I saw a preview in a recent PCGamer edition, and it caught my eye. It looks like a more serious version of L4D with more guns, more zombie (human clone experiments) variations, and a storyline. It's only £11 if you pre-order from Steam, I was thinking if enough of you (it's 6 player co-op) thought this was interesting we could give it a go.

It's out in just over two weeks. I particularly like the focus on mobility over the way you are forced to camp in L4D. It seems you can interact with the environment more, welding shut doors and creating killing zones to funnel the zombies down. There is a high res preview on their website, which looks very nice.

Noticed that, looks quite good, I'll have a look at the article again, I sort of flicked through it.

Hmm looks promising, though having two zombie survival games is slightly OTT so hopefully it differs alot

When it comes to surviving zombie attacks, nothing is over the top.



We should ALL have one of these in our homes.

Could be good, hopefully we will get a demo so we can get a taster for the game play, and i can see it being quite good as we often hav more than 4 of us who want to play l4d

That was my question as well, but lets put it into perspective, thats four more shots than you will have.

[7@rg37]

1 to shot for yourself and 3 people u always hated

[Darkeagle]

Well if you did it in that order, then your fucked

[Bloo]

A shotgun is a bit excessive for that, one would use a pistol for that kind of thing.

[Vicious Horizon]

Shotgun's classier.

RAWR British soldiers. Hopefully this won't turn out like Hellgate: London.

[Vicious Horizon]
