    Just played a round on the hospital elevator level. It is so ****ing awesome. (Thats right uncensored!) Seriously people you need to rent it if you don't have it and download survival mode. It is free.

    Seriously it is hard to tell you how fun it is.

    Discuss.

    I have to pick this game up so bad. I played the demo just about non-stop when it was avaliable, and that was a blast. I watched some Survival Mode on YouTube earlier, and that's just pure chaos. Makes me need it even more.

    Ya it is pretty fun but can't imagine anyone being able to get gold medals without cheating. Most I got is 5 minutes I think.

    I'm sure you'll love it.

    I've played only a few times since it was released, but survival mode is an intense blast.

    I made it to 3:36, as you can tell I suck. It's really fun and it actually is all about team work, the only reason I didn't get further is because all my team mates separated from each other and no one could reach the other in time to save them.

    If anyone wants to get a group of four together tonight invite me. GT: CaMOfo

    I been trying to play Left 4 Dead for the last 2 days but I keep getting booted for no reason even though I've been saving their asses all match. If there booting me so there friends can join create friends only game so I don't keep getting matched up with douchbags who are too goddamn lazy to press a mother f***ing button to stop this. I am really angry at this. Seriously the last 20 matches.

    I'm with you CaMOfo, for I seriously am disabled without a cooperating team. So far the majority of Survival games have been on the Last Stan map, which is so god damned perfect for the actual game type. Valve hasn't incorporated one single flaw in this map, every aspect is revolved around teamwork. I'm really glad that Valve solely implemented a map for a single DLC, shows how genuine they are. Though as for the actual game, it's hard as hell by your self, or even with other players. A crucial thing is most definitely smokers. While they used to be low on the likely to kill you chain, now they make you extremely vulnerable. Once they extract you out of your main teams structure, your mostly dead unless your team mates decide to break loose. I'm almost declaring the smoker unfair and some situations, but its just due to me being pissed off at players who don't bother to save someone with ample time to do so (Even though in most cases I do the same thing, lol). All in all, this is a kick ass downloadable content, and really revived Left 4 Dead.

    Last night I was watching one side on the sewer map and 3 smokers came. It was hard as hell to kill them all, and then I turn around for one second and another grabs me! Four smokers at the same time!?

    I got the game the day it came out and enjoyed it so much i played it every time I got on my xbox (sorry halo 3) Everyone said it gets boring but for me it never did because you never know whats going to happen. when survival mode came out it was fun but i thought the level specifically for survival was kind of lame. but the verses mode extra level and playing survival on other levels was extremely fun. its just an all around good game.

    I played this and it was surprisingly harder than I thought, i think my best is like 4:50-something.

    Here's something I did in one party that was pretty fun (not exactly smart).

    Go on lighthouse and set it up so that you have gasoline canisters and propane tanks scattered around the lighthouse in a big circle. Basically set up so that you have a big chain reaction going off if one of the gasoline canisters is hit.
    Aside from the one person that alerts the horde, have everyone go to the very top of the lighthouse. Alert the horde and hold them off for as long as you can without igniting or detonating your chain reaction fence you have set up. Then when everyone is about to die light it up! It's really cool to watch all the fire and explosions go off, and it usually buys you about 30 seconds more of time. But you usually (or atleast I usually) die right after. It reminds me a lot of that scene in I am Legend where will smith's character does something like this.

    fun stuff. anyways happy zombie killing.

    Shh... Don't tell anyone...

    Ok my best time without glitching is 7:00, but that was with a great team who actually talked and wasn't in a party.

    I swear to God I hate the party system, it has caused people to never talk on Xbox Live. Halo 3 has it right by actually telling you if they have a mic or are in a party. Other games like Left 4 Dead don't so I don't know if my team can here me or not. Here is a cool idea. Have it setup so that you can choose a game where people have there mics plugged in and are not in parties.

    We just camped out in the corner, pretty easy really.

    The only problem I have is when the Director throws 4 or more specials at you at the exact same time. I have an even bigger problem when it throws 2 Tanks at you at the same time T_T buuuullshit......

    Anyway, my best time is only around 5:20. Is there a glitch on The Crane level, because I was looking at the leaderboards, someone made it to 189 minutes on that level o_o

    My best was just under 10 minutes on The Street.

    Sucks, we only missed gold by about 20 seconds.

    That's nothing. On 2-3 maps the times range in at over 1000 minutes.
