I think no, because the PS3 doesn't come standard with a headset. Yes I do realize that the Arcade doesn't come with a headset.

When I got my 360 Pro in 2006, it didn't come with a headset either, so what's your point?

They should just do a version of it with a headset pack-in...

Best way to play is with everyone in the same room.

And if the headset is the main issue trust me. PC players don't use it very often, and it kills the game for the most part. It's not fun when nobody is saying anything.

What do you mean PC gamers dont use it much, its used a great deal in L4D on the PC.

not many people have headsets so idk. but honestly i didn't like the game that much. i mean its decent, but overrated. anyway, back on topic: yeah, l4d will technically work if valve made it. but dont know about the whole co op feel since PSN users rarely talk.

Of all the randoms I have played with maybe 30% talked and even then they only started when they were being torn apart. I have a huge amount of time on the PC version.

Only time my team uses mics is when it's my friends all playing it.

Is there a reason it wouldn't work? :|

Besides, you do realize that you can use any cheap ass USB headset from Wal-Mart or any Bluetooth headset with your PS3... so what's the problem...

Does that stop you from playing the game? I used to play Unreal Tournament GOTY Edition on the PC all the time and it didn't even support voice chat but it didn't bother anyone. :| And a lot of the people with mics don't even talk on 360 and PS3, so who cares. There's still no reason why Left4Dead wouldn't work well on the PS3, especially if they bundled it with a headset like Warhawk or Socom Confrontation

Except you can't sit down and play with 4 people on one console. You would need at least 2 consoles as the game only has dual split screen. And the PC version has split screen also. So you lose this one.

Technically it would be a challenge to make it look identical to the 360 version because they would need to do the whole cell thing but it's possible

This is a horrible argument. I have L4D on the 360 and regardless of whether or not you think every LIVE user has a headset, not even near to half of the people you will play with in a pug will use their headset. I've joined many pugs in which I was the only one using a hs.

In any case, you will meet people or know people who own a hs and use it. Same thing applies to PS3 online as well.

True enough but running into someone with a headset is a lot more reliable on 360 or PC. A lot of people don't even own one on PS3 so even your friends may not have one. I will admit that not everyone has one on 360 or PC but it's not hard to find people that do.

Actually, I find it to be true that most if not all of my friends have bluetooth headsets especially with the required hs rule while on the phone when driving in Cali law.

As awesome as that is, not everyone on a PS3 is from Cali as I'm sure you know :P That is good though but I don't think Valve will ever develop for PS3 though, EA will have to get someone else to do it.

Yea, I guess chances are a little better. I'm guilty of not using my hs if I don't know anyone when playing a game on consoles. I guess I just haven't seen too much of a difference between the amount of people using and not using a hs between consoles, especially when it comes to FPS. Anywhooo, we all probably play w/ friends who we know have hs anyways when we get the chance to.

No it was purchased brand new from EB. I live in Australia, and here, at least at the time I bought my 360 (now on my 3rd :evil: ) it did NOT come with a headset.

I purchased a wireless 360 headset separately and got a wired headset when I purchased my Gold XBL membership (as a package also with 200 MS Points).

while in co-op modes having mics helps cause communication is 'essential', i've been in many games on L4D where the other guys didnt have mics or else we just didnt chat... i still had fun in those games...

Sometimes i've been in games where everyone had mics but they just couldnt care lessabout working as a team and everyone rushed on his own... so in that case mics were practically useless..

this war has hit the ultimate stalemate.

Seriously, we're counting pixels, discussing quite similar controllers as if they're from different planets and "it does'nt come with a headset" is now sw ammo.

yeah that's really annoying, fifa 10 vs 10 can be one of the worst experiences ever, people just running off the pitch or 4-5 people running after the ball and shooting from anywhere, really annoying. it's funny on the pc version of l4d when a guy says ok there's a witch up ahead get the shotguns ready, and some guy just runs ahead and shines a torch on her and get's killed. or when people run off from the group and just get's killed by a horde of zombies somewhere.
