Post 3
It actually looks like a lot of fun, co-op campaign with up to 4 players.
Post 4

The decision is easy... If it's 3rd person; 360. If it's 1st person; PC.
I'm honestly not sure which it is though. :P

Post 12
Seems fun so far, but it'd be nice to get a game hosted in Australia so I dont' get kicked.
Post 13

Post 20
preloading now. Thank fhuck for internode steam servers + steamwatch.
Post 21
Added the GU Community ID to the GU L4D server so if you are a GU Steam Community member the server will show up at the bottom of the screen making it easy to join.
Post 22
Preloaded! The demo was sweet, can't wait for the real thing.
Post 23
Tried it 4 a while, not sure. More of a css zobmbie game with much better graphics I thought.
Time will tell.
Post 24
Preloaded as well, been playing the demo all weekend,
:)
Post 25
Played a game with Howie, Minorci and Eater the other arvo.
There were quite a few "zomg a metric ****load of zombies wheres my BOOMSTICK" moments.
It looks good for lans, in the same way Postal 2 was fun in single player. You can play it just for the fun of killing shit mindlessly.
Post 26
Not enough Aussie servers. :(
Post 27
Just upgraded the GU server to full version (not demo).
Post 28
OMG WIN

Post 29
Server going OK harb?
Post 30

Post 31
Blah. This game isn't a pushover.
Post 32
Tell me now, is it worth getting? Is it like CSS?! :D
Post 33
it's exactly like css, except with zombies, and the bit where it's absolutely and completely different to css.
which is why it's actually an interesting game.

Post 41
Just had a game with people from smexy. bill, porcupine, loch. Never a bigger bunch of cockfaces.
It's like a pug groups in wow all over again.
Post 42
Server admins have rcon and can kick any wanker or even kick non-GU-ers to make way for a confirmed GU-er.
Post 43
Playing on the GU server if anyone wants to join in.
Post 44
Love the game so far but need a little help in terms of the server browsing/finding games.
Every time I get a lobby going with friends and we try to find a server the game either tells us it can't find a dedicated server or it plonks us in a US server with unplayable pings.
Is there a way to make sure the lobby only searches for Australian servers?
Also, I hope whoever's idea it was at Valve to make the server browser only accessable from a console command gets fired. Then hit by a bus.
Post 45
open console 'openserverbrowser' then find an empty server.
But yeah server finding sucks.
Post 46
The GU server pops up at the bottom when you are a member of the GU Steam Community right?
Post 47
Yes Dan.
Post 48
Well, then at least I'M taking care of you eh?! ;)
Post 49
This is DEFINATELY going to be hosted at DGA.
Post 50
Tired of a whole bunch of arsehats telling me how to play the game, as well as outlining 'weaknesses' and telling me that the hunting rifle cannot kill several zombies at once is a load of shit.

Post 51
I've been told the hunting rifle has the lowest dps out of the weapons, though that would make sense because it has the longest range.
L4D is so much goddamn fun when playing with mates, but can be so goddamn frustrating playing with random spastics on pub.
Post 52
Shotgun
- rapid fire
- wide spread
- single chest shot zombie kill
- no range accuracy
- no penetration
- Horizontal zombie slaying
Rifle
- Rapid fire
- several chest shots zombie kill
- narrow radius fire
- some range accuracy
- penetration
- all over the place zombie slaying
Hunting Rifle
- low rate of fire
- single chest shot zombie kill
- straight line fire
- 100% accurate when not dancing like a monkey
- High penetration
- right in front of you and whatever else is behind them zombie slaying
Post 53

Post 68
They didn't; they're offline due to stability issues.
Post 69
Oh any ideas y there unstable all i do allday is make Emu drivers and tweaks and mods/Skins
Post 70
Memory is failing under the load of the servers. As it is the server resets about once a day still, but always comes back online.
We wont have the servers back up until OD can get the cash to buy replacement memory and then get it into the box.
Post 71
i think the game makers should enable server to run on CUDA all on a GPU and on the CPU
