L4D - The Sacrifice by Oct 5 1&2 - Gen. Discussion & Info -

so i don't know if anyone else is having ridiculous wind storms in their areas, but i've got one in mine. so if i'm not on or i suddenly disappear, it's because the wind knocked out my GD power. just warning everyone, haha.
 
[quote name='Anexanhume']Dammit, I guess I give up on team games until the weekend. Seems no else is on PST.[/QUOTE]

LOL... there's no way in hell we'll get all of the achievements done in one night man. I've got you this weekend if you ever need some help. Just send me a GI whenever you see me online. Btw just a friendly warning to everything planning to game tonight that I won't stick around for very long if I can't find anyone online tonight. The Top Chef finale is tonight so I WILL bail in an instant if it appears we're a few men/women short. Randoms and bots just won't cut it for Expert or Versus.
 
[quote name='chimpster1313']i'm adding you[/QUOTE]
Add again? I deleted the FR since I didn't think to check the thread.

I'm on and willing.
 
My router is being a bitch right now hence why I'm not on but I'll give it another shot. If you guys are already full though I'd appreciate it if you let me know asap.
 
yeah i was about to join baldkins, tfunk and discos game but baldkins got a friend in right as soon as i was about to join haha

Hello. Haven't been reading this thread, but I'm just wondering if anyone else is experiencing a severe lack of online presence in this game. It just came out and I never see more than ten lobbies at a time...

considering this game supposedly outsold the original in terms of sales in the first weeks, I don't see how that is possible. Finding a game online is easy.. while there are probably only 10 lobbies set up there are over 1,000 games in progress already.
 
Lag was pretty crappy last night. Also got our asses handed to us on team Vs. I still say we get a CAG game night going. I'm sure the weekend would work the best for us all???????????????????????????????
 
I'm looking for some people who wouldn't mind having a new person to play with. I've only played throw the first campaign and would like to try the others with 3 other human controlled players. If anyone needs another person PLEASE add me.
 
I'm on nightly and always up for versus, scavenge or otherwise! I have started and finished parish on expert but still need the other 4 campaigns as well as other vs/scavenge achievements. Anyone that needs someone to play, just send me a friend request and I'll do the same! My gamertag is Typical Knave.

that lag was ass, and the beating was worse. that's why i want CAG 4 on 4, or at the very least, 3 on 3 with a bot. that would be tits.

I'll add ya :)
 
Valve has put forth a new update for the PC version of Left 4 Dead 2, fixing up a long list of outstanding bugs, tweaking gameplay and much much more. Expect the same fixes "later this month," Xbox 360 players. Most of the changes appear to be relatively small, somewhat reducing the effectiveness of the Spitter in some circumstances, but not by much. A less specific updating of Special Infected hit boxes is also included, but how they were updated, we're not yet sure. Update: Yes, we are sure. This Steam forum thread illustrates the differences between the old and new hit boxes for the Charger, Jockey and Spitter. Here's the full list of changes. * Changed rules for ghost placement in Scavenge Mode * Player controlled Special Infected are no longer forced to un-crouch and lock strafe when they crouch attack * Spitter spit that damages players on a moving elevator will now fizzle quickly * Allow the survivor and infected to rotate the camera yaw while being attacked by a Charger or Smoker * Smoker that has dragged a survivor to the end now gets the same cinematic flashlight as the Hunter and Charger * Fixed a crash in physics * Updated the Charger's hit boxes * Updated the Jockey's hit boxes * Updated the Spitter's hit boxes * Fixed player health on being revived after a Charger slam over a high ledge * Fixed versus scores not resetting after a vote to change campaigns * Fixed being able to use defibrillator on dead players who were far above or below you * Fixed pink glow on dead survivors * Fixed being able to hold crouch while incapped to get better weapon accuracy * Fixed players pushing against some props causing them to accumulate downward velocity and then take falling damage when they let go of the forward key * Fixed a case where an incapped survivor inside a rescue vehicle would trigger both the escape sequence and a round restart * Fixed the helping hand from getting stuck when extended

that means we'll get it in a month lol
 
[quote name='draven1089']Marcouaurelius, looks you and I need 2 more people 1 if chimpster can make it.[/QUOTE]

i have to do a basketball game and voice track for a radio shift until about.......11. so i probably won't be on until around 11:30, but i'll definitely check in and see if you're playing at that point.
 
Haven't played the game in a few weeks since finals, but might as well ask before I'm done next week. Is the game still as laggy for non local games as it was on launch?
 
i will add some of you guys
i might be playing later, i need to finish about all the campaigns lol
most of the ones i played, people quit before finishing
I'll play expert or any difficulty
i also wanna play scavenger/versus with people that at least have mics lol
i've changed my gamertag, it's now KILLERC0MB0 - its all caps and the 0 are zeros
 
Why is it when playing expert people want to get pissed that "you" shoot them when they run right infront of you while your shooting, and no I wasn't running around I was croutched and blasting away.

I'd like to go for the Bridge achievement with 4 actual people sometime on Wednesday (12/16). I can breeze it solo but the AI always gets tangled up in common infected. Then when I slaughter the AIs, there's always a crafty smoker or hunter waiting for me behind a vehicle. sigh.

Kill all the AI's in the safe room at the start. Run the level solo. It works.
 
Remember to stay towards the left and just....RUN! Gun when your enemy is far away and as they get closer, switch to melee weapon


Now, for a separate thing.....I hate this game sometimes because I'll be on advanced and get people who don't even know the map! And then they get mad when you call out their garbageness. I know I'm not ready for expert probably, but damn, I know YOU'RE NOT READY FOR ADVANCED!!!!!!!!

I did, and the two times I tried it that way the first time I got smoked, then hunted on attempt #2. I was also doing this hella drowsy last night, so I'll probably get it later today at some point once I wake up.

this is how i did it and got it on the first try. just stayed to the left, and gunned whenever anything would run around the side of a truck. i think the only special infected i saw other than a tank was a boomer.
 
Yeah, the bridge achievement is somewhat luck. I got caught by crafty special infected three times in a row, but it is definitely doable with persistence. Haven't gotten around to it again though.
 
yeah, after I posted earlier this morning, first try was a charger taking me off the side of the bridge ..

second try I saw a boomer, got it easily, and I even got punched by a crafty ninja tank.

guess it depends on which single special infected spawns on your solo try along the way there.
 
One thing that still pisses me off about this game/valve is their lack of polish at times. They make great engines to run the game but things like objects falling through walls, specifically Gnome Chompski, still happen way to often. I understand the need to keep the framerate up and the lag down but damnit to hell it pisses me off. That and the floaty running that's been in their games since Half Life.
 
This game is worth 60 bucks if you played the fuck out of the original, like most of us did.

You can find it at most places for $40 right now so that makes it even more of a must-buy.
 
Also, to comment on objects falling through walls and stuff like that...

The Jockey is hard as hell to hit for me, and I'm generally pretty spot on. I really don't think the character mapping is perfected because I know he's SUPPOSED to be hard to hit, but sometimes it just feels like it's too far-fetched and it's like trying to shoot a needle in the middle of a haystack.
 
Hey been playing this a lot lately if anyone wants to play together. I'll be on later tonight. Right now just playing through the campaigns on normal, but I'm down for some Versus and Survival as well.
 
Finally got around to mopping the floor with the Versus community and got my Ellis/Bullshifters shirt. Woot.

Now onto Scavenge mode...
