Xbox360 solution (to no new levels from modding,etc.) Suggestion to TRS!!!

[Etheallmighty]

TRS should include kinda what bungie did on Halo3, where it says "bungie recommentds" and you can download maps and stuff....they should have a section like that on L4D only on the xbox360 version, and it has the maps/maybe modds people are playing from the PC version. well the good ones at least.....

it wouldn't cost anything to download a map cause it's not like they made it, just ones they've played and thought were cool and would like to share (how bungie did it)..........(I know when they come out with their new maps I'm buyin them 4 sure, but this is just for in the meantime)


now I'm not sure exactly how they'd put it from the PC to download from LIVE, but I don't think it would be hard.



it probably won't happen, but I just got excited thinking about it. ;-)

Or you could toss your console and buy a PC... you know, that thing FPS games were made to be played on... =P

They call me Zin'Rohk, Destroyer of Worlds.

I'm really hoping the next generation of consoles has games that work with both a controller, and a mouse+keyboard combo. Giving people the option to choose which controller to play the game with would rock, as I like anything aside from FPS games on a controller.

Hey globalenjoi , if you're just going to start this whole pc vs. console thing all over again then don't bother posting at all.

I agree, it would be very nice to be able to download fan made maps, mods, etc. But I'm sure it won't be in the game.

I'm not starting anything... I jokingly made a comment about it, which would've been made anyway. That's all.

Well what did you expect, it's a topic on another 360 problem. Getting it for PC is not only better, because it automatically solves many of the problems the 360 version faces, it's also on a PC. So therefore, he proposed the most conclusive answer, can't say the same for you.

Btw, can't you just plug in a mouse and keyboard and play? Like on the PS3... Pfft, can't afford PC, but you can afford to pay however much for the Xbox and Xbox live, and continue to pay it to get updates.

[POTTENI]

really, do you have to start this? Just let it go.

Wtf are you on anyway?

[gorgoth]

Yeah, I've always wanted to plug a keyboard into my Xbox, god knows it'd make typing easier. I don't think it can handle it... yet! Also, if people are so obsessed about consoles, why do we have them posting here on a forum? Oops, I guess you still need PC's. This is why PC vs. Console is stupid. Whatever you may prefer for gaming, PC's are better.

*cough, bullshit, faggot, cough*

Uhmmm ok now that my throat is cleared.

PC's arent better, its what a person prefers. Just cause you prefer pc over console it doesnt mean pc's are the best. Besides, they have more crashing problems and viruses and blah blah blah which means more money to waste.


Back on topic, I agree they should do something like that with halo 3

[gorgoth]

I said PC's were better, but not for gaming. I said that they have more capabilities, and therefore are, well better. Plus you can make a PC as good as you want, so PC could be a shitty 3 year old Dell or a supercomputer that cost thousands of dollars. So, PC's ARE better, but not in every way. Consoles are better for some things. Besides, I own both, so I feel confident in saying I know which is more reliable etc.

Oh, and I'm not gay

lol I own both also, a really good comp that I fixed up (Finally) and a console. So consoles are better imo. im O (OPINION) *IN MY OPINION* (**((*()**(( IMO&&()&*)(*)(*)&

lol and no I was calling you gay, GAY, it was meant in another way :P
Nothing personal

ok PS3 is a big rip off(my opinion) 500$ for a xbox 360 and wii wanna be..it has the fucking spider-man font...(sry i have isses with the console)

and a pc is waaayyy more then a xbox360 and yes you can plug a key board in.....

oh ya i do hate paying live(witch isnt much per year) but its way better then the ps3 servers wow u wouldnt beleive

[Etheallmighty]

WTF i come back "oooooh 14 replies maybe people are praising me for my grand idea"!!!
but noooo....


us console people didn't say shit and all the PC people can do to respond to my idea is to randomly start to vent out of nowhere about their superiority.......this is my most meaningful topic in a while cause this idea gets me excited (again I know it probably won't happen but still)
....come on guys,seriously.



p.s.- at the bottom of the page it says LOCK TOPIC, is that there cause I'm the thread maker or what??.....never noticed that

[tripp36]

I LOVE YOUR IDEA!!! i want it now and i need it...lol but dude rele ur idea is awsome i wish theyd do it

First of all, you cant make your own maps in Halo3. You can only add more weapons and items to the maps and maybe some objects. But you cant modify terrain or make maps from empty.

