Anyone getting Left 4 Dead?

[BlackV62K2]

Going to be a bunch of noobs on lol. Hopefully they stick to campaign mode.

[Presto]

Has anyone checked out their profile pages recently? The Left 4 Dead page has a lot more stats displayed.

[JHuJHu]

^ yeah i just checked. its pretty cool

[Presto]

The Left 4 Dead trial got expanded to include the entire weekend. It's also on for a nice, low price of $24 bucks from Steam, which will probably be good until tomorrow morning. You can't go wrong for only $24 bucks!

[Presto]

It's been awhile since there's been any action in this thread. Are people still playing it? I went to EBgames last night, and they still had L4D for $30. I guess it's their normal price for it.

[ZenZa]

I'm moving on to Killing Floor!

6 players instead of 4, and experiment-gone-wrong monsters instead of zombies, haha

I actually haven't read much on it and impulse bought it since it's only US$11 preorder. On paper, seems like it's very similar to L4D but with skills that can differentiate characters

[6insomnia9]

I haven't played this game in a while, mostly been playing TF2 hahaha.

[Presto]

Awesome! Looks like Crossroads Mall is nearing completion:

how do you guys get tongue twister achivement (where you free yourself from smoker)

i've killed smoker many times when im getting dragged..dunno why it's not registering.

[Presto]

I've seen suggestions on starting a single player game to reset the achievement, in case it's bugged:

Start Single Player game
Open Developer Console
sv_cheats 1;
achievement_reset L4D_ACHIEVEMENT_RESCUE_SELF_FROM_SMOKER;
Start a new game and try freeing yourself from a smoker again.

nm i got it today
fuck i wasted my ENTIRE friday playing this game

i only have 1/2 of the gold medals for survival..pretty much just started playing em today and it's more enjoyable than versus
how do you guys survive church? My best is 8 minutes..i guess i need a more efficient team

i hate it when there's 2 tanks running around during survival..get smacked by him and i get dragged away by smokers lol

[Presto]

For the church, I believe we were up against the side of the house, near the safe room. We were relatively safe from the smokers there. The key for any stage is to get past the 2 tanks @ 6 min. Things seem to go pretty smooth after that.

The last one we did was the rooftop. We tried a bunch of different things, like stationing on top of the A/C above the ammo and health kids. Eventually, we found a good place was the radio room. Two people were next to the pipe, looking out the window towards the heli pad. The other two people were in the corner on the same side of the other pair. We were able to go upstairs for health and ammo at ~5 min.

I know a good place for the rooftop.....no tanks or any infected/special infected can get you except for smokers.

As for the church, we usually go behind the benches near the side of the safe room. I'm missing about 4 more gold for the all gold achievement.

[twitchyzero]

church indoor walls near safe room? Dont you get pulled by smokers easily from the outside from teh broken wall?

and when the tank comes in from medic room, isnt it hard to shoot it with the piano in the way?

I played farmhouse last night with only 3 ppl..and got gold if you just sit near the ammo stash. 2/3 of the time tank tries to get through the window which serves as a bottleneck..& you just melee infected out the window.

Construction we just used dumpster as bottleneck as well..works well.

[Presto]

Sorry for the long response, as you may already have gold for the church. My friends and I were helping my sister get her golds, and we did the church again. We stationed along the stone wall, outside the house, with the ammo stash at the end. We had 1 weird stranger, initially. He spoke with a voice synthesizer, and spray painted animated porn on the walls. He was useless, and we caught him not blasting the tank. With a full group of non-strangers, we were able to get it on the first try. Smokers still pulled us, but we were aware of where'd they pop up so we were able to take care of them.

can anyone send me this song! i can't find it anywhere... i know what its called but i can't get it..

Boy's N-dance - Be Yourself (Original Club Mix)

[twitchyzero]

I need gold on Church, gas station, Generator Room and Streets.

I've ~8 min on most of them. I havent really touched campaign so i'll get some achievments for those first. Expert is great..you really need the teamwork haha.

[Presto]

We played some No Mercy on Expert last night. We were trying to get my sister the expert achievement. We had 1 stranger in the group. This time, the stranger was a L4D MONSTER. We thought we were good already, but this guy had skillz. It was refreshing to play with someone that could actually teach us stuff, instead of dealing with the usual retards.



For your remaining survival golds, You can try out these strategies. They've worked multiple times for us. These are one-way trips, with the purpose of exceeding 10 minutes. There's no going back for health kits or ammo. Stick with pistols, and unload the auto-shotty on the tanks.

Gas Station - Ride the lift, and run across the roof to that room, and drop down the hole. Defend in an L formation on the desks.

Generator Room - Hit the switch. Have a couple people on the other side of the room toss molys down the stairs, the minigun room, and the windows on both sides. Once the door opens enough, go up the stairs and defend in the corner where the pop machine is. Have one person position behind the rails to watch for tanks climbing up.

Streets - Activate forklift and run all the way to the end of the street. Defend in the corner behind the bus. Tank will typically, climb over the bus to get to you. He gets stuck sometimes.

Versus mode is where it's at.

[illicitstylz]

versus mode raping others until they rage is the best

i added you on Steam. lol your sister plays L4D? cool

[way2quik]

now that l4d 2 be coming out shortly, this game isn't worth playing anymore with just 4 campaigns.

this is rediculous! I was expecting at least 2-3 new campaigns by now.

[twitchyzero]

anyone still playing this game?

"Crash Course," the latest DLC delivers new single-player, multiplayer and co-operative gameplay to both platforms. Targeted for release in September, "Crash Course" bridges the gap between the end of the "No Mercy" campaign and the beginning of "Death Toll" in the original game, expanding the game universe with new locations, new dialogue from the original cast, and an explosive finale

While containing both Survival maps and a Co-operative Campaign, the primary goal of "Crash" is to deliver a complete Versus mode experience in just 30 minutes, resulting in a streamlined version of the game's existing Versus campaigns. A recharge timer for infected teammates has also been added, and item spawn behavior has changed for more balanced gameplay.

Still play it 2-3 times a week on the 360 though..

[way2quik]

thanks for the update.
I havent opened up Steam for months.
L4D seems like a dead project anyhow.
I'll play when that new map get release.
