Yooo Easy sucked at the beginning but he picked up quick; he took out a tank in no time. I was like :eek:

That's some scary shit! I can't wait to play with him again :D

bah! im just glad the server performed well for you. im looking at the stats right now and there are 4 players all have pings under 150 so that is pretty good.

this game is INSANE. i played single player (No Mercy) first time out to familiarize myself beyond the demo, but didn't get past the sewers because i had to go somewhere. but anyway i just wanted to go beyond the demo so i don't join a co-op game and not know wtf to do. i'd mess up everything :(

anyway idk why some say its short? that was just one campaign or w/e and i didn't even finish it and it was pretty long. very excited to play co-op

but i am scared lol

You should add my STEAM ID (triptex) to your friends list and we can play a few rounds.
will do. thanks :D

yeah idk why they didn't keep the demo activated. for at least a little longer. i mean i know the game is infinitely replayable, but we'd tire of the demo sooner or later.

or they could have at least kept it open for single player. just to keep people chomping at the bit

Did you get passed No Mercy on expert yet? Personally I need to learn the levels first before it's possible in a realistic time frame.

Best $50 I've ever spent.

I have had some time to play, but not alot. I like having only 5 weapons, it keeps things simple. I have beat every level (except the last which I have not played yet) on advanced. Expert is tough but fun. The demo was much easier than the game. Strange. If some of you guys are pretty good, I'd love to beat it on expert with you, as some people I play with are noobs.

i played No Mercy for the first time in co-op on "Normal" and found it challenging enough. i died just before i reached the helicopter, but i gunned down the "tank" from the ground before i died. it was epic

i did ok i guess for my first run through. when i felt lost i just stuck close to the guy who was doing the best job and seemed to know his way around. i like communicating with the flashlight, its pretty cool. and anyone with a mic does help, if they know how to use it. unfortunately one guy on the team was kind of a nub and kept breaking off from the rest and asking "what do i do now?

shoot the damn ZOMBIES lol

i'm going to play No Mercy on Normal more before i proceed further. then give the next Scenario a run through on single player before i go co-op

what great fun this game is

I don't mind the amount of weapons, if I had the change something I guess I would enable the iron sights on the assault rifle and pistols and add melee weapons like crowbars and axes. I don't know if you added my steam ID yet (triptex) but you should and we can try a few levels together to see if the dynamic is there for some Expert pwnage.

You're right, communication is key and not having dense teammates is also key. In my most recent round we had one player volunteer to cover our rear as we moved through the maps. That made things much easier knowing we were covered by an autoshotty. We did however have a few players with close to 8 hours playing together in the demo so our dynamic was pretty good.

hmm have you checked the disk to make sure it's not scratched? Tested another DVD to make sure the drive is still working?

If you have another system in the house you can try sharing the DVD drive, put the disk in and access it from your gaming system to install and run disk check before playing. You'll likely have to map the DVD as a network drive from the gaming system as well.

Lol, I'd LOVE to play on expert if the boss infected didn't have suck crazy HP/stats durring the Finale. It's absolutely insane trying to win on advanced in a pub. 1 smoker and the finale is over. They just drag people too far if a team isn't watching each other. :roll:

Rhino made a good server last night. Hopefully it will be up and running today. If you guys/gals (I was supprised to play with so many females yesterday lol) want to browse servers instead of being thrown into one; type openserverbrowser in your console to browse the old fasioned way.

when you 'openserverbrowser' you will most likely see TPU Server on there. that is mine. everyone in the US should get a solid connection to it.
