I recently purchased the PC version of Left 4 Dead and it has been a blast. As you know by my previous post, I played and really enjoyed the now-deactivated demo which did a great job of promoting the game in my opinion. The full version of the game, just as I expected, is every bit as fun as the demo and has in store many more surprises. Some of the later levels in the game have been really fun to play, and thus far the latency and performance has been nothing short of great.
As of today, however, I just came across a really cool feature I'd like to share with you all: Splitscreen mode in the PC version! Yes, you read that correctly. In the PC version only, it's possible to activate splitscreen mode and play together with someone who is using (preferably) an XBOX 360 controller!
How exactly does it work? And what exactly must you do to activate it? It will take you 5-10 minutes tops to implement it, and all the instructions you need can be found HERE.
Like I do with most of my other blog entries, I decided to go ahead and create a gameplay video showing this little trick in action. Please note that because I'm such a loser, I didn't have any family or friends on-hand to actually try it out with me, so in this video I just took turns using the 360 controller (bottom screen) and the standard mouse/keyboard PC combo (top screen) to show that they both work just fine.
Here's the video:
