Left 4 Dead - Gen. Discussion & Info

This game is getting shitty

I set it to advance just to avoid rookies. Nah, they're on there too!

Why would you choose advance if you can't play???? I'm tired of playing the last level of no mercy and 10 seconds into it everyone is getting fucked over because they decided to be in the open air instead of the closet

Then I gotta constantly leave games because people get frustrated and start shooting themselves...

Thing is, some people (like me) just press Quick Match. you have no idea what difficulty you are playing on. I'm normally fine unless I land in Blood Harvest on Expert...
 
Only a few more cheesemints left to go.

The was one of the best games I have ever played until completion and I will be really sad when I am down with the single player and cheesemints and only have the vs mode left to play.

Like I said the vs mode gets worse and worse every single day.
 
Speaking of mods I give you boomer thong.

[quote name='Sofa King Kool']LOL!

Someone made a mod for the PC version that makes all the zombies sound like Macho Man Randy Savage.

One of them yells "SNAP INTO A SLIM JIM!" :rofl:

I kind of wish I had the PC version now.[/quote]
Just awesome! Pure hilarious! I don't think i could finish a level with this cause I'd be laughing so hard.
 
There seems to be so much back story to this game even though they pretend there isnt.

I think there is a lot of stuff you can figure out and like one a wall in one of the chapters its states something like David died 03-11-09 so we can assume that the game takes place sometime in late March 2009 (which is around my birthday)

I am tempted to just go to wiki but I am kinda liking figuring out the back story on my own.

That is so awesome. I laughed my ass off.

Let it be known, Macho Man came out with a rap album a few years back! I'm sure it's on the net somewhere....
 
Sorry if this is an old or stupid question but I couldn't find an answer anywhere.

My friend and I were playing online co-op but had to quit during the finale. When we start up today are we going to have to play from the beginning of the campaign or will it start where we left off?
 
If you want the cheesemints than you will have to start over. Most of them require you to beat the campaign in one sitting.

Good to know thanks

But does that mean if we don't care about the achievements that we can start where we left off?
 
Yeah, if you are just playing to beat it start from where ever you want.

Does matter unless you plan on getting some cheese.

Host a game, set it for the last chapter(i.e. Finale) start the game with only you in it.

Make sure the friend you want to invite into the game is on the dashboard, invite him. When he gets into the game log out back to the dashboard and have him invite you back in.

Problem solved.

I swear that does not work. Tried that couple times.

Meh either way is a good route.

works every single time for us.
 
It does work Sood. Unless a patch was sent out recently then either you or someone on your team wasn't doing it right. Speaking of Achievements I've still got a grudge to settle with Blood Harvest this weekend.
 
Had an awesome team last night in some versus action. Pretty much wiped the floor with them even though they were pulling out every cheap trick in teh book. Did teh typical hid under the ramp on the helo pad (killed tehm anyway), mved the generator in front of the elevator (finally moved it and won the level) but the won that screwed us was the sewers, they somehow moved a trash bin over the man hole. We were able to kinda move it a coupld times but everytime they would just kick it back. Eventully we just gave up and killed ourselfs. Lame if you ask me.
We ended up winning 5,245 to 678 so it didn't really matter.
 
So the best thing just happened today when I was playing vs with a couple friends.

We of course encounter the god damn generator in front of the elevator but this time we took it a little bit differently.

After the doors open we all collectively roll our eyes and my friend was about to suggest we quit I said no. Lets stay here, right here....for the rest of the match until they quit. They want to fucking waste out time lets waste theirs.

So thats what we did...we stood in the lift for 15 min killing everything that came our way (hell at least it gets you close to the kill 53 thousand zombie cheese) then after the other team got bored they started trying to move it.

Thats when the fun started. I again stated to my friends....no...screw them...they wanted to put that shit there and slap each other on the back about how clever they are. Leave it there..and thats what we did...we spent the next 5 min killing them as they tried to move the generator. They started messaging us like "Dude man what fuck we are trying to move it for you." I message back..."no I like it where it is now."

So then it became a battle to keep the generator in place all the while the other team is getting more and more pissed.

