Yeah thats the other half of it. I really hope 2 either has those settings built in or that Frusmod gets updated for it real fast.

I'd assume Frusmod for the most part would work right off the bat assuming they didn't make too many changes to the variable names.

Unless they changed it a good bit, I found Dead City to be awful.

What sort of Dead City have you played? The ones I have have intense horde attacks and events autotriggered. So essentially you should be pumped or have ammunitions ready.

OH GOD I LOVE NIGHT TERROR! YOU AND YOUR GRANDCHILDREN SHOULD PLAY IT!

You're too kind, since I thought I was running off by myself and getting half-killed part of the time. At least it worked out in the finale!

Shadowlink's melee is overpowered though. I think the next mod should nerf him. :lol

As far as I can recall, the two times I went for him resulted in a 21 and 14 dmg pounce :lol

Any gaffers around who would like to try a custom map with me? Link is here, I've only played the 1st map but it was good enough to make me want to keep playing it. My steam id is BahaFS.

I install the hilarious teletubby mod. Will I get banned if I try to plan online? Would it work?
(I'm thinking that is a bad idea.)

If I want to uninstall, do I need to carefully deleted EVERYTHING? Can I just re-download the game? Do I have to wipe the current version to re-download (will random extra files cause a ban)?

So long as it isn't something that's considered cheating, you'll be fine. Some people even mod their game to make items stand out more and that's okay.

Yeah, thats what happened to me...trying to get out of it though :lol

Also: http://www.fileplanet.com/fileblog/

Decent 10 L4D map list? Think i'll try a few (I know i've heard some of these before) before inviting people.

EDIT: Frusmod?

New competitive standard replacing CEVO. You start with pills instead of kits in the saferoom. No kits at all except at the finale. All tier 2 weapon spawns are replaced with pump shotty, uzi, and hunting rifle. On map 5, you get ONE assault rifle and ONE auto shotty in saferoom and one of each at the finale radio. Infected have a 22 second respawn timer instead of 20 to 30 seconds. And tanks can't be prelight :D Basically prevents the survivors from surviving every map easily.

Also GAF game at 9 pm tonight!

Just played Blackout (custom map) with one of my other friends, Fallout, and Sonicspear.

Kind of a cool map, but the minuses have to be some weird spawning issues, a bit overuse with random crescendos coming around, and hardly any molotovs/pipebombs until like the last map.

But the finale map was pretty cool, if a bit anticlimactic. Gauntlet style, so it never ends till you get to the finish!

Yeah, it was good times for the most part. The unexpected waves of zombies definitely helped keep things interesting and the levels were short enough that I wasn't getting frustrated. I liked the gauntlet stuff at the end, too. I'd like to see more of that, actually.

Join a game, play it regularly, and if you do below average and you get flak, don't give a damn about it. It's a game, meant to have fun. Want to get rid of the flak? Mute them beforehand (I don't think you can mute ingame?D:)

Or join another game. Just play it, experience it, and get better with it.

Then find the asshole(s) giving you grief and sabotage their game! The majority of people won't care if you're new and they'll never give you a problem about it. It pisses me off so much when people can't start/enjoy a new game because there's an invisible "newbie barrier". Everyone starts at the bottom and people should learn to accept that

Great game last night Gaf, pretty epic stuff as usual. I always feel bad when I am on the winning team and we win more than one map :( However, Vert saving me on the bridge in BH4 was holy shit epic. I can't believe no hunters pounced me while I was laying there on the ground and that Vert some how out ran the tank, resurrected me, and we took out the tank before he was able to hit us. Lol at the haystack killing me in the finale... a true Blood Harvest.

Yea that was pretty epic. Not sure if I had the voice chat button held in, but as I was coming to rescue you, I shouted "I'M COMING FOR YOU STALLIONNNNN" :lol

How would anyone have any experience playing as the Infected without having just manned up and played some damn Versus mode?

For anyone reading this thread who doesn't play much VS, but wants to get into it, or plans to get into it in L4D2, I highly recommend in joining the random Gaf games that happen 3+ nights a week. It's always a fun group to play with and none of us are to serious. Epic shit is always happening. I only joined the group a month or so ago and it completely rejuvenated my interest in VS. Plus Vert's server has the best settings to make VS the most fun.

Click to expand...

They hate it because they have never played it (Except Twig) and they like the survivors to find thousands of medkits every map. And like to kill the tank in 3 seconds with tier 2.

Also do all you guys who play on my server use ventrilo? I'd like to start using ventrilo instead of the shitty ass voice system in L4D.

I just want to play the game the way it's set up, even with it's issues, because I'd rather do that than a way that the game is made to a point where the survivors have even more of an imbalance compared to the special infected.

:lol Vert. I've watched some vids of it. It's goddam awful.

Though I can't wait to see how FrusMod will help ruin the fun of L4D2!

While on the topic, is there any way to filter out these mods when joining games?

No need to filter. Almost no one except the competitive community uses CEVO/FrusMod

How is it imbalanced? Even with just 4 kits, survivors almost ALWAYS make it. Frusmod makes it more even and actually makes levels like NM4 or BH4 actually worth the 1.40 multiplier.

Also, watching vids of it doesn't mean shit. The gameplay is practically the same, just a tad harder for the survivors. There's no way you could tell if a config is awful from a video. Unless you were watching total noobs play or something in case even vanilla L4D would look awful.

I find it to be a lot more entertaining and rewarding to be limited to tier 1 and pills as survivor in VS. It doesn't bother me that we usually die, I feel like I earn every bit of distance in the map and no medkits pretty much requires that survivors be coordinated if they want a chance at surviving.

Just my preference though.

Vert, I'm buying a mic today I think so I will install Vent in preparation if we are going to switch.

Nice. In that case, you are coordinating from now on if you're on my team :lol
