Get all gas cans
Go to the top of the stairs in the house
Put 1 gas can on the left, the right, and the bottom of the stairs
Zombies can only come up or from the left and right
Specials can't do much, even the spitter, if you're all together and protecting each other
Tanks will come and you just shoot the gas cans that is nearest (keeping in mind there are multiple tanks)
After first tank, just run down and grab the throwables
Soon as you down all the tanks, hustle to teh boat
It was hard when i was doing this myself (idiots won't learn that the stupid mounted gun is useless), but after getting some coordination...well...I survived, but it's not my fault when I tell them to run and they run towards the tanks

Well, one of the main reasons why L4D2 is harder is due to the shove being limited as well.

Feels identical to the PC version to me, the only real added difficulty that I can notice is the loss of precision going from kb/mouse to controller. The overall skill level of players when joining a random game tends to vary a lot more too, but playing with reasonably experienced friends (l4d1 veterans) we were able to beat all the campaigns with no problem.

Played my first games of Versus tonight with my L4D crew. Like with the first game, we did extremely well. Loving it once again. My only complaint is the matchmaking. It's slow, and people drop in and out left and right, games end early, etc. Otherwise I'm freaking loving it.

Oh, and I forgot - Infected now can ninja and have "evasion" moves as opposed to the older Infected.

What the hell is up with the beefed up survival mode? The game throws in tanks continuously.

Just had the strangest campaign
Left 4 Dead in space!
Everything was in low gravity
space jumping, Hunters Flying everywhere, Cars flying :lol

I bet it's that same lame server from L4D1 I would get dropped into sometimes. Sometimes I hate mods(and admin powers when they feel like cheating)... wastes my time to load into a server like that then leaving. Wish they had a filter for mods, I read they tried to do that for TF2 but dickish people would circumvent it.Dark Ninja said:
Had the weirdest witch glitch yesterday. We just couldn´t kill her. She killed one of us and we pumped all we got but she just started walking away ignoring the bullets...
Bad side effect: We had the "disturbed the witch" music with us the entire chapter. It nearly drove me nuts...
And its kinda hard to find good servers with matchmaking. 9/10 had Pings over 200. How do I activate the server browser again? Activate the console in the options, add "-console" to the shortcut and type "addserverbrowser" into the console?

If your buddies drop...and there not within hand reach....gotta leave 'em to their doom and push on (Parish). Moment you go back your just going to get swarmed or knocked off Bridge by a charger. And have that chainsaw handy for those last moments GETTING TO DA CHOPPER.
Weird, i turned off v-sync in this game. And i'm getting a MASSIVE performance increase on my 7600 gt AMD 4200 2.2 ghz 2gb ram. I'm managing to play on 1680x1080 res at medium settings at around 50-70 fps. (for comparison i was getting 20-30fps on 1280x760 medium with v-sync on). Not getting any screen-tearing either.
Frame-rate is a little in-consistent though, but it's still far better then playing on my old settings.

It's a bug when you don't kill the witch in one hit with incendiary ammo. Should be patched soon I would believe, I think Valve knows about it already.xyla said:
Special infected? The hunter always had the jump away move, I haven't seen any other infected do anything resembling that.Ookami-kun said:

I fid it quite irritating when you are trying to run away and 1 zombie begins hitting you in the back to slow you down, so you murder him and there is magically another zombie at your 6 oclock while you murder the first zombie, rinse and repeat.
Also, the pistols are fucking worthless compared to the melee weapons, does anyone ever take these?

I think he's referring to the strafing the common infected can do now. They won't all just run at you in a straight line anymore.
This game definitely gets easier. I tried the Parish on Normal last night just to make it to the chopper for once, and it was laughable.
Forget about the infinite shoves from the first game: the melee weapons are ridiculous. I never get pistols anymore. Can you imagine playing the first game with axes? Holing up in a closet would be even more of a snooze-fest.
I think that is just a path problem, sometimes they seem to have trouble getting to you in a way that makes the most sense.Rubashov said:
Yeah, the regular pistols are not as valuable as they were previously but the magnum is good to use, especially in realism mode as it kills in 1 hit. I think you can't shoot as fast with dual pistols as you could before either so I would only recommend taking a regular pistol if everyone else has melee weapons.

Pistols/magnum are combined to spread weapons/AK. Melee are combined to straight weapons.

The magnum seemed great at first, but after a while it honestly doesn't seem that useful in most scenarios. Double pistols and melee weapons are much faster, more versatile, and more reliable to use when you have to bring out a secondary in a pinch.

The magnum lost its appeal for me when I started playing Realism.

I have a hard time bringing any pistol when there's a top tier melee available.
I don't play on Realism though. Yet.

I've certainly seen it happen in an open area. If this is just a pathing issue, then it's disguised pretty well as some evasive action. I whiffed a few melee swipes in the beginning because of a zombie sidestepping me at the last moment. I just thought it was a nice little twist to their behavior. I used to be able to sit tight with a shotgun and reload patiently as I watched every zombie run straight to me in a predictable line, then blast them at close range. Now they seem to be a little smarter than that.

Does Magnum consistently kill on body shots in Expert Realism? I haven't played enough of it yet.
Dual pistols is good for spraying a horde at long range, lined up at head level you will kill a lot more than the magnum, especially if the horde is spread out a bit. Of course, the assault rifles and combat shotgun will do the same job better, but sometimes you need to conserve ammo, espeically if you've got a laser sight on your gun and don't know where the next ammo pile is.
Overall I mix them up quite a bit, and take whatever I feel like using.

Another advantage of pistols is the extra strength when incapped. The Magnum is still accurate and it's piercing qualities can help when you are being kicked by mass infected.

A magnum is so much stronger than a single normal pistol, killing a far away SI is quite easy with it.Papercuts said:

I'll help you out if you want.
I also don't use the pistols at all anymore. They seem way too weak compared to any of the melee weapons and magnum. Only time I go with dualies is if everybody else picks up a melee at the start of Dead Center, so at least someone has a ranged weapon. I've always gone melee on realism, so no idea if the magnum is still one shot or not on that mode. I should try it.

Playing more Versus and Scavenge today and I have to say although I love Versus, the poor matchmaking, and people randomly getting disconnected are hurting my enjoyment. Friends randomly get kicked from games, etc. It's hard to finish a game with stuff like that happening. And people constantly quitting and the server shutting down. I think it's the length that causes a lot of problems with people quitting. I mean Versus games can take like an hour to complete.

They look similar to pistols at a glance, so whenever you come across a 'pistol' just double-check to make sure it is indeed a pistol and not magnum.Papercuts said:
