did i mention how fun this game is?

It's really freaking fun (even on 360 with the clunky controls - you can melee well enough for it to be enjoyable)



...too bad nobody cares and wants to play MW2 instead :lol

I play on 360... and my usual gang is usually playing MW 2. :(

I am so going to try by myself soon. I'm only missing The Real Deal and Still Something to Prove. You inspired me <3

BTW, Red, I finished watching. Some of you guys sure know how to keep the pressure! I was like, "Goddamn, I would've probably been dead way before that if I played them." Nice Boomer near the Witch in the sewers, BTW :D Didn't think you'd actually pull it off.

d and I weren't playing, just spectating and commentating/blabbing to each other. The one from last night I did play, though.

We will be doing another scrimmage later this week in Left 4 Dead 2 (Dead Center) and then maybe another scrim in L4D1 after. If you can, try hopping in the server for L4D1 as Vert has 2 spectator slots. Also, you should try playing with us sometime.

He doesn't have it for computer, main reason I'm .avi'ing some of them. :(

:lol how was she buffed exactly? And I know why I fell off the roof on level 4 now! I was kind of by the edge, heard something and turned around, then walked backward at an angle so that I completely missed the last "house" and fell right off onto the street.

On level 1, I totally forgot about that alarm car. And I still don't know what the other team used on level 1..looked like a fire cannon + molotov? Maybe someone got a fire round for a grenade launcher and someone tossed a mol/gas can at the same time.

I've come across a glitch yet (8X) again on the Carnival finale (X).
I activated the light switch, had everyone kill all infected and set up at the top left corner of the stadium. Stood on stage and cycled through taunts, laughs, hurrahs and ready a couple of times. Activated the switch, went through the staircase to left of the stage then went up to regroup and the heli appeared.
Could be just me but someone else mind trying this out?
I'll try it again having someone else just activate the switch but could my account be glitched?
If so then it's a shame because IMHO this is the best finale in the entire game.

Why do so many fucking tards play expert realism. I'm near fucking crying with frustration trying to play through an entire campagin on expert realism. Isn't the natural course to first learn the other campaign modes before you go to expert realism. But there seem to be so many fucking morons that go straight to expert realism.

They probably consider themselves hardcore to the max so don't feel the need to first learn the other modes first. Then there's the achievement hunters.

I've seen the early heli glitch. Seems to be random. Or it's an admin activating it early assuming they can do that.

What happen on that first map on dark carnival? In the dem, I think Nab disturbed witch, but then both Nabs and Vert went down.

It doesn't show who startled her, so maybe I did, but Nabs shot her so the witch went after him, then vert shot the gas can? and the witch went after him afterward? I DON'T KNOW IT WAS CRAZAY.

I remember failing miserably at crowning her and having link talk loads of shit on me. Then link goes up against the buffed witch and fails even worse by dying to her :lol

Witch went for both us for sure. Don't know why....I think I might have accidentally buffed her even more than normal :lol

Normal buffs are that she gets pissed off fast as fuck, and has a larger pissed off range. And she does more damage when slashing the incapped survivor.

Learned of another glitch. On final of Dark Carnival jump on the tractor then from that onto the wood slabs and turn off your flashlights and absolutely no horde or tanks will appear throughout the entire event. Incredibly cheap and sure to get patched soon.

Saw an aimbotter today in a Dead Center campaign. What surprised me is he still kept getting incapped a lot and he doesn't seem to have fine control of the aimbot because he kept friendly fire shooting us. He just seems to point in a direction and the aimbot headshots everything in sight which often included us.

After playing so many kit-infested games recently, it was a pleasure to play on your server Vert.

Played with a little girl gamer today that was really good in versus and she was coordinating everyone so well. We made the opposite team rage twice. Just goes to show if a little girl can be that good there's no excuse for being an idiot.

Edit: Well ok maybe I look down on people that aren't good on L4D too harshly. They aren't idiots. I have my bad days.

