Left 4 Dead has serious potential

Mike Booth’s Turtle Rock Studios is responsible for this game’s development, which is currently slated to be released on the Xbox 360 and PC. And it’s honestly my most anticipated game right now, which sucks because there is no set release date for the title.
Now I love me some zombies, but for me the most appealing aspect of L4D is the multiplayer campaign and deathmatch modes. Turtle Rock Studios is really trying to create a new style of co-op by overrunning players with hordes of zombies, thereby forcing them to work as a team. This should make for genuinely unique co-op gameplay or at least cause a lot of squabbling amongst teammates. Good times. Adding to all this goodness is the AI monitoring system, which will generate zombies based on player/team productivity. This means that the enemies aren’t assigned to single locations on the map and players can’t determine where the zombies will come from, no matter how many times they play a level. This should give it good replay value. Read the rest…

Supported control styles
- Southpaw
- Legacy
- SP Legacy
**Well geez I am just a royal F’up as of late, but I am human (maybe) and I have made a huge oversight with Frontlines. Apparently this game does not support Legacy or SP Legacy control schemes but it DOES support Southpaw, I garauntee it!
I have the game loaded in my 360 right now and as 2Three mentioned it was easy to make this mistake. NEVER is my 20 years of gaming have I seen anything like this, I don’t understand who KAOS studios was talking to and perhaps there was a crossed line in development but the options for Legacy and Southpaw Legacy are anything but. Again what you’ll find is these options only switch a couple of button functions essentially creating button map variations of Southpaw and default control styles.
Although my apologies do not make up for the loss of your hard earned money, I offer it to all of you Legacy players that purchased this game only to be let down. I would also like to thank the members that brought this issue to our attention, without all of you maintaining accurate data would be next to impossible.
I am currently attempting to contact someone at KAOS studios regarding this issue because I really believe this is a crossed wire in develpment and KAOS Studios had every intention of including these neglected control options. Expect updates to follow.
