Im doing a review for Boba for l4d

i need to know what you guys like and dislike about the game (as a whole, multiplayer and singleplayer)

stay on topic please

[Dominator]

Don't like that you can't really set a preference on what infected you want to play as in Vs.  Should be an option to choose which will most likely give you if everyone doesn't want to play as that infect like say you die and you are waiting to spawn you can choose hunter or boomer, or while your waiting to spawn you should be able to play as a zombie just to keep you evolved like the humans.  Also I fucking get annoyed when you finaly are about to get someone or attacking someone as the infected that you become the tank.  Even though being the tank is cool they need to set the timing up better.

Campaign mode is alright but I get pretty board of it since all you do is run around a shot things.  The game is usually always intense and you don't really have any down time.  After playing it for a couple of hours you do actually feel tired or drained by it not like TF2 when you can fuck around sometimes or relax and watch T.V while you build your sentry.  Zoey needs less clothing, preferably none and the others are pretty nice characters but why does the hard ass have the name Francis?

I'm waiting for new maps to come out especially since there's only two maps for VS and that's my favorite part about the game not to mention new weapons and different infected bosses like a screamer or chameleon would be cool.

All in all the game is pretty good but doesn't really click to well with me, I'll play the game but I prefer TF2 over it as long as there are no pyros......

Likes: Co-op play with your best bros
Dislikes: Retard teammates

[Stobbin]

I absolutely hate the way servers are chosen.  The server browser only works because its hard coded into the Source engine.  If you set up a lobby with certain settings they can be overridden by the next server you get forced to after the stage ends.  

The AI is fucking retarded.  Don't rely on your fellow survivors for ANYTHING unless they're controlled by 3 of your friends.  AI no use bombs.  AI no use propane tanks. AI no use miniguns.  AI no smart.

Achievements:  Half of them are incredibly easy.  The other half are nearly impossible.  I say this because you have to be connected to the same server for all the stages of a campaign.  This is unlikely because the server will always have a better connection than you.  For example:  Alfalfa whooped a campaign with me (three times), and he would miss about 30 seconds of each stage because of the reconnect time.  This caused him to get zero achievements, while I got an assload.  We then tried it two more times and nothing.  It just aint fair.

I can't even imagine having this game on a console.  It seriously feels like a $50 mod.  Custom maps, files, sounds and plugins are the only thing that will keep this game alive.  Eventually...  when Valve releases the SDK...  in December...  2011...

I do like nearly everything else about the game.

Yea server selection is terrible because what are they gonna do when custom files come out that can be downloaded?  People would get annoyed trying to find a server without that shit not to mention its annoying enough to try to find a server now, gay.

As a whole its a fun game if all youre looking for is to shoot shit. The guns are pretty well balanced so you dont find everyone choosing the same gun on the same campaign. The random spawning gives a different feel for each campaign the first couple times you play it. after a while tho it gets predictable. the music is a dead giveaway of some of the events. (no pun intended) single player is fun, but the AI can be really retarded. there will be times where one of them will be standing right next to you when a hunter is on top of you and theyre shooting the zombies all around you instead of getting the hunter off. so if youre going to play single player then play co-op with your buddies.

playing as the infected in multiplayer is the best part of the game. at least until youre forced to play smoker 5 times in a row. they should add a better system to join servers. something like TF2 would be great. itd be nice if theyd release new maps for MP. or at least let us play on all 4 campaigns. maybe a new gameplay type where theres no safe house and its time based or something like that. or where you have to push a cart that yodels and the tank skin is bob barker.

[DickTater]

the game is awesome...
problems:
  that fucking server browser bs
  fucktard AI
  special infected spawn choosing
  special infected spawn time is wayyyy toooo lonnggggg
  same few maps over and over and over and over..... and over.............. AND FUCKING OVER
  needs som1 who made it to actually start putting out patches... which wuld rock...
awesomeness:
  its a fucking griefing game... ask undakada
  its fun to blow arms and legs off little peon zombies
  its fun to grief?
  annnnd... OH.. its fun to find all the pills or bombs or watever and use them all before your teammates arrive.. but that goes with the griefing

[Luko]

Needs the 2 next campaigns.
5 GUNS?! FUCK SALT, I need Count-Strike variety.
I think everytime you suckerpunch a zombie in the back it should kill them, not just half the time.
(Previously mentioned) The AI sucks big floppy donkey dick and so do most teammates.
The person with the most points should always get to be the tank first, not just as the survivors
"get to dee choppaa" swa swa swa swa swa swa swa.

It's a solid multi-player/co-op game, but if you only focus on your single objective, there's
not too much to complain about. (insert contradictory/hypocritical statement here for others to argue about)

Pros:
+Wonderful game mechanics for cooperative play.  No 1 player can carry a team, everybody has to work together.
+VS mode only adds to the cooperative play.  Coordinated ganks are the key to infected victory, whereas covering allies is needed for survivors.
+The music, lightning and general feel of the game are great at drawing you in.  It feels like you're in a zombie movie, always running from the horde or
          grouping up in a room to heal your wounds with scrounged up medical supplies.
Cons:
-Limited maps get old, even with the A.I. Director.
-Seriously, melee whores don't deserve to play versus.
-It takes 4 good players to win, but only 1 jackass to screw it up for everybody.

in December... 2011...

Let's make that December 21, 2012 and we'll call it even.

[Kelreth]

I really wish it supported directx 8.1, that way i could get better fps and not shoot my teammates so much on accident because my compy hates swarms

other than that its pretty good

[omfgcows]

i only play it on my 360 if i have atleast 1 friend on l4d already
getting into a random matchmade game is like peeing in a sea of piss

[Kenyan Bee Thief]

You probably should make it clear what system you're reviewing it for.

TF2 is a great PC game, and a great 360 turd.

[StaFForD]

well since our server is for PC, and we are all on PCs, i figured it would be obvious


of course in my review i will be stating that this was on the PC version
