Re: Left 4 Dead

Does this game ever get boring? Every chance I get I am wanting to play this.

Re: Left 4 Dead

PC version updated, 360 eventually

Versus Mode Changes

• Tank melee attack can now hit multiple Survivors in one swing
• Fixed Tank punch being able to hit targets behind walls
• Fixes to 'Tank parking'. The Tank will now run back and attack the Survivors if he becomes AI due to two players expiring the frustration meter
• Fixed a case where a Tank frustration meter could run out right as he was in his death animation and he would come back to life
• Fixed a case where the Tank was moving too slowly while crouching and being shot
• Tanks now have the possibility of spawning in a slightly different position for the first and second teams
• The order that the teams play as Survivors is now determined by which team has the higher overall score. The winning team will play as Survivors first
• The Smoker tongue can now target and grab victims through common infected
• Increased the cone in which a Smoker can grab a target
• The Witch no longer cuts Smoker tongues in a radius around her
• Boomers that explode in mid-air will now hit Survivors directly below them with Bile
• Reduced the damage that burning Hunters do to pounced victims
• Adjusted the time at which players take over from bots to avoid 5 seconds of the bot standing idle while the player finishes connecting.
• Fixed some cases where versus score was not being recalculated properly. It is no longer beneficial to pass pills between players at the end of the round or heal other players and then shoot them
• Fixed a case where it was possible to spectate an AI infected and hit +use to take them over

Server Changes

• Added convar sv_gametype that allows server operators to limit the types of games that will start on their server. Default value is 'coop,versus'. Can be changed to just 'coop' or just 'versus' to limit to those game types

General changes

• Fixed a case where players would join as a dead Survivor when a living Survivor was still available
• Fixed a case where restarting a level due to the team dying would give more than the max primary ammo on restart
• Fixed the speaking icon showing up on the local player during level transition if voice_vox was set to 1
• The scoreboard now shows the numeric value of a player's ping

GameUI

• Quick match will now try to match to any campaign. Removed the preference to match to games according to the player progressing through all campaigns
• Games in a finale are now joinable via the Friends and Steam Group games list

Re: Left 4 Dead

Can't wait for the patch. I will miss causing so much damage while on fire as a hunter. I loved to walk through fire and then jump on someone.

If you click on "Achievements" and scroll down to the Zombie Genocide one it will tell you a number out of 53K.

Thanks! I wish the game had a section that kept better track of your stats (like cod4)

it really wasn't for me either. I didn't like the controls, or feel, floaty movement. i thought it was awkward too. It was way over hyped (i fell for the hype too and hyped my friends and they bought it). We organized an entire night to play in the same house w/ multiple tv's and 360s. We stopped playing after just a few rounds.
I also don't like the levels and how they are designed. I barely had any fun with it at all. There's no weight to it, and the original premise sounded good and more 'survival' orientated, but it's like a shooting gallery. To me it's honestly like if cod5 replaced the zombie mode and it was all attack dogs, and the controls became very floaty and you move too quickly.

Re: Left 4 Dead

LOL... this game took me away from COD and like I said, it might be the most fun I have had with a 360 game.

Re: Left 4 Dead

Different Strokes/Different Folks I guess.

I think that when we had organized 4v4 teams of Versus Mode going it might have been the best Non Sports Multiplayer Experience I've had with people from OS.

Plain, good old fashioned fun.

Re: Left 4 Dead

Its not too late. I will play some 4 vs. 4

yeah that's true, but I like many other shooters too. I liked both gears (1 more though) and rb6vegas1...I'm currently looking forward to arma2. Do you think that my orientation towards cod causes me not to like L4D as much? I think there is some crossover for people, but maybe there is something to that. If you don't like cod to begin with, it could make you more apt to enjoy l4d ... don't know. I realize people have tons of fun with it and that's cool, but it just didn't happen for me.
