OK, I'm officially calling this the best multiplayer game of the year. The single player is blah, but the multiplayer modes really shine. The 4 player co-op is a lot of fun and quite challenging, but the real deal is in the versus mode. 4 infected vs 4 survivors. Your "gamer sense" gets thrown for a loop when dealing with human controlled undead. I forget sometimes that my opponent knows what I have to do and where I need to go.
Case in point, I was rear guard for my party and we were leaving the sewers via a open manhole cover. My teammates cleared the street of zombies and told me to join them. Don't you know the moment I got onto the street a Hunter leaped out from behind a car dropping me back into the sewers and pinning me to the ground unable to move. I'm screaming like a little girl in panic only to find out that my teammates got puked on by a Boomer and couldn't get to me.
Only evil and conniving people could ever have thought up that strategy. Human>AI for a long time to come.
This game really is best played with friends. Actually, make that friends with mics. Playing with random people usually ends up as a bust, but getting 7 people you know are cool makes all the difference. That being said, if anyone wants to play with me and my friends, send me an invite. My Xbox Gamertag is MNC Dover.
Can't wait to get back to playing! Later!
I just played the demo on the 360. I downloaded it a while ago and never got to it. Just did the single player, it was intense, but repetitive at the end.
The multiplayer sounds great though. If I check out the full game I'll definately send a request. And if you ever try out Gears 2 multi drop me one. I love the Horde mode and wish I had more online friends playing it.
