Don't get left 4 dead

Don't get left 4 dead

Whats up with that? It makes it look like you saying don't get the game when i comes out. When I first clicked o the link to this website on google. I was wondering what are they are saying about the game trying to make people believe it won't be worth it. But soon ending is about game, when is it going to be released, etc.

Its just a play on words.

I'm sure AzH or CAW could explain further as they came up with it.

I came up with it. The idea behind the game is escape and survival. It's about not getting Left 4 Dead. If you have a better suggestion for a tagline I'm listening.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back out.

I actually only thought of it like that when you made it your thread title. Seeing as it's the title to a forum devoted to the game wouldn't it seem highly unlikely that we'd be telling people not to get it?

I don't have a problem with it as I understood it's meaning from the beginning but if modification is required it could be changed to: "Don't become Left4Dead", or something.

Oh come on, put some effort into it at least. "Just when you though it was safe to go back out (multiple horror movies), into the water (Jaws), into the Jungle (Rambo), etc era". Yeah that one is a little bit over used.

I knew it was familiar!!

Don't make it "Don't become left 4 dead"... It just doesn't flow.

And that leads me to another point (bow before my awesome segue):
The tagline doesn't have it capitalised "Left 4 Dead" it has "left 4 dead"

But the bottom line is, I think, that no matter what the tagline it won't appeal to everyone... Damn you free will!!!

What about a change to "Left 4 Dead message boards".

Oh ya, fuck editing, but the reason I included 'Left 4 Dead' in the title is it's keywords and places well in search engines.

Whoa. I didn't think it possible to use "hate" so many times in one sentence without saying you hate something... Its... Awe-inspiring LoL.
