- evilesttoast, on 11/19/2008, -1/+83I love pirating, but Valve is a company I couldn't bring myself to take from.
- veriix, on 11/19/2008, -0/+77...and the ability to do first grade math...
- Miche1987, on 11/19/2008, -4/+71No, you'd be defiant if you pirated this game.
- kcen, on 11/19/2008, -3/+53Purchased... This game is awesome. I would definitely recommend it to others. This is by far the best co-op campaign that I have played.
- ChrisDam7, on 11/19/2008, -0/+45"i downloaded a cracked version yesterday. it is a lot of fun, especially playing with friends."
Sorry bud, no offense but you do not deserve to play this game if you steal it. It is totally worth 50 bucks. Give respect. - jeevesatvic, on 11/19/2008, -11/+55Now if only I had four friends...
- AmnesiacJack, on 11/19/2008, -0/+40Might be the best co-op game I've ever played. Me and some friends started playing it around 8pm last night and didn't stop till we beat the first movie at 4am. Most of us had school or work in the morning but once you start playing with a good group of friends it becomes hard to put the game down, haven't had so much fun or laughed so hard since the GoldenEye days on the N64.
I suggest any one who likes FPS go out and get this game, get your friends to get it. You won't be disappointed.
PS If you do get it you have to play it on Expert. Any other difficulty is a joke and won't give you the sense of doom that you need to really enjoy this game. - thomashallock, on 11/19/2008, -1/+38Four people died after reading a review on Ars? oh.... it's a game title.

- craighoxton, on 11/19/2008, -0/+32That's 5 years' worth of games right there
- cptmichael101st, on 11/19/2008, -4/+35it's better on pc. i promise.
- Chahrlie5, on 11/19/2008, -0/+27Been playing it since the demo, can't stop playing.
THe team work, the atmosphere, everything, it's just so well thought out. It's like playing through a zombie movie. - djfreex, on 11/19/2008, -0/+26As a PC Gamer at heart, I feel privilleged to be able to play games of companies like Valve, Relic and Blizzard. Especially after seeing EA's latest travesty: Need for Speed-Undercover. When most of other developers focused on 360 as the primary development environment, canceled
(even worse ported and not optimized) PC versions, blamed every PC gamer for being a pirate and shamefully renounced PC gaming as dead; Valve went the other way: revolutionized digital distribution with Steam, published instant gaming classics that could be played for years (HL, TF2 etc), single single-handedly started episodic gaming, selling all back catalog of a game company (ID Pack, Valve Pack) at a great price. As a proud of owner of Valve Pack, I salute your accomplishments. PC will never die.... - rodon, on 11/19/2008, -0/+24If you like it so much, give Valve their due.
- Spire3660, on 11/19/2008, -0/+23They also offer a 4 pack of L4D licenses for $150. Me and my 3 friends all chipped in.
- Pandatot, on 11/19/2008, -1/+23I would recommend trying to form a coherent thought before posting next time.
- MightyLime, on 11/19/2008, -4/+26Valve have done it again!
- seanthebond, on 11/19/2008, -0/+21I recommend purchasing it for the online play.
- Jeepinator, on 11/19/2008, -0/+20Advanced still delivers. Expert can just be ridiculous. I can't beat the finale on No Mercy. I haven't tried the others. Oh by the way, semi auto shotgun is the best weapon in the game easily.
- thaddeusj, on 11/19/2008, -2/+22How could reviews kill people?
- plaguepony, on 11/19/2008, -0/+19I was having so much fun defending the House at the end of Blood Harvest. Its all about the childrens' room, with auto shotgun at the window, and M16s at the door. Then I realized that it was 2 AM, I had work in 6 hours, and still had not eaten dinner.
- Jezex, on 11/19/2008, -3/+22I've read loads of reviews and seen the trailers, this is definately one of my most anticipated games this year
- krets, on 11/19/2008, -4/+22Would you defiantly recommend it?
- Dauntless1, on 11/19/2008, -1/+19It's valve. They traditionally focus more on gameplay than graphics. Goes to show you don't have to have state of the art graphics to make an awesome game.
- FurtThePirate, on 11/19/2008, -15/+33I'm defiantly buying this once I get paid.
- inactive, on 11/19/2008, -0/+17You just cant beat cracking a zombie skull and shooting it in the face while stunned. You just cant.
Awesome game, I foresee my TF2 will be sitting on the shelf for a while - starslinger72, on 11/19/2008, -3/+20sadly a controller will ironically never give you the control that a mouse and keyboard will in any shooter.
- Modiga, on 11/19/2008, -0/+16Speaking of VALVe's other games. It's Half-Life's 10th anniversary today and VALVe are selling the original Half-Life for $0.98. If you haven't got it already, you should definitely buy it now!
- lolupissed, on 11/19/2008, -1/+17Played last night, the endings of each campaign are epic (Blood Harvest you have to stay alive for 10 ***** minutes, with low amounts of health packs as tanks, hunters, and like 1000s of zombies swarm this little farmhouse your stuck in). Its ridiculously fun.
- starslinger72, on 11/19/2008, -5/+20*has
- Jektal, on 11/19/2008, -1/+16Dugg for lonely desperation.
- j3ff86, on 11/19/2008, -0/+15If you like it, buy it, so Valve can make more great games in the future.
- Hero0fTime, on 11/19/2008, -1/+16This game has more story and character than anything Hollywood is churning out now.
Weird thing is... Value doesn't provide backstory. It's all implied, but so effective. I don't know how they do it. - SuperVepr308, on 11/19/2008, -0/+14Played it all last night. If you like zombie flicks or survival games you owe it to yourself to pick this one up. Valve continues to rock.
- holyskeleton, on 11/19/2008, -1/+15If there are 3 people considering buying the 4 pack I can take the 4th one and join you online.
- imakecomments, on 11/19/2008, -1/+15http://www.d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y.com/
- ch4os1337, on 11/19/2008, -0/+13You have to play it on steam, and you can host a game from within L4D. You don't need to make a dedicated server.
- Snoosy, on 11/19/2008, -3/+16Anyone who takes a controller over a keyboard + mouse for a FPS does not know how to properly use a keyboard and mouse.
- Tbyrd073, on 11/19/2008, -1/+14On Blood Harvest we stayed alive last night by cowering with our automatic weapons in the closets and blasting ***** as it came into the room. Two crouched in front and two standing behind with a constant stream of metal going through the door. 2 of us survived. The rescue arrived as me and another guy went downstairs to grab more ammo the other two got trapped by the end swarm. We lost so many good people. /cry
OK Time to kick more ass when I get done with work. On another side note I thought the most pain in the ass one is the Airport level and staying alive while guarding the plane on Expert as you're being swarmed. - j3ff86, on 11/19/2008, -0/+12But you Linux users seem to insist that Steam works just fine in Linux. Which is it?

- SeePage87, on 11/19/2008, -0/+11Thanks a lot dude. I was going to go for the 4 for $150 with some buddies, but this is too much to pass up.
- henismightier, on 11/19/2008, -4/+14Cool a bunch of stuff most of us already have + Left 4 Dead. What a deal!
- Stupidumb, on 11/19/2008, -1/+11YOU'RE RETARDED
- dogearedboy, on 11/19/2008, -1/+11Sounds like the game I've been waiting for my whole life. Damn.
- quidpro, on 11/19/2008, -0/+9That is a cool deal for someone that has none of those games.
- bundwallah, on 11/19/2008, -0/+9How does multiplayer work? Do you have to logon to steam or can I host a game for my friends to connect to??
- lordtyros, on 11/19/2008, -2/+10Semi auto shotgun is for console gamers. Rifle is godly.
