Isn't $50 us normal price?

Not in Switzerland, for example. It's much cheaper, thankfully

With todays rates, $50 is the normal price.

I bought L4D for 45$ (pre-order), so around 54 CHF - if I had bought it in the shop, it would've cost me around 90 CHF.

Old, but funny as hell

lol @ old

the internets...

making of the trailer:

http://www.l4d.com/blog/post.php?id=2081

pretty good insight and you can see how the game itself developed during these shots...

Amazing that vid got done in nearly 4 months.

I finally Picked this up today from steam. Bit of a simple question but can you build custom maps for it like Half Life 2 etc. I don’t use source a lot but I would be interested in trying out something for left 4 dead. Is there an extra download I need to grab or something.

Chears.

The SDK is to be released "soon" (Google for "Valve Time" to find out what's the meaning of "soon")

here ya go http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_time

lol thanks guys.

They said the same thing about the Crysis Wars Editor. Still waiting on that too.

I got this for my brother on Christmas

for the 360

and enjoyed it so much I got a copy for myself too so I can play with him. I want the PC version for custom content when it comes (and if I get the time, I'd love to make my own), but for now I prefer it without people running around spamming vocalise binds and skipping all the encounters.

It really needs some support though, such as rigging up the rest of the maps for versus, maybe a new tier of weapons and periodic new campaigns. Ah, and the bugs...

Edit: I should search the Internet before posting

I can imagine Valve adding new campaigns withing updates, or adding new weapons, they did this with Team-fortress 2 too, so why wouldn't they do it for this game?

Well, of course they’re going to support it, Valve are famous for it... maybe that’s not the right word. With only half the maps playable in versus, exploits around most encounters and the other obvious but less serious bugs it feels unfinished (it is). New weapons would be a great addition because with only two tiers most parties won’t go off the beaten path, but like new campaigns it's obviously something that can come much later as support.

Edit: I'm not doing that TF2 achievements argument again so I removed all that.

All right, if anybody else is using an NVIDIA card, particularly a 9800GTX, what drivers are you using?

The latest from the site are 180.48 and it's been an absolute disaster for me and at least one other guy. Ever since I updated the game's been plagued by awful, unpredictable stutters, wherein I get to look at the same frame and hear the same sound for a good 15 seconds or more.

I'm getting the same issue with my 8800, seems like it's a recent issue cause I haven't upgraded my drivers since Left 4 Dead was released.

Right. Steam told me to update them when it came out, and that was it. I mainly updated this time because Zombie Panic Source crashed citing some driver error.

In a bizarre twist, my 3D View in Hammer doesn't work anymore either.

Ugh, tell me about it, I've had that problem since release. Ive got a 260 though.

Oh, for the record I'm running 178.24

I have an 8800GTX using the 180.48 drivers and L4D plays fine, no slowdowns or other problems here...
