The review was fine. I disagree about steam being unreliable though. Steam has always been stable and fast for me. Perhaps you need to uprade your rig or connection.

Good review. I'd say the score should be bumped up but that's just me.

Also Source is the physics engine, Havok was just a base.
Source is the game engine. Havok is the physics engine for the Source engine, similar to how PhysX is the phisics engine for the CryEngine2.

I completely and utterly disagree with the game needing more weapons. To everyone who thinks this please go back to Halo and leave this game alone. Your fetish is not wanted or, and more significantly, needed here. The game is perfectly balanced with these weapons and anything else would just be a pointless mix of the properties of the already existing primary weapons.

I complete and utterly disagree with this post, as it constitutes rage war bait.

All I said was a couple more weapons, not "OMFG I WANT A BAZOOKA AND A MACHINE GUN AND THIS AND THAT" I agree that the weapons are balanced. In hindsight, I think you need to read my review a bit more and only then reply here again.

A couple more weapons will eventually lead to BAZOOKA AND A MACHINE GUN because once you bow to this kind of thing then people want it all regardless of how stupid it is to include it.

And I read your review and thought it was good right up until that paragraph so no, I don't need to go back. I just wish people would get over the number of weapons. Less is more.

But what are the chances of BAZOOKA AND A MACHINE GUN from the devs? Zero! The devs (and I) realize that less is more, along with you. That's why I only insisted on one or two new weapons. They don't even have to be main weapons, they could be a new type of explosive or something like that.

On a good note, I'm glad people are voting both good and bad on my review. It means a lot to me.

Reliability is subjective: he's entitled to think that it's not if that's what he's experienced. Steam's been okay but never great to me, so I would agree that it's not particularly reliable. Nothing I can do about my connection, however, and I don't know what a rig is.

left 4 dead is kinda like a game called zombie panic (which is created by the same engine called source)the best thing about left 4 dead is that it randomizes the location of the zombies and the different types of special zombies e.g witch so u never now whats going 2 be were

one thing about weapons is who needs a shotgun or hunting rifle when u can just hit everyone the only time u need to shoot is when u are playing on expert (i normally play it on normal) or versing a special zombie like a tank

One last thing is this game is not the best online i mean if u have 4 friends playing that's ok but every time i play online i get a stupid troll who always sets of a car alarm or on versus runs ahead a dies making it allot harder to win. also allot of the levels on no mercy the way can be blocked, e.g when u get the elevator in the level 'hospital' people always push something in front of the entrance so me and my team can't get out then they just jump through the roof and kill us

Here are the official ranks (letter wise)
97-100 = A+
93-97 = A
90-93 = A-
87-90 = B+ (89 is under 90 hence the B-)
83-87 = B
80-83 = B-

That's as far as I need to go.
What's with this plus and minus crap? Am I the only one here that grew up with the standard; A, B, C, D, F system?

And to answer the poll question, I agree'd with the reviewer.

Its not a bad review, but its not exactly great either. Im not going to go into detail as that has already been done above.

The writings not great and the numerical scoring system is terrible at best...

I completely agree with you. I'd love to know what about Steam is unreliable. I've been using it since its inception (before there was even a friends list), and I have yet to have an issue with it.

I'm going to jump on the bandwagon also and say that the grading system is ridiculous. If you can't get the point across in your review how you feel about the game, and require numbers, then something is wrong with that review. Not to mention how I can't understand why "weapons and enemies" get their own section, yet Sound doesn't.

I'd like to say for the record too, that this game does not require any more weapons. It would not make this game any better.

Well, first off, my internet connection can go from 700 kb/s to 12 kb/s in about 7 seconds flat.

Weapons and Enemies get a section and sound does not because sound isn't that important. Ooh, I heard a zombie! Whoop dee fricken doo.

Sorry, I'm in a bit of a bad mood.

A rig is slang for your computer.

I haven't played the game so I don't really have an opinion.

This is an improvement from your UT3 review, but get rid of the numerical system!

Words are better than numbers in my opinion. Otherwise it was pretty good!
