    I was just thinking....

    ... about how ridiculously well made Left 4 Dead is.

    I mean... think about just about every other MP game you've played - how was it balanced? Here, there isn't any weapon that's way over powered - or underpowered. There isn't an infected class that's over powered. The balance between survivors and infected is just about perfect. There aren't a bunch of exploitable objects/mechanisms in the game.

    The best part? TG-style teamwork really is required for success by the game itself! The admin team has had to warn/kick/ban a grand total of zero players!


    anyway.... just a random thought... see you guys on tonight....

    I was thinking how great it would be to take the l4d game mechanics and put it into the star wars universe. Jedi/Smuggler class vs Sith/BountyHunter with the horde as storm troopers.... would be pretty fun

    Oh god, zombie clowns. Now that's scary. My sister would die.

    Maybe someone will mod in the Zombitron.

    It's Valve. We've come to expect nothing less from them.

    Excactly my thought.
    It was the same thing with TF2. These guys know their business and they know we love free content.

    Yeah, first they release a near perfect game, and then make it even better. And the great part is they actually listen to the players.

    Even if we do as gamers bust their chops about release dates for updates and such.

    They're a great company, regardless of what complaints arise about them they always are out to deliver great content.
