Now I'm being tempted to go back and play again. I loved this game.

If you want to team up send me an invite. I've played some online, but only with folks I didn't know.

I heard there's a Game of the Year edition coming out in the UK. Damn now I want to wait around and see if it's released here. Unless of course it gets dirt cheap.

same here lol

One thing is for sure. The game is no pushover once you get into it. I've been making my way through (at around 46% of the main story and at lvl 30) but the game is getting pretty difficult at this point. I'm guessing the point is you are supposed to team up with others if you want to make progression easier. Still having a blast, but dying is now becoming a frequent reality as opposed to the first 10 levels or so where I had no problems staying alive.

I had almost the exact opposite experience in that as I leveled up it got easier well up the last final push that is. Three words, old smoky machete

[moycon]

Old Smoky ? Where do you find one of these and what does it do?
Right now my primary weapon is a High Voltage Gold Cane Cutter that I made, with several other electrified machetes as back up.
I died around a half dozen times today. I get surrounded my mobs of the dead and no amount of swinging helps at that point! LOL

Edit: Ah I looked it up. I haven't made it to the jungle yet. I do have the quest where I have to do some spying which is how you get the Ol Smoky mod, so I imagine it'll come soon. Hope it helps!

When in dire peril, jump onto dumpsters or cars and start kicking like a madman.

Yeah broken down ambulances are a life saver! Problem is wouldn't have helped in the least today. I was on the last mission where you have to turn on loud speakers throughout the city. I was very close to the first speaker, in the center of town (the third part of the quest) . Never actually saw it, because the path was taking me into a building, and about 3 infected (Those crappy zombies that run at you at top speed) came at me as soon as I entered the room. I killed them all, started to follow the path again, and got hit, two more infected had entered the room, I killed them, turned around and started follwing the path, got hit a again, 3 more infected and finally took me out. I respawned, and continued back on my way, exact same thing happened. Respawned started back in I figured I'd killed around a 16 of them or more, they have to eventually stop. Nope, got hit again by these guys and again. 4 deaths in like 2 minutes, the hilarious part is, that quest is considered Medium. I think maybe I just really suck.

Based on what has been said, looks like this game is worth buying as long as it has an easy difficulty.

Old smokey is a mod you make to a weapon. I don't remember where I found it, but it's one of the more used ones I got. Some mods you get for doing missions, others you just find lying around. Look for what looks like a rolled up piece of paper, and be sure to loot everything you can, especially computers, as some of these mods want lots of batteries, wires and duct tape.

Hated those loudspeaker missions. At least one you find on the ground, but it's not obvious how you get to it, you got to knock crap out of the way and crawl under some stuff to get to it.

[moycon]

Since getting the Old Smokey mod (after spying in the jungle) the game has indeed seemed to get easier.

That loudspeaker quest sucks though. I was on a dumpster trying to get to the next speaker, which was also right across from an infected spawn point, and they never did stop spawning.
I had a big pile of infected at the base of the dumpster before I decided to just run for it.
Difficulty : medium.... my ass.

Has anyone played it on easy? How much easier is it than medium difficulty?

There is no main game setting. The quests you get are marked by the difficulty. The loud speaker quest was labled Medium and was a side quest. Really the game isn't all that hard I suppose. You can pretty much just outrun just about everything in the game. What made that tough for me is that infected run at you at full speed at all times, you can knock them back but they screem and run right back at you so an unlimited supply of them is pretty tough to deal with especially in close quarters.

[Numan]

I played through this 2 or 3 times. The developer's weapons are a must have.
