But what's the point? I don't know who was controlling the tank, but I'm glad we didn't spend 10 minutes throwing rocks. We were getting our asses kicked. Having a long drawn out tank when we were already mathematically eliminated would have been a waste of time.

And I understand the bolded part. But I still say removing the AR plays up the game's weaknesses even more.

See that's pretty much giving up and not trying. You might not have had a chance to win, but at least give it your all.

And no matter which way you look at it, AR and auto shotty are overpowered. Especially against tanks.

Geez, looking through this thread, it appears my innocent question on Frusmod really brought out the two L4D factions on Gaf :lol

Vert, I got my mic and it appears to be working fine so I can try coordinating next time I play.

YES! Now I can just chill when playing gaf games!

I wasn't controlling the tank. After Jenga PMed something, I said during the first level we were gonna get slaughtered, but we'll go down swinging. And I played like I was trying to win.

That said, when you're getting slaughtered, it's not very fun (I feel that way even on the winning team.) It wouldn't have killed you guys if you'd just taken your chances flanking the tank with your shotties and if you kill him, great, and if you don't... so what? Instead of winning by 6000, you win by 4000.

Any idea when the demo will be unlocking? :D


I am devastated that Steam screwed up the release date for the Aus Borderlands, so I am stuck waiting for that for 3 days. :lol

Eh, I'd be kinda upset if the other team just said fuck it and took their chances on a move that they didn't deem optimal because they were winning by 4000.

You said the uzi is a piece of shit as well as boring. If it helps a team win, how can it be shit?

No. I said the uzi is a piece of shit BECAUSE it is boring.

So I ask again: the hell's that got to do with anything I said?
You realize we've played other teams besides GAF right?

Hunters will be rather useless if the smoker and boomer can't spawn in.

Now you're being intentionally difficult.

There is ABSOLUTELY nothing fun about sitting there throwing rocks at a bunch of survivors cowering in the distance. Nothing.

If you think that's fun, I'm sorry, but you're bad and you should feel bad.

Anybody want to join Scarlet and I to play my No Mercy-Crash Course-Death Toll compilation campaign later? 'Tis called Fairview, Scarlet's hosting it on her site in 7z (recommended) and zip formats.

- One pickup per weapon rule
- Some jumbling of healthpacks/ammo piles in spots
- NM2 crescendo converted into a barebones "rolling" crescendo
- No Mercy 5 checkpoints to Crash Course 1
- Crash Course 2 checkpoints to Death Toll 1

Hey, after some blabbing, Botolf decided to try making an ubercampaign consisting of No Mercy->Crash Course->Death Toll as one campaign. He changed around spawn points, made tier 2's show up a little differently (like 1 on NM2 or 3 or something), and I think he got medkits to be in other places than the safe room too. He made a rolling crescendo (or more than one) and all that jazz too. He and I are looking for 2 other people!

You can grab the campaign to put in the addons folder here:

7zip (93mb): http://redscarlet.paragonsigma.com/L4D/fairview_1.0.7z
zip (158mb): http://redscarlet.paragonsigma.com/L4D/fairview.zip

Forgot to add that T2s arrive "on the scene" a bit differently.

- Hunting Rifle first appears on NM2
- M16 first appears on NM4
- Autoshotgun first appears on CC1

I don't care about mods! I still want to play old campaigns! (Well I do care about mods, I haven't played any yet. But I still like normal ol' default campaigns!)

Who wants to play one right now?! Lewl.

I didn't say they weren't. But I haven't even come close to fulfilling my enjoyment quota for the official campaigns, so...

And now that L4D2 is coming out, and all the custom campaigns will work out of the box for L4D2... well, you understand.

I blame the six-month break I had to take while I was in Japan. Otherwise I'd have easily fulfilled the aforementioned quota. ):

Well no one ever invites me to play, except vert's crew, and whenever I ask if there's room, there isn't. I would gladly play anything!

FrusMod is clearly the best mod!

GAF game tonight at 9:45 pm est.

Also, L4D2 servers are roughly $100 for a year. Anyone on GAF want to help pay for it? :D

I'll probably end up getting it either way.

So some friends of mine and I played through the Suicide Blitz campaign, which was great fun, and very well polished (though the crescendo was waaaaaaaaaay too easy).

Any recommendations for other campaigns? Cheers :)



fake edit: I saw that mashup mentioned earlier, but it sounds like it would take hours and hours :/

I will definitely chip in. I loved L4D but Gaf VS has really made the game for me and I look forward to L4D2 VS.

It's been a while since I've played any L4D1 so if we play that I could use some pointers on the new stuff. I've played Crash Course a total of ONE time :lol

Updated again and delay of release till later today:

Small update, we're expecting a slight delay in release time for Dead Before Dawn due to some problems that occured during the upload to the site (so Darth needs to re upload it, and his connection isnt the fastest). Were now aiming for a release of 10-11PM GMT. Sorry for the delay.

We just played CC last night and I coordinated for a team that had little experience on it and we whipped Vert and Nabs team on the second map.
