Dan and I had a blast the other day.


I just need to find a tutorial to get better at setting up servers so the guys I want to play with can enter first.


Thanks for the game Dan!

No worries, I had fun too :D

If you are talking about setting up lobbies, then start them as friends only, and send invites to the friends you want to play with. Then once they are in, open it up to being public so it can fill up.

I ended up getting this for my X360 rather than my PC so my friend and I could play through it together. Now I'm thinking I might have to get a copy just for the PC so I can get online as I don't pay for XBox live.

Get it for the PC or get live, as the magic of this game is playing with other people.

Get the PC version. Best game I bought in a year, hands down great fun (except when you have the idiot dropping the F-bomb every 18 seconds).

So many people were complaining when it first came out that there are only 4 maps, though I keep hearing more and more about this game. I think it may be on par with TF2, and will really be awesome once the SDK is released.

SDK and more maps are a must.

Game is fun, but it'd be 10 times more fun with more maps.

Can anyone explain why I don't earn achievements on the PC version? Are they only available on the X-360 version (which I also have)?

Are you playing online? With cheats disabled?

Whatever! You were AFK so much I thought you were baking a cake or something! :axe:

Hey, I was the last man standing, that's got to count for something! Ok, so maybe I wasn't standing... I was laying on the ground... bleeding.. but still!
[Betty has thrown a claw at Master Tang, the action freezes]
Master Tang: [voice over] Ok, so here were my options. (a), quickly duck left, dodge the claw and take him out with a spinning back kick, or (b), take the claw in the face, roll on the ground and die.
[action resumes, Tang gets hit with the claw]
Master Tang: Hmm, should have gone with (a).

Steam has achievements, but they aren't connected to Xbox 360.

You can look at the list from the main menu.

You have no room to talk. After our long adventure through No Mercy on expert.... I seriously cringe at the thought of you anywhere near me with a gun.

Shoot the infected..... not the survivors. =D>


haha, I'm kidding, we did alright. Expert is a beast though, I haven't played in almost a month and coming back to Expert wasn't the best idea :P
