Lessons from Left4Dead?

[Mother]

I hope that the devs are playing a boatload of Left 4 Dead as they work on ACM. They should be, because one thing it does really well is piss all over the Rambo players. Those who think breaking squad cohesion is the way to win.

I love how in Left 4 Dead the guy (or girl) who think they're hot shit and doesn;t need the protection of the collective is the one who is caught out by a Hunter or Smoker and killed.

Stay with the team. That is how you ensure survival.

Hopefully those lessons will pass onto Aliens: Colonial Marines.

LOL. I am that Rambo you speak off.

[Hei Gui]

I used to be Rambo. Ah, well. That's what I get for playing Halo too much and forgetting what being on a team is like.

Really, even on team slayer you can go off by yourself and, if you're careful enough, actually kill everyone on the opposing team without dying. That's if they're not together, though...

I don,t like left for dead too much if I tell you the truth. I know that It has an incredibly fun and well designed online mode, but I don,t play as much as other games like cod or some RTS games.

The main lesson from left for dead about the online mode should be at least..., quality?

[Ripley]

Someone should mod Left4Dead to be this game. It'd be faster what waiting for Box to get in Gear.

[Mother]

I'm sure there is probably something like that going on already.

[Neverfate]

Well, there is this Stalker Mod for L4D that gives you a Pulse Rifle and... oh just click the link, it's all there. =]

Completely agreed Mother.

I think GBX’s work on their four player coop Borderlands should help them see the pitfalls of cooperative play. L4D did a fantastic job of keeping the players reliant on one another, without ever forcing it upon them.

I guess that,s a debatable statement, but I agree left4dead is clearly focused on It.

I just hope ACM is not that focused on that, and gives us some independence from time to time.

It's debatable but you agree?
