I'll add you later today. I'm new to them too, what with Counter-Strike really being the only computer fps I've spent time on before this one.
Fuck. I am so sick of everyone wanting to play on expert. We make it to the second level, die a billion times, maybe make it to the third and then everyone quits out. And yes, I suck ... that's why I would like to play on a difficulty level that's reasonable. I just like finishing campaigns and I don't really care about achievements.

Rogue5 just got the game a few days ago, and that Rocket guy...Rogue was just fine on Advanced. I and at least a couple other players I play with don't seem to mind what difficulty is chosen.
Also, now I will not use a chain gun again. Being 1 off > *.

For a second there I thought you were just making fun of how bad I play.
Fallout, add me to your steam account; my id is -Rogue5-. We'll play some advanced... I've only beaten two chapters -- Death Toll and the first one.... So Dead Air I think is next in line (I'll probably try and do it tonight.)
My steam account has gotten kind of malformed... I've got small groups of people that I play different games with and I feel bad when I decline either group. Bare that in mind if I don't respond right away.

I'll be glad to play with you on expert once I get home from school next week, Fallout. I'm pretty used to it, and it makes the other difficulty levels easier for other people to learn how to play on expert if they use/learn similar strategies.

Cool. I'll either have it tonight (if my will weakens), or by tomorrow if I can hold out to bum off of my friend's employee discount.Red Scarlet said:
Regarding Steam, is it normal for your uploaded avatars to appear as red Xs at first? Also, it seems Steam has a built-in voice chat system, is that correct? I don't have a microphone of my own, but I can steal my brother's headset for the time being.
It's pretty much brand new, I built it myself. T'was my first time doing something like that. Core 2 Duo 3 GHz w/ 2+ GB of ram and a GeForce 9600 graphics card.Zzoram said:
I mostly built it just so I'd have a nice fast computer for my programming assignments from school. That, and my old one was going down fast.
Yeah, sorry you couldn't finish. Once we finally slogged through the fourth map (down one man and a couple of us bleeding out, IIRC), the finale went really well, at least in comparison to the rest of the campaign.fallengorn said:
Yep.RocketDarkness said:
And I'd be happy to play with anyone here on whatever difficulty you're comfortable with, just send Sciz_CT a friend request. I've got most of the TF2 crew friended, but it seems like the L4D pool is a fair bit larger.

I finally actually lived through a finale! Of course, it was a versus finale, but still, I got on the chopper!

Cool, cool. I still need to play with both of you guys sometime.

Yay an update. Me and my friends got kicked from a server and then couldn't remake it. I was hoping it would be for an update. Looks like it should fix a bunch of problems.

Woah. Not sure how I feel about this--it'll probably save me more grief than anything but still, why not just go with some sort of filter?Botolf said:
A surprising number of good fixes all at once, though I can only wonder how they made it through to release in the first place.Botolf said:December 4, 2008 - Left 4 Dead Update Released

Left 4 Dead
-Finding a dedicated server when starting the game from a lobby is now faster and more reliable excellent
-Versus mode is now locked to Normal difficulty good, landing on Expert or Easy Versus servers was ridiculous
-Difficulty on a server is now locked to the one set by the lobby reservation excellent
-Corrected a boomer suicide exploit aw, I wanted to try this
YES. Die, crappy servers!
YES. Die, crappy servers that thwart my attempts to play expert mode!
Good, though I actually haven't had this happen lately. I think my internet may occasionally die for no reason, but not TOO much and probably not related to Left 4 Dead.
Regarding the Boomer suicide thing, I never tried it, but eh. I guess we need more changes to make it harder for the vs. zombie players to do any damage. >_>

I thought that was a feature. Guess not. Now when are they going to release a patch that makes the smoker more of a danger?Botolf said:

Yeah, there was a discussion about it awhile back, with some people thinking that Valve knew about it and left it in on purpose.Botolf said:

man I dont know what kinda moon server i was on tonight with gorgie but crap we had 3 tanks at once :lol
SapientWolf said:
You must not be using your Smoker in conjunction with your Boomer. Once the humans get swarmed with the horde, and a hunter or two leaps half of em', they tend not to notice a teammate being dragged away into the darkness. You might not kill them, but you'll divide em' up enough to let some well-placed Hunter's mop em' up.
I could not finish blood harvest on expert. Call me a pussy, pansy whatever. We were a good team, all had headsets so we were communicating. We just couldn't get past the third part. Too many tanks, hordes. The director through a witch we couldn't avoid with a boomer hidden next to her and a horde!
I can't do expert.
I can't do expert.
What the fuck did Valve do?!?!?!
First, I was playing as Infected, and while it said "Waiting for Survivors to leave Safe Room", someone spawned as a Tank within 10 seconds of the Subway level of No Mercy, broke the Safe Room door.
Second, I was playing Versus, and 3 of the 4 Infected players were Tanks AT THE SAME TIME!
Has anyone experienced anything weird with the new patch yet?

Why bother? This is an online game.
Coin Return
Loose Slot
So long as you play on Advanced or Expert, it can be fun...but I wouldn't buy it unless I were planning on going online.Salazar said:

I really wish l4d had a "join server when slot opens" option. Trying to play some versus but all the games on my friends list are filled.
