Yea i know, Its just you gotta find one first. Im hoping if anyone knew if this will ever be fixed or is there a stance that its a definitive never.

The 360 patch will be released in "the coming weeks." That's all they've said.

PC version is apparently already been fixed and has been for awhile.

We'll get our turn, no worries.

So are they ever going to fix Infected moving objects to block entrances? Completely ruins the game....
Fixed months ago on PC.

I have both versions. Haven't touched the 360 in a month because the jackassery is so ridiculous. Every single game at least one person will fuck things up for everyone else by glitching, exploiting, or just plain blocking pathways so the game is forced to end.

With regard to the 360, I've seen a group of four people melee the generator in front of the elevator until it moved. It took about 45 seconds with all four people pounding on it, but we inched it away little by little. I'm not sure if thats always a viable solution, but particularly for the elevator it's pretty solid because you're bunkered in there anyway (for a while three people would hammer on it and one would shoot until it was almost done and that worked fantastic)

Doesn't hitting an alarm car with the tank permanently disable its alarm now?
yeah but the point was merely to show the distances you can reach. everyone knows where the alarm car on NM1 is and where the alley is and the apartment building inbetween.

Just about sums it up for me. When i find a game of good people its damn good fun. Im always telling my team "Lets be nice/fair" and not use the door near the lift and actually take the lift. Dont block anything ect.. ect... Other team repays us will blocking everything possible in our path never bothering to even fight us and of course using the door opposite of the lift :(


Anyways with all the glitchs/problems (360 version) I cant stop playing this game. Its amazing!
 
afaik next dlc is the next two on versus and a new campaign. of course it's not really dlc on the pc, more like support.

hope you enjoy paying on the xbox though!

I'm pretty sure Red Scarlet is awake 24 hours a day though. There isn't a time of day I haven't seen her play L4D. To the extent that I thought she was from Europe due to the times I sometime see her playing :D It's all good though, I'm a bit of a night owl myself.

hey guys, glad to finally talk some Left 4 Dead with ya. steamid is is same as the GAF username, but a lot of you already know that. Had some great games so far, looking forward to some more. BTW, the patch is great, although I'm no fan of equal tanks & witches (giving the second team a more strategic advantage imo). Still, this is probably the best game I've played all generation. Not much compares IMO.


aaaaaaaand that's about it. :D

You and Panda Bear always make me laugh while we are playing :lol
 
For the record, I think that the ability to barricade doors with physics objects would be a cool feature if it wasn't an exploit. I suppose it isn't very "zombie-like" behavior, but it would be an interesting mechanic if the survivors had the ability to move the shit out the way with only a little bit of effort.

He may be in Japan, but he's an awesome teammate due to his awesome accent, which is possibly Australian (unless it isn't, in which case I beg your pardon).

It's never a good sign when one of your teammates says "whee tank is fun!" right after apparently walking through the burning remains of the gas station and dying (against tier 1 weapons).

Also, I learned today that if you open and then shut the alarm door really quickly, special infected still can't move through it as -ghosts-. This is the same breakable-by-normal-zombies-after-alarm-door the tank can't break (but can throw rocks through, like saferoom doors).

Also the same door that the tank routinely spawns beyond, so that you have very little chance of making it up the back stairs, crouched through the vent you have to break, down through the floor, out up onto the girders unless you immediately know what to do. The first two guys didn't know tonight, so we got the AI tank, awesome! :p

You have my pardon ;)

Anyway, I'll try to be more communicative next time. After 40 hours of silent public gaming, suddenly having a team to communicate with was a bit of a shock to my system!

It's okay, I'll continue to guess offensive accents. British? New Zealand?

Ah yes, I wouldn't want you to lose any sleep, pondering where I'm from. It's London BTW ;)

No fair, I'm from London, but I don't get a sexy british accent. Anyway, you should try to play more versus games with us, Marvel!

I wish the patch was up for 360. That way I don't have to piss Her0 and Gryphter off with the forklift in BH 2.

:lol :lol

Yeah, obviously the lack of the 360 patch forced you to melee the forklift in front of the door. Thanks for being a generic XBL douchebag and ending the game for us.

If you want some VS gaming, I'll be online later (from 2pm GMT)... and I can impress you with my limited understanding of Tagalog!

This game is so awesome, but please GAF, save me from playing in random games! Every single game I've played with friends has been fun; every single game I joined via lobby or in-progress has been a disaster...

My Steam ID is Remfin and I'm a night owl for sure...

I'm starting to just avoid Versus whenever I get the chance. I do poorly no matter which side I'm on.
I can agree, although I'm still trying to get better at it. I was really surprised the first time I played as the infected and realized how easy it was to die, easier than I had thought anyway.

I hope they patch in P2P hosting. What was Valve thinking when they made this game run on dedicated servers that are all located in the US? Seriously?
