Left 4 Dead Becomes Xbox 360 Exclusive

Valve, PC developer Turtle Rock and newcomer Certain Affinity (who were responsible for the Halo 2 Blastacular map pack) interesting new zombie shooter Left 4 Dead has recently been shown off in the US Official Xbox Magazine.

According to OXM the console version still has a way to go before it matches the state of the PC build, as only that version was playable because the 360 edition is "too overbalanced" at current.

The Xbox 360 version is set to feature four-player co-op and eight-player, four-on-four Versus matches via Xbox Live or System Link. But as for a splitscreen mode, Valve's Doug Lombardi says, "that's the most relevant question that we can't answer for you today."

Unfortunately for PS3 owners, it looks like the multiplayer shooter's sticking to Microsoft platforms for the time being. "The PC and 360 versions of Left 4 Dead will ship simultaneously, but there will be no PS3 edition," says OXM (that's the US one).

Haha, still I'd love to see the achievements. I bet they're proper achievements, not just like Push start to get 20G.

I just think the frantic co-op and running and gunning from hordes of zombies would be a real blast.

The combat is mostly cqc so freindly fire might no be able to avoid. I would swear so much if some *** hole kills me even if it was an accident. Also i would swear if a zombie comes out no where and scares me.

Id imagine with play as frantic as this that friendly fire would be disabled. As im sure in that clip one guy shot another on more than one occasion and it didnt register. With so many enemies swarming on you it would be very difficult to see who was friend or foe. Swearing is all part of the experience in games... well to me it is. :lol:

I know what you mean, on the egde never knowing when a zombie will come up behind you. I also like the idea of being a zombie, sounds fun!

Yeah, thats one of the first things that came to mind. How id love to be the zombie in a game like this, as its not been done very much in games before. The multiplayer sounds quite good, id heard some talk before about an infection mode. If a player is killed by a zombie then they become one until the other team is down to one. Imagine that, your whole team die and switch sides and only you left in building with them all coming towards you and your low on ammo. Now that sounds like an awesome gaming moment.

I dont know if they will ever go for that many players with a game of this type and style but will be interesting none the less. They would probably go for a more eerie and alone atmosphere for it in multiplayer.

Im glad the consoles are starting to get more players per server these days. With games like Frontlines: Fuel Of War boasting 50 players per server and new Battlefield Bad Company maybe boasting around the same and hints that COD 4 could in future have its limit boosted when bigger maps are released. Its all good news for online console gaming, im tired of watered down online from PC versions. Many people i know dont have good enough PC's to run latest games, so to play with them i buy the console versions and would be good to have something closer to PC experience.

Yeah with games like Battlefield being watered down in past from 64 players (PC) to 32 (Console) it just wasnt the same experience.

Only details i could get were from Eurogamer:

It will be made available for free in spring 2008 ahead of another map pack's release.

If you have the Orange Box, just let it sit on the main menu for a while and it will show a clip of the diffrent games in the Orange Box. Wait again on the main menu to see a clip for Left 4 Dead.
