There have been sales though.

Maybe there was one around the time of release? Idk.

The Last Stand whoops my ass.  I haven't been in a team that's gotten silver yet.

Survival can be pretty fun, probably even more so with friends. But I don't have friends. :,(

Also : dead air is freaking long. Every Vs. game tonight has been dead air.  :fogetmmh:

Left 4 Dead Survival mode is better than RE5's Mercenary mode.

I played for like 10 minutes this morning and well, survival is kinda like the finales which are the best part of the game so it was pretty fun. It's a lot more easily accessable than Coop or Versus which both take hour(s) of your time as opposed to 5 - 20 minute rounds where you don't need to worry so much because you will die sooner or later no matter what you do. Just wish it would support more players at once.

But I would have hoped they also would've released the SDK (they didn't right?) so we could get some maps that aren't unimaginative generic real-life locations with the highlight being the crescendo events where 99% of the playerbase dives into a closet, corner or any other zero-risk location anyway.


EDIT:

Do you guys know if a free weekend is coming up for L4D to boost their sales so I could lure a few buds into playing this too???

Got over 15 minutes on Last Stand cuz I'm pro.

I like Survival mode, since it's easier than trying to get 8 friends together for a game and is so much better than campaign. No clue how long the fun will last, but it's great so far. It's hard to get organized when the horde is constantly coming, because everybody is screaming which way to go. This happened multiple times when farmrush and I were playing.

"SMOKER, TANK, I'M BEING PULLED HELP GET UP TOP I NEED AMMO, NO WAIT IN THE BUILDING" *throws molotov on everybody*

NB and anybody else, we can do survival. Me and farm are pretty good at it.

I think this is the first game I'm actually interested in the SDK for.

Man, in "Dead Air - Crane" is the map really that small and limited? Like, the dumpster isn't there and all the windows and passages are boarded up or blocked so what the fuck, it's just one rooftop? Smokers and Tanks can just do whatever the fuck they want because it takes exactly one punch in any direction for a tank to drop you off or 2 seconds for a smoker to pull you down.

I wish they'd add something more to the gameplay. Like being able to slowly pull yourself up from hanging spots or another tier of weapons or a tier1 version of the rifle or barricade stuff or more special infecteds.

It is refreshing to see that they have kicked out most of the camp spots and thrown the ammo in places that have no cover whatsoever.

Especially with the melee timer now, correctly executing melee and firing is much more important than just HOLD RIGHT CLICK AND W

Although this kind of broke the Hunting Rifle even more.

The hunting rifle should have the autoshotgun reload and vice versa. It's pretty useless now because the assault rifle performs all your long range needs with a lot bigger clip, shorter reload and it shoots faster too.

I was under the impression they nerfed the autoshotty against tanks but in Survival I was playing the hospital level and tanks died almost as fast as common infected so uh? We all had autoshotties and blasted away and it was almost as pathetic as VS tanks before they got buffed. What difficulty is Survival running on? Also Hospital is like the easiest survival map after the first or second wave when you can go to the big room near the elevator that has a table in the middle. The only danger comes in when you have to do ammo runs.

I think the tanks are normal difficulty tanks and thus, have crap HP. If you get in point blank and unload a bunch of shots on them, they die quickly.

So they actually managed to update this with the custom shit support, so I'm wondering if any of you have played any custom content previously and could recommend some maps?

I hope this means that there can be custom rules/settings for servers that modify the gameplay dramatically because it's starting to get really stale/boring.

why not?

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.

lawl no Match Making fix. Ever since the sniper and spy update I find myself playing A LOT more of TF2 instead of Left 4 Dead(The retarded sequel announcement helped too, Im sure). I guess I'll check this out later, thanks for the heads up, if you had not bumped this thread I probably wouldn't have noticed.
