Disappointing. Played through a close match today to run into that bullshit at the end.

Yeah its weird. It sucks cause a lot of people quit before the finale as everyone knows that it doesn't count for shit.duckroll said:Holy fuck. Valve. I thought you tested Dead Air!

Well, it kind of makes sense. I think most people who have played both will agree L4D2 improves upon L4D in ever way. Of course, there are always some purists who prefer the original. For PC users the system requirements are basically the same, and you get to play with the balance changes and additions (melee weapons, new infected, weapons etc.) There's a reason why Valve followed up with a sequel only a later.Church RvB said:

Yes it's confirmed. The only difference is that the PC gets updates regularly whenever they are kinda ready, but MS requires it to be packaged and bundled as pay DLC. So later on this Summer, Valve is going to put out a new DLC pack for L4D2 which contains the new campaign Cold Stream, all the remaining L4D1 campaigns, and some significant (?) changes to the Dead Carnival campaign. No word on pricing yet, but 360 players are definitely getting it.
Unfortunately, Dead Air finale contains a Jesus Spot*.

I know Dead Air is still in a beta. But come on VALVe.

A Jesus Spot is a glitch, in which if all 4 players are in this Jesus Spot, no zombies (and often no tanks as well) will spawn. Leading you straight to the rescue vehicle opening/arriving/leaving without ever firing a single shot.

I've had L4D2 on Disk for a while now but never got round to playing it, so I install the disk via Steam and after it installs it wants me to download an extra 5 GB? It totals to 12 GB or so, my friend is playing L4D2 and he downloaded the whole game from Steam and it only takes up 7.4 GB on his system...
The disk isn't going to contain all of extra content Valve has released for the game, even if you have a newer disk it's not going to have Cold Stream or Dead Air campaigns, and may not have the Sacrifice.BadTaste105 said:
I'm not sure why your file size is 12 GB though, mine is also 7.4 GB. Maybe multiple languages were installed?

We need to do this GAF! I want Blood Harvest on my L4D2 NOW.

I guess I'll try it, then.
Btw, does anyone else notice how dead the TAAAAANK mutation is? Maybe I need to change my download regions or something, because I barely get more than 5 available games.

So in the first game of Dead Air I join immediately two of the players in the game start bitching at each other about some previous game with each other. Then, as we move forward into the level I get pulled off the bridge. I then get a kick option against me because one of the players is angry because I didn't know the shortcut. The other player who was earlier arguing against this guy throws up a kick option against him for putting up a kick option against me. Then one of them leaves and the team dissolves. The community hasn't changed at all.

Blood Harvest is the next release? Ugh I was hoping for Death Toll. :/
vazel said:
To a point, but that's also exactly why I never play L4D unless it's with 3 other friends, which is not a frequent proposition. Then most of the time we are playing colitions of randomly placed together people that 90% of the time results in us stomping them so hard that they usually all quit and it ends the game. I have no idea how to do it, but if there's one thing L4D needs it's some sort of better matchmaking system, or at least something that would reduce the rampant quitting and teamfucking.

Was anyone able to get the Dead Air achievement consistently? Between two full games with me and my friends, only 5 people out of 16 total were awarded it. 2 in the first game, 3 in the second.

Only the winning team gets the achievement, and only if every single player on that team started from the very first map onwards. I've played 3 games of Dead Air over the weekend.
In the first game 3 people in the winning team got the achievement because one guy dropped and rejoined midway due to a crash. Second game, 2 people in the winning team got the achievement because the other 2 already had it. Third game, all 4 players on the winning team got the achievement.

Except I know that wasn't the case at all. That's the whole problem.
I got the achievement on my first attempt, and I was on the losing team. My team kept rage quitting and it was 4v1 by the end of the finale and once it was over all the remaining players got the achievement.
Do some of you load alot slower than others? I've had problems with some of the L4D2 achievements because sometimes I didn't load as fast as the other players. Sometimes, by the time I've loaded, everyone's already out of the safe room, including a bot where I should be. The game acts like I joined in the middle of a game, so I didn't unlock stuff like beating a campaign on expert. I can't think of any other reason why it wouldn't unlock.

We usually only have a couple of guys that we need to wait for to load in.
I've been both on winning and losing teams, even been one of the ones still alive as the final score tally comes up.
No achievement has ever been granted to me.

So yeah, the achievement was bugged, and they're fixing it. The current count, including those who haven't been awarded the achievement yet (but should be getting it), is about 33k. We need another 27k for Blood Harvest! ~_~

Just downloaded it. Yay free content *party hat*.
Sorry for the necro bump, but do any GAFfers still play this game? I'm trying to learn versus mode and the community is pretty assholeish. I was just kicked from a game because I died. I'd like to play with a group of people who won't rage because I suck. Here is my Steam profile if anyone wants to add me.

Today's update includes the beta version of Death Toll.
Fucking Valve. I love how despite the update notes saying finale scoring was fixed I just experienced otherwise. Not only is the score glitched but 2nd tank did not spawn. Ruined an exciting friends game.
Having said that I am grateful for these free updates and for Valve not using this as an opportunity to dlc us.

The healing gnome mutation sounds kinda awesome. Might have to try that one out.

Yeah, Death Toll is all kinds of bugged. Had the church guy not even spawn sometimes (as in, the door opens and nothing is in there). Scoring on the church event is also busted - rather than count the crescendo event as part of scoring, it only counts based on how close you are to the safe room door.
The finale scoring is broken, but only for the first team. Scoring works correctly for the second survivor team, which REALLY makes versus games feel super one-sided.
And, like a lot of the beta L4D1 campaigns, the director seems to go nuts with giving you tons of goodies.

Now I remember why I uninstalled. 13,000 people playing and only one empty lobby showing up in the 'browser'. It's been 3 years since L4D1. Can't believe they haven't fixed this shit.
