I was having a great time with this on PC and ended up finding it new today for $30 on 360, so I bought four copies for me and my friends. The bastards.

Yeah, we had a versus game last night on a dedicated server where seven of us had green bar (<100ms) pings.Letters said:

Wrekt said:About once a hour I receive this error message that crashes my client. It usually happens when switching sides in a Scavenge match but I seem to recall it happening it in Versus as well. Anybody else see this?
Yep. I've narrowed it down to the Dead Center campaign, and in particular, the finale. More often than not it's while playing Scavenge. It's happened on a few other maps, but nowhere near the frequency as with Dead Center.
Most other maps/gamemodes I'm fine, although that particular error has gone away and been replaced with a silent crash.
Valve has said they're aware of the issue and will be patching it soon.
god this game pisses me off. Well, the people who play it do.
Whenever you get to the final act people turn into massive assholes. They start hoarding med kits and pills. They never help, instead they just rush on. And then when you get to the end of the final act you can guarantee one person will just leg it. And then, confused, somebody else will try to join them so now you've got 2 teams or 2. Of course, somebody gets a hunter or jockey on them so now 1 person needs to fight off 20 zombies to get to that person.
Ahhhhhhhhhh
/rant.

I wonder if the "CPU detection" is a euphemism for crashes/slowdown related to multicore, etc.
Ah goddamnit I was hoping there wouldn't be an update before I got back from T-Day vacation.
So much for that awesome video I was going to make. ):
EDIT: Although I suppose I could start Steam in offline mode and play L4D2 single-player to run the demos.
Humph. Will have to try.

Recording demos doesn't really seem to affect much at all, no.
Source has a built-in avi converter but I've never used it. I'd probably just use Fraps. (I've never actually used demos before L4D2, but they're so much smaller than using Fraps every single time I play.)
If only Valve would just release an official Old Demo Player. ): It can't be too difficult, right!!

Just bought this game and played the first campaign online. This game is incredibly fun and the finale of the first campaign was epic! It ended with everyone being either dead or on the ground but me. I had to fill up the car with the 3 remaining fuel tanks by myself and I only had 1 health left! Nevertheless, we survived!

well that was maddening. just lost 3 rounds of dead centre the level where you have to turn off the alarm on the 3rd floor.
Hey random team, shall we hang out on the 1st floor and kill the zombies till they stop coming?!
Oh what about you guy, everyones red, you have 70% and snagged the health pack? how about you don't share it.
I love this game but fucking hell strangers!!

Yeah, L4D starting losing my interest a couple months after release, and then my friend and brother picked it up, and we started doing VS. Haven't stopped since, and its 100x better in L4D2. Add to that the friends I've made along the way with play with regularly, makes it that much more fun.

Yeah, dumb randoms can be very annoying. I remember playing DC on advanced, it started with one guy jumping off the balcony on the first map. On the second, one just ran off from the group and started meleeing zombies, kept getting caught in spit and other stupid stuff (look a witch, lets shoot it! :/)
Still, I have meet more good players than bad players with randoms. The occasional fuck up can also be quite entertaining

Why didn't you just buy it for PC in the first place?
also, not to sound like an ass or anything but of course the PC version is capable of looking sharper. I really don't understand why people feel the need to point this out time and time again when its common sense by now.

Thanks for the game, GAF, had a really good time. Also nice to play a game where I'm not being chastised for not having a mic.
..sorry for all the deaths :lol

just spent the last 3 or 4 hours playing dead carnival I just can't beat the end. Survivor AI is just so damn bad, not to mention getting hit by multiple special infected is a pain in the ass. I was taking the tank on and from behind I get hit by a charger so damn frustrating. If it wasn't that a jockey would hit me and soon as the AI killed the jockey I would get pounced on by a hunter.

As far as I'm concerned the game is impossible with Survivor AIZeke said:

I don't think anybody would suggest it's the ideal way to play - this is a game built for playing with real live flesh and blood people. But neither does it invalidate the lure of playing it by yourself with bots on occasion.
The problem is, the bots are embarrassingly stupid. I've seen Counter-Strike Source bots make stupid mistakes in my time, but the L4D Singleplayer bot AI... I don't even have words.
Valve literally implemented the most simplistic, basic, bare-bones bot AI they could get away with.

I don't mind doing public stuff for this, so far the community, on Steam that is, has been pretty nice. I'll probably only do specifics for stuff like campaign expert and/or realism though. Versus has been a treat though, nice, knowledgeable folks.
The bots are indeed dumb as hell though, they're still pretty good shots, but when doing specific map things, they're idiots. They're worse than the original by a fair clip and I assume it'll be fixed.
random stuff:
I don't really like how they structured the vocalize bindings in this one compared to the original though. I've been able to get it all done, but you have to jump through a few hoops for actual script stuff. I DO however, appreciate the spam lockout on it.
Also I had some odd FPS problems before that second patch (not the most recent). My PC is a fair clip dated now (dual core, 8800gtx), but Source games usually fly on it. I was getting dips to 40~ FPS on it when it'd go haywire, which isnt horrendous, but was annoying me since they claimed they could do all this shit without bogging down the engine anymore.
Since the decal or w/e tweak, turning Vsync off I never saw it go under 100 FPS. What the hell button did they forget to flip before sending it out the door!?
