The Giant Bomb Team Suck at L4D...

Just watched the footage of the GB team playing the highly anticipated Left 4 Dead on Versus Mode, where the Survivors must fight as normal to the many safe rooms, with the twist being that the 'boss'-zombies are controlled by other human players. In Versus, the damage is about equal to playing the Campaign on 'Normal'.

I watched the video and I thought they played alright but obviously they're not of our calibre now =P.

"I watched the video and I thought they played alright but obviously they're not of our calibre now =P."

I have to admit they made the textbook error of splitting apart and straying too far away from each other at times. The absolute key to success in L4D from my experience is never ever split up, always stick together even if that means waiting on someone for a minute or two.

That and the 360 version of the game looks like it plays a lot more "clunky" than the PC version. With the flick of your wrist on the PC version you can do a complete 360 degree turn or snap the crosshair at some fast moving incoming zombies. On the 360 it seemed a little slow and awkward. But that could of been down to it being the first time some of the GiantBomb crew have played the 360 version or any version of the game.

What you expect? no offense to those guys but they aint that good at anything really >_> Ok thats a little harsh

Expert is fun, but hard. all the other difficulties are too easy IMO

Clubsandwich? What are you talking about? Lmao, Tom was talking about me and him playing L4D... last time I checked you weren't there! 

"Oh yeah Hamz, the game looks a million times better on PC but I'm getting it for 360 all the same. Hardly anyone has a mic on PC, all my mates are on 360 and there's a button that makes you do a perfect 180 turn if you need to. Personnaly, I quite like controllers - they're no way near as good as a mouse fo aiming, but they're a hell of a lot better for movement."

Well...all i know is, is that i've always prefered PC shooters due to the keyboard and mouse, plus closer intimate vision. Of the very few online games i've played, or tried to play, on the PC, no one had mic's...thats a good thing personally, because it would get annoying and take away from the atmosphere for me, besides they give you plenty commands and responses in the first place.

I guess they sucked a little. I think the worst part is how they completely ignored the melee button. But does it really matter? They're still awesome.
I played the demo on Expert with a buddy. I just started laughing at the amounts of zombies we had to endure... but we got through it.

I've gotta say that, watching the video, I was impressed with the turn sensitivity and how fast it was compared to most other shooters on 360.  That really got me giggly.

The first thing I noticed was that they were playing on easy/normal mode because they were getting hit and they were not dying right away.

My first play through on the full game will be on expert.
