading clips into zombies before it looses its fun. I haven't really tried out the multiplayer yet though as i haven't had time.

@Obie

How could you even compare World Of Warcraft to Call of Duty? I don't see your logic....

If L4D wasn't a Valve game, you'd all think it was awesome.

It just seems overrated in comparison to how good their other recent stuff is.

j.howlett as any Ninja (Or Nonja) might tell before he kills you Zombie Dinosaurs are more likely to eat the Nazi.

Now that Surfing Nazis on Giant Radioactive Sea Turtles you have to pay attention to those.Thank you Canada Army and O.N.U Soldiers for keeping our bays safe.

The problem I had with L4D is that it breaks an important rule of every Valve game:

Have always an amazing level design.

In L4D Dead Toll and Blood Harvest are pretty much the same and in a game with only 4 Campaigns you would think they would have been more creative. I mean Dead Air was awesome and is my favorite Campaign, No mercy was a good intro level for rookies, Dead Toll stand off was quite original but Blood harvest feels like an extend of Dead Toll but without the cool final Standoff.

The other thing that annoyed me was the fact you couldn’t play as a Zombie in single player unless it was in the split screen middle also the fact thy didn’t released maps especially designed for Versus mode.

Still is a good game if you can stand playing online all the time and is one of those games is great but just in PC. If you are stuck with the Xbox version you might as well forget it, matchmaking again is as good as shooting yourself in the foot but Valve still shows some mercy and intelligence by letting you join at any time but most of the time in versus the match was already decided or you arrive too late but still it makes the game better and it saves the normal online mode, if it wasn’t for that L4D would be unplayable.

(Did you hear that all you people making games for the Xbox live? joining at any time is possible you lazy devs)

Not to mention that only a few people in xlive knows what Co-operation means, I swear I was in a match where some d*che with a MLG gamertag shoot me for about 5 minutes before realizing there was no Friendly Fire.

@Haggard
That's actually what I disliked about L4D. It's too... Valve-ey. It has that too fast/floating gun/no recoil feel to it. W@W has more weight to it. Maybe L4D is supposed to be really arcadey and it just didn't click with me, but the feeling was the same as I got from HL2, so I think it's just a Valve thing.

If Modern Warfare 2 has a zombie mode, that will be about perfect for me.

Yup World at War is totally a better game, with it's zero recognition from the gaming press at the end of the year awards. A real innovator that one.

L4D must be pretty shit if the list of it's pros consists entirely of "COD:W@W didn't get a pile of awards." It's like you completely forgot "There's an F in the title." and "Was released on a day ending in Y." If you want to say it's good, you can do a hell of a lot better than that.

Just for the whole "floating gun" argument at L4D, I don't understand. You can look down and see your whole body in L4D, in W@W you cannot.

your last comment makes no sense because if Left 4 Dead did not the name valve on it, nobody probably would have played it either...
oh yeah not that many people bought the game anyway...

@obie
1. It's a Skrull
2. I see you're taking this personally and you still can't come up with anything good about L4D. Tell Gabe I say hi.

@Ihavepants
It's just the way it moves around. I don't like games that over do it like Jericho did, but L4D and other Valve games are the other end of the spectrum. Feels too smooth for the speed the character moves. Just personal preference, I suppose.

Hmm I guess it depends on what character you're moving. It it's a COD game you can expect them to feel more weighty as they're soldiers carrying a whole load of poop around. In left4dead it's a bunch of people running away from zombies wearing regular day clothes.

Alright, honestly, you can't say anything about Left 4 Dead unless A) You have played with friends, or B) You have played Versus. Especially the friends part, that's what makes the game great.

I have that game but I never opened it. I'm still playing Dead space, only 1 more achievement before I finish it 100%.Oh what the hell for Nazi Zombie sI might as well play it today or tomorrow, I’m still stuck with lots of work.

The comics are pretty awesome too and the gameplay is excellent but I feel most of the story is taken from movies, games and comics partially Silent Hill also what's up with the scientology references?

***SPOILER***


It seems in the future scientologist will dominate the space and fight Xenu which was apparently created by Men.I better join scientology I can’t wait to fight Aliens in Space! Phew Phew.

I would like to ask a question I got the LE with a week of DOuble EXP or something I guess I'm late to use it.

But here is a quick rant:

Why the f*ck they included a canteen that can't be used as a water container? Well at least the tin is nice.

They did and they have, but you're arguing about a game released in 2007. They HAVE had updates it just doesn't need them anymore. And I'll go back to saying the support W@W is giving is the same that COD4 did, so don't say it's better.

This game was not so great for playing the single mode. It have dissapointing me that most game only have good online or good single players mode. I am hope that killzone 2 can have both of them in one packaging. This is prefer to me than just one or the other. COD WAW have good multiplayer game but a bad single player and is the same for gears of war 2. I think Halo 3 & COD MW is two that get both of the done right. MGS 4 have a great campaign but bad multiplayer. I am hoping killzone 2 & the new residents evils both have good all around game.

well considering killzone 2 has no CO-OP AT ALL, it already is getting off on a bad start compared to the offerings of similar games such as cod.
but the single player, bot modes, and online looks great in killzone 2.

They should have a patch for LIVE because of players glitching and the respawn sucks. You could respawn 20 feet from your enemy and get pwned right away