Finally...they move the generator completely out of the way clearing a path for us to leave. But again we decided to stay there....killing them over and over. Then I get the message "dude its fucking out of the way man just leave so we can get on with the game." I reply..."no you wanted us in here so badly we are staying."

We continued killing them for another 10 min while we messed with them by running out some what and then rushing back to the lift. They eventually caught on that we are definitely going to out last them and all quit. I got a couple more messages from them after also.


Its very small but knowing I pissed off some douchebag unoriginal dolt that cant comprehend that using that glitch doesnt give you and edge was very rewarding.

Nice! Yeah this generator BS needs to stop. I'd say valve needs to stop it with n update but those ass hats don't do crap for their 360 games.

fucking awesome. :applause:
 
[quote name='swetooth9']ink and cmart, up for blood harvest expert tonight?[/quote]

if by tonight, you mean tonight not last night.. sure lol
 
AWEFUL games last night, terrible teams. Idiots on my survivor team kept running off and not helping. I mean you need to keep moving but these guys wuoldn't stop for anything, not even if a hunter got someone. Needless to say we never got to the half way mark on any section. I rarely yell at team mebers but I was obliged to tell them that they were fucking terrible at the game, because, well they were.
 
I'm finding it more and more difficult to play online, especially where more and more of the people on my friend list are dumping the game, I've decided to sell it off for now and wait for the price to drop and try to finish off the expert achievements then.
 
[quote name='cmart05']if by tonight, you mean tonight not last night.. sure lol[/quote]

fuck it. I got work tomorrow but I want that fucking achievement. I'm down for tonight at the usual time I just can't stay on longer than 1 AM EST if that's alright with you guys.

Fine with me, I don't plan on staying that late either since I got work too.

Honestly, just get the PC version, seems to be more mature gamers who actually want to play the game the way it was meant to. Oh, and you'll get free DLC and more frequent updates as Valve doesn't have to wait on Microsoft's approval. Xbox owners can obviously thank Microsoft on that, with their lengthy certification process.
 
I am now the proud owner for 47/40 cheesemints all legit. Only ones left are Untouchables, the one where you dong get hit by any specially infected and zombie genocide.

Getting 50/50 on this game will be great.
 
I wanna play with some decent people. I still have a number of achievements left to cover and still need to survive 2 of the campaigns since the people I've played them with always end up leaving me for dead just before I enter the rescue vehicle and I get incap'd by a smoker or hunter.

Hit up your fellow Ragtag gamer man. I'll be on after class tonight.

Just curious, is whoever is managing this still accepting friend requests? I sent one a few weeks ago and haven't heard anything.

alright, i'll try to get on after scrubs tonight (so around 10 or 10:30 pm est)

let me know if you wanna hear it :(
 
I know one of the things that got changed in the newest update was the removal of the instant kill spot (w/ Smoker) at the very beginning of Blood Harvest Finale. Tried to use that spot today and I kept falling off the cliff. Couldn't get into the correct spot at all. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.
 
Left 4 Dead receives title update on Xbox 360 [update]

Left 4 Dead has received an update on Xbox 360, which ... actually, we haven't a clue as to what it did. We've contacted Valve for details regarding the inoculation. Perhaps Valve's statistics have revealed more nasty cheaters that needed to be squished.

Update: Valve has confirmed that the title update is the client-side fix meant to address the previously mentioned cheating. No more system link and user-hosted shenanigans for you!
 
We didn't get to finish expert last night(I sent you a message on XBOX geist) so we don't know for sure but I'm pretty sure the update only had to do with the hacks that we all saw on youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0901AKAE6hk

Basically it fixed it so you can't perform the hacks on user hosted games.. they fixed it last month where you couldn't hack on Valve hosted servers.
 
I got the group request from Cmart last night while I was eating dinner and watching a movie. Sorry I missed out. I ended up in a group of friends and we went through Blood Harvest on Expert legit. Took almost 40 retries and over 4 hours. I was the only one to make it out but it counts. Funny thing was that we didn't have anything to light the tanks up with. We were somehow able to keep distance on the bastards using the awnings of the second floor and tearing all around the house. That second one took out two people and I lost the other guy while sprinting to escape.

If they didn't fix that glitch I can be the game host. I just need help getting No Mercy and Dead Air.
