Left 4 Dead - Gaming World Forums

I still think we should have a list of forum name: steamid & nick (they are different, you use steamid to add people and the nick is what you see in your friends list) on here, because it's near impossible to tell who is who.

Just beat the second story. I think I have to redo it because we had to restart at a safehouse because the door wouldn't open. So I didn't get the achievement.
However, that boathouse finale... I definitely love that more than the rooftop. You're trying to escape from them at all angles. There's swarms everywhere and of course a final tank to spice things up. :*( Bill and Zoey didn't.... They... They are no longer with us.

You'll love both Dead Air/Blood Harvest then.

Tried the sniper rifle during the second story BTW. I got the 100 headshots award. That fucking rifle is awesome. I murdered a tank and a witch with that beast.

I used the advocate it, but autoshotgun is where it's at now.

3 auto shotties/1 hunting rifle (for those BLOODY SMOKERS) is a setup that steamrolled us majorly tonight

ps guys the pistol actually is fully automatic. Valve has always made their pistols fire as fast as the player can click the mouse button.

make a file called autoexec.cfg in the \Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead\cfg folder and add this script:

// AutoPistol // ====================================================
alias +apistol "alias repeat_function +repeat; +repeat"
alias -apistol "alias repeat_function stoprepeating"
alias repeat_function "+repeat"
alias +repeat "-reload;+attack; wait 1; -repeat"
alias -repeat "-attack; wait 1; repeat_function"
alias stoprepeating ""

bind mouse4 "+apistol"

You can replace mouse4 with any key really... The point is when you hold the button down the pistol will fire automatically and when the script executes perfectly it is as fast as the Uzi. You can also use this with the automatic shotgun and it will eviscerate any tank in your path

That is semi-automatic.

Excluding your script witchcraft which starts to border on fully but it really just semi in disguise.

Except with the script used, you just hold down the trigger and it fires round after round. It behaves exactly like an automatic weapon, I don't see the point you are trying to make?

Just use the script and be happy, or maybe you are jealous that you didn't think of it first...

Yes, that's why I said excluding the script. I was just trying to make the point that the pistol isn't fully automatic by default, it is semi-automatic.

What are you talking about? Why would I be jealous at all?

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

Yeah Magi, any actual gamer, especially in VS mode would not accept that as a legitimate game tactic.
