Idk if it was just the server I was playing in, but last night I was trying out Death Toll Modified in l4d2 and there were new guns. I think they were guns from Counter Strike, but has anyone else gotten this?

That's a server mod that unlocks the CS guns the German version got due to their version getting censored.

Because it takes a pro to realize how stupidly easy it is to make it to saferoom with a million medkits and throwables and no guaranteed tank spawns amirite?

Yeesh Vert, always so quick to rage. Now quit being so angsty, yeesh. Pros sure are easily agitated.

Anyways, RocketDarkness was blessed by the powers that be on our Swamp Fever finale!

If you could ban users from specific threads.

I've always wondered why OPs don't have more control over their own threads. Like why can't they change the name of their own threads? And banning someone from their thread seem like a pretty good idea.

yeah, getting rid of volc & twig would make this thread much more pleasant.

Touche

Also, where the hell were you tonight? You missed an awesome game tonight. We failed the first two maps of HR, but we picked it up in the next two. Thanks to my epic tank on map 4, we were able to come from behind and defeat team Vert. Demo to come.

No. This would be abused soooooo much.

Nah it's just that we don't use vanilla so you probably wouldn't even understand what's going on.

Oh please, the defense force comes rolling in.

I had just heard that Vert told Stallion to delete a match he recorded and not post it and made a joke about it. Didn't know all of you would come running.

And I'm not stupid Panda Bear, so quit throwing around insults.

Also, quit trying to suggest banning people specific from threads, that's an incredibly stupid idea.

Never said you were stupid. All I said is that since you play vanilla, the game we play might seem foreign to you.

Ok? You play with a different ruleset. I understand the game more than enough to know that different gameplay setups are different. Of course they're foreign, I have no interest, but I can completely understand what's going on.

Maybe, but things like no packs or defibs, guaranteed tanks, buffed smokers, etc change some strategies enough to the point where one may take a bit to catch on. I don't think that's much of a stretch.

I suggest those of you who only play vanilla watch map 4. It's a good example of how simply knowing when tank will be can be a pretty big advantage.

It's also a prime example of how having THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN on your team can be a pretty big advantage.

Awesome. Yeah, thanks again for helping!

Sanjay will need to get the guilt off his shoulders!

EDIT: Getting an error trying to play that file. D:

I fear doing HR though. Fucking hate the second level SO MUCH on expert.

It still has 4 mins to upload all the way. I hit 'submit' too fast. Demo wouldn't play my tank music or played it at like 10% volume for some reason too. :(

e: try now

I really like that camper for the HR2 event..it has worked really well both times I've tried it.

I still enjoy Hard Rain the first? time we all played with that mod.

Tank music starts about 30 feet past the restaurant, and I remember what Tanks try to sometimes use on the finale, and back up. Then half the team goes OH SHIT CARS and get killed by the cars. :(

:lol

Have they ironed out the L4D1 maps yet? Or are they still buggy?
Click to expand...

The first No Mercy I played was fine? except you could jump in the elevator on map 4 and you'd fall through.

The 'No Mercy Modified' didn't have that error, but one of the alternate paths on NM1 lets you jump into a window above the pill box, but you can get stuck trying to make the jump in there. That was the only buggy thing we found on our play. So still no perfect one, but they were both playable without *much* problem. Have not tried any of the other ones though. We still haven't played..I'm not sure what your name is on steam now.

Ha. That match made me feel pretty good about the scoring system. It really emphasizes finishing a map, but it doesn't completely negate making it 3/4ths of the way through, and whatnot.

Scoring system is modded slightly :p Gives 100 per survivor instead of the usual shitty 25 :lol

oh! I thought that was a Valve change; that was instituted like a week after release. Yeah, I like the 100.

Just start it before you click "ok" when you get in the server, stal.

Hey guys was just reading through the left 4 dead page here but noticed people talking about a potential virus that looked like your drives were being scanned on another page.

This is akin to an annoying virus I got recently that's been spreading around apparently known as the security tools virus.

I highly recommend that all people reporting those virus issues download m-bam's anti-malware program and running a full scan since this virus installs a rootkit and the removal process is very delicate. (A mistake may require a reformat + windows reinstall).

I know this is a bit off-topic but I just don't want people to get screwed the same way I did. Whatever you do don't restart your computer before you run some anti malware checks.
Click to expand...

thanks, i was too late in not restarting unfortunately. also im on a roaming profile on a server here so things are very convoluted. i have very limited access to this stuff here, so the IT guys will have to get involved.

this thing is borked though. when i logged back on today it took like 7 hrs before any signs of the virus showed up and now this thing is rolling. opening IE windows to porn sites etc. bad news.

looks like this virus only infects like only about 1/20 or less pc's though. i happened to be one of the lucky ones. yay.

it also looks like it was installed via ad boxes. so, that sucks.

holy shit i need to shut this thing down now.

The vs playoff brackets says finals aren't until february. hmm pwnage changed their boardcast for today again. It's blight.rage instead of blight.nao.

http://www.cevo.com/playoffs/bracket.php?id=876

The scavenge tourney ends this weekend though.

BTW, the final version of the cevo config is out. Only change in final version is the removal of auto spawns.

I get so pissed at idiots in versus mode that just stand around after you have taken down 2-3 sometimes even 4 spec infected.

It's like.... come on guys. They are down. RUN!

Get to the next hold down spot before they respawn and then kill them and get to the next hold down spot..... rinse... repeat.... all the way to the safehouse.


P.S.

When does that new content come out? The ones where the original people meet up.

All they've said is spring of this year. No solid date yet.

Also, not wanting to attempt HR Expert until the weekend, due to the second level alone D:

Ah so you are CAPTAIN SUPER COOL or whoever that was. Maybe we can get you on board the escape vehicle with him tomorrow, Vol. I wanted to ensure you guys got on before I did, then I saw you all were on, so I ran on, and then you got incapped when I thought I was still far enough away, but it said I was on. :(
Click to expand...

Yes, that's me. I can change my display name if that makes it easier for people to recognize me :p

BTW I'm having trouble getting the modded l4d1 campaigns to work. The only one that booted was Blood Harvest, and it crashed partially through the first level. The other campaigns say "it was not found" or something.
