[quote name='plasticbathmonki']It's official: either my l4d character has a target painted on his forehead, or I might be the worst L4D player on the face of the earth. I seemingly die alot. In my own defense, I've never been big into FPS's, especially PC FPS's. =\[/QUOTE]
Well, it depends. Who are you playing with? The AI bots are generally useless, and even if you play with human players a lot of the time you'll get people that insist on running off and doing their own thing.
The game requires strong communication and teamwork. I've noticed my teams succeed the most when we stay in a tight knit group that provides cover fire for each other instead of all of us running off in separate directions and getting killed. lol.
