Left 4 Dead 2

1st expert run down on Hard Rain. Woot

tanks on expert are re-fucking-diculous

[phantasmagoria]

lol, i won't be playing campaign on public servers, that's for sure.

[phantasmagoria]

aye will do, same goes for you :>. i think one of us is being a tight bastard and is refusing to buy it anyway. Some of the best gaming moments of this year, and in fact for a long time have been trying to do the harder achievements for l4d1 campaign, like 'nothing special' and 'stomach upset'. It took us a couple of weeks to clock them, ad we did them on expert. It's great when you have a good team working and chatting together, watching out for each other without one arsehole running off like a ninja and getting himself owned.

What I plan to do is try and get all the campaigns done on expert before i move to versus, that way i'll have got the 'story' experience over and fully appreciated and can move onto being more competetive.

I dunno, I played it, twas ok, I really like the jockey but honestly, I'm not shelling out another 69$ to play what feels exactly like the original... It's not worth the price tag imho. I rented it and played it a handful of times. I think Valve is a fail this time.

best theyre working on Ep3

As a versus game, I actually think L4D1 and L4D2 are very different. A lot of the old strategies for both survivors and infected no longer apply in L4D2, especially since quad caps are no longer an option. It's all about making the right plays at the death spots and getting as much damage in as you can before the next pill/medkit drop.

We have our own server and have been using a new competitive config, which makes versus a lot like the old cevo/frustrians mods from L4D1. No medkits, no defibs, no ammo buffs etc... it's simply a better game without them.

I hope the L4D1 maps get an official conversion to L4D2 soon. I've been playing the unofficial ports and they're superb - totally breathes new life into them.

Holy shit, Dark Carnval is legendary. Whack-a-stash!

"GNOME IS SECURE!" oh, the hilarity

Purchasing stupidly powerful gaming rig this weekend so i can play this game again with you guys

[MKJ]

why. this game has higher specs than l4d1? :[

[Ryoki]

Only slightly i think, but my gamig pc died last week... everything broke at once, motherboard, graphix card... even the fucking keyboard

[MKJ]

well shit.
ive played some serious versus mode (l4d1) last night. i played a few rounds before but mostly to fuck around.
its pretty awesome. too bad the scoring system is so skewed that survivors rather cower in a corner than trying to reach the end.
nothing a simple update couldnt fix but i fear l4d1 support is nonexistant.

Tried Chompski yet?

ho ho just realised what you meant while scanning the achievments, no. I've just been playing single player and versus, which don't lend themselves kindly to carrying a gnome around, i'll save that for when I play some proper campaign.

Hard rain seems like a level makers cop out to me o.O I don't like it. And it's hard :<

say what now? You get the most points for reaching the safe room with the most people and health... or is this an xbox thing?

[MKJ]

no, but morons seem to think camping in the vents will net them more points in the long run.
all that happens is that the match takes months to complete. annoying bitches

[phantasmagoria]

they're just scared of your prowess.

The game is 50% off right now on steam until Thursday 4pm PST. Probably won't be that cheap until the holidays.

It's been in "beta" since forever so it was always fully playable (on PC). This is kind of non-news unless you're a console moron.
