The Left 4 Dead Japanese community on the PC is very lively. If you've got the rig, I'm pretty sure the PC is way to go for L4D. I get matched up with Japanese players every time I do a search and the L4D Japan steam group has like 2000 members with always at least 300-400 people playing online at any given time.

If you've got the rig, you should consider double-dipping!
Oh, I'd love to play this on the PC, but my poor little laptop can barely manage Battlefield 2!

ZOMBIE GENOCIDE GET! :D Now I have them all. I wonder when they'll fix that Lamb 2 Slaughter bug where it doesn't show up on the steam ID page. Rather than that, I'm hoping they fix that teamswap bug for Versus. It's getting a tad annoying lately.
 
My cousin and I just played this split screen and it is FUCKAWESOME! Damn Valve knows how to make fun games! I haven't played verses yet, that's tomorrow after work. We played on normal, is advanced a bigg step up in difficulty?
I'm on 360 anyone want to play add me ne0ism
 
:lol

What's the max score possible in Versus? I was playing against pretty bad players and our team ended up around 7200 to their 600, I don't think it'd be higher than 8000.
 
Getting the Zombie genocide achievement with style!

I would have really preferred a more glamorous way to get it, but I figured getting it while watching a teammate get choked to death was just as good! And I can probably definitively say that it was way better than when Red Scarlet got it while making lewd poses on top of a safehouse toilet! :]

Anyone else feel like the game is dieing a bit? Seems harder and harder to find a full VS game in a short period of time. I swear lobby times were half what they are now just a couple weeks ago
 
Anybody know a player that goes by The-Syndicate?

Just played with this guy tonight. HUGE RACIST. Seriously would not stop about it. I tried recording some of his shit, Fraps wasn't working well for me however.

Yeah, but how can you get that many assists and not kill the person?
person's health is 100 + 300 "down" points. assume you take all of those that's 400. now he's probably getting bonus assist points for hurting him or something. plus there's a LOT of zombies there, not all of them will be doing damage even if they are hitting him.

i dunno.

The sniper rifle, definitely. The only gun I ever use.

Every team needs at least one guy skilled with the sniper rifle on it. It is so useful for so many situations that come up.

Example? I haven't tried it, I feel like you wouldnt really have the ability to zoom in with a scope with L4D's game style.

middle click.

it's got some situational uses but they are nice. sniping smokers dragging away teammates is a good one. it's not very useful for finales or versus imo, where you're unlikely to be given the time.

Sniping hunters or smokers off of people, especially when they are seperated from the group. They run out of ammo the slowest. You can take out an entire hallway full of zombies with half of a clip with ease since the bullets go straight through them. It's always a one shot kill on zombies too, so if you hit them once you know they are dead regardless of their squirming. Against tanks you can hang back further away from the group and snipe the hell out of the bastard. I find that I often do just as much damage to tanks as people with auto-shotties. I rarely zoom in. The only time it is useful is when you want to shoot far off enemies while moving, otherwise it is better to just quickly crouch and fire off a couple shots.

The sniper rifle in the hands of someone skilled with it is essential for a team if they want to do their best imo.

The upside to the assault rifle, you can rescue a distant teammate with absolute precision (assuming the server doesn't suck and you're not shooting blanks because of your ping.)

With a sniper rifle you can rescue a distant teammate while shooting straight through a horde of zombies.
 
hmm, maybe that's why I've been getting killed fighting the Tanks during the last stand sections; I usually have to get closer since I'm using a shotgun. My buds and I went through 3 of the campaigns on Advanced, I haven't survived a single one yet :*(

I'm gonna add the gamertags for everyone listed in the online matchup thread and any random ones I find in this thread; I'd rather play with Gaffers than random xbl people. Speaking of random people, I heard that they're assholes/idiots, running off on their own and not working as a team; can anyone attest? I'm playing on 360
 
Oh, shit, you're on the 360? I'm not sure you can get enough precision to make the sniper rifle as useful as it can be, but I hope I'm wrong.

I wonder if a nerd has ever used this excuse with his wife..

eh, should try it out anyway, why limit myself? who knows, might end up liking it. I'll post the results after playing tonight, hopefully with some fellow gaffers *wink wink
please add me! xbl gamertag = slade5912

This dude name *xan* called me the N word because I was killing the 2 bots. Only reason why I was doing it because we won already and Bill set us on fire and killed himself before leaving. I love racist people who hides behind their computer and say it because they know they would get their ass kicked in public for using that word.


I was in another game as infected on hospital. Francis got into the safe room and closed the door, he went out to try to save Zoey. I was Boomer and I vomited on him. My zombies were beating him up and I even tried to attack him while a hunter pounced him. None of us got the achievement Lamb 2 Slaughter. Did we just got unlucky and it bugged out on us or is there a certain way that we have to do it?

I don't know why some people are saying the teamswap is not an issue. It's ruining games, not balancing squat. At least 80% of the games I've played, someone is being swapped around. It sucks when you get 4 friends and then one guy gets swapped to the other team.
 
Does anyone have any recommendations for good places to rent a dedicated L4D server from? Been looking at a few options (Leetservers, Velocity) but nothing's really standing out. Personal experiences are greatly welcomed.

Thinking of splashing some of my holiday pay on a one-year rental - and while I may not be able to bind it to the GAF group (unless Valve adds multi-group binding), all of GAF will be welcome to play on it.
 
Haven't had time to play the last 2 nights, but hopefully I get a chance tonight to let loose. Hoping to get lamb 2 slaughter and no friendly fire
 
Oh wow, I didn't see this before. I hope they fix it soon!


- In versus mode, sometimes players will switch teams unexpectedly. [confirmed]

I'm pretty nasty with it myself.

And yes there are fools running around who actually tried to do some team killing on the 360 version and sprint out as far as they can...
 
When'd they add that annoying yellow container thing in No Mercy 4 Versus mode at the end of the elevator ride? It's kind of uhh... in our way. >_<
 
Wow I just died at the end of No Mercy when the helicopter came ;_;

I saw Zoey in trouble and went to help her and a tank uppercutted me off the building RIGHt into the middle of a horde...

We all died :(

I think I'm picking this up tomorrow. Decided to just pay the full $60 bucks and buy it now instead of waiting for it to go down.

PC or 360? The 360 version is on sale this week for $45 @ Circuit City.
 
do i really get this game?? are all of you going to be playing this 3 months from now, i love replay value is this really worth it?? seems like you all enjoy it but is it long lasting?

Seems to be fine on Steam. :D
