Alright, so the point of this thread is to see if anyone has or is getting Left 4 Dead 2. If you haven't played the game before, you may not know this, but this game requires very good co-op skills. These co-op skills are almost impossible to find in a random game you join. If you are going to survive the zombie apocalypse, you're going to need friends...not strangers.
I can't tell you how many times over the weekend I wiped with a group because of no teamwork. In this game, if you have full health, and a health pack, you heal your teammate. You do this because you know that down the road, they would do the same for you. I did this over the weekend, yet there I was at the end of the level dying on the ground...someone picked me up, which was nice, but if you aren't healed you will bleed out. I watched as the jerk playing Ellis gallivanted around with full health and a health pack as I died. Lo' and behold, we didn't survive that round.
It's times like that where it becomes clearly evident that you need friends backing you up. So, is anyone picking up the game? This game would be a really nice game to boost with achievements, so I'm game. Let me know if you guys either have it or maybe will get it for Christmas.
You all know my gamertag, just shoot me a message when I'm on. If the fiance is in the room with me (she plays the computer while I'm on the TV) I may not be the most talkative, but I do have a headset on. It's just hard to have 2 conversations are once, especially when Reilly is constantly bugging me about whatever it is she's fighting in world of warcraft.
Anyways, there you go...who's game?
