perhaps someone can help me with online play?

well i went to play online, and as the game started i got disconnected, something having to do with a LAN? i run on cable alone, no other computers connected to it, so how can it be considered LAN?

It's your Local Area Network

yeah i know that, but why would that be a problem? i mean i can play any other online game, but why would i have a problem with it for this?

they have a problem with cable or what?

last i checked every cable n dsl was a LAN, so why is it im having this issue

nevermind, finally found a support post about it on their forums.

It may have something to do with the other players. I tried to play with one of my friends and it wouldn't let me because our NATs had conflict with one another.

Imho i think it is one of the best Co-op games so far what ive just experienced out from the demo... i preorder'ed over steam and have played the demo since 6th november with my friends :P were playing on expert (hardest difficulty) and we wished that were a harder difficulty because expert have become to easy xD.

Also know for a fact, that you can play something called Versus mode, where some play the zombie bosses and some human but is first released in full version tho

The only downside is that if there isn't anyone to play with, I don't really see myself enjoying this game that much alone.

Yeah playing on sp isnt that much fun, and playing online with random people can get frustrating because its a team game.. you play online and people run off, die and expect you to save them :P

Im def getting this game though, Ive preordered it.. Great graphics and AI
