No you can't. There might be some way around this but you would need an xbox live account to connect to their servers and it's probably horribly complicated/impossible to do and requires some shady software and is not worth it.

I feel really sorry if you got it on xbox

You've fallen into the same trap I did with TF2. It will never be updated...

Isn't this server-side?

Yes, but I thought since it is VALVE'S SERVERS they might be able to do something about that.

I swear some people don't know how to play this game.

They are constantly hitting each other with friendly fire on expert with shotguns. It's obvious that anywhere in your CROSSHAIR is where the blast will go, and no this isn't some people getting in each others way. It's just as annoying as people who don't know how to keep up with the rest of the group.

The other thing is when fighting Tanks. Throw a molotov at it. That's it. A Tank dies after about 45 seconds on expert from a molotov no matter what their health is. I was curious as to why I was dying as a Tank while I was on fire in Versus, and this is why!

Protip, every campaign finale has a closet you can hide in. Go in there and stay there THE WHOLE TIME if you want to be cheap. Have everyone grab an auto shotgun and stay in there. When a tank comes, stay in there because 4 auto shotguns at point blank will kill it before it has the chance to kill even one of you. It takes approximately 30 shells on expert, so do the math.

edit: other protip, have a mic.

Was there a closet on dead air? I don't recall one for that specific finale.

I've found most friendly fire incidents happen when there's a swarm. When people get surrounded on all sides by zombies they panic and just start to shoot, usually not realizing or able to see who is around them

This is what is affectionately known as 'cheating'. Get caught doing this and expect to be banned by VAC.

heh lol

VAC doesn't work that way. Scripts are a feature that Valve intentionally includes in all their games and they don't modify game files. They're actually pretty popular in the tf2 community for example and exist for doing anything from making rocket jumping a painless process to creating a button that instantly lets a spy cloak and throw on their last used disguise. Basically, because these bind scripts are easily accessible to anybody and only do things the game can already do (albeit more efficiently), Valve has never acted against this feature. About the only time that they are strictly disallowed are in tournaments like CAL, CEVO, or the ESL league.

I was fairly guilty of friendly fire for my first few games. Things like TF2 have got me into SHOOT THROUGH PEOPLE mode. But I've got WAAAAAY better and have got my FF down to like, 1 - 2 hits per full campaign now. I switched out the shotgun for the Uzi/Assault Rifle though and get MAD ACCURACY.

Yes, but you're effectively using a script to modify the firing rate of weapons to make them instantly fire all bullets in a clip. Maybe VAC doesn't ban for this then, but I can bet nobody at GW will be inviting you if they see you doing it....

It really sucks when you play on Expert and your teammates cut you down with single shotgun blasts.

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.
