It's even funnier now that I see one of us did him in. Sorry Pimpbaa!

True, but they haven't really done anything to change things up with CS. CS:S doesn't count, in my books. O: Maybe if they do, with CS2, I'll like it. But I have my doubts.

POINT IS. New IPs are cool. There's never been a one I didn't like from Valve. (Yes I'm aware L4D was originally Turtle Rock before Valve bought Turtle Rock.)
 
I see that Mr. Buckley has still failed to learn how to adequately frame a joke, and always manages to have one panel too many.
 
thanks for the games. clearly you can tell i have zero serviceable experience in fps despite a lifetime of pc gaming.
 
Somebody needs to make a Versus map that has the AI advance on their own, as it is, I want to play as infected for the entire match!
 
That Ctrl-alt-del was actually funny to me. I mean, making a joke out of rape isn't funny, but I kind of get the idea of what's being meant. I also like the "annoying horde" option. :D

I played through the entire farmhouse/cornfield/whatever campaign tonight for the first time, in versus mode. BY MYSELF for nearly the entire time after my one remaining teammate left. I mean, I'm annoying sometimes on voicechat, but not ALL the time. >_>

I managed to win overall on points vs. four guys, but they still escaped at the very end...at one point I died as the tank in like 20 seconds, and at the end when the vehicle left one of them had like 1 HP and I had left them for dead to try to finish off the remaining survivor. :(

It's really hard playing as the only one on a team though. AI humans are helpful in that they aim well, seem to take practically no friendly fire damage, don't shoot you, and sometimes help guide you through the level. Unfortunately sometimes they'll take a little bit to get a hunter off you.

But if you're on the zombies, you're the only special zombie that's ever around (there MIGHT be an occasional witch), and even a 5-second spawn time can only help so much...

*edit*

Oh, on at least one map the survivors DID only use pistols, though, so that almost certainly helped me with points overall.
 
Valve needs to fix the Achievements on PC ASAP! I know that I got some achievements but when I went to look at what I got, it wasn't there. I would really hate to work on something real hard to get and it didn't register.

Yeah, Zzoram didn't get an achievement after beating Dead Air for the first time a little earlier. Pretty weird.

did he die and have to be released from a closet at all?

That was SO AWESOME :D I was down to, and the only one left alive. I still can't believe it counted as a win.

I still need to get the No Mercy one. :/

Lol somehow out of the 4 level complete achievements this is the only one I still need to get.

Same boat. I died before the helicopter so I didn't get it, but I lived at the end of all the others. I almost was the only survivor to win Death Toll, but I had to take on a Tank by myself and failed.
 
Oh, well it didn't give it to me. I figured that since I lived for the others, that was why. I suck at using the Tank now after I killed all 4 in one go, too.
 
I really can't get enough of versus mode. I strongly hope Valve is working on making the other campaigns suitable for versus mode right now.

Not a very smart idea to fight a tank on the bridge...

Absolutely awesome. This guy managed to drag Francis straight into a fire and beat him down.

I was the smoker pulling you guys off the ledge and I was uncontrollably laughing so hard while doing it. :lol
whoa, that's a good idea. I'll try to do it as well.
 
Ah! So it was all your doing, Crooked. The haunted ledge.

I was a boomer up in the hay loft, and got a God's eye view of this. All three hunters pounced in perfect time. One, two, three. Syndicate was too blinded by bile to help. :lol

Awesome, I couldn't really tell what happened to the other guy at the time. We set that up perfectly.
 
Versus mode is 8 million kinds of brilliant in this game. They need to get the other 2 campaigns versus compatible pronto.
 
Gah I wish I could've been there. Though I was on a touchpad, I still wanted to try it afterwards but I got failed to connect everytime :(
 
PillowKnight said:

:lol Crooked Rain grabbed me, then you were trying to rescue me and he grabbed you, isn't that how it happened? I do remember the race to see if we wouldn't fall off the ledge and die before the map switched. I think we both barely held on when the map changed.

I should've capped it the last time I was just playing with Crooked/MutFox/Pop, I think it was, anyway. I knocked down one or two people as a Tank, and one guy ran wayyyyyyy the hell ahead of me. I had no way to catch him as a Tank, but he was at the 'house' with that jump you make from some rocks to the 2nd floor, and he fell over the ledge himself and our side won. :lol

Yeah, that was pretty awesome.
 
picked this up today (UK Release) and have three other close mates buying it with a run through planned for tomorrow, can't wait we have been looking forward to it for so long.

Will have a quick play this afternoon, cant wait to check out vs.

Newell looks weird in this comic.....the last pic also clearly doesn't happen anywhere near the helicopter. Also Francis' text bubble lacks any "I hate...." quotes!
 
it was so much fun playing as the tank in the 4th stage of "No Mercy". my team did a good job of grabbing a few guys, and the smoker set up a perfect target by holding down a guy. i basically knocked 3 of em off the building and the 4th was trampled by the infected and a hunter :lol
 
retail copy finally arrives, ahh well at least it was half the price i guess
