how do you get the server browser again?
Click to expand...

Go into options, somewhere under "Game" I believe is the option to enable console.
Type in "openserverbrowser" to open that thing up.
You can bind it to a button by typing "bind F4 openserverbrowser" (I think).

Hope that helps.

Thanks that helps, I remember there being a way to have the broswer at the start of the game in l4d1 I wonder if you can do that in this one and how.

Ugh, internet crapped out on Dead Carnival 4.

Moment I remember

Gauntlet crescendo in map 3....charger took me all the way along the tracks, off them, then into a wall, and murdered me bad.

Also, wtf at the 4th end crescendo never ending, very confusing. THEN A FUCKING TANK RIGHT OUTSIDE THE SAFE ROOM DURING IT.

Jesus. This game don't play around. But bed.

Fantastic so far, though.

Did they have to make it that much harder? I like a challenge, but Dead Centre on advanced might be too much for me and I can rock any L4D1 campaign on adv.
"Go and pick up 13 gas cans!"
Suuure. At least I have a year to get better.

It doesn't help that the infected are that much smarter. Almost had a triple cap in the hotel and the tank knows how to incap the whole team rather than focus on one guy.

No surprise that the game fucking delivers.

Anyone who's playing the 360 version, I'd dig partying up tomorrow for some Expert runs.

My gamertag is KilgoreTroutt, and I'm usuall on around 7 pm pst.

Just beat Dead Center on normal. Spent an hour and 39 minutes on it. The first chapter is pretty cool, especially going through the smoke and fire filled lower level. The crescendo at the gun shop was pretty awesome, mostly because you have access to all of the firearms in the game pretty much.

The finale... oh man. I don't know if it was just the people I was playing with or not, but it was difficult. First time we did it, it was basically a mad dash. We split up into two man cells and tried it out that way. We got owned. Then we tried to gather all of the gas tanks into one spot and someone accidentally set them all on fire. The third time, we went up to the third floor and got those tanks and threw them down. Then we'd fill up the car. Rinse and repeat for the second and first floor. We managed to complete right before the third tank came. You have to keep moving. Like BuddhaRockster, you can't corner camp. Even in the crescendo for the gunshop, you can't corner camp because you have to get the cola back to the owner.

It also seems that Valve has decided to connect each campaign, which I really like. It was pretty cool when they all introduce themselves in the first level.

Not really a spoiler but I'll hide it anyway.

We split up into 2 groups, ran around throwing all the gas tanks down to the 1st floor, getting the final one down the moment the tank arrived. Set tank on fire and cowardly ran away, waiting for him to die. That was about it.

Managed to get to the mall, the 3rd map on Dead Center on expert. Good fun. One of my friends had to leave though so we didn't get to finish.

2) Rage quitting without penalty? Check.
Click to expand...
Raging sucks but what can they do? It's not like there are overall stats for them to notch a loss to. I suppose they can make it so you go a certain amount of time without playing another game but that hardly seems fair for a game you paid money for.

That's probably the best way to do it but I was missing one very important thing
Human teammates, they all left at the finale on advanced. That's way too hard to do by myself, I went though four tanks before it started raining hunters :/

Just hill-billied my way out of the end of Dead Center with two friends and one random, good times were had by all.

There's fewer stages overall (just three stages then the finale), but they're each sooo much longer and the way the crescendo events are designed forcing players to be mobile, rather than just cornering up is going to all make for some interesting multi-player. In the finale alone we were
scrambling around the various levels, tossing down gas cans to the car, shooting swarms of common and special infected. Then trying to cover each other while we run to gather the gas cans and fill the car. It's just so damned hectic.

it's going to take a bit of getting used to to effectively use the Charger. it's difficult to get a good charge on a group of Survivors.

oh, and the four characters in the game have really grown on me.

So played some of dead center. After playing the demo, I have to say how interesting the narrative structure is, with Nick remarking to the rest of us how he didnt think we looked like we could fight, and instead of yelling out CHARGER! Rochelle called him "that charging thing" and Ellis called him "hillbilly".

Did the "buy it through a VPN" method work for Australians wanting the game uncensored?
Click to expand...
Friends of mine did that to buy a 4 pack and it worked. Just make sure it's the US store.

I'm from Aussie-tralia and am up for it. I don't know how my connection will be, but it shouldn't be too bad. I've had good L4D1 games with people from Europe.

Awesome, awesome game. Played through Dead Center in Expert campaign, then the same maps in VS. During Dead Center 3 VS, on the third floor where the escalators are, a charger ran a survivor THROUGH THE GLASS BARRIER, choke-slamming him three stories down to the floor for an instant-death. It was so completely epic.

Then during the 1st or 2nd map (can't remember which) on the part where a doorway leads out to a road with a dead-end to the right and a van, a charger on my team ran a survivor down the length of the road into the van. When one (1!) other human came to save him, I spawned from behind the van as a jockey and rode her back into the corner where I spawned out of site from all other gunfire. Took her from green health to incap before the other two made the trip down to save them.

The additions add so much more depth and polish.

Scammed!

Seriously though, I presume you got the pop-up box and an email saying you received a gift?

When you have any problems with Steam, there are three possible solutions:

1) Restart Steam.

2) Restart Steam again.

3) Delete clientregistry.blob and restart Steam.

happened to me as well. just wait it out.

I also tried the 'delete clientregistry.blob' and put it in offline mode and try to run the game, nothing worked. then I put it back online and watched the 'searching for game updates' thing. Forgot about it then it just started working.

If any euros want to play, then add me

my steam id is here (I think)

I don't suck but I'm no L4D expert either. Have a fast connection and a mic.

from the OP:

* Left 4 Dead 1 content may be included in the DVD, so that Xbox players will not have to switch DVDs to play the old content. This might also be true for PC users.

whats the catch here, or is this just straight up bullshit?
