So I just rented left 4 dead, freaking awesome game. Problem is I keep getting stuck with people who don't work together. So if any people here want to fire up some left 4 dead today and work together add me Gamertag: Cuda1447

YES.

You can tell pretty fast who doesn't have a headset as they wonder off.



I'll happily play with you... prolly not versus mode but campaign, yes.

GT: Cohort Brian

Just a warning that I like to keep things moving along. If you plan to stop and smell the roses and poke your head into every room and corner then I'll gonna get pissy because the AI Director will throw the horde at you if you do this.

I wanna get a group together and try and play through expert, if anyone is interested lemme know and we can start getting a strategy.

I'm down with playing it through on expert, only problem is it looks like my cat chewed up my headset, its not working right now. Hopefully i'll get a new one in a few days though.

I didn't know that! Apparently this game is not worth it if playing alone, but with others is well received.

Damn that Zoey.

I was on the second tank of the helicopter rescue mission... I was minutes away from getting the Stomach Upset and Safety First achievements... she gets smacked by the tank and winds up standing on one of the HVAC units right as everyone else takes the tank down.

We book it to the heli and she doesn't move. We're standing inside of the heli... she still doesn't move. We take down a third tank which is standing in front of the heli throwing concrete at us... she still doesn't move.

A smoker pulls her off the HVAC unit and she gets free on her own. So she starts running to the heli (While we're still sitting in there... with ANOTHER tank approaching... then a boomer pops out of nowhere and barfs all over us. There goes that achievement. I can still get the safety first one, though. So I let the vomit go away on it's own... Zoey's dumb ass still isn't there... and I'm trying to clear a path for her and Bill's stupid ass just pushes me out back and then he stands in front of me... as I'm shooting. :|

As good as the AI is at helping you up and making sure the hunters/smokers don't maul you, they are really flawed in terms of getting confused. Throwing a witch into any situation can make them become idiots. Sometimes it just seems more effective to take the witch out with cr0wned glitch and be done with it.

Mest (Sh0ck4) and I (Cohort Brian) are probably going to play tonight. Add us if you wanna join. No idea what campaign/difficulty, but we'll have a good time either way.

When you are playing by yourself the CPU characters depend on you to lead and give commands (which you can do in the PC version). Like in your instance you can just keep telling her to "Hurry" and she will eventually come. It's not perfect but it's much better then waiting for her to come on her own.

Cool. I haven't played online yet, but I am a team player and know the value of teamwork. Ive been playing online games since the days of Rogue Spear, and hate the noob tube run and gun Rambo types.
Ill be on tonight, ready to kill some zombies.

The AI is on the whole pretty good, I mean, if you remember the HL2 rebels that you lead on an assault you can't really complain about the L4D AI because those fuckers were super retarded right from the get go. But, they do fuck up with witches for some reason and I've occasionally gotten the same "I'm not moving" crap from them. I usually resort to shooting them...sometimes it seems to break them out of their trance.

That was a lot of fun last night playing with you guys. As you could probably tell, I'm a L4D virgin. Last night was the first time I had played online, and I had only played the game for maybe an hour the night before, for the 1st time. I'll get better though, and try to keep my shooting of teammates down. I am hooked though, the MP is a lot of fun. I'll be on tonight ready to kill some more zombies.
