I can't even begin to add up how much money I have been spending on all these Steam deals. Ow well, can't go wrong at all these prices. I am in.

great deal here

Already have L4D2 so I might as well get L4D as well.

I tend to jump around a lot of public games and most of the people I end up with are fun to play with. Lots of ragers and quitters, but not really any worse than the 360's crowd; some silent teams, some very communicative teams. I'd say about half of the players I come across use headsets.

Also, a official wired Xbox 360 controller is pretty much plug and play with L4D2 (and I'd assume L4D1) with the same control setup as the 360's version, and you can make the 360's wired headset work with steam through the controller! KB/M is vastly superior to a controller, though.

Oh, yes. Both games are still in the top 20 on Steam. Valve = Steam, Valve = L4D. It's a lovefest on Steam, as with all Valve games.

You might find this chart helpful:
http://store.steampowered.com/stats/

List of the top 100 games being played on steam. Updated hourly. The stats for L4D and L4D2 will be a little wonky (high) because of the new free DLC, but usually L4D2 is in the top 10 and L4D is in the top 20.

Regardless, the game is not very much fun with strangers. Your best bet is to buy a 4-pack and team up with your friends. Strangers are OK, but they don't usually play well as a team. Sometimes you get jerks, especially in Scavenge mode.

Bit on it, thanks OP. Was feeling a zombie game with the release of dead rising 2 (haven't got that yet due to some poor reviews, prolly drop to $25ish before xmas at this rate.) Can't go wrong with 2 zombie games for ~$5 each (bundle)

Bought it... but steam servers are too busy to download. :(

Great deal, thanks OP

These games are awesome with a good group of people. I highly doubt you will be disappointed.

Holy crap this is an amazing price! I have literally been waiting well over a year for this as I only now have a PC capable of running it (just upgraded).

So that said... what is a good resource for this game for total newbies? Or should I just jump in and hope for the best.

I would join the CAG steam community if you haven't already.

After that just look for people to play and let them know you're just starting out and you should be good to go. My steam name evildeadjedi1981 go ahead and add me if you want and I hope to play this evening (depending on if I can install since the servers are getting pounded right now).

yea the server is getting annoying. I bought L4D2 a while back but it wont let me play it right now because of the map update that i cant dl due to the server. I also bought L4D with this deal.

P.S Im going to add u. My ID is serate

Any reason to pick up L4D if you already have L4D2 on PC? Haven't played L4D2 yet for the record.

All right I just saw your request and added you on my list.

I already had Left 4 Dead 2, Left 4 Dead however... *buy*

Its available on both Windows and OSX now, and my five year old computer with a 3 year old video card runs Left 4 Dead 2 great on medium settings. There is no reason now why no one should own both of these games now.

O_O Wow. How can anyone pass these games up at this price?

Do you think it's worth the bundle even if I own both games on 360?
Any advantages on PC over 360, besides the graphics and the fact that DLC's are free?

jumped on this!
