We beat Power Station!

Yes, and it twas a blast. Dodgy level/artistic design in a lot of areas, but it makes up for it in difficulty and sheer amount of laugh-your-head-off moments.

:( I need to find friends who don't go AFK for half an hour or just give up! Preferably at a time where I can IM Bulleta questions when I get stuck. >_>

That looks great, but would be illegal to download due to movie sound clips/sound files. :(

If I were to guess, he stuck Fellowship of the Ring music on top of the actual video, not ingame.

Beat the Silent Hill 2 one..it was interesting but the puzzle stuff was kind of confusing for a bit and made it feel a lot longer.

Concept was good, execution was lacking.

Oh, and when that Hunter jumped out of the locker at you... :lol

That was Mr. X style stuff there. Genuinely made me jump.

I was able to read the map..that makes things a little easier! Gotta pay attention to where the dot is in relation to the buildings! But the 'go here to find random glowing dot to set off a horde and unlock a door somewhere else on the map' was annoying until we started splitting up.

I guess Mutfox wants to try Dam It, Escape from Toronto, and The Mortuary.

So if anyone has those and wants to try them out, give him or I a hollar.

I'll try to be on for any of those tonight. I keep missing all the custom campaigns. =(

If you have Mutfox on your list, see when he's around. I doubt I'll be able to play them after dinner until later tonight; 24 S4 last disc came in tonight and I'm pretty sure my mom is going to want to marathon it.

Yay! Another L4D session missed. And sorry to those who sent me messages within the past week, I have a tendency of leaving my computer on while taking the weekends off.

Thats worse than when I accidentally lit you on fire near launch/late demo.

I positioned my view to watch it happen then laughed!

That's what is fun about Power Station, just watching other people instantly die and laughing about it. :lol

For those of you for whatever reason haven't played Silent Hill yet or whatever, the video I mentioned a few pages back was finally finished. I wish Youtube didn't have that stupid time limit, I really needed more room to cram everything...

Wow so I finally got this far by myself in this Powerstation campaign but cant seem to figure out how to get past these lasers?

I looked around for a switch and found one but all it did was call a horde. Any tips?

Jump on the rail beside the laser and walk up.
Though on the floor below that, there are 2 switches to hit, I think it's the right switch.

Jump up onto the railing, and you can walk up the railing past the lasers or jump up onto the railing and jump into the 'window' behind you
.

Watch out for Smokers though.

Thanks for the info :D I found a game in progress on map 2 tonight and finally completed the whole campaign. Seems map 3 was the most challenging.

No bunny hops? Banning the 28F vents? What babies.
Click to expand...

Banning the vents makes no difference, those vents are complete shitholes to hide in and there's a spot 1000 times better.

As for no bunny hops...I don't know why they did that. It doesn't really affect the game TOO much though.

All I know is TANKS EVERY LEVEL AND NO KITS FUCK YEA

"Bunny hopping with the hunter to increase damage pounces is illegal"

? never seen that..do they mean insta-pouncing?
Click to expand...

No. Basically when your looking between -10 and 10 degrees and pounce, you hit jump as soon as you touch the floor. This causes a bunny pounce which sends you flying a little bit farther and the damage is calculated as if you never hit the ground. Good way to get 11 to 16ish pounce damage in corridors and stuff where you dont have access to roofs or other buildings.

You can also push a survivor if you land directly in front of one when the hunter has his hands out after a bunny pounce.

Red Scarlet said:
Ah. Weird.
Click to expand...
Yeah. Basically, bunny hopping doesn't reset your pounce distance, so you can get respectably-damaged pounces in narrow hallways and the like. It's also great for getting about in a hurry. I've practiced it a bit, but it's still far too unreliable for me at the moment.

Can you make a demo?

I made a demo before I saw RD's post. :(

I'll just post it .dem form in case anyone wants a short 5 sec vid on what it looks like :lol

I think these are the same fucken servers that kick you for lighting a tank on fire. It's stupid.

Wat? The tourney has to be held on private servers.

Also I'll gladly get rid of bunny hopping for TANKS EVERY LEVEL AND NO EXTRA KITS FUCK YEA

Anyone that was actually playing competitively (lol) would already have that set up, so it's really just getting rid of valid tactics for no good reason. Fail.

It almost sounds like there are no medkits at all, not even the ones in the safe room.

I'd watch the matches if there was a way. :( Who knows what you might see/learn.

Nah, no kits means no extra kits. Just the one that always spawn.

As for what you would see/learn, it prolly wouldnt be too much. We all pretty much know everything except for how to attack as a team effectively. Something that can't really be learned thru watching. Most your see if some of the advanced hunter stuff if you don't already know them. Then again, I wouldn't mind being wrong on this :D
