I know that the demo is only part of the game and more thing will be available when I purchase the real game but so far it seems like a funny and frightening game to play. So far I have about three funny moments worth metioning.

1. While playing with random people online I noticed I heard crying. Not knowing anything about Left 4 Dead and playing on expert because if I'm going to play a zombie game with realistic abilites as in you can't go solo unless you like to die alot, I might as well play on the only level where everything would make sence. A level where anything that can throw a car will instantly kill me, not down me or only hurt me. I digress, I heard the crying and asked one of my team mates what the noise was. No one knew what it was but knew since we were the only survivors that it had to be bad and must die. One team mate volunteered to kill it and shot her in the back of the head with the shot gun. Seeing he angered it he called out for help but seeing how it was screaming and chasing him we all left him and went back tgo the safe room.

2. In the apartment level I was playing with 3 friends I know well and joke around with. As we head into a kitchen one of my friends has a bright idea and walks up to a counter. "You guys I'll be iwth you in a second....Wait this place has no wonder bread? Yo forget this place I'm out" he then went back upstairs to mess with us. Just as he reached the top we were swarmed by a hunter, boomer and horde. Needless to say we all died while by some mirical he made it to the safe room.

3. With the same friends we have a good run through as we get to the subway with a health pack and 80 health. We get past a mob when we see the ground shake and see the tank. After a few shots everyone except for one of my friends are dead. We try telling him to run to the safe room without knowledge that the tank dies after a certain amount of time or that he can break into the safe room. He decided he can kill it from a half way decent safe place. As he id shooting he realizes his one flaw. He can still be hit by debrie thrown by the tank. He dies and we have to start over again.

I have more "Oh shit!" moments then funny.. I guess I do have one moment where it's coming out of the subway into the dark room with the pillars and a Witch was in the corner. Most of the team was avoiding her but one person went up to the Witch and started shooting so she went ape-shit and then someone tries to throw a cocktail but instead he throws it on the floor near us, we're all on fire trying to kill the Witch..good times.

Advanced difficulty, pistol only run. Zombie swarm comes, I start laughing insanely over the talk channel and yelling "The Cake is a Lie, the Cake is a lie!" while firing rapidly into a crowd.

I was Boomer-biled, and so a horde came after me. Standard stuff, except this time after I went down my teammates threw a pipe bomb at me. After the explosion, which I barely survived, they helped me up and we started to continue onwards through the subway. I didn't walk two steps before a Hunter pounced on me and proceeded to eat my face off.

Not a minute later, after I was resurrected/found in a closet, I was grabbed by a Smoker. Halfway down the tunnel, still being dragged, another hunter attacked me, and my face was eaten yet again.

My teammates don't stand very close to me anymore.

Looks like they don't watch your back enough...

>_>

Does this happen to any particular character or is it just "in general"?

Throwing a pipe bomb just as the Horde descends.

"Fetch doggy..fetch..."

Okay, Apartment Level, Expert difficulty, we are running down, doing alright and I say "Don't hit the car alarm."

Sure enough, they do. A swarm rushes out as I run to the safe room and slam the door shut. I see Black Guy running towards me with White Chick behind him and Prison Queen coming down the stairs. I open the door as Black Guy stands outside it and then WHOOSH he's dragged out by a smoker, which I promptly kill. He was knocked down by it so White Chick went to go help him. She ressed him and ran back into the safety of the safety room. Prison Queen was fending off the swarm at the steps this whole time, with only a shotgun and a molotov. As black guy gets in, we wait for Prison Queen. He finishes off the horde, and walks leisurely back to the room. I open the door for him when...

WHOOSH! A smoker grabs me and drags me out. I scream into the mic "NO! NOT AgAIN!" and am promptly rescued by prison queen. I run back to the saferoom but halfway there BAM a hunter comes out of nowhere and I'm pinned down. My friend shoots it off. I walk back when a lone zombie in the shadows hits and kills me.

I swear loudly as Prison Queen laughs, black guy is silent, and White Chick heals.

I encountered a totally fucked up glitch at one point.

It was dark.
And on expert.

