The Official Left 4 Dead Thread

I got kicked from a team today for meleeing the generator back away from the elevator.

"Dude, what are you doing?"
"It's an exploit. I don't want to cheat."
*VOTE CAST*

Another team moaned when I told them not to bash open the rolling door on No Mercy 3.

Patch, please.

Bright side of today: finally got Lamb 2 Slaughter. Only All 4 Dead, Zombicidal Genocidist, and Nothing Special remain. I don't think I'll ever get that last one unless I find three other players willing to grind it out with me.

Most of the people I've run into who've gotten Nothing Special and Stomach upset have used the exploits that allows you to get them within minutes.

fun fact before i joined that game capndrake had voice-spam griefed red scarlet off the server.

Yep, and I'm never playing in the same lobby as him ever again. Do not invite me if he is playing in there.

I've been booted for politely suggesting we boot a guy after he had blocked the elevator and used the door punch exploit on the previous map. The 360 community for this game is mostly total scum. Why play a zombie shooting game if you don't want to shoot zombies?
 
The TWO GLARING ISSUES Valve needs to do something about:

1) AFK lobby leaders.

2) The infamous "rage quit" where people leave Versus matches because they are losing.

The first one needs an auto-kick (or auto-switch-the-leader) and the second needs some kind of penalty to deter them, like keeping track of each time you drop out of a VS match, and then have a system set up which shows everyone your "score". Or better yet, have it set up in Ranks where people who rarely/never drop out get to group up together avoiding the others.

A dashboard glitch, one player host a room and starts at the finale then invites everybody else. They join the room from the dashboard and if they fulfill the requirements get the achievement.

I've only used it to get Nothing Special after getting scratched by a Hunter as I was running into the helicopter in No Mercy. I was so damn close...

Pretty much. Combine the Dead Air finale exploit and this one, you can get them within minutes. Just requires a host willing to let 3 other people do it.
 
Patch Please! Come on Valve, officially announce something. Squish the exploits!

I think we're waiting on Doug Lambardi to finish his vacation =].

I agree with #2, though it means I'd never be able to play with one of my friends again :lol Guy ragequits probably 90% of the time.


The only problem is I quit out of matches when it's clear everyone is just griefing or whatever... what to do about rationalquits, not just ragequits?
 
I have a hard time understanding whether Red Scarlet was being sarcastic. Capndrake is cool peeps. What could he possibly have been saying to get Red Scarlet that upset? That's what really should have been recorded.
 
All I do is spam "Pills here!" I'm fairly certain almost every single person here has some quote bound to a key as well. Scarlet's the only person I've ever heard complain about voice command spamming, but even she has stuff bound.

I'd be willing to do it.
 
I have stuff bound, and have a third quote wheel, with stuff like "Boomer", "Tank", "Witch", and "Taunt" for when I do something cool. I don't use them constantly throughout the entire map. I don't know when I was on Drake's friend list, but a couple weeks after getting the game, we were in a campaign where he had "Pills Here" binded to go off EVERY TIME HE SHOT HIS GUN. It gave me a headache, and was beyond annoying, so I took him off my friends list. A couple weeks later, we played again, and he had that removed, but kept spamming stuff constantly.

Last night, his "new thing" was the "use medkit on self" sound, so Zoey was going "ahhhh" constantly, along with "Pills Here" and other stuff, throughout the entire map, literally hundreds, if not over a thousand times per map. He just spams something, ALL the fucking time. It's what he does, so I almost killed him as a Tank in the NM2 crescendo room, then I got him as a Hunter on the last stretch of NM2 (the street). I pounced and killed him, then said "die you stupid fucking annoying piece of shit" and left the game. I will not ever play a game with him again. He is not good people, he is not funny, he's an annoying purposeful griefer.

That does kinda kill the scary/tense survival atmosphere. Also on a unrelated note, nice work last night on the bridge as survivor :lol That was like an actual action/horror movie. Nice all around to the others on our team too.
 
This is why it's voice-only all the way. Impossible to play this game in any decent way without a microphone, I kick all who don't have one.

