"I'll see peace back on earth if I gotta murder every one of these animals with my own bare hands!"

Funny, cause I'm always Bill and I have to kill every zombie I see, even the ones in the remote corners, but only on SP co-op, not versus.
 
Wow, playing on normal is so fun (easy). Though I did kinda have to heal. :(

Also, I hadn't heard Louis say "Aww HELL yes" before. Will Smith tribute? :lol

Here's the ledge thing Crooked Rain did. It works pretty well.

This is where I stand to do it (spawn from behind this spot so you position yourself sooner):

Then grab the victim, and they'll get dragged over the ledge and will need help due to the extremely fast incapacitation.

Works pretty well, the guy I grabbed in the above picture did it to me afterward on their infected turn. :lol



Yeah, I've tried from behind and in the face with both shotguns on different difficulties, and it won't give it to me. One guy just casually ran by her and got it.


Thanks much for that explanation! Time to get some victims :lol
 
Hopefully an update will fix the 'infinite grenade' trick/bug. It's easily abusable in some spots (the No Mercy finale comes to mind), especially if it works on versus, too. Have yet to see it in a vs match, at least.

What?!?! I gotta play this game more, what trick is this?!
 
I don't know how many gmodders we have here, but either way this is semi relevant.

Has anyone else managed to import l4d models into gmod? I've got the survivors and boss infected working but can't get common infected, weapons and maps to work.

Anyway, thought you guys might appreciate a few shots:

I saw it on youtube a couple days ago, and just showed Mutfox and Yawee. Go anywhere where there are 2 or more molotovs or pipebombs next to each other. Pick one up. Throw it, and within 1 second, pick up the other one. The one you threw will be replenished. It won't be if you don't pick it up within a second or so though. So if you get those pipe bombs across that 'pipe bridge' on No Mercy's finale, you could just keep chucking out pipe bombs for the zombie rushes or whenever you see two pipe bombs, do the trick to toss one out and clear the area and still have 2 pipe bombs to keep around.

The video on youtube I saw looked confusing, but there's one at http://www.left4dead411.com/ that makes it simpler to see.

You can easily try it yourself if you start a game on Dead Air+Expert, since there should be 4 molotovs and 4 pipe bombs in the initial room.


:lol CS zombies look so weird when they aren't green.
 
im sure its been mentioned, but best spot for a smoker is behind a car with an alarm. Pull a fool from behind the hood and the nubs will usually shoot the car in an effort to save him
 
Niiiiice. Gonna give it a try. I don't want to get too dependent on it though, for when they inevitably fix it :lol

My team has made it through Expert on Death Toll and is working through Dead Air now :D This could come in handy.

Your excellent Gmod skills are always relevant, even if the difference in model quality between games is finally starting to show.

Another "RED Team visits..." series would be wonderful (not that these aren't, they're great too). :D

Fat Zoey and the Tank bench are my favourites, nice work. :D
 
Big fucking rant incoming...WHAT THE HELL VALVE?!?!?!?! I love this game dearly, but i find it really messed up that when i join a server, if some guys dont want me playing they kick me in 5 seconds and then im banned from the server that they probably dont even own. I will personally email gabe about this crap, and if the votekick isnt completely removed or fixed i will ask him personally for a refund of my 50 dollars too. Absolutely ridiculous that some guys on a server they dont even own can ban me because they dont want me playing with them, freakin ridiculous.

I have been kicked 5 times alone today, stupid.

The question is, what are you doing that has gotten you kicked 5 times today? The only time I've ever been vote kicked from a server is for being AFK and I've played for about 70 hours if you include time spent with the demo.
 
I can't believe I just noticed for the first time, in the hospital, the Zombies wear hospital gowns and their ass crack shows in the back.

That's not your Steam ID is it? I think I'd blindly vote yes if I saw somebody with that tag too.

Many people kick others so friends can join. Admittedly, this is usually in the lobby phase, but it can happen in game occasionally.
 
