Unlocking now!!! Zombie time!!!

totally wish i bought PC now. Oh well. Work a half day and THEN destruction!

Game play is very rough, choppy for me... I surpass the reqs easily and drivers are up to date. I wonder whats the deal with this game.

Odd, as it seems to be running flawlessly for myself, even even for my friend who is running it at bare minimum. (and is running it above minimum options, to boot) I had an issue with it myself, turned out that alt-tabbing had disabled Steam Community, tabbing out and back in again re-enabled it and oddly fixed the choppiness.

Regardless... The game seems like a port, and it lacks a lot of polish. After the devs specifically said the PC version had been developed separately by their own team from the very beginning, I'm very disappointed.

Who cares? really?

It seems like a great game to me, much more fun in some aspects then L4D and sure as hell more to do.

Cant wait to see what Trainer options theres going to be..

Although.. the trainer is going to be tricky guys..

Apparently even if you play in single player its possible for people to join your game if they are doing the same quests and such as you.. Because of that its going to be really tricky.

Oh, and i havent had any graphical issues or choppiness thus far.

Yeah, because you totally can't disable letting people join your game by turning it to "single player."

I was kinda surprised that the default game mode was not single player.

Actually man, you cant.


i started off in Single player and my friend was able to join me.

Also in single player i was given the choice to Join someone that was near me.

Check it out for yourself and you'll see.

If the game does infact use VAC, using a trainer is going to be tricky because of it.


Oh and if you dont believe me, Go into Single player mode and look at your Modem or Routers Internet Activity Lights, even in Single Player you are still using the internet like you would in a Co-Op game.

Which is pretty fn stupid if you ask me. Basically ANYONE can join you if they are near your position in their own game which Turns it into an Internet game instead of Single Player.
