What's your favourite memory playing Multi-Player with friends?
Co-op Carnage!
What was the best moment you've had with friends in a game? I have too many examples to count. Whether it’s the chaos of couch multiplayer games like Mario Kart or Super Smash Bros. or the frantic gunfights in Call of Duty and Battlefield. There have been so many over the years yet the one that really sticks in my mind for some reason is playing the original Left 4 Dead.
That game was, and still is, absolutely iconic. I feel it really defined the co-op FPS. Nothing can compare to the complete madness that ensues when one of your friends triggers a witch and starting a horde. You’re screaming expletives at your mates whilst at the same time smacking multiple zombies over the head with a baseball bat.
I have an extremely vivid memory of one run in Left 4 Dead where the aim of the campaign was to make your way through a Hospital to the roof. Easier said than done right?
Facing off against multiple hordes, getting jumped by a Hunter only to then have a Boomer explode all over you attracting yet another wave of zombies out for blood. Even with all this we would still aim to complete the campaigns on Expert and for the most part we were pretty good at it.
I distinctly remember getting to the top of the roof of the Hospital and finishing off the final horde. The 4 of us screaming and running towards the helicopter, I turn around briefly for a second only to see a Tank come out of absolutely nowhere smacking one of my friends into oblivion. I continue running whilst literally in tears with laughter having never seen anything so funny in my life. Needless to say he wasn’t best pleased!
That will forever stick out in my mind as a highlight of my early days on, what was back then Xbox Live. Do you have any memories that stick out in your mind?
