Not sure about on the 360 but I think most of the current Left 4 Dead players will be moving to Left 4 Dead 2 when it comes out. So i would say no.  It is a fun game but you really need to play with other people.

go ahead, the game is still really fun.

Dude, L4D came out last year. It is only a year old. That is why people are up in arms about L4D2.

If you could choose between versions, the PC is much more fun (and probably worth it), I probably wouldn't bother on the 360 since you've got a sequel coming so soon.

If your pc can run it you should get it on steam cause it's on sale for $15 right now

Well, considering the divide in the community caused by L4D2, I would guess a significant number of ppl will not make the switch.

2007 was the years of the Orange Box. If your going to get any Valve game your better of getting the PC version.

Why not just wait for L4D2? Play other games until then. It will most likely be just a kind of upgraded version of L4D.

I have a friend who bought it yesterday, and he seems happy about it, so yeah i guess.

L4D2 would be a better purchase.  It's basically L4D1 with more content and balancing fixes, plus a fresh community playing the game for the first time instead of a bunch of exploiters and well-practiced pub-stompers.  Despite Valve's assurances, L4D2 will be superior to L4D1 and will effectively replace it.

Left 4 Dead was a 2008 game.
 
edit. sorry didnt realise this had already been mentioned.

"  Still a year is a pretty long time in game releases. "

if you are a pc gamer, pick l4d up for 25 bucks on steam. A lot of people will play it. Just like CS and CS:S, people play both games. 

The main problem with the PC version of left for dead is hosts can kick you mid game for doing better than them. As I understand it, only your own teammates can kick mid match in the xbox version

"  The fall of 2007 was chock full of games, and Left 4 Dead was one that I missed out on.  I see it on Major Nelson's top Xbox live activity list every week, so I know the community is still active. The news of the new campaign, Crash Course, has gotten my attention, as one of the few complaints against this game was the shortage of content. I'm pretty sure I can pick this up used for $25 on 360, but my question is, should I? I know the sequel is coming out soon, but that's not a huge concern.  Thanks for the input in advance. "

This came out last year....

 
You're so late,it came out like a year ago.
 
 
Anyway,no you should not buy it 2 years later.Now it costs around 40-60 $

If you can get it cheap, I'd definitely do it.
