I hate pricks who do the dumpster trick in the elevator in no mercy. It's bullshit. That shit needs to be patched so humans can move it.

True enough and I end up screaming this into my mic about 50 times every time I play with a new person.
Only time you pounce is when you think you can stay on for 5+ hits or if you are going to get a 25 damage super pounce. Any other time and you've wasted your respawn.
When the entire enemy team gets vomited on provides a great opportunity to blend in with the mob and do real damage when they think you're just another zombie. Great spot for this is the very beginning of the No Mercy subway level, particularly with an enemy team that plans on running... and fails.
Last night my friend and I were frustrated by our shitty random teammates so we played No Mercy on Normal instead of our usual Advanced. My friend and I mowed through it despite our teams best efforts to suck.
I can safely say that the game on Normal is half as good as the game on Advanced... I added a bunch of NeoGAF gamertags from the online matchup L4D thread in hopes that a few of you will be on whenever we want to play. Death to shitty random team mates!

What is a super pounce? Is that off a building or something? If so they don't make that very clear in the game.Woo-Fu said:

Pounce damage seems to scale with the height from which you fall upon your target. Pounce from really high up, get 25 damage, pounce from right next to them, get maybe 5.
There are youtube vids you can check out to see how it varies.
Edit: important thing appears to be hunter velocity at time of impact, pouncing from high up gravity gives you some good acceleration on your way down, whereas your horizontal speed is mostly capped regardless of where you jump from.

any xbox UK/Euro players here that wanna play?

I'm pretty decent but don't know probably more than half of 'the tricks' still haven't got the achievements for finishing dead air or the one with the boat. Played them both right through the end, but never started from scratch right to the end.
Crown3d the witch the othernight. That was satisfying! Got the witch hunter achievement right along with it.
I love chasing achievements in this game for some reason.
Played a little vs, however I don't ever spawn as anything other than hunter most of the time
Got 3 in 1 spew with the boomer, so close to 4 for the achievement.
Is there any secret to headshotting a hunter in mid pounce? I'm tryin, but usually just get pounced
if so add me

Well there are a few other uses for the pounce, such as knocking other players off ledges with the 'stagger' effect. But yeah, if I can't coordinate something with the other Infected I love to just run in and slash away.Woo-Fu said:
I also managed to pop one of my few remaining L4D cherries the other night: finally smoked someone out of the No Mercy elevator as it was closing. Best feeling.

i got this for christmas and only played about 20 min of it before i left to go to my grandma's house, and enjoyed what i had played, but i finally got a chance to play a whole level/instance/chapter/whathaveyou last night (Body Harvest, cuz my friend said the cornfield part was awesome) online with a couple buddies, and i was blown away. This game is fucking fantastic, I love it.
Weird glitch on nm5. Whenever the survivor team died, the round "restarted" (it did the score calculations and everything) but it never reseted the map so in essence it merely respawned the survivors. A bit like that +lobby glitch actually. Other strange things happened, like sometimes a survivor spawned at the bottom of the map, probably due to bot warping trickery. The game kept going on even after the survivors finally made it to the helicopter, though next round the survivors were invincible and infected stopped spawning. Unfortunately the helicopter was also frozen midair.

Played through the 4 stories with a friend last night - good few hours of zombie nonsense, loved it. Except I died at the end of one of them, and we had a powercut during another so it wasn't a straight runthrough, so I'm down on 2 of the stories (boat and no mercy) achievements.
UK Xbox player, decent skill, just up for a laugh really if people want to play. First time playing the full game last night, got 270G. GT: JonathanEx

great.
I need the boat as well. Just added you via the xbox.com website, hope that works.
I also am chasing the 'do not disturb' achievement. Go through entire campaign without waking up a single witch. It's harder than it sounds playing public :lol

Just bought this game, is there really no way to save in the safe houses or check points when you turn the game off? Just played through 3 safe houses and had to leave the house and couldn't figure out how to save and lost all my stats when I restarted . Other then that game is mad fun

Nope, no saving. You have to play through the entire campaign if you wanna get the achievement for beating it.

Going through the levels for the first time, not knowing what the fuck to do while 30 zombies fucking BUMRUSHED my face was one of my greatest gaming experiences this year. Experiencing that with 3 other bots would have just been criminal.

Perfect world: new campaign, playable in versus.
Decent alternative: DT/DA rebuilt for versus.
New achievements would be nice too.

I'm getting this tomorrow. I need some GAFers to play with.

I hope the new campaign introduces new game play elements, like maybe a vehicle segment where the survivors are escaping on a truck or something for one of the stages. I just feel like a new campaign without new elements would just be a reskin of an older one with the "horde trigger" parts rearranged.

hoping for some game play changes too. I know people who have played the game as much as me are in the minority, but I really feel like I've seen everything the game has to offer. Nothing surprises me anymore.
game is still fucking fun, though. Shooting zombies never gets old.

A few friends and I were having fun on easy on the finales yesterday. We were just seeing how long we could survive without getting on the rescue vehicle. It was pretty entertaining running from 2 tanks at once, and watching people get thrown off the roof on No Mercy.
Using the mini-gun glitch, I managed to get in a tree on Death Toll, and had two tanks help each other to get up and get me.
Good times.
If anyone wants to play any time after 5:30 EST (I'm up for anything), add MisterRosewater (Xbox Live).

I have to retract my statement about Xbox Live; recently, people have started to play more Blood Harvest and people don't use the glitches that much anymore.
I'm usually playing with my 2 IRL friends. We're always looking for someone to join us, or play against us.

Blood Harvest on expert is soooooooo hard. :lol
Alright. I got this for Christmas for my brother and have had only a bit of time to put into it. I've gone ahead and added some of you from this thread to my Xbox Friends list, but if anyone's looking to get a game together (with a relative newbie to the game) hit me up at: Space Donkeys.
What I've played I absolutely love so far!
What I've played I absolutely love so far!
last week i had THE WORST time trying to play expert with randoms on the 360.
five games in a row i got paired up with dumbfucks. one game i got shot in the back about 5 times before i made it to the first ladder on Death Toll.
sooo much friendly fire. sooo many people who hadnt completed the episodes at all, much less on a lower diffculty. so many jackasses.
it was depressing.
since playing the 360 version (a good bit less than the PC version in truth) i have only added one person to my FL. a guy who created a Dead Air expert lobby. we started with 2 randoms (one who was actually competent, but had to leave less than half way though. wish i had added him too!), and then as they quit we just had a whole string of randoms in and out of game as they died over and over. finally the guy who started the room and I both made it to the plane in the finale, alone.
98% of everyone else has been pretty much worthless. i think ive been having really bad luck though. im sure there are quite a few more people out there playing L4D 360 who arent completely useless. i just need to find them!
PM'd.
aw, fucking BOO!

I fucking hate this, and I don't play No Mercy anymore on Xbox because of it. It really happens every other game, and if they don't do this, they've at least done the goddamn wall breaking exploit on the map before it.catfish said:
They patched this on the PC a month ago, so I'd expect it to come for the 360. Who knows how long it'll be held up by Microsoft though.
I'm also hoping they'll update No Mercy 5 to be like it is on the PC, where the weapons and health are up top with the turret rather than in that room below where everyone ends up turtling.
