I just wished it had the director mode in the demo, because thats the only thing I could see myself having fun with and even then I don't think this game will last very long. | ||

The second time I played on expert (after finishing it the first time with a few continues), my team faced like 12 tanks in 8 or so tries. One tank spawned while we were in the safe house, then another spawned on top of it and glitched through the wall and killed us all. Other wipes consisted of the party getting hit with a boomer, a hunter, and a smoker all at the same time, leaving 2 people incapacitated and an immense swarm on everyone else. Boomers also spawned like 3 feet in front of us on one occasion (probably a glitch, but I swear that director AI had something up its arse). It also spawned two tanks on us in the apartment complex. Like, less than a minute into it. I gave up after that. The next few runs on expert weren't nearly as bad, but we were still getting wiped. Advanced seems like a decent difficulty... it is still somewhat hard, but very doable. | ||

Replayability is quite high, though there seems to be certain trends for the director (or just our luck, as we played we got quite many similar situations in a row after a wipe.) This makes even the demo quite addictive timesink. The sad thing is that bots aim so much better than most guys online and never leave you in trouble, making it prehaps too easy and boring to those who can't get online. Yet they tend to fail when an expert level tank comes and steamrolls the three of them in one run due their AI to stick together. (Note: always play online if you can, expecially with friends.) All this being said, I'm a bit unsure wheter I'll get it or not. Have had a lot of fun with demo  | ||

Have had a lot of fun with demo I agree the jump from Advanced to Expert is pretty massive, even then I've played some games where we've got through without even dieing. Consider though that this is only the first level. Games are always easier at the start. If it was too hard then it would have longevity and that's not what you want when you make a demo. Also you must be playing with some pretty poor players because the computer bots really really suck. They might be able to shoot, but they spread out way too much and don't stay together like a good team does. | ||

They might be able to shoot, but they spread out way too much and don't stay together like a good team does. I think it depends. For example, me and my friend playing with two bots on expert and almost made it all the way to the end on the first try without any of us dying (we just barely died at the end). That's better than the average team I have played on, because the bots generally don't do anything stupid enough to get you all outright killed, nor do they shoot you (Sidenote: I am amazed at the amount of friendly fire some people spew out... one guy killed me with a single zombie in front of me while we weren't in any other danger... same guy later shoots me with his shotgun while I was covering our back in a relatively open area in a subway, and no zombies that were within 20 feet of me. Then he managed to kill me while I was crouching and moving up a little to get a better shot on a tank, and threw a molotov on top of me and the tank. Gee, thanks buddy. Sad thing was, I don't think any of this was intentional). Then there was the guy I ran into who was causing us to wipe nearly every time, generally because he shot a teammate down at a very, very bad time. We had one decent shot to make it near the end of our playthroughs, with me as the only player standing (because he shot someone again). Unfortunately I got ganked by a smoker from an angle and distance where no one could save me. He started tking us in spawn, presumably for failing him. Oh man. I've completed expert a bunch, but I think it's still quite hard... the director challenges good teams quite often. Bad ones just die outright. Getting through the whole campaign on expert will probably be quite difficult. | ||
