Seeing as I live in Norway, where games can be a tad more pricey than in the US... (Yeah, just slap on an extra ten bucks or so, why don'tcha? Grumble grumble...) Is it awsome enough to be worth all those Cornettos I could have bought instead?

It's 40 Euros on Steam. You missed the Christmas Sale, back then it was 28.50.

I'm new to Left 4 Dead. I got Left 4 Dead 2 for Christmas to play co-op with my friend. I must say I really love it. I like to startle the Witch for the lulz.

This thread suddenly took a turn for the extremely disturbing.

I do kinda feel sorry for the Witch, though. You just wanna hug her, but then she kinda rends you limb from limb.

I'd like to find a soundpack that replaces the sounds of the Witch with those of Rena. That'd probably make the game even scarier. Somehow.

Anyone who assigns themselves loads of character tropes is someone to be worried about.

Aw, surely I'm not the only one who sees the Witch as a woobie? She's just so... pathetic. sad

I played Left 4 Dead 2 with my brother and my friend, and it was fun as hell. When I wasn't getting stampeded by the Horde or savaged by Chargers, I was getting ridden by Jockeys or spat at by Spitters while I dodged Witches. I got killed or knocked down a million times, especially on the "get fuel for the car" level, but I always wanted to get back up and fight some more. That's a good game, right there.

Playing this game since Christmas. Mostly Survival.

I have never seen a game that has so many easy glitches that I start believing they're there on purpose.

It's still an awesome game, though.

Me and my friend just can't get past the damn Bridge. I almost made it to the helicopter, but a Charger or Tank stopped me and there was no one around to save me.

Forgive the incoming rant:

I'm beginning to develop an intense hatred for the Bot allies on Expert difficulty.

I'm on somewhere around my 75th try of getting through the Subway level on expert in Campaign mode with nothing but Bots as backup. Usually I die after the survivors run into the tank, he kills all the bots before dying to my molotov, and then I get jumped/tongued out of nowhere while looking for a respawn point.

Last night I managed to kill the tank with miraculously no Bot deaths. Most of us even had green health! We survived the Horde event (Francis and Zoey dropped down into red, due to the excellent Bot strategy of running directly into any Molotov fires they see), and made are way out of the adjoined building.

At this point I'm in red health, but all of my allies are alive so I figure I'll be all right if I take it nice and slow. Get into the street, dodge the witch by going around the truck, and then finally I can see the pawn shop right across the road. With victory so close I can taste it, I take a step forward...

And then Francis shoots at a zombie behind a car, setting off the car alarm. Suddenly there are 85 zombies between me and the safe house. I fend them off as best I can with no way to just run through, going down in the process due to an unlucky hit. With Bill and that bastard Francis dead, Zoey manages to revive me before biting it herself. I finish off the zombies and then almost immediately hear the horde music starting up, so I make a run for it...

And a smoker grabs me as I'm walking through the Pawn shop door.

Needless to say, Louis went on a murder spree the next time we popped up in the Safe House. =/

Dude, that sucks. Stupid bots keep getting on the way / getting killed.

Maybe we could team up the next time.

You might be confusing me with someone else. :) I don't play online *too often*, unless its with a few specific people. I've actually let my Live account lapse a few months ago.

Mainly trying to beat it solo on Expert just to say I did it, but... I'm not sure if it's worth my sanity at this point.

Thanks for the offer, though. If I do start playing it online again, I will take you up on that. =)
