Shit looks awesome, players can play as zombie or human. Being made by Valve, of course.

And now it's being made by Valve, which inevitably means it's being put on Steam.

It sounds good, but I don't like how some zombie mods quit because of L4D.

Example: H.E.A.D.H.U.M.P.E.D. You got to play as a headcrab and. . .do what they do. But no. L4D shut them down, or so I've heard. Other zombie-mod makers are feeling kidna depressed about it, apparently.

However, L4D owns, so all is forgiven.
"L4D2 promises to set a new benchmark for co-op games. . ." Like L4D promised to hand us new maps, survivors, and zombies? We've seen how that works.

I don't think Valve would shut down someone who is using their engine to make a game. Unless it was infringing on a copy right previously made.

What's the difference between that video and the one I linked Meckross?

I'm not saying they're shutting it down; I'm just saying the mod devs probably think, "They're making a game similar to mine, and since it belongs to Valve, and has their good name, there's no point in making my mod for all of the 3 people who will want to play it. Screw it, I can spend my time elsewhere."

Well that's their problem, they could've put more effort into it and had it sold on Steam like Gmod

. . .These people put a lot of hard work into their mods. They work hard on 'em; just because they didn't talk to Valve 'cause they had no interest in selling their mod, doesn't mean they deserve to be forced out of 90% of their player base.

Take EotA. If Blizzard was to release a map that is almost exactly like EotA, Yak might give up on this map; certainly, he'd lose a lot of potential players. Are you saying it's his fault that Bliz made the map?

Just beat the demo for the first time. Not bad, it was pretty intense in some moments. Overall, though, it felt kind of flat, except for one obviously pre-scripted moment. So, "The Director," while a good marketing term, is not really a stunning success in my book.

Admittedly, I was playing single player on normal, so perhaps multiplayer on a higher difficulty will cure what ails me. I definitely had fun though, and it has a lot of personality. It just didn't quite pull me in. Still excited for the full game, though.

Edit: Second time on Hard or whatever was more awesome, had to take down a witch even. Bill was like "OMG WITCH" and Louis was like "DURR IMA SHEWT MAH GUNS" and then she pounced on his bitchass and I had to save him.

Just do the subway level (second one I believe) and keep following the source of a child's crying, you'll find a fucking witch.

Our team completed the first level on expert on like our 3rd try. It was reheally hard, Hunters kill you in like 3 seconds if someone doesn't get them off of you.

I like it when your teammate doesn't give you the fucking pills when you fucking ask for them at 10 fucking health and then fucking shoots you after damn near all the zombies are down. But I'm not bitter.

yeah expert is kind of a bitch but we did it pretty easily the one time we tried. do you think the friendly fire damage is increased much on it?

i went from 80 to 6 from one stray shotgun blast once.

Yeah, you might want to ask Wog about that. Apparently I look like a zombie to him.
