Switching the teams around? Never seen it happen. Are you talking about the new change where the losing team of the round plays infected first?
I was running into a lot of invisible walls at death toll after the church. I just wanted to sit on top the buildings.Nabs said:

Nope, not that... Our teams consisted of my four friends vs four random guys. After the first round ended (we both had our turns), when the next chapter started... One of our guys was on their side and we had one of theirs! And it kept going back and forth until we finished the campaign....

You'll see a lot of 'Death Toll sucks/rocks' and 'no, Dead Air sucks/rocks' for a week or so until people get a handle on what's possible as infected. Then hopefully they will both rock.Orellio said:

I'm getting ready to jump in to left 4 dead but I would like to ask, is there any resident evil mod's or character swaps out there? and if so which are the best or most fun.

The long stun seems to only be in survival mode; I only played about 2 rounds of a vs match but it seemed to be the same.
Looks like 15:12.57 (DA4) and 14:32.50 (DT4) were the best times I got today..but the best overall was BH5 when we were going to go for medkits from the barn to the house, and I was the only one that ran out, got a medkit, and returned up the barn myself. That was :lol .

Yeah, I saw her out of the corner of my eye in between the barn and house, and was about to drop out, when I saw she was running back.

I thought I heard "let's go for medkits" so I dropped out, and after those 2 Hunters, I just said eh and went for it.
There were 2 Hunters outside when I landed, and I killed them, and I don't remember any other specials the rest of the way. There was maybe 1 Smoker by the Boomer at the bottom of the ladder. That's all I can think of. I think if we were all by the ladder for non-Tank time then going to the corner by the hole for Tank or the other corner would have gotten us more time, who knows.
RD already got all the bronzes for all the maps. :lol
I think every lobby I was in it made me Louis each time, too.

I wanna see how you handle the Crane, Red. For me, that seems like the most brutal survival level.

Apparently there's a spot where you can kind of slide down the cliff face, and nothing except smokers can get you, unless something makes a lucky jump.Amir0x said:

the map/game is broken after 14-16 minutes, tanks stop spawning and after about 25-30 mins even the SI seem to give up.
shame because thats really when it should be kicking in with maybe even 3 tanks and it suddenly drops off.

What I don't understand is why they don't cheat it for a time that's just long enough to be believable. No one hesitates for a second over whether 150 minutes might be a genuine record.MNC said:

Oh man, we totally did this last night. Kept trying to find a good spot, so my friend suggests the bathroom. We hole up and the entire place just crumbles. One of us gets dragged and we turn around to see what was left of our strategic vantage point engulfed in flames. It ended shortly after that. :lol

syllogism said:
Did you go 2x2 around the ammo then rush the Tanks or go to the far-off corner? Or something else? We didn't really do anything in particular and pretty much went 'out in glory' after the 10:00 mark.
Is it after 16:00 that Tanks stop? Cause both times I've been in a game where we hit 14:00+, we were still getting Tanks.
We were to left of the ammopile, between it and the table. The tank almost always came from left and as long as our shotguns were loaded it didn't get a single hit in (since they've only like 2500 hp in Survival). Smokers always climbed up the ladder and hunters seemed relatively rare compared to smokers. 15+min in we often got 5-6 smokers at once but not much they could do there.Red Scarlet said:
My guess is tanks sometimes/often stop spawning because some special infected get stuck and they hit some special infected cap or something. Then again I don't think we got more tanks even after we ran around and killed some lost boomers/hunters.

Ah, I was in that spot and someone else was, and 2 were on the other side of the hay, and one guy kept getting huntered when he ran for ammo. If we were all on that left side, I figured we'd get Tanks down pretty low as it climbed up, then we'd just run back and shoot it to death from our reload, but we never tried it.
Looks like not many people do the Dead Air finale, I think I only had about 7 people from my list that played it and the top time was 4:xx.

had GG's on Dead Air finale tonight actually.
We all hopped on top of the plane that you normally would escape in
Biggest problem was the Smoker's. Regular Infected, Tanks cant get to you, although Hunters occasionally could get you if you were near the tail of the plane.
There is a little trick to getting there I got 8:31...someone on my friends list has 24 minutes

I got 8:31...someone on my friends list has 24 minutes Survival is awesome, I can't believe some of the times you guys are putting up. My group of players are no slouches and we are struggling to break silver on most of these.
The new vs. maps were a much needed shot in the arm for the online multiplayer community for this game. Playing No Mercy over and over again(because no one likes to play Blood Harvest on 360) had gotten dull because everyone used the same strategies for both Survivors and infected. Hopefully Valve can churn out a few more maps for Live DLC. I'm not going to hold my breath though. Looks like I will probably double dip and pick this up for PC.

I got knocked up onto the the wing by a Tank, but never actually leaped onto the plane..will have to try to figure that out.
Played some early morning random rounds last night. Pretty fun. Earned a bronze after a few tries on the "crane" level. Then moved onto "baggage claim" and on the first try earned a silver. This is great. Perfect for quick gaming sessions.
<3 Valve. Treating games like an MMO is awesome.

Is Dead Air Survival the easiest one? Seems like it, from reading everyone's account. (Personally haven't tried it yet.)
Nabs said:
Yeah, I got the impression Death Toll is rather sloppily done. At least they seem to have added some cover and some ladders, but the roofs are REALLY annoying. In some places you can climb a ladder up to a low roof, but when you go to jump up on a roof that would allow you to get maybe a 12-15 damage pounce, you find the roof is NOT finished (i.e. looks transparent), and there are invisible walls. Ugh.

I've only done DA4 and the finale, and we pretty much played halfass on the finale, but by hanging near the fence that the van normally breaks (and by the nade counter/corner by the fence), we got about 12 minutes on an early try, and 15+ in the women's bathroom on (some of us) the first try. It seems pretty easy along with the BH finale one out of the maps I've played (less than half).
If I play any more survival, I want to play it with Scarlet. ;_; I want to see what it's like on a team that easily gets 10 minutes on stuff.
...or then again, maybe if I join such a team they will lose terribly. I promise to not set off gas cans INTENTIONALLY around survivors, at least at first!
