L4D is one of the hardest games ever on the hardest setting? I mean...I can not beat a full level for nothing. Me and my 2 boys "all of us are good gamers" just cant seem to do it. My oldest son has even tried online and they failed time after time.

Kill a boomer...hunter gets you...kill the hunter smoker gets you...Kill one...another comes back almost instatly. And Tanks!!...Good LORD it takes a thousand rounds to kill a Tank..

I have been gaming since 1980 and have yet to find a game with so much chanllenge..

Yeah, it's hard as hell. I can make it through the first four levels by myself, but the finale is just insane. The first tank kills at least two of my bots, and second one always wipes me out. You need four good players to beat an Expert level, and even then not everyone makes it out, like me.

This guy was nice enough to include his Gamertag on his GameSpot profile, and...no, he hasn't beat any campaigns on Expert.

Funny how he can say those games are harder without ever beating L4D on expert. Well guess what it's just as hard because you didn't beat it either.

My brother and I are pretty slick at the game. Currently my bro phynixwhite is hard at work at CoD:WaW, so we get less time together against the horde. We intend to get ourcrap together and give it a go. We got to the very end of No Mercy on Expert. First tank killed me. Third (possibly fourth, too hectic to count) nailed my brother, who martyred himself so the other two dudes we were playing with could get the achievement before they had to go away for the week. I was insanely aggravating at times, but pretty fun.

Seriously, take this from someone who gets his lulz from trolling people. That guy is a troll, A bad one too. Best to ignore. Every time you speak to him, or even about him, he gets to lulz even harder. That post was supposed to aggravate. nothing else.

You hurt me there Palantas. I make a mockery of myself constantly. That's why I am refered to as a fool. Either way, ignoring the real idiots is simpler then arguing with them, at least when it comes to the videogame world.

It is difficult. The fact that old games were released apparently without any playtesting and demanded speedrunner like zeal to even beat doesn't change the fact that Left 4 Dead is difficult on Expert.

I think Left 4 Dead is a lot harder after the update. Not sure if they did anything to the difficulty, it's just now crazy hard to down a tank. I beat Blood Harvest on Expert with 3 other friends with not to much difficulty. We just attempted to go though Death Toll today and at the train yard we got our butts handed to us. We gave up after and hour.

I have beaten all the campaigns on expert, its hard, but not impossble.

The trick is having everyone stand right next to eachother at all times. and If you have less then 50 health at a save room- kill yourself. Cause you start with 50 health anyway, at the beginning of each chapter.

Left 4 Dead on expert is difficult, but seems to get easier as you get aqainted with a map. I keep finding spots lately that I noticed a tank can't follow me into, I even found a spot once in versus that made a great hiding spot for Special Infected, I remembered it and later used the memory of those good infected spots to avoid ambushes. The real issue it the fact that sometime too many Special infected come at once. When you are dealin with high damage horde, even a Hunter and a Smoker can team wipe. I feel they went a little overboard with the damage, but it is manageable still.

If at first you don't secceed... cheat. There are certain little tricks that will bibass hordes, manuver you around crouded areas, and even let you get through finallies without being touched. I'm sure they are all out there on youtube, look em up. Note: they may be tricky to do, but you will just have to sacrifice time rather than have your brains ripped out. Brought to you by pancakes, yummy with syrup.

All I need help with is the tanks at the finale. I can make it through the other levels on Expert by myself.