We were making our way through the subway, all of us were red and we were approaching the second tier weapons. The music changes, and we're huddled around the weapons. Then we see a tank lumbering behind us, AND a boomer off to the side. The boomer vomits on Louis, and the tank charges us. Then I get hit by a hunter....and Zoey gets hit by a smoker.

Fuck you VALVe. I want my boss zombies one at a time.

well me and some freinds are playing and we got to the room where you have to throw that switch in order to open the gates and the horde attacks. One of our team go vomited on by a boomer so rest of us threw a combination of molytovs pipe bombs and shotgun shells at him. Needless to say he died in the resulting chaos. Somebody else got caught by a smoker and the third member got pinned by a hunter on his way to rescue the guy from the smoker. Then as the last member alive i get overwhelmed by a horde of flaming zombies and die a horrible horrible death. We all teared up in the shear domination that the zomnies had displayed.

Well, maybe I'm a dick, but hey, I did it with my friends and they took it in good sport.

So anyway, we spent the last hour or so trying to finish Expert mode and this time we managed to survive the horde onslaught at the end of the Subway level, but I was the only one left standing while all of my mates were piled near the staircase. A smile crept on my face as I hear them telling me to pick them up. I walked downstairs and went back to the tables and as luck would have it, there were still a few molotovs left, so I grabbed one and went back to my buddies. You can guess what happened next, one of them told me not to get strangled by a smoker, another one asked what I was up to, and one was laughing hysterically (Naturally, he was one of my brighter friends). They got the idea eventually when I pulled out the molotov, tossed it on them, and waited until the flames finished them off before making my way to the safe room. Ah, good times. Now I will wait for their revenge on Tuesday.

Anyone usually run away from a Tank only to have it kill itself? It's pretty much been a habit to run the fuck back to the beginning of the subway level once he's alerted, and jump back in the safe house. He then wanders around going "OMFG WHERE DID THEY GO?!" then runs into the fire near the beginning of the level, and then dies.

I've also noticed that once a Tank is on fire..he STAYS on fire.

I get hit by a hunter, saved, hit by a hunter, saved, hit by a hunter and knocked down, picked up, and a witch smacks me upside the head. I get saved again, but I'm on the whiteout thing, and a TANK pops up not three steps away. Does it kill me? No. My friends molotov to my spine does though.

Funny enough, if the Tank corners you while on fire... I think you take fire damage as well as getting smashed to bits by that steroid-pumping behemoth.

As for my funny moments, I'd have to say the many times that I've failed with others on Expert. One set of instances stand out: around the end of the first-half of the demo (where you have to descend down into the room, and then can go into the safehouse), the team I was playing with usually got owned. However, once in a while, one member still survive, just about to make a run for the safehouse... only to be dragged by a Smoker. Especially funny when ElArab had been able to get on top of traffic lights, being able to shoot the Infected without damage, only to be dragged away by a Smoker.

Fucking smokers.

Lol, oh man, I remember that one, surprised it slipped my mind, if my sister wasn't asleep in the room next-door I would have woken her up laughing, after my "OH GOD DAMNIT" of course. I use to think that light pole was more safe than the safehouse itself...

I was playing with friends on Expert, and all but me got wiped out by the tank in the subway. All 3 of them were in the respawn room under the final area, and I was running to let them out. About 2 steps from the door I get grabbed by a Smoker, and can't do anything about it. It was annoying, but one of those hilarious moments that makes the game awesome.

Demo, expert. Running up the escalators. Louis was on my left with 1hp, I saw a trash/rubbish bin fall over the side and the microphone piped up instantly "what the fuck was that?". He'd been killed a trash can that had been knocked over the side by a stumbling zombie! He was so badly injured he went straight to dead!

Go physics engine!

I've got two funny moments i think are good enough to share:

1) In the subway, go down the escalators and a tank bursts in and kills all three of my idiotic team mates. So I'm left to kill a tank on my own, not an endevour I was particularly looking forward to. I came up with a brilliant plan however and started running up and down the escalators and made sure the tank was always on the oposite side of a rail to me. So the whole thing turned into a sort of benny hill chase! I could almost hear the music in the background.

2) Also in the subway. Getting attacked by a HUGE swarm and i get grabbed by a smoker. So i was yelling for help over my mike. I got pulled past a corner and what should be there? Why a boomer of course ready with his zombie attracting vomit. so now I'm being strangeled and clawed to death by zombies. Well things couldn't get much worse. Then i hear the roar of a tank. Oh god!

