Chainsaw Massacacre is so fun. It makes The Bridge finale really easy though. I basically just ran with my chainsaw going and nothing came close to stopping me. Made to the helicopter in record time. :lol
Noobish question: I assume Mutation is a different game mode every week? As I said, I'm just returning to the game. Cool concept, if so.

Yeah, that's what they are. Chainsaw won the repeat vote; they'll go through 3 (each lasts Friday-Thusday), then have a vote on the favorite of the 3, then they repeat with a new set of 3.

They have just been surprisingly uninteresting. The idea is neat, but I just can't bring myself to actually play them for more than a map or two.
I'm so sick of public games TK's and Rambo's are the only players I ever get stuck with. I've also been booted out of games as soon I get into the level numerous times. I got hit by a smoker in the second lvl of Dead Center as soon as I left the safe room and despite having a teammate next to me he ignored me and let me die. I really like this game but the online community is awful.

Neat, finally saw him in a regular game.
Bleed Out wasn't bad, and I'm a masochist so I liked Last Man on Earth, if only to try for 0 damage runs.

Ironically, I just saw him last night too. Was cutting up zombies (chainsaw massacre) and noticed the clothes. Suddenly, I just blurted out, 'Hey! It's Jimmy Gibbs!'
Though we had one gas can left for the car, the rest of the team stopped to pay their respects.

Contacted the steam support. I hope they can help with this Directx9 error >.< (L4D1 works fine... but L4D2 has graphic issues and crashes. Thanks Valve for selling me a broken game)

Oh please. The game works fine for everyone else, so there's a problem on your end. Start by updating DX. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...38-db71-4c1b-bc6a-9b6652cd92a3&displaylang=en

Been looking for L4D/L4D2 people to play with lately. Add me.

Picked this up yesterday during the $10 steam sale. I wasn't a fan of the original but for $10 i decided to grab it and see if they had improved it at all. After playing it last night for the first time through campaign 1, they certainly haven't.
This just isn't a game for me, I will try and play through the rest of the campaign over time but i can't see myself falling in love with it, sorry scarlet

Direct X 9 update (crash), graphic card driver update (crash)
changed shader detail to medium and it worked (but looks like crap)
I had no problems with L4D1 (everything on high and very high)
The Steam support said its a well known problem to them >.<
But now i can play it until the fix comes (and i hope it comes soon)
Campaigns are pretty boring, most of the fun is in (realism) versus, especially with the new types of infected.evlcookie said:Picked this up yesterday during the $10 steam sale.

Make sure to give that a try before giving up on it.
So I just picked up this game and basically jumped head first into the online game and I'm glad that even for a completely new person to the series (never played the first one) it was relatively pain free to get into. I did notice that in all the games there was only a couple of people using mic which in a game like this seems to be rather counter intuitive to the whole co-op/team based experience. I'm sure as I play more - this is likely to change, but I can definitely see where a more organized event will make this game really, really good. Left 4 Dead 2's sale came up at a great time for me though since my Mount and Blade Warband games have been slowing down a bit now that the primary Warband server I played on is nowhere to be found since the last patch...
Have you guys played http://www.ihatemountains.com/ map yet? Maybe it's because my buddies like to play it on expert, but there's a huge cluster of commons coming at you during hordes and special infected appear and recover more often. The map's also super dark so it's pretty frightening whenever you have to melee or reload.
We finally reached the finale last night and can't find the best place to camp after we summon the rescue copter. Anyone who played the map up to this point know a good camping area?

I played it a couple(?) weeks ago on advanced and thought it was great. Camped in the stairway of the house pictured during the finale.

Honestly, I almost never play on Expert for custom campaigns, as even for campaigns such as I Hate Mountains, which is an extremely good custom campaign, they all still seem way longer than any official campaign, resulting in getting worn down too quickly.srenity said:

That's because you are playing campaign and not versus.
RyanDG said:
You should play some versus with us gaffers. We all have mics!
Having only played the first campaign in single player, I must say that I LOVE the use of sound in this game. It gives you that feeling of "I know where the zombies are...but I dont know where the zombies are!" until the zombies start rushing you.
This game isnt really meant to be THAT scary in the way that RE or Dead Space is supposed to be but I think its given me that unnerving feeling more than either of those games (RE4 at least, Dead Space freaked me quite a few times). Its very atmospheric without trying too hard.
The mechanics are insanely easy to get into too. Im still learning the different noises and looks of the zombies though.

This is why I wanted to go to Advanced but my friends are like "C'mon, expert (realism, if applicable) is the only way we do it!" D: Even though it took us about two hours (and two different sessions) to finally reached IHM's finale last night; we're still enjoying it!RocketDarkness said:
Any suggestions on another custom campaign after we finish this one?

Night Terror, definitely. It's a very clever campaign with some awesome setpieces.srenity said:
