Just my own copy on xbox 360 last night.

Xbox Gamertag =  Jranma23456

I'm down to fight the zombie apocalypse!

PS: i am a terrible noob and will probably die alot :P

Stay close to the team!

I cannot stress that enough  XD  lol   I play with so many people online that just run the frick ahead of everyone else and essentially screw the team over  (getting hurt so we need to heal them but they wont heal us, leaving us to die if a tank shows up, etc etc).  When you play versus and your team's the zombie side, you still gotta work together if you wanna take the humans down.  Coordinate attacks.
I love Halo, but this isn't the same type of game where you can get away with just running @$$-first into battle throwing grenades in random directions just hoping to get a kill   T_T

You can vote to kick a player off, but it really sucks to do that...


But yeah, you shouldn't have too hard a time or really die as long as you at least have one person with you  (if a hunter jumps you or a smoker grabs you and you're alone, you can say goodnight  lol).  So if you want to go back and get that other pipe bomb you saw or more ammo from the safe house you left not too long ago,   :D  take your buddy!  lol



If you're ever online (have not see ya once, yet  lol)  we should play.  I love that game.

I just bought myself a copy a few nights ago.  I'm a PC gamer though, is it possible to play with the Xbox people?  Anyway, I'm excited.  Woohoo!

That'd be a really cool idea  (and considering Xbox is Microsoft and xbox is still online).   Huh...I don't think they can, though. 

[Jerry]

Thats suprising, because for example I thought all FFXI players can play with all other platforms (i.e. usa and japan can play on the samer serviers) which should mean that cross platforms should be able to do the same too right? (going under assumptions)

because i know FFXI plays on PC, ps2, ps3 (technically) xbox360. because if they split it up via consoles, then I'd figure the console players would have no one to play with?

So I'm hoping PC and xbox 360 players could cross platform and play via the same server...

More research needs to be done on this to get a definate answer...  ???

Since the PC version runs using the Steam game service(which is owned by Valve), it cannot be played together with Xbox LIVE(which is owned by Microsoft).

The short version: You're screwed.

too bad.

I know this should probably be in the ask Dr. O thread....

but what if you mixed Steam with Windows? ? Thats right ... smexy results.

or you could say i wish i could take a pipe valve and bash it into a Microsoft head with it.

eh, it sounded funnier about 5 minutes ago. :P

Yeah, cross-platform gaming depends on whether the publisher is interested in making it happen and if Microsoft green-lights it.  If the publisher isn't, then it's not going to happen, and that seems to be the case with Left 4 Dead.  They didn't bother with Team Fortress 2 either, for that matter, of course the reasons are understandable in that case (IIRC 360 TF2 games are limited in the number of online players compared to the PC cousin, plus the 360 version is being slower in getting out the class upgrades as well as not being free with them).  AFAIK, there are only two games for the 360 that are cross-platform with online play, and those are FF XI and Shadowrun (that one showing the problems with cross platform online shooters, since it was nerfed to accommodate 360 players using controllers rather than keyboard/mouse controls).  They're trying to add Champions Online to that list, but that's now a matter of Microsoft giving the okay for it.

For those with a Xbox 360, would we need a gold membership account to play online?

Yeah, you would.

[AnimeEmperor]

As predicted I got it for christmas, username on xbox is the same as here if anyone wants to play. And I mean ANYONE because at this moment I have no one to play with.

[Mizuki]

This game is on sale, so if you haven't bought it and want it BUY IT NOW.

[Raymei]

I'm supposed to be playing it right now with my brothers but 2 of my roommates are on my xbox playing my Halo 3  T.T   (they're on mine and not [one of]theirs because his girlfriend and sister are playing on his).

...sucks....

[shinjiboy]

To add onto what Mizuki said, make sure you computer can support the game.  I found out first hand that with my com, I can only lessen the lag, not get rid of it.  That being said, I need to upgrade my laptop.  If I can't do that, its time to put the game on the shelf... boo hoo.

Well damn...

[havok rt]

Well if anybody wants to play with little old me; my Xbox Gamertag is Havoc RT (accepting friend request just mention fanime. ) Unfortunately, I've become extremely picky with who play online but that's because there are so many FRAKING retards on XBL. So if you're your not so great, tell me ahead of time before I start yelling at you.

[AnimeEmperor]

Well i'll play with anyone who talks. I've played for hours with people I hated, but they talked a lot and kept it interesting.
