Left 4 Dead

[Balthus Dire]

That's actually a great idea too. As it stands they are almost useless unless you manage to get someone alone, and even then the constrict barely does any damage at all.

Great news about DLC. I finally picked this up last week and I'm addicted. I love this game; though it has a few flaws that drive me nuts. I personally think in VS mode the zombie team needs to be a bit stronger; specifically the Smoker. The Smoker is basically freakin useless, and IMO the "tongue" attack should do damage the instant you snag the dude with it, otherwise WTF is the point?

Also, I've found the AI in VS mode is wayyyyy too good if you're playing as a zombie. I've been hiding in trees and behind haystacks and stuff while playing against a partially computer controlled team and somehow they magically see me where no human player would ever see me. It's pretty annoying.

But, all in all, I still love the game. I think it needs to be patched a bit to balance it a little but that probably won't happen. Great that we'll get 2 new campaigns, that's amazing!

s'funny that, smoker is my fav I usually do a fair amount of damage or kills with him

 

[Balthus Dire]

To each their own I guess. It's quite possible that I just suck as a Smoker (that's what she said), I've only had the game a week or so. I personally like the Boomer the best.

 

[Spider-Vader]

I suck the most with the Boomer. I'm okay with the others.
I've only been the big Hulk wannabe zombie once.

yeah I suck as the boomer on the other hand lol

 

[Balthus Dire]

Hahaha, I'm pretty good with the Boomer. I can usually manage to puke on the group at least 3 times before they catch up with me. I think I've only actually killed like 3 people ever as a Smoker though.

so yea ive played enough to realize winning with (all) the humans in multiplayer online is pretty much impossible... not quite evened out

plus people are being smart... i saw a player drag a garbage dumpster over a sewer hatch that the humans must eventually go through to win the level.... completely stoping the humans from getting to the end...ever.

What does "multiplayer" mean, given that the whole game is pretty much multiplayer? You mean vs.?

I'v won on multiplayer quite a few times as a human.

He probably just is that good at it. I was playing the other night, and my team did great, we always won as either the Infected or Human. But, my Brother and a Friend was on the other team, and sucked butt.

thats not smart thats just being *****ey, you can do it on the hospital level aswell by blocking the lift, hate it when people resort to that.
its definatly possible to win as humans though, done it plenty of times, if you have the right people and tactics it isnt that hard

I hope they freakin patch that soon because it is so annoying and it happens in every friggin game. You can block the sewer at one point and then later you can even block the stupid elevator, which is easier to get past but still. Blocking the sewer is literally impossible to get by and it's cheap as hell.

They need to fix that crap. Other than that, I'm still addicted to this game. I'm starting to get a lot better as a Smoker, too. t:

 

[spidey-dude]

u can get past the sewer one if u get lucky, i think if u get vomitted on goin up sometimes infected push it out the way, or if theres a boomer up there and you blow it up....or go to the room right by it which has only the door as an entrance and survive as long as posible, they may get bored and remove it eventually.....the trick is then not to let them get that far when your the infected to show that your better in every way

I've moved it once by throwing a pipebomb up there and managing to land it just right. But still, it's an exploit in the game that needs to be fixed. It'd be different if it wasn't the only way to get up there, but it is...so it's not really strategic, it's just cheap.

I'm sure the developers didn't intend on that, so I hope they patch it.

 

[spidey-dude]

yeah I agree with you wholeheartedly, its a cheap lil trick generally used by people who arn't very good

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

There's 50% off Left4Dead on the steam weekend deal.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Still gotta beat the last level of this game

 

[Soapy]

Anyone heard about Left 4 Head?

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Anyone heard about Left 4 Head?

There are 2 possible things running through my mind as to what that could be and im pretty sure my number 1 is right.

i actually think the humans need to be stronger...

hard to remember me ever winning with the humans(and having all other group members alive)

I used to win all the time until they made the Tank damn near impossible.

 

[Venom160]

so anybody still playing this? They've added the other two maps for versus recently aswell as a cool survival mode.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I put off playing it until I could find myself a decent headset, but that's not working out so well. I really wish people made wireless microphones.

 

[Venom160]

That sucks dude.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

I kinda got bored of it but that was after about 100+ hours worth of playtime.


Killing Floor looks good.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/5243/

Based on a mod that existed before Left4dead came into fruition.
Looks abit grittier, I liked tripewires previous game Red Orchestra.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I just saw the trailer for Killing Floor about 20 minutes ago. It does look pretty sweet. Unfortunately, I wind up with the same microphone problem. Maybe I'll just get a mic with a really long cord.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

I feel like a massive tit talking into mics.
That and along Scottish accent players seem to think I have had a stroke.
Prefer the keyboard personally.

 

[Venom160]

yeah it's kinda hard to type something when playing versus. Unless your a super fast typer....