Even if L4D bundled with a developer's kit, saving the maps would become an issue. TRS or Valve would have to provide servers to save the maps to. And you would also have to convert the PC mods to work in the Xbox360 version. Not really possible, or at least extremely hard to do.

[tp500]

Id be fine with a steady stream of good quality maps from TRS if I buy it for 360.

I really think they should start a 360 and a PC section so that people who play 360 wont be hassled by most of these stupid arrogant sit on my computer chair and tell you how much better I am and how you fail and give you stupid hand to face pictures pc freaks. It's not all of you, but it's only the teens from like 15 and upwards. The older guys on here are fine, they dont start blabbering on about YOU SHOULD SMASH YOUR XBOX AND GET A PC! No, but you idiots do. Some people like playing with a console where they can bring a few friends over, sit down, get some pizza and enjoy a few quick rounds of anything before they go off and do whatever they have to do. I know thats why I have a console. Im sick of seeing topics on here about the people who plan on buying L4D on 360 get fuckin hassled by idiots. And I know that once I post this you guys are going to shrug it off and start putting You Fail, and stupid pictures to show me how SUPERIOR WE ARE and how "flawed" my rant is. But seriously, to the moderators, please make an Xbox section. Im tired of this.

[Puscifer]

PC's ARE TEH BEST LALALALAAAA

[USS_Stud]

I wouldn't say PCs are better or made to play games (mainly FPS) on. But definately easier. My friend bought C&C3 for 360... The LOLs commenced.

This is the real problem... You honestly can't say consoles are better than PC. You can't. It's a losing arguement. That's like saying Wii is better than 360/PS3 or ... FWD is better than RWD/AWD. Of course they have different purposes... but just don't, you'll look like an idiot.

[Punisher 36O]

ok, how about this, we xbox fans aint guna stop posting coz PC players are talking shit, not posting stuff like this isnt the solution. want to kno what is. . . .

if u see a topic with xbox in the title. . . and u dont own, like or want an xbox, just dont enter it, coz we arnt all siting in here talking about u i promis.

and that is a cool idea, i liked the Forge thing in Halo3 was cool.

Exactly, keep the "PC" is better bullshit in a "PC is better (bullshit)" thread

It would be funny if the xbox version of l4d had a forge type of thing like Halo

[Punisher 36O]

well, i mean this game sounds near perfect the way it is to me, but some customization would be cool. failing that new maps for a long time. i hope they keep the new maps coming for years.

[The One]

till they come out with a left 8 dead or something

[Dead Fish]

I will make some maps for you, so you don't get bored.

[USS_Stud]

I don't think it's it's the "PC fanboys" or the "360 fanboys" fault. It's the "guy who takes the comment like a cock in the ass"s fault. *coughpottenicough*
Look at these guys. They're able to express their opinions and say why they think which is better without insulting each other or being at each other's throats about it.

Also...
I hope the game will be remodel-friendly. So there'll be no consistency errors. I really want an SAS model, for Bill and Louis or something..

Tha'ts irrelevant, I was just saying, because I have no experience with the 360 and M&K, if it was capable like the PS3 is.

PS3 ain't really a 360 wanna-be, I can understand the Wii part because of the Six-axis coming out of no where, but now that there's Dualshock 3 I could care less.

Srry for double post, I was meaning to put this in the post above >.<

Why would that be funny? The PC version would be put in GMod, and have an SDK... If you find it being pathetically inadequate to the PC version funny then.. well going ahead and laugh your ass off. In fact, laugh your ass off when we get Rat maps, RPG, Superhero, Matrix and maybe even GG mods.

Sadly, the 'superior' is hardly ever defined by preference in the case of Consoles vs. PC... 'Preference' only takes a role when the Console party has run out of cards and doesn't want to consider facts.

It also bugs me that '3 Year old Dells' are permitted into the arguement against PC's, but almost no one on the PC 'side' has ever brought up decades old crap console failures. Mainly because: they don't need to.

[globalenjoi]

I'm really not claiming one to be better than the other. I don't even care if Xbox players and PC players can or cannot play together. But how can you sit and expect to get everything PC gamers get on the PC on your cheaper, less powerful console? Sure, it'd be neat, but as someone else said, there would have to be servers to host the files and mod conversions would be extremely tough. It just won't happen. This is where the PC wins in the argument. It's made for stuff like this, and has been for a long time now.

As expensive as consoles are getting, and the more they become like PC's, it won't be long before the whole argument is over with anyway. I can't see XBOX and Playstation going much further before becoming PC's. (HOORAY FOR NINTENDO!!)
