I've started downloading the demo, but as I was playing COD4, didn't finish.

I'll defo be getting this though. Still got some store credit at CEX and COD:WAW is one to skip for me.

Played it, loved it. Will eddfinately be getting this.

One thing theyve put in that Rich will like (and should be used everywhere, live included) is the steam cloud option, where all your settings are uploaded and shared between all your (FPS) games. Top idea.

Hectic zombie blasting action - gonna get a lot of fun out of this.

I thought there were some settings in Live dashboard where you can specify things like Southpay, Invert Y-Axis etc?  Obviuosly it is not used by games makers these days.
Even with my eyes open; I still can't see a thing....

Is it an online-only demo?

Why would you want to play it on your own? It's a game made for a co-op experience. I had a go on my own (just getting used to the controls) and it's good, but pointless if you don't have friends to play with.

It's not always a case of want, but I didn't know if you could.

The AI's good enough for it to be a single player game - sure its main style is 4 real players, but it plays an enjoyable game in solo.

Downloaded and played through it last night and it is very much made of 100% win. Although the team AI is functional, there were too many cases when I felt they just didn't follow me quick enough. Obviously this wont be as much of a problem when playing with others. That said, they are on the ball whenever you get incapacitated and very quick to save you.

Up for some online later if anyone else is about.

Downloaded, feels like a royal romp waiting to happen. If anyone is around for a game sometime, let me know.
