Do people on GAF play vs. regularly? I know some play the customs (bulleta, etc.).

I wouldn't mind playing in some GAF games. Gets old sometimes crushing randoms.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
So I got a new HD4890 and I can run everything up wtih 60fps (8xAA, 16x Anisotropic and so on) but one thing is disappointing me: the draw distance. The texture on the dishwasher/oven thing on Blood Harvest wouldn't even appear until I got pretty close, and I was in the next room. Same with large boulders and things like that. Is there anything to do about this?

So new SI revealed according to destructoid

We got word of a brand new Special Infected coming to Left 4 Dead 2 from reader Josh, which we promptly followed up with Valve to get official confirmation. Those attending PAX will be the first to witness the arrival of The Jockey, perhaps the most annoying-yet-awesome sounding Special Infected of them all.

The Jockey is a smaller zombie who jumps on the backs of Survivors and tears them apart from behind. Not only that, but he gets to control the movements of the Survivor while he's doing it, meaning that Versus Mode just got a whole lot crazier. Sounds like a helpful little guy who'll help guide the Survivors into ambushes and other desirable locations.

That's all we know so far. We'll get to see him in the flesh at PAX.

Oh good another excuse to hide in the corner and melee.
I liked where they were going with the other new one that spat poison area effect. This one, if it functions kinda how I visualize it, is a step back.
It also seems like it kinda makes the smoker obsolete. Why pull in one direction when you can control in any? Why bother with unreliable pull lag time?

Maybe because if you're not a terrible smoker you try to attack from places where you can quickly duck back into hiding, and the jockey, on the other hand, will be RIGHT IN YOUR FACE?

tried my hand on Survival last night.

90% of games where people trying to glitch. 9.9% where people playing bad.

Where is the last 0.1% ? Where where you GAF! helpeds! :D

Smoker is ranged, this one is not and regardless there's no reason for the special infected to be equally powerful. Your whole post was a rather nonsensical really.

You can still glitch the maps in survival? I knew how to do 1, which was fixed, and never figured out lighthouse, which afaik was fixed, and RocketDarkness talked about the drains one, but I've never seen it..there are still some others?

The Drains and The Crane at least still haven't been fixed. And there are probably some others.

Don't worry, we'll have a ton of games.

I hope the group is a success. It's such a good idea, and such an awesome name.

I hope it lasts longer than most Steam GAF groups. Otherwise by the time I get back to America (one and a half weeks!) it'll be done and over with. ):

Blinded by the luminous glory that is David Bowie's physical manifestation.
Man, the L4D 360 community is fucking piss-poor.

"TheSeks has joined the game!"
Kick player: TheSeks?
YES, YES, YES, NO

You have been kicked from the game!

Over and over and over.

SMH Valve. And SMH at the players that do that shit. If you don't want people joining your goddamn game that's what the "create private game" option in all 360 games is for.

ARGH!

I don't like playing on your server, Vert. My connection + New York = blaaaaah.

That and it's boring.

How is it boring...it's versus mode. Also 170 to 200 ping isn't that bad for L4D. Your fault for living on the west coast instead of the awesome east coast! :p
