It is very very fun!

So far the crew I was playing with managed to put together a few good runs and nab some goldmedals.

Top time so far is 14:09 minutes!

WOOT

I played with itchy, ferret and stevo and got a gold medal on the elevator level.

Tons of fun and teamwork to be had.... our other runs were less successful though.

Srsly? I couldn't even get Bronze there.Did last almost 14 minutes on the Dear Air Terminal though with Buzzy, Torven, and Prez.

I love that I can play L4D now without having to set aside an hour and a half to do so.

Also: Last Stand is masochism in it's purest form. That's all I'm saying.

[Archon]

ya last stand is the hardest of them from what ive played so far. terminal wasnt too hard, me, stevo and torven lasted over 10 mins with a bot for most of it.

You gotta keep going from room to room getting supplies and always call when your all going to get ammo. It felt easy.... maybe we were lucky.

Bathrooms seemed like the place to be for Terminal.

I've gotta say I'm pleased with the survival mode.

I played Farm of Death (which is a custom map similar to this) before and I wanted to play it with you guys just to see how long we could last. But that never happened. Now this nice game type is just that with a bit of polish added. Everything is as I expected it to be.

It's fun picking up spots to hold up in, creating plans, then jumping in and surviving as long as possible. Time will tell if it has the longevity of versus or TF2 but for now it's pretty fun.

[quote="Archon";p="167997"]no sdk update [/quote]Survival is fun, but I've seen too much skill stacking to get excited over new versus maps. I was really hoping for the SDK and custom map integration. I'm afraid I'm not die hard enough about this game to download custom maps, then find people to play them with on a local server when we should be able to download them from said server like all other Valve games.

ooohh... if thats the case I might actually be able to find time to play now!

I've gotten two golds so far, and I got them both ina row. One in the hospital elevator level, we got 11 minutes on that, then once in the sewers level, got about 12 minutes on that one. It was quite epic haha. That was with some random people there. Good times!

I agree 100%. It is nice to just have that quick 10 minute max campaign that keeps you on your heels. Short and sweet! Hah.
