I thought it'd be nice if I could know who I can play with from SpA in Left 4 Dead.

VOTE AGAIN. DO IT.

Retail or Steam will be a matter of prices and if VALVe will be sold to EA or something.

But deffo on a pc.

Btw. you should make it possible to do more than one vote.

Gabe has said that he's happy with Valve being independent. So no EA takeover, yet.

NO, ONE VOTE PER PERSON.

OK, fine. I've allowed you to change your vote.

I can give you 1337 reasons for buying this.

Reason 1: Feel like having a piss? Want to make a sandwich to fill that stomach of yours? Don't want to get up and leave Left 4 Dead because you're in the middle of a zombie horde? Well, don't worry. You can up and leave at any time and the AI will take over for you, letting you piss out all that urine or make that sandwich with your urine-drenched hands.

A promise it doesn't suck. Valve have maintained a good record with releasing great games.

Hey, your the Medic that healed me in Arena today and I was the rambling, insane Soldier being healed. Maybe you'll heal me in Left 4 Dead when I'm rambling there?

I just played this game at the GC and I first was quite sceptical about how the game would play, but after actually have been playing it, I love it.

So I think I'm going to buy it, dunno if I will do it retail or via steam...

I've had my share of spending 50 euros on a game you thought was goin to be cool to host and play it till your eyes bleed, but in fact it sucked arse big time.
I'm not gonna buy a multiplayer game more expensive then 20 euros unless I know for sure we're gonna host it and that it's cool.
The whole zombie thing is pretty hard to make a good game with. The only ones who succeeded in my eyes are resident evil and FEAR. They're both single player games (the FEAR multiplayer was an epic fail lads, don't wanna talk about that). I have strong doubts to think that l4d will be one of them.
My advise to you is donate some of your precious money to SpA. We'll have our new server earlier that way. That means that we will have room for a complete other game soon. That means we can launch a new game server as soon as we find something that we think is worth hosting. When we finally set our minds to that, and some of us have bought the game, you could buy the same game.

Have you even seen the movies or ead the previews Bucky?! L4D is going to kick some major zombie ass unless they're going to change the gameplay dramatically. I don't know if the game is actually (private) hostable, since 4-8 players per game is the maximum.
You'll probably get thrown into some random match unless you want to play with your friends.

Yeah, there's even a new lobby system! I may not donate to SpA, but I will certainly donate money to Valve for this brilliant game.

I played it at the GC in this nice fancy bus.

And I can tell you it is REALLY good. We had to wait like 3 times 10 minutes for the previous group but the 10 minutes we got felt like merely 1 minute. It was really intense and this AI thingie which controls the zombie flow really works. It was a really tense experiance.

And apart from this being coöp, it will also feature single player gameplay -> you play the maps alone rather then in coop.

Any way I was really sceptical about it at first and thought that shooting zombies really could not be 'fun' and was more like brainless shooting, but I think Valve really nailed it this time.

Oh, and FEAR didn't have any zombies. I'll gladly replace FEAR with Silent Hill, for you.

The only one I played was the shoddy PC port of Silent Hill 4. I only played for like 20 minutes and quit because of the most blurriest textures ever. I hear Silent Hill 2 is the scariest.
