My lappy won’t be able to handle this, sadly. Future purchase, when I’m done with grad school. I’m very interested to see how moddable it is, and how much publisher support it will get in terms of new maps and tweaks–expansion packs, maybe?

…

And I still secretly want to see all the survivors reskinned as the four president/vice-presidential candidates. It’s too perfect. Obama’s obviously the black dude (yes we can! yes we can!), the mouthy biker as Biden, Palin as the winking female (you betcha!) and McCain as the unshaven crotchety vietnam vet.

It’s just too damned perfect.

@Erlam: They’ve probably been playing it on one of the three Easy modes, instead of the one true mode: Expert!

The game becomes a whole new experience on that mode, you’re no longer killing swathes of Zombies, and wandering to the end… You’re fighting for survival, limping to the end with no health, praying that the witch wont wake up, and dreading the sound of the Tank.

Expert is the only mode I’ve played where teamwork means a few seconds difference between staying alive and being seperated from the group and torn to pieces… And just one person down means you’re almost screwed.

I can’t wait for the rest of the campaigns, particularly Dead Air and Blood Harvest, the atmosphere in both seem fantastic.

@Erlam: Possibly a result of the annoying networking issues that plagued the demo in its first day. It now seems much better off. I can’t fathom anyone not liking the gameplay, unless they’ve only played singleplayer.

It’s weird, nothing but positive reviews here, and nothing but pans from my friends and everyone at work. Quite the disparity.

My cautious optimism of a few months ago has transformed into full-blown, geeky anticipation.

I love this game so much now… I’m going to have to restrain myself from over-playing the demo before the full game comes out and spoiling it for myself.

It’s VS mode with someone playing as a Boomer. The screenshot was taken by someone spectating, which is why they can see the outlines of both teams.

The Blue outline is boomer. He’d inflated and easily explodable. If he gets close enough to vomit in you, you get a swarm of zombies on your ass.

As for the yellow outline that looks like his undies are showing, that’s actually a pill bottle.
