I joined the WFC Steam group before we even knew it was coming to Steam. Thanks for letting me know it's out!

Let us all know if the xbox controller will work. The packaging only mentions keyboard and mouse setups.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed on the controller.

Doesn't mention it on the Steam site either, so I guess you can't. Don't worry, you can use WASD and your mouse, like a regular PC shooter. ;;)

Actually, I can't. I've tried it countless times and I just don't have the ability. I'm much better with a controller than a WASD+Mouse set up.

And I've found out that I'm one of a countless many who can't use anything but the controller.

However, I read that IGN's hands on preview of the PC version did, in fact, use the controller during their evaluation of the game.

Plus, there's XPadder, Joy2Key, and other programs like it, so I'm not too worried.

If you can use WASD+Mouse, great. If you're like me and need the use of a controller, that's great too.

I believe there's no right way to play the game, only that you should have fun doing it.

Er...if anyone needs to lighten up, I'd say it's you. None of my post was pissy or rant filled or even angry.

I was just stating why I can't use anything but the controller, and then made a personal statement on the Keyboard vs controller battle that's been going on for years.

This is what I've heard from several people while play L4D on Steam:

U R A F*KIN MORON D00D! U USE A PAD? GO PLAY IT ON A CONSOLE P*SSY! U F*KIN WIT DA PURITY OF DA GAME! WASD 4 LYFE BYTCH!


And then I've had people scream at me over their headsets because they believe I lack the "$k!llz" to play and that using a gamepad hampers their efforts because they have to take it down a notch to accommodate me.

I find it ridiculous. It's just a video game. It's meant to be fun. All in fun, always. That's why I said if a person can use the keyboard, great. If they need a controller, that's great too.

I'm just amazed that grown adults get angry over video games, and how they're played.

Even kids must look at us and say "You're a moron, sir. Good day."

#-o Not sure where that came from, especially how you denied making a rant-filled post and then, er, made a rant-filled post. I see what you mean, though.

Anyway, thanks for letting us know, sparty!

My second post was closer to a rant than the first one was. The first one was not at all what you thought it was.

Anyway, I've said my piece, we should drop it, I suppose.

Sorry if I annoyed you, man. Too bad there's no goodwill/handshake smiley!

I'm not sure if I'll get it off Steam or pick up a boxed copy in the coming weeks. I guess it depends on if my buddy's excited enough to Steam it and gift me a copy and have me pay him back so we can get get warring for Cybertron tonight!

No harm. We're fine.

As for Steam...can Steam players access the servers and players on the XBox 360 and PS3? Or do we all have our own little piece of the world when it comes to this stuff? I'm very much a n00b when it comes to MMO kinda stuff. Or gaming online, period.

If a game supports cross-platform multiplayer, you can access it from you computer, no problem. Though for many reasons, a lot of new games don't support cross-platform multiplayer, which is somewhat of a downer.

Does the L4D franchise allow cross-platform?

Okay, I just got back from the Steam forums. You can use a gamepad to play if you want, so plug 'er in and take 'em down!

BUT, what I have learned is that there is a slew of problems in the lazy PC port:

    No multiplayer chat. No voice, no text. If you're playing with just your friends, I guess that's not MUCH of an issue thanks to Ventrillo/Teamspeak/etc, but there's no reason for us NOT to be able to reach our teammates in-game. Hell, even a voice command list would be better than nothing.
    In terms of graphics, you can only change the resolution and texture quality. Also, framerate is locked at 30FPS.
    No dedicated servers, but you saw that one coming.
    There will be no DLC for the PC port.
    There is ONE set of controls and they CANNOT BE CHANGED. Here are some screenshots of the control screens: http://img821.imageshack.us/g/twfc2010062215384847.png/ There is a third-party solution, though: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/s ... ?t=1319047 for the keyboard, and I think Xpadder for the gamepad. Luckily, they allowed for look inversion control in all modes: http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn29 ... reenie.png

EDIT: Whoops, hit Submit instead of Preview.

One last thing, for now. All these issues could theoretically be resolved by modifying an .ini file, but, of course, that file is encrypted, leaving us, the PC games, once more short on luck.

If you have a 360 or a PS3, I think you should get a copy for your console instead of the lazy PC port. I look at my bookshelf and see the box I kept of one of my all-time favourite games, Activision's MechWarrior 2. I guess now they really don't care about their PC players any more. Our loss.

Where did they confirm no DLC? Yes the no in game chat sucks and I really dont understand, but I think we have a large enough community here that we could make it work if we really tried...

They confirmed it here: https://activision.custhelp.com/cgi-bin ... _topview=1

As for that "big enough community," they didn't care with all the players demanding dedicated servers for their Call of Duty game. They won't care about us.
