Left 4 Dead Patched, Eases Difficulty

Ah, cool, they've patched the PC version, so by Valve's timeframe they should patch the 360 version sometime in 2011, if the TF2 DLCs announced back in 2007 and we're still waiting for it is any indication to their sh!tty post-release support for consoles.

WTF? This game is so easy already you can walk through it without ever healing yourself. I have played a good bit on the pc and the 360 and it is easy as hell. If anything they need to make it more challenging.

Technically, they didn't change it at all. They just locked server operators from being able to change the difficulty in Versus mode since people found it really annoying when they joined a server where rounds ended in two minutes because the Infected were extremely powerful. The difficulty intended for Versus is Normal.

Ok, nice response, fanboy. Try to stick to the issues, and the issue is L4D isn't selling up to 360 standards. It's getting trounced by a Soccor game, on the PS3, in the US no less. What gives? 360 fans usually snap up any old shooter tripe, just look at Mercenaries 2, and L4D is getting excellent reviews hasn't really stormed out of the gate.

Don't get me wrong. It's selling well. Almost half a million units moved in 2 weeks is outstanding, but that's not new shooter on the 360 type numbers. Maybe it's just going up against COD-WAW and Gears 2 is too much for any game to handle right now. I'd play it in a second if it weren't for those ridiculous subscription fees no one else charges. Also, I've got nothing against the 360, I couldn't wait for Fable 2 and Gears 2 and loved both of them. I don't want to come off as some sort of raving Sony nutter. I've never agreed with XBL fees, doing most of my online gaming on my PC back in the orig Xbox days. I tried XBL on the 360 for a couple of years but it just wasn't worth it for me.

And a side note, I'd rather have a heck of a time online playing games AND have a blu-ray player AND not have pay subscription fees for it all. Oh, wait. I do all that. So how are things back in 2007 when XBL was considered worth the money compared to the competition? Has the mortgage crisis hit yet? Watch out for it, it's going to screw everything up!

its a multiplayer game, what you said don't make much sense.

How many hours long are the online portions of Halo3, Resistance, Gears, CoD4... since all you do is repeat the same maps over and over...

- Left 4 Dead was "meant" to be an online game as stated by Valve themselves.

- The online portions of Resistance 2 and Gears 2 have maps that are skirmishes, not a part of an overall story.

- Resistance 2's co-op is way longer than left 4 dead... I dare say it's almost as long as R2's campaign.

- Gears 2 and R2's Co-op is also more enjoyable and longer than left 4 Dead, as their patches didn't have to alter the game to make it more enjoyable like L4D had to.

well personally i have Gears 2, and i find L4D much more fun to play, i usually end up playing it for 4-6 hours once i get on with some friends, and even if we end up playing no mercy over and over, its still alot of fun. A.I. director also helps this out alot.