This simple conversation was very funny at the time. We all died but it was very funny.

Me "Ah, witch, turn the flash lights off!"
Idiot "We have flash lights, sweet!"
Witch *RRRRAAAGHHHH!!!*
Team "Argh!"

Me and some friends were playing through the apartment level on Expert, some genius decided to shoot the car, we wait for the horde to come, but hear nothing, one guy walks back into the alley to make sure they aren't coming from behind us and gets snatched up by a smoker, but the fire escape is in the way so all the smoker can do is hang him there, one of us walks in and the same thing happens, except they get caught on the lip of the rooftop. One of us doesn't even get to the alley before being lifted by a smoker and caught on an awning. Suddenly and boomer comes around the corner, the horde rushes out as it explodes on me, a tank comes with them, and my teamates sit in their elevated positions as they get a front seat to my death, laughing their asses off.

EDIT: Almost forgot, near the end of the demo, one of us got Boomered and a bunch of zombies rushed out of the "Safe" room. AI glitch FTW.

Playing on expert in the first level (Apartment).

We barely made it through (It was my first time on expert) and I was hobbling down the stairs to the safe room. Everyone was behind me and some joker decided to trigger the car alarm (Which we had managed to avoid). So, in my fear of death, I threw a molotov at the bottom of the stairs, leaving a wall of fire between my companions and safety. I was ok, though, and just ran/limped into the room, shut the door, and grabbed a health pack.

Few seconds later, I'm still the only one in the room...

"The Survivors Escaped!"

Sweet.

I have two

Only three of us left on expert and all on low health and just about to enter last safe room. They all thought "Finally beaten it on expert!" Then a boomer spawn and covers one of us, another thrwos a molotov which another tries to run though and swarms finihs off the rest.

Same place but just before the horde come in i set of the gas canisters and we have a perfect defense- then a smoker grabs me and drags me though the fires i had just started. Ouch

Expert 2nd part

Running to the safe room after letting go of the minigun. I hop up the steps my teammates behind me when out of the top windows a horde rush comes. I have no ammo in my hunting rifle so I take out my pistol and shoot the gas tank on the side. It explodes on my mates as I run into the safe room to get killed by a hunter who was hideing there. Safe room safety FTW...

Near the end on expert, I was on the mounted gun and my teammates were around while one guy pulled the thing to get the zombies to come. Then on his way back to our safe place I see him pick up on of the gas canisters and he puts it down in the middle of our entire team. Zombies come, he fire as it and kills all 3 of us, he lives. He ran up to the safe room and escaped while everyone else's corpses burned.

I was in the subway level, after going up the escalators to the wrecked train we were fighting a couple of zombies. One of the zombies for some reason thinks that it would be a good idea to jump and climb up upon a sign that is hanging from the ceiling. I run up to it, jump and melee it, whilst it falls I shoot it in the head with a shotgun and send it ragdolling onto the tracks. It was very satisfying and I wished I had fraps'ed it. This game is an amazing stress reliever, just too bad that I'm a bit short of money and can't afford the £30 to buy it... I wouldn't mind as much if the demo didn't expire too.

Second time I played the demo, It was with 3 complete strangers. Everybody's hesitant to open the door to start the mission. I go down the stairs first, etc, bla bla bla. We get near the safe house, when the chick is getting "raped" by a hunter. PrisonPants and I (Louis) go help her, while the old bastard is undecided if he should leave the Safe House or not. We get beaten to death by the zombies as we try to help her (it was an actual Zerg Rush type thing). The old guy closes the door and started laughing, while the chick said "Great job, guys". Not very funny now, but it was damn funny then.

I was playing the demo with my friend, I see the witch. It was my first time playing, so I shoot her. She goes apeshit, downs me, and I'm desprately emptying pistol clips into her when my friend says "Hey, don't you think the Team Fortress 2 medic looks like Colbert?"

It would be nice if Valve let the demo available.

Nevertheless, I can't wait to get my hands on the full version.

As for an "Oh Sh*t!" moment...I guess it's "Tanks can break the safe room doors!"