Yeah, like Red said, I don't have it for PC. My PC (from '05) has a whopping 504MB of ram and I suck with keyboard + mouse so hard; thus, I don't really enjoy gaming on it. I type like a clucking chicken and have to look at the keys :p Admittedly, I really want to try L4D/2 on PC but it's intimidating...and I'm unemployed...so no moniez for an upgrade =(

I was at Costco today, looking at the PCs and I think it was this one. Would that run L4D2 decently? Next time I'll take an index card and write the damn info down since I don't see NVidia on this one and am pretty I saw it on the one in-store.
If it wasn't apparent before: yes, I suck hairy ass with computers :p

BTW, that was a pretty awesome versus match you guys had on Dark Carnival. I didn't notice until the last chapter for some reason, but did you guys make it so you wouldn't get med-kits in safe rooms/elsewhere? There were some very cool incaps, too...haha.

I can't use the standard WASD either. RocketDarkness has some friends that use the 360 pad. And yeah, the vs we played was with some mod still being worked on in L4D2, similar to Frustian's Mod for L4D1. For 2, it's still being worked on but the main things are pills only and no defibs. Frustmod in 1 had stuff like tier 1 guns only (really though it was no Auto Shotty nor Assault Rifle until map #5), pills only, and a guaranteed Tank spawn on every map.

No, it has integrated video, you want something with a discrete video card.

Yeah, don't get integrated video..that's why I couldn't play Counter-Strike from 2003 until 2008. My computer cost half the price of that Costco one, so for the price of that Costco one you could get a much better computer! Mine doesn't run the game exceptionally well (usually 30fps, sometimes higher or lower), so at that price or even lower you could get one that runs the game better than I can (plus newer stuff!).

Definitely definitely definitely check out the "Build your Own PC" thread here on GAF, when you feel like acquiring a new computer. $500 will get you something plenty capable of playing L4D2.

Also, thanks a ton for the game, you three. I no longer have something to prove. :D

Just had an great round on the fourth map of Parish Versus. We already lost Coach at the cafe/pool table and we arrived at the crescendo with low health and no healing items. We were battling on the ground, it was not going very well. Nick died, Rochelle got incapped and I was just revived. Managed to revive Rochelle (who was black and white) while having 1 HP left. A few seconds later I was incapped, but Rochelle revived me, only to die soon after.
So I was the only one left, black and white. I got upstairs, killed the smoker and spitter still present and made a run for it. When I crossed the carnival cart I heard a hunter and jockey. Somehow I made it to the medicine cabinet, used the pills in there, startled the witch in that room and ran through the street. It was so freaky, running in black and white, killing commons with the CS knife while hearing a hunter, jockey and witch behind me :lol I think I made almost to 75% before I got pounced.

That story is lame I see stuff like that all the time. Would've been something if you survived to end. Play more to see more awesome OMGWTF moments. :p

My most memorable is in the finale of Dark Carnival. It was time for the tank and all my teammates got incapped. I run around the map just shooting at the tank all the while I'm also dodging and killing his teammates. I managed to light the tank on fire which made things easier. Then when tank dies I pop adrenaline and get everyone up. The other team started calling the guy who played the tank an idiot and kicked him :lol.

I really wish the game would keep replay data for last few games saved I would really have loved to youtube that.

Why don't you just record your own demos? I can't imagine it takes any resources at all.

Short interview with Chet Faliszek about the game, mentions a removed SI:

http://www.oxm.co.uk/article.php?id=16495

Mike: Can you tell us any ideas that were left behind for Special Infected?
So I can then be tormented by the tons of emails that come in? Nobody ever trusts us that it was a bad idea... we played around with this one called The Leaker.

Mike: That sounds horrible.
You can tell I had something to do with naming because I'm lazy. "What does this one do?" "It charges." "Yeah, it's a Charger. I'll go with that."

Mike: If you don't name them simply, people will make up names for them.
If this thing was running down the street at you, you're not going to scream out some crazy long made-up fantasy name. With The Leaker, the idea was a kind of Boomer that could take damage, and shoot out spouts of goo. And you could plant yourself and explode - be this walking bomb. The problem is there's a warning that you're going to do that. So when you go to plant yourself, everyone else runs away, and you just die and don't hurt anybody. It's pretty unsatisfying. The idea isn't entirely bad, and some of that we brought over to The Spitter.

You didn't see it in that one? Not sure if it was sticky bomb. But near the end the pipe bounces off the top and hits the side wall. You did say sticky bomb when that happened.

Guess I didn't see that. During the game I saw it stick to a player's foot and he was running around with it and it ended up blowing up under him. That's why I found it so hilarious :lol
