Has anybody on the 360 version with a BT home hub been having the game actually disconnect their internet connection/reset their router?

Yeah, you got to be really careful where you put Chompski down. I took it at one point to try to run it form the end of the roller coaster crescendo to the safe house. I dropped it to shoot some zombies, and it fell through the platform. :\Botolf said:

Ok this is starting to bother me and no amount of messing around with the router, no matter how fun that is, is getting me any closer to solving the problem. When i tried going through the option of finding a game on a "steam group server" i would get no games found in L4D1, the demon for L4D2 and now L4D2 it self. I just used the serverbrowser for L4D1 and the demo. But now even the server browser is not returning me anything when i use it in L4D2.

I think that's up to the director, although I'm fairly sure, in Dead Centre at least, they only appear once per campaign.d0c_zaius said:is there one weapon upgrade per chapter?

God-fucking-dammit.
I did Dead Centre for the use-no-gun Achievement and fucking kicked ass with the axe...only to get incapped by a Spitter and pressing RT as I fell, using a pistol I DIDN'T EVEN GET. Fucking pissed me off because I was throwing gas canisters down and finished maybe two minutes after the fact =/

I think we used too much stuff up anyway. I should've just killed Gamble..I think he was b&w at the start of level 2.
Well, I'll gladly try it again sometime.

Yeah. We kept getting to the panic event fine, and then random shit would kill us before we could even hit the button. :lolRed Scarlet said:
OH GOD SWAMP FEVER WAS HARD
3 hours 26 mins for my party. The part in the finale when TWO TANKS AT ONCE OMG WTFBBQAGHJHHH. Must've died a ton of time. I realized the thing that sucks about the campaigns being looooong is you play 3 hours+ and you have 1 opportunity to make it out of the finale together if you want the achievement for surviving the campaign. One my friends died while two ran for the boat so I went back to save him so he could get the achievement two. Then TANKS KEPT COMING ONE AFTER ANOTHER AHHHHH and I died and we both didn't get it
Game is awesome, but game is SO MUCH HARDER than the first game. I think we had a pretty good team going but it's taking us about 3 hours a campaign on advanced.

Last night I was in a game and just to have a little fun, I gun it to the heli on the bridge instead of waiting for the others (the best way is to really run, not stop and shoot shit anyways).
By the time I made it to the heli, the others were just barely halfway across. I ended up waiting a good amount of time there when the second tank shows up. I run circles around the heli to avoid him, but he incaps me. Two of my group get incapped by the other tank, but one manages to get to me. I thought he was going to leave me ass, but helped me up and we both escaped. :lol

Left 4 Dead 2 is fucking great. Probably my GOTY.
I've been playing it almost all day, my most intense scenario of the night was my man vs. tank battle. I was on the part of Hard Rain where we climb the open building up the elevator, my teammates are fighting off the hoard and all of a sudden a goddamn tank pops out, so I rush that fucker with my fireaxe and strafe around him while slashing, dodging his attacks and just tearing him up, I got about 90% of his health whittled down but then he punches me off the side of the building, I fell so far that I died instantly. It was awesome, I felt like such a hero.

So how will you rank the campaigns from best to worst?
For me, it's Dark Carnival > Hard Rain > The Parish > Dead Center > Swamp Fever.
Though sometimes Hard Rain makes me love it more.

My list is the same as yours, maybe swap Dead Center with Swamp Fever, I need to play a versus game on Swamp Fever to decide.Ookami-kun said:

I dunno. I thought Swamp Fever was relatively boring and too plain. As someone said, you've seen one rural/woods, you've seen 'em all. At least Dead Center was a bit more varied.
To the guy who said that L4D2 Expert is easier than L4D1, my team and I spent around an hour slugging through the mall, wiping on several occasions. On one golden run we made it past a Tank, the constant hordes, and through the crescendo. It was nothing short of an absolute marathon, with multiple team members going gray and stretching health packs as far as they would go. We moved into the next area, the smell of saferoom and triumph wafting in our noses. Well, the AI Director then decided to drop two Chargers, a Jockey, and a walking witch in the room before us.
Game over.

Smart grenade usage and an absolutely brutal melee weapon bloodbath. Protect the Gnome-carrier!K2Valor said:

We got destroyed on The Parish yesterday on Advanced Realism. Earlier in the day we'd gone through Hard Rain with just one restart, but The Parish pummeled us. First three maps were absolutely fine, but then the fourth map was rapetown, over and over, until people started dropping out, which just made it worse... couldn't understand why it was so brutal.
Gonna give Expert Realism a shot soon.

Yeah, the third stage of Dead Center seems insanely difficult on Expert if you luck out on the items the Director spawns or if you already have relatively poor health before even leaving the saferoom. Also currently not sure whether or not it's better to slowly move ahead as soon as you hear a dangerous Special Infected (like a Charger or two) or rush ahead in groups of two so that the constant hordes don't get as many chances to grind your health down.Botolf said:
Oh and you'd better hope the Director doesn't spawn a Tank in the hallway of no return, otherwise known as the one right before the crescendo event.

Left 4 Dead 1 on Expert only got hard during the finale events imo. Everything else was rather manageable if you stuck together (moreso if your group already knew the maps beforehand) whereas so far in Left 4 Dead 2 there seem to be numerous events prior to the finale that are just as or even more difficult than the last stage of any given campaign. Dead Center's third level in particular stands out to me for example (as that's the only campaign I've tried on Expert so far), or even the second stage if things didn't go smoothly during the campaign's opening level.Slavik81 said:

So, has there been any word on the dedicated servers for the 360? Can't find anything on the steam forums.
