Pretty sure the commands have been blocked ever since the latest patch thanks to the griefers.

Yeah, i think the command was "kill". People could just join a team that had an AI player and kill it then switch back to their own team, leaving them 1 AI down and if someone joined to take the AI's place they wouldnt spawn because the AI was dead.

I remember that, I just took their 'infected' spot and forced them to be on the team in which they killed the AI. Now that was funny.

This might be a dumb question but how do I do that?

And to the others, making a list of your names today will try to add you as friends when I get home tonight.

Someone mentioned competitive leagues, how does one go about in joining that? Are there guilds or clans in L4D, I might be interested in joining one.

You're gonna think I am a complete idiot.

When I hit "Join This Group" on the page you sent me, the page just refreshes. WTF? Where do I enter my profile name?

See you out there.

Cheers.

I would do this in friends only games just for giggles and could switch fast enough (keybinds/macros) that you wouldn't know what hit you before you could steal my spot.

Valve has since fixed both problems though, you can only switch teams once and can no longer suicide as a big problem pre patch was players killing themselves before rage quitting.

I pre-ordered L4D on Steam and played it A LOT the first month it was out. Then I took a few weeks off, played through Fable 2 and finished off Fallout 3, started Dead Space, then this past weekend, I loaded up L4D again and started playing. I don't know if anyone's told you, but L4D is awesome!

It's probably the most fun you can have just picking up a game with 3 strangers and seeing what happens. It's alright playing with friends, but after awhile, you know exactly what they're going to do and how they're going to handle any given situation, but with strangers, anything can happen, and it's usually more fun to lose than to win. People in general dunno wtf they're doing, not that I do, but some people, yeah, they REALLY don't know.

This weekend, 2 of us got whacked on expert and me and this other guy were going through, and he spooked the witch, so I just stood there and didn't do anything cause I was a 1 HP and seeing B&W. So the witch killed him and ran off, and when I couldn't hear her anymore, I start moving again, opened a door, and right outside the door a Boomer head butted me or clawed me or something, and I just died. It was hilarious, all that work playing it safe, and a Boomer kills me without even trying.

That's the kind of thing I love about L4D, it's never predictable, and anyone who says it is sure as hell isn't playing on expert!
