I dont care who said what, there is only ONE Source engine.

I agree , you can tweak it a bit but there is only one engine.

Don't forget the immense tweaks done to the engine for Episode 2.

Been reading reviews and it's received unanimous praise from critics.....I am so amping for this now
Bring on the Zombie Carnage!

[Xiphan]

I want my PC up and running just for this very game! Otherwise the pre-load for the demo is complete, now I just wait for them to unlock it and I'll find any possible way to play it!

[Siemens]

I'd just love to know how are south africans going to play this.

Well at least how I'm going to. I do have a connection that can play online, but I don't know any online people and my friends that I know don't play online games. So what are the odds of seeing a game with a low ping that will welcome strangers?

I'm going to wait a long time before purchasing just to see local opinions.

Oh and no, i don't want to play a co-op game as a single player.

[Xiphan]

The game, although heavily geared towards online play, does have a single player option and I'm sure it will have LAN play too, so fear not!

[Siemens]

That would have been great news if ...

I didn't post this

i don't want to play a co-op game as a single player.

Also my friends don't play any games at all.

Oh I actually saw the game on shelf today at a CNA

[justinufo]

This game has been getting some good reviews.Might check it out.

[Molean]

I tried it out on the weekend It's really cool and alot of fun buuuuuut unless you plan on lanning the crap outa it or playing online....you will get bored of the single player rather quickly. They offer you four movie style scenarios with each taking about 30min to complete, longer if you increase the difficulty. The source engine looks beautiful here, they went to town with the atmosphere and sound effects. It really feels like you are in the midst of a zombie holocaust, which I love. Blowing zombies heads off has never been so much fun

[Molean]

Wow, nobody else played it yet?

[Anakha56]

I dont know if I want to play this game . The review from Bit-Tech nearly made me buy it but then I stopped and thought let me see what the Zombies are like in COD5 and since I am scared from these buggers I dont know if I could handle a full blown Zombie game ...

[Molean]

LOL, I am scared of them too Anakha.....but thats what makes this so enjoyable. I was playing in the dark last night and was getting quite freaked out.....especially on the hospital level.

[Mow]

I love that last COD5 level . Cant get past lv 5 though. Anakha , you didnt do well with doom3 or call of chtullu then huh ? I want this game badly.

Doom3 was okay mainly because it was predictable and the weapons had a real kick in them. This game sounds like the weapons will do damage but not as much as you are hoping for. Did not play call of chtullu did not get the chance. The COD5 mission is awesome because you never know where thos slow walkers are coming from whereas Doom3 you knew go around this corner and voila a monster .

[Ron2K]

So, I bought this yesterday and played it in single player mode last night.

This game is seriously awesome. It's everything you could want in a co-op shooter: teamwork is strongly emphasised, the zombie spawns are randomised so you don't know what to expect around that next corner (which firstly gives you an adrenaline rush and secondly adds to the replay value of the game), and you get to kill zombies.

Now, all I need are some people to play with (I'm sure playing with other people is far better than single player), and I'll be very happy.

[chowzen]

hahaha..yeah this game rocks..its mega fun..i hooked it up to a 42" screen and surround sound...i though i would never yell like a girlll**the shame**** ROFL...this game is mega fun...wpould like to play ot on ,multiplayer too

[Kasyx]

This game makes me want to sell my soul for a PC capable of playing it. I tried it at a friends house, and now I just go over there to play. I use him so much.

[Siemens]

I saw the gameplay footage on the nag disc and it is mouth watering. I want to play it but I dont have co-op friends.

[Ron2K]

Hence my post in this thread - to try to find some.

[R3D]

I was kinda dissapointed when i first played single player but as a coop game it rocks

[Xiphan]

Hence my post in this thread - to try to find some.

[Jonboy]

So what were people's thoughts on this game. Was received very quietly here so I didn't even pay it a second glance, but it got such a good write-up in this month's PCF that I may just get hold of it.

[Ron2K]

Two words.

Pure awesomeness.

That is all.

[Xiphan]

Agreed!

The level of gore is awesome! I just love getting either the sniper rifle or the assault rifle and going for headshots if only to see the head explode in a lovely splatter of blood!
