BTW thanks for inviting me last night vertopci. (This is Everdred) Was my first GAF game. I'm down to play any time you see me on. I usually play with a mic but didn't use it last night.

No problem. We almost always play on thursday and either friday, saturday or both. Usually around the same time. So if you're on, just join the server.

Also we played two games with the FrusMod/Modded CEVO config...and oh god...it's the greatest fucking thing ever. Matches are really intense for survivors :D

It says something about the design of the dead air finale when both teams completely survive, with three tanks, pills instead of medkits at the start of the map, and only one assault rifle and pump shotgun.

I do think that pills provide an interesting tradeoff on the finale, though, since using them seems to give you around the same health as a medkit, but takes effect much faster, potentially allowing you to survive a dangerous situation.

Some of those settings are the dumbest things I've ever seen.

And the running back all the way to the safe room when a tank comes = stupid and boring. Fight like a man!

To be fair, the infected attacks from both sides were complete shit/fail during the finale. Though DA finale isn't exactly designed the best either...

You've haven't played a GAF game recently...with kits the teams almost ALWAYS survive. No kits = harder = more fun.

And you can fight like a man and die. I'll run back like a bitch and LIVE to fight like a man another day.

I like how you say the first thing is more fun, then you do something that's the complete opposite of fun and ruins the fun for other people.

It's either run back and kill tank or stay there and die. Not really a hard choice...

And I'm not sure how that would ruin the fun for other people. Unless fun for them is killing the survivors easily

But harder is more fun, you said it yourself! Stop all dat backtrackin

If you didn't suck, you could kill the tank when you saw it.

Don't take kits from survivors, say more difficulty is better, then do that tank wimpy tactics. Yeesh.

Good luck killing it on DT1 in the tunnel then! Or on DA1 on the roof where you can be punched off!

And harder != stupid choices.

Too bad removing two of the tier 2 weapons == stupid choices. Let's take away both medkits AND actually useful weapons!

And I've killed tanks in the tunnel on DT1, ya nub.

It's not a choice the survivors can make --;

Also those tanks you killed in DT1 tunnels are nubs.

It's either leave kits and tier 2 weps and let teh survivors pretty much stroll most of the levels, or take them out and actually make them do something.

I've seen survivors get wrecked with both of those, so either you're sitting on some sort of pedestal saying one of the teams MUST be awful to have lost there, or you're just wanting to make the infected's job infinitely easier.

Do they tell you to go to stupid places where everyone gets incapped?

We had one guy that came in almost at the end of DT2, then he walked back to the beginning...after walking past me being smoked then huntered. Thankfully AI Bill walked back to the end and picked the other 2 up when they had about 10HP.

This is probably a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyways.

I was looking to pick up Left 4 Dead for the 360 (my PC is crap), and this store nearby has the original version for $24 and the GOTY version for $30. Is there any real reason to get the GOTY version over the original version? I thought that the stuff included in the GOTY version could be downloaded for free anyways, but I just wanted to make sure.

Get the original version.

GOTY has survival DLC which is free.

GOTY for 360 provides the free DLC right out of the box. But it's not a big download, so get the original. Sadly, crash course DLC is not free.

Well, this game is slowly but sure teaching me how to kb/m. With nay luck I hope to be pretty decent by L4D2.

Haha just play with the AI for a while until you get comfortable moving around and stuff. Then start getting online and playing with other Gaffers that will teach you the ropes.

If you want to run with campaigns with someone, I'm on most nights and I like any difficulty. My steam name is Stallion Free and I'm on most nights around 8pm (east coast)

Even now I still read it as Stalin the Free.

You should change your name.

You've never even tried them! Pretty much everyone else who has played with it liked it better

Good for them. That + the tank tactics you employ already hit me with a wave of "not fun"

Only time running back is used is when tank spawns on a roof or by cars...it's pretty stupid to fight a tank at those spots :/

Tank will just predict which side you'll dodge and throw rocks there. 50/50 chance. One will hit you then tank will just run up and smash you till incap. Or he could just hit a car in a tunnel...which is pretty hard to dodge no matter what you do.

Plus you have the special infected ready to attack as well to distract you.

Volk you should grab your friends and scrim against us, to put your idea to the test. We're always looking for guys around our level to practice against, and now we even have a server!
