WATCH YOUR BACK TONIGHT BITCH

I'm so loving these changes, Its allowed me to run into some of the funniest stupid people you can meet. Just got done in a game where one person was crying over 10minutes about having a vote kick against him. I must have been the one. So continued to cry, say racist stuff, the whole works. Starting saying I should be vote kick since its a social game and I'm not socializing also I clawed his hunter as a boomer at the end of the round. Fun times :lol

The Hunter's pounce is absolutely vicious now. On Fire the person will go down in a flash. I'm getting 2 hits in even when they are surrounded now.
 
woot I am uploading another short grief video :lol

oh valve, you may have fixed all the bugs but griefing remains true!

edit: the ability to grief anime fans is true across all games though. "I'm pretty sure Naruto could beat Goku you know..." and watch as server tears self apart.

That's because it now counts as a hit when you pounce them. It deals 1 damage and your second hit is what used to the first hit before the patch.

Naw man, I've seen hunter pounces do upwards of 15 damage. Just the pounce itself.

I meant it always does a minimum of 1 dmg. Before you could deal no damage at all when pouncing. Now you always deal at least 1 point of damage.

I only went against one team that used that, just a couple weeks ago. Don't remember the outcome. Someone posted that there's now an invisible wall to prevent skipping the crane in Dead Air 2..have the other skippable crescendos (DT4, DA3, kind of BH3) been fixed too? And what about 'the rock' in DT5?

Last night I asked to TRY the door on NM3 to see if it was fixed or not, and the other team wouldn't let us. They just didn't understand.

We understood, we just couldn't let you indulge your quest for scientific knowledge while the other team was TRYING TO EAT US.

*edit*

I never knew about any rock on the left. I assume the rock is the one on the right of the house, where nothing can hit you except smokers and maybe a climby or rock throwy tank or vomity boomer or climby zombies. (none of the above will do any damage except maybe the rock or the tank if you are unfortunate, however)

Eh, you revealed your true spy-self a minute later when you blew up the gas station on me, anyway! I wanted to know if it was fixed or not, other team was all dicky about finding out. :(

Rock I'm wondering about is the one in the right corner.

the one on the left is actually in the water (actually a set of three rocks) the one everyone sits on is tall and more rod shaped.

If it makes you feel better, I was camping to blow up the gas station on my three teammates when we were playing gauntlet a few days back.

They all went left and blew me up instead. OVERSIGHT.
 
Faced a team of idiots trying to bash down the door. They died in that spot after like five minutes of bashing.

I also think they changed it so you can't spawn on the roof in NM5 when they're climbing up the ladder. I know I've spawned there early, but when they start climbing, it suddenly says they can see me and I can't spawn.

Now if they would only fix the ability of a boomer or hunter blocking the exit to get survivors stuck on the ladder...
 
Just got the game as a birthday present from my roommate (360).

If anyone wants to add me, ShoNuff1982.

Excellent time to break out the 1 month trial card.
 
I don't know if it was just me or the shitty dedicated server I was just on, but I was having the hardest time landing a hunter pounce. I was grazing/clipping past everyone it seemed :(
 
The stats page is broken for Versus wins and losses. I've won both Versus games I've played since the stats went up and both of them were marked as losses.

Ya, all the stats aren't working I don't think.
 
Does this game make anyone else aggravated beyond belief? Don't get me wrong, I love this game (goty for me next to MGS4) but I'm finding it increasingly annoying... not the game itself, but the community in general.

When everything works out fine, when there are two competent (just competent) teams with 3 or 4 people the gameplay is more fun to me than anything else I could possibly want to play right now. That being said, finding a game where 2 or 3 survivors don't quit within the first minute, on a pure server without any weird mods, where people actually speak on mics, with players that at least know a tiny bit about the basics of playing seems almost like a joke concept these days. Even then, you're lucky if half of a team doesn't rage quit after the first round because they didn't reach the safe house or vice versa as infected. It seems to be getting more and more rare to have people join games in progress either, so spots take a long time to fill up for a game in progress. I stick with it because I long for a good match, because like I said, when it's good... it's really fucking fun.

I'm venting really, just wish I could find a group to play with once a night that didn't involve me spending an hour aggravating myself with shitty players, rage quitting, and crap servers.

Accumulate GAF people on your Steam friends list. GAF people may be obnoxious jerks who hate everything when they post on the board, but in game MOST of them are surprisingly fun. =)
