If I play I won't be able to resist using glitches like this. I don't use the assault rifle thing though. :( Hopefully Valve includes patches for stuff like this in the update.

Also I didn't see an answer...are death toll and dead air official support in this update or is it only survival? Or does anyone know?

Uh, yes?

Tried playing this week. Game still isn't fun for me, the changes are too different, the melee on hunters is shit now.

Hopefully new maps will deliver.

You never can tell with Valve. I refuse to be deceived by you hope-inspiring people! Plus my big complainy post got lost on the last page because I edited. ;_;

DA and DT versus has been officially confirmed for ages now.

It seems to only work on a listen server and you need admin access for it anyway

That Zelda custom map is weird, but cool. The final boss is pretty sweet for being cobbled out of bits and not actually being a coded enemy. Also, the mapmaker didn't set up a finale, so everyone who played got Untouchables at the end. Even a person who joined during the end credits. Really odd.

Yeah, I got a little dizzy watching those clips because the guys controlling seemed to always spin their camera around looking at the ground or at odd angles because of the controller. It's a weird contrast to the KB+M where, for example, nearly anyone could have got a headshot on that smoker at the very end of the first video, but that guy only got a body shot or two.

And I've played a little bit of Death Toll on versus, and it's quite fun. Tanks on the first stage with all those cars in the tunnel and smokers in the second stage pulling people down after triggering the crescendo, all great fun. :D

I love this set except for the incredibly "desperate self-insertion fan fic" nature of the fifth guy they added. I'm sure there's more to the story but that's the first impression I got.
Click to expand...
pretty much, the fat guy they added pretty much has no charm and lacks any kind of unique character to the group. actually, i wouldn't be suprised if he was just being ironic or some shit.

is the retail version dropping on Tuesday as well? If so, shouldn't they have the update ready sooner?

It sucks that we still have to wait for the SDK.

me and a mate were thinking about this and while chatting we came up with what i think is probably the most reasonable and likely answer. we reckon one of the reasons microsoft allowed the DLC to be free was for them to ensure it released at the same time the pc DLC was released.

undoubtably they have had it ready for a few weeks now if its heading for retail so this was the best explanation we came up with!

They desparately need to add quick match with a party support; not just 4 player (I recall something about them adding specifically 4 on 4 matches). I'm getting really sick of waiting in lobbies forever with just 2 or 3 of us in a group waiting forever for people to join and then having them quit because no one else is joining in a vicious circle forever (at least on 360).

Retail release of the GotY edition for both 360 and PC aren't for another 2 weeks.

I can't wait for the update, but L4D still hasn't gotten old for me. Still trying to beat all the campaigns on Expert (DAMN YOU OVERLY-LONG DEAD AIR CHAPTER 3), and versus never gets old.

Finally got around to getting this on steam. Amazing game. One question though....is the only movie in the game the one that plays during the opening? Was really good and hoping there are more.

Pretty common question. Valve decided to cut out any kind of continuous story line to maintain a greater sense of replayability. That way it never feels like the zombie apocalypse ends and it just keeps going and going....which just supports the entire concept of the game.

I think this is my first post in this thread, but I wanted to say, I hate it when you get to final act on expert then we get disconnected from server. It turned a one hour or so campaign into two hour or more gaming session. :|

Sorry I'm never online right now, fellow GAFfers. School is draining most of my time, but fear not! I shall return in a couple of weeks. And I'll definitely be on Tuesday, once the patch goes live. But yeah, that's why I'm MIA. >.>

Oh, I beat all the campaigns on expert a long while back. Got the achievement.

THEN HAD IT TAKEN AWAY AND THOSE FUCKERS NEVER GAVE IT BACK.

Yeah, just hope you're not too torn up about zero achievements for it! :p

They'd be nice, but I'm still way off from getting the achievements for the main game, so no biggie.

I guess the leader board will be the true reward for those who really excel in survival. And, of course, videos. I can't wait to see the awesome videos.

It would have been cool if they had one opening movie for each campaign that would be randomly selected when you start the game. I would like to know why they were camping out so close to the freakin' zombies in Blood Harvest, or how they managed to get to that corner of the building in Dead Air.

:lol :lol :lol at some people flipping out online that 360 is getting the update first (at the usual 2am PT that Xbox Live stuff usually goes up), and PC is getting it "later in the day."

I'm soooooo excited, I'm going to wake up way earlier than usual and play (360).

Just found the 'survival pack' on the online Marketplace: 101 MB. Downloading now, but I'm not sure how it'll work if the title update hasn't kicked in yet. I'll download it first, then fire up L4D.

No sign of the title update, and I don't think the content can be accessed without that. I'll just sit and wait and occasionally fire up L4D for the next hour or two, I guess.