Fuck some people
Left4Dead=serious business!

Exploits are lame, I bought the PC version a couple days ago so I could have a break from it. Is breaking the door in No Mercy 3 an exploit, or is it just another way through?

It's an exploit, since it skips over the horde.
 
It's definitely an exploit to break down that door... why would they allow you to melee something down only after 67 hits or whatever? Anyway, they patched the PC version so I have to imagine they're working on it for the 360 side...however long that will be. Thankfully we'll get simultaneous DLC, at least.
 
Ugh, the random assholes I played with yesterday called me a loser because I refused to get on the fucking rock on Death Toll's finale. UGH

He plays on 2 Fort 2 Furious on TF2, so it's par for the course. Just be glad it's not "We got a hacker here!" [insert long, loud sirens and klaxons]

People like you make me want to die. Seriously. I hate using mics to play games.

plz dun ban me mr.amir0x sir

ps. Playing with drake is a fun, enjoyable experience when you get bored with versus.
 
had my first experience with people pushing the generator in front of the elevator today. I don't know why people do this; it's just annoying. They couldn't kill us for shit while we were stuck.

I'm with Amirox on this one, sorry. If you're not willing to be able to communicate with your team in a game that all but REQUIRES coordination and talking, you're getting vote kicked.
 
It took me 3 matches (1 we got thru before the other team ditched the match, second we bounced from because they used the generator at the elevator door exploit and the 3rd time was because the other team was losing so bad they bounced from the game). I suddenly am reminded why the fucktards on xbox live are considered fucktards. Fix this game Valve and give me a master button microsoft so I can IP ban a lot of people....a lot...:lol

We kick everyone in the lobby. No voting, just punting :D

Get a damn microphone, ya losers!

Heathen. BEGONE.

EDIT: Man what a bunch of tools you are.

A mic is totally unrequired for this game. The fuck you think all those .wavs are for in the Left 4 Dead folder?

Hint: Ain't for spammin'.

Yes, mics are nice, but fucking hell. Grow up.

"LOL KICKED CUZ YOU AIN'T GOT MIC N00B"

Yeah, i bet we could sweep their L4D team, mic less.
 
I was trying to get the "Stand Tall" and the "Unbreakable" achievements in one go... Got hit by a tank at the final stand, and the goddamn AI heals me (and I couldn't do anything about it). Got "Stand Tall," though.

When they first showed the switch I thought the same thing, but now I'm kinda used to (and like) the 2.0 characters.

I usually kick people without mics on 360, either that or if they just can't hear you and run off and do stupid stuff/keep shooting you 'accidently' because of bad aim/won't share health/won't stick together etc etc because they can't hear. it's not as much of a problem on PC as you can hear everyone without any problrems and everyone there also has a keyboard and the z-menu thing.

On 360 though, theres no excuse to not use a mic, and i'll be damned if it's not annoying as hell to try and discuss tactics and get people to do this/that when said shmoe doesn't have a mic. If they are good and seem to pick up on what you're trying to accomplish I obviously wouldn't vote-kick, but more than likely if they don't have a mic you're better off booting 'em. I don't know if it's just me, but it's a lot harder to hear voices on 360 without a mic, the voices are just lower in the mix, whereas on PC everything sounds perfect.

We were talking about the 360. And yes, you need a mic regardless of what platform you are on.

How do you tell a teammate to stop going a certain way? How do you yell at someone who is running far away? How do you discuss strategy or assign positions quickly?

You can't. Aka you are less efficient than those who use microphones.

There is a reason why every video game tournament features all of the players using headsets, and not keyboard binds. It's because verbal communication > keybinds.

You don't, any teammate worth their salt doesn't do those things! Moreover, plans are static and can often work against you. The best versus teams i've been on don't speak or type.

Then they are less efficient than a team who would be talking.

I'm sorry, but you are absolutely wrong.

Oh I will. Just point me to the nearest CS tournament and I'll tell them. And I'll record the whole conversation. Then I will put it on Youtube.

Fun times.

CS is a lot different than L4D. Plus, tourney CS players aren't using the mic every 2 seconds.
