Left 4 Dead is now hosed

[Maximilian]

You guys should just get your teams and get on L4D and waste eachother on versus. We can all take bets on whos team gets owned etc 🙂

Why bother? He already told you the result. We'll get owned, remember?

ahh, the e-thug move...so whats this "I'm always right" nonsense? Hello Mr. Pot. Or is it Kettle?

We have been looking for good challenges but if you're content to leave everything all in theory on discussion boards where you proclaim yourself always right no matter what, have fun. We'll be playing where the results aren't made up in our minds.

I play with folks from somethingawful. They always seem to do well in games. And are a very fun bunch to play with. We try to have pubstomps, but they always ragequit and the teams get switched. I wish it was easier to play 4vs4 "clan" type matches..

 

[Maximilian]

Is anyone else having problems with the controls? I cant look left or right with the mouse when i strafe left or right with the keyboard. The controls are hosed for me...

 

[Maximilian]

Hmm seems it was because CoH was downloading a patch at the same time and that messed up the controls, they work fine now. Weird.

I've had far more problems with their hackjob matchmaking system than anything else in terms of technical difficulties.

It's primarily just to get a rise out of people who take things way too seriously.

Nice job not refuting anything I said, btw.

I guess I'll have to live with the eternal torment that someone, somewhere, might be better at a video game than me.

Boy...the tears, they are a flowin'.

I played the shit out of it and am now bored. I want my $40 back or 10 new levels or something. $40. For 4 levels. :roll:

Why do I even bother buying games anymore :|

Yep I only play it when one of my friends is playing cus I am bored of it as well. I was bored of it after the first month. I can't wait until Dead Before Dawn comes out.

has anyone noticed using versus quick match option only connects you with no mercy campaigna and not blood harvest? or has it always been that way?

Didnt Team Fortress 2 have only 3 levels when it came out?
I believe the idea is L4D is hardcore online Mulitplayer and people would want to learn and play just a handful of levels really well.

Of course, it doesnt have multiple classes with multiple special abilities.
This game is just a prettier version of Serious Sam with zombies and three buddies.

I just went on Steam and all the stuff they are pushing on the main page is seriously overpriced, with the except of Mass Effect which is finally down to 20 bucks. Shame I played it and beat it 6 months ago.
They need to drop L4D and the other big titles down to 40 dollars at the most. 30 would be better. PC gaming is NOT like the consoles. They dont have to subsidize the system and charge more for the games. We already paid for the hardware ourselves.

I still think the smoker's smoke he leaves after killed should do a AOE damage.

I think this would be a neat effect, though very very small damage. It would allow smoker to occasionally get in the thick of things instead of playing at a distance, maybe to buy some time he sacrifices himself in their path? What I would prefer to see is the smoker cut off all voice comms, not just the character ones. This would include as you are being tongued (should be impossible to speak with that around your neck!

As I have said before... PUG suckage could be slightly combated by adding a join as group function to matchmaking. If you have 4 dudes, join as group and get matched with another group of 4, or a 3+1pug, or 2x2 partners... anything would be better than a premade of 4 vs 4 PUGgers that cycle in and out every round as they lose...

I don't think they even need damage. Make it do something like the boomer's spray. To "balance" things and prevent suicidal smokers, they could make it so that you can't see, or your aiming goes down, but no hordes are attracted. The humans are coughing from the smoke, may as well make them 'feel' it.

It's not that the quick match only connects you to No Mercy - it doesn't. It connects you to a random server.

It's just that the versus community plays No Mercy much, much, much more then Blood Harvest.

Really? How come? I always get bored with one map and switch to the other, although i do kinda like no mercy better it still gets boring after a while.

 

[PhatoseAlpha]

I'm not really sure. I think it's because for quite a while, Blood Harvest had some serious bugs that rendered any match on the map a crap shoot. I've seen things like an AI tank appear in the finale but vanish, making the level unwinnable for the survivors since both tanks have to go down before rescue. Also some other weirdness, and this was fairly recent.

Last night I played at a server where apparently an admin hack was used, and the hoard was all witches.

i don't think that's true. if i manually set it to search for blood harvest games, then it finds one. however, from the main menu, selecting versus quickmatch will 100% give you a no mercy campaign.

if you do click once into versus mode then find a game in progress, it will connect to blood harvest matches, but never from the main menu quick match option.
