There are a lot of things I could say about this game, but I'm not going to talk about the general gameply too much. Instead, I'd like to write about a few of the more memorable moments I had in the game. One thing I love about it is how heavily it empasizes team work. I was in a game with one of my friends, buzh3rd, and we had a really stupid guy join our game. He did a couple dumb things, like shooting teammates or throwing a moltov coctail in close quarters. Moltovs frequently make fire, and lots of it, so throwing one where there isn't a lot of room means that you're going to set yourself and your teammates on fire.
That wasn't the dumbest thing he did, though.
The dumbest thing he did was when we were in the subway after we had just fought off a wave of zombies. Down the hall, we could hear a little girl crying. In Left 4 Dead, that means a witch is near, one of the most deadly enemies in the game. The good thing is that they don't attack until disturbed. Well, he disturbed it, and not by throwing a pipe bomb or riddling it with assault rifle bullets, but by teasing it with a pistol. That not only did almost no damage to it, but made it attack us before we were ready to fight it. Fortunately, she only killed the idiot, after which time we kicked him from the game.
There were some great games, though, like the times I played in the same game as some of my other friends. Once, I got in a really good group on a random server, and we totally owned everything in our way, which was a ton of fun. Taking out a tank zombie with two teammates still living afterwards on Expert mode was a great experience, too. I swear I loaded that thing with about 25-40 shells of shot gun at point blank range before it died, not to mention my teammates fire. It was quite fun.
Overall, I love Left 4 Dead, and I can't wait to get the full game next week.
