For us playing on expert you were holding your own. The key to the game is communication. If you feel like you need help, just ask.

I remember looking over and seeing you just getting destroyed by a horde. Just call it out next time bud

Also don't stray to far from the group. I did this a number of times, and they all ended badly.

Cyros I'm sorry to hear about that bud.

Re: Left 4 Dead

Yeah I noticed that being by yourself is pretty much suicide. Prolly didn't help either I had the sound off because my girlfriend kept bitching about it.

Anyway, I'm gonna try to get some more games under my belt by the next time we play.

Yeah, not having sound is also suicide. So much of this game relys on hearing your enemy before you see them.

I might hop on later tonight. Got to find out what's going down.

I finally had someone glitch on me. They blocked the elevator door, jerks.

Game is such a blast!

It's lame and annoying to block the elevator..or the manhole...or the warehouse door. However, even playing with randoms, it's at a point of annoyance now that people on the other team often move that stuff anyways.

I agree! I thought you'd be pissed though, they're fixing your Minigun exploit

Re: Left 4 Dead

what do they mean by "fixed several map exploits". are they talking about melee though some doors or moving generators/forklifts/dumpsters in front of doors/holes or what? guess I'll have to play some tonight or something to find out.

if they fixed those, this game will be great.

I'm pretty sure if they'd fixed the "blocking elevator/etc with items" issue they'd be screaming it loud and clear in the notes. My personal guess is that any code fixing that issue ends up breaking a lot more things...