Loved the versus games tonight. My favorite moment was when I punted some GAFfer as the tank onto the top of a lightpost, he grabbed on and couldn't do anything. He was waiting to be rescued. The ground was about 3 inches below his feet.

Are you permabanned from that server? If not, I don't see a problem with this.

I heard this isn't true..
 
Anyone on PC up for playing? I see some Gaffers on, but their games are all full. I kind of feel like giving Versus Expert a try.

Add me: morningbus
 
Does anyone know if there are any Custom Maps/Campaigns available for download?
And if so, do you have a link? :P

I don't see any online servers playing custom anytihg yet. :/

Why would you assume i did anything to be kicked? That is very very ignorant of you to assume i was doing something wrong, ignore list for you son. And no this isnt my name, and if it were, so what? This name references Dick from big brother the tv show, just for the heck of it. All i did was join a server they probably didnt own thinking they own it and can do what they want, valve needs to remove votekick until this can be fixed. I have run across too many people who say that they are playing a friends only game, thinking that means they own the server, when they dont. The last guy to kick me just flat out asked verbatim, *Who the fuck are you*...what kind of loser is that?
 
I beat Blood Harvest on Advanced today, huzzah! Now I've completed all four campaigns on Advanced, and one campaign (Death Toll) on Expert.

^ I then beat Dead Air on Advanced again.


Then I did a complete round of Versus on No Mercy. My team worked together beautifully, and we won 3 of the 5 maps by a huge margin in points. The other team squeaked in wins on the final two maps and even had one guy escape the finale, but we had built up an unassailable lead.

Today in my Versus No Mercy match, I was human and one of my teammates got barfed on. Thus came a zombie rush.

Nearly every zombie in that rush was wearing that hospital gown, and they were all running in the opposite direction of me. Ew.
 
All of the zombies (so far) generally have clothes that fit their surroundings/story. Like in Death Toll, you hear them say early on that the military was evacuating people there and among the "normal clothes" zombies near the end you'll see dudes in Military fatigues. Unless that was just about your noticing the ass crack.

Then I'll reply for him. He simply asked if you were doing anything because you were kicked from multiple servers while he (and I, don't know about others) never have been. It was a harmless question, no need to get hostile. Big Brother is probably not what most people think of when they see 'EvilDick', either.

Versus is cool, but the constant bitching gets annoying.
Oh geez. I was just making a big joke of the fact that I got hunter 95% of the time. Everyone else found it amusing!
 
It seems that I get Hunter the most, then Smoker, and Boomer least. Unless I get Boomer and the rest of the team lives, and I keep reviving as a Boomer (have had Boomer 3+ times in a row a few times, imagine that's why).

If you joined a game already in progress, ED, they could have probably simply kicked you because the person that was playing with them got disconnected, and the person was trying to get back in.
 
It seems like there are 2 hunters, 1 smoker, and 1 boomer at all times, Hunter is the Infected people probably get most often.

All your fault! >:o

I was in a versus game earlier and spawned as a tank on the construction area atop the hospital. I incapacitated Bill, punched Louis off of the floor, and incapacitated Zoey. I ran after Francis and he turned around and jumped to his death. :lol

I have to say though, I've really become a big fan of the boomer; scoring a good couple of vomits can really work to both slow down and damage the survivors. I also swear I've been able to continually respawn as a boomer if I do enough damage via attracting zombies.
 
Well this server in particular was terrible because it only allowed three players to spawn at any given time.

And I had the misfortune of always spawning right after a hunter died. Unless it was the very end of a round, when I wouldn't be able to do anything. ;_;

Also it had some weird-ass limit on melee, where if you melee'd too many times in a short amount of time, you'd start swinging slower and slower. WEIRD. STRANGE. BIZARRE. But mostly unfamiliar, so I kept fucking up because of it.
 
I found a nice level of film grain for people who don't really like it. Set it to half of the default grain setting and the effect will be more or less invisible in lighter areas, but will still add detail to shadowy and dark areas.

I played on that server the other day and it was horrible. They also increased the distance you have to be from survivors to spawn. It was really annoying.
