Just Hosted an awesome Vs game of Dead Air with some gaffers. Went pretty well all things considered. Except for an awesome hack smoker pull. That was epic.
For me at least. Not so epic for Nabs

was me :p

was really bizarre getting pulled off a ladder and then remaining in that pose while i floated accross the fence for you :p thankfully the tank a few seconds later put an end to both teams hopes of getting any further :)

i think the finale tank was the longest i have been a tank for a good while!

definetly needs help. lets hope valve have done their job so that when it comes out its a more even experience.

Yeah, its actually not that hard hosting Dead Air or Death Toll versus. We recently did with Midnight Train hosting. You guys should try out the Zelda and Dead City maps. They're pretty fun.

Speaking to Ezekial about the Resident Evil games, I just wondered why there aren't any skins to have hunters in this replaced with hunters from RE...maybe the RE2/3 campaigns plan on doing that?

So if they're already matchmaking to skill, that means they store accuracy, kills, and the likes :eek:

They had those stats live on the community for about a day or two, but they didn't like something about them and pulled the pages.

Damn, I got totally owned by Scarlet last night. Instadeath pull on Blood Harvest 5, first and only time it's befallen me.

*shakes fist*

I wish I could make maps and stuff, because I'd totally like to make a custom campaign (complete with custom survivor/infected skins) based on the night of the living dead homeless parody episode from South Park. it even has a finale built in to the episode!

Me, Bus, and Panda tried out the zelda campaign last night. Was really fun, but it wasn't hard. Still want to try playing it on vs. Also, death toll is my new favorite vs campaign.

Hunter Games isn't bad as long as there aren't griefers on the other team that keep saying stupid shit.

Agreed. HG tends to draw in the griefers because the votekick function won't initiate, but I've had some decent games on it nonetheless (well when people weren't infinite vertpouncing to avoid being caught). Also I think they should switch up some of the maps. NM5 isn't great for pounce racing or hot lava and BH4 is too large for infection.

You should check out Naniwa City (a custom campaign). It's a bit rough at the moment and some people complain that it's way too open-ended, but it feels more like a city to me than with No Mercy. There are some pretty creative panic events as well.

Can someone tell me if it's normal that all my Achievements were reset during the night? I mean, all i did yesterday was playing an offline Single player campaign with a few cheats on for fun and i lost all my achievements i did online since i bought the game. So what, Steam reset your achievements if you decide to play offline with cheats on?

No idea, but I guess they don't like to count cheat achievements.

Anyone else having trouble trying to start Left 4 Dead? It says the Steam servers are too busy.

The Steam servers are currently to busy to handle your request. Please try again in a few minutes.

This is when I try to start Left 4 Dead. I've restarted Steam several times. What is going on?

They're having problems again. Usually they fix it pretty quick. Also probably why he can't see his achievements.

We had an awesome No Mercy-Blood Harvest Versus bout tonight.

Vert, PillowKnight and I were assigned the same team for both campaigns, we won both.

We had a terrible No Mercy-No Mercy-Blood Harvest Versus tonight.

Nabs, and I were assigned the same team for all three campaigns, we lost them all but in BH5 pulling Pillow off the edge to his doom made up for everything.

ugh. new bug found but apparantly some users had known about since the first week or so allows you to shoot an entire clip in the space of a normal burst (for the uzi and the m16).

hope that one gets fixed asap as tanks and witches dont need that against them :(

Well, I was just barely getting excited for the DLC to come out, turn on my Xbox to play some versus, and red ring. :(

Thing wasn't even a year old. :lol

Does anyone want to play some custom maps in a little while? The only one I've done so far is that 5-level Japan thing and I don't really know what else is good.

I just started playing this online on Live a few days ago even though I've had it for a little over a month. I've always been very apprehensive about playing with strangers, but I've been having such a blast online compared to single player (which is no simple feat since i fucking love single player)

On the whole most of the people have been pretty civil, gameplay wise (I don't use the headset so I can't say how much shit talking is going on), but there was this game I came into midway through where one of the guys kept shoving me in the elevator portion and that I was eventually kicked out by. I'm not sure what was up with that.

If anyone in here plays on Live, feel free to add me (sn: "hubristol").
