Yeah but having GoW2, WaW, L4D makes for a good upcoming 3 months of stagnant releases ( December, January & February ) IMO . I have my Sci Fi Shooter , my Military Shooter and my Zombie Apocalypse Odyssey.
That's very true. I probably won't get L4D on release, I'll wait for x-mas. My parents and relatives stopped giving me presents like 3 years ago, now I just get a sh!t load of money from everyone. I'll most likely pick it up a few days after Christmas.
I just played the demo on the 360 and I don't think I'll be picking this up at all. After playing only one mission that latest about 10 minutes I'm already bored of the game. There's nothing really to it. Get a gun, shoot the **** outta zombies, and go wherever your going, nothing real solid about the game. Only way I'll be picking this up is if a couple of my friends get it and we can all play together.

Same here, I wasn't very impressed with it. I felt like I was playing a shooter made by Fisher-Price with how simple it was.
Nope, I'll be getting the new Tomb Raider tomorrow instead.
I can't wait to get this game today. I'll be playing it on the highest difficulty setting for maximum zombie anxiety. Played it for the first time with 3 other friends yesterday and we laughed our azzes off. Looking forward to the MP where you actually play as a zombie.
I finally downloaded the demo last night and was quite impressed as well. The graphics are really nice. Gameplay mechanics are good. And blowing heads off with the shotgun never felt so good. (actually it feels a little better in GOW2...with that popping sound)
But without any solid multiplayer features, I doubt i'll get this.
Played the actual game for a while yesterday. The Demo levels that were put out have been slightly expanded with The Subway having a pretty long street battle sequence after using the chain gun.
I can see where some people can say it get's repetative but goddamn I love this game. When I played the 2 levels after Subway, Sewer and Hospital they reminded me of the George Romero flesh eating ghoul movies that I love so much.
The Campaign mode offers 4 different styles of gameplay which I have yet to try and I have yet to play as a zombie which I hope to get to when I get home today.
On my way home from class yesterday afternoon, I stopped by a friend's house to check out this game... it looks and plays as good as the demo, although we did notice some framerate issues (slowdown) that were not evident while playing the demo. This happened when there were only 2 or 3 zombies on the screen, as well. And to top things off, my brother told me last night that he's experienced some freezing issues while playing the game... not a good omen, that's for sure.
Has anyone else who has the game experienced any issues like this so far? Just knowing these apparent problems has me second guessing whether or not I even want to play this game anymore... let alone run out and purchase a copy outright.

I played it for a good 3-4 hours yesterday and didn't have any issues at all, not even framerate. It's run smooth as butta. Now, to my surprise Gears of War 2 has been freezing on me while playing Horde a good 4-6 times. I've never had a 360 game freeze on me before while on MP.
Perhaps these online issues came up recently because of the impending XBL upgrade that was getting closer to its release??
Because now that I think about it, Gears 2 was acting kind of funky for a little while last night... not the kind of issue that you've already spoken of, but weird things that I commonly see while playing Socom: Confrontation over on the PSN.
I can't see this game being fun without at least one friend playing with me. One of the guys in my hallway and I were going nuts with this game last week after downloading the demo and it was a lot of fun...I just don't think I would want to play by myself.

Looks like I will have to wait until Dec. 25 to get my hands on this game... with the way things have been with our economy, I just don't have the extra cash laying around to spend on it right now.
Besides, my little brother will probably want to get it for me as a birthday gift, seeing as how he already owns a copy of it. Good times!
I dig this game and everything the AI are smart, but the zombie skins get a little redundant after awhile i wish they would have added more or had more variations, playing as a zombie is pretty sweet online, crouch jumping is a little tough sometimes, does anyone have any tips on that?
