Left 4 Dead 2 (360/PC)

Re: Left 4 Dead 2 (360/PC)

myself, chubbybanana, ESPNdeportes and some random named wyteICE. myth? legend? no, something much greater than that.

Last night this group decided to play a team game of scavenge. We scooped up wyteICE from our previous scavenge lobby and hit up some scavenge on the finale of dead center, the mall atrium.

We lost the first game and there wasn't much competition. We kept the first round close but they easily beat us in the second. I wanted to go back to the lobby to find a new team but deportes said "let's play them again, we can beat them." I didn't think so, but it seemed like everybody else wanted to try again so we did.

First round we started as the special infected first and held them to just four cans. We got five so we took round one. Round two is when everything started to go downhill. We started as special infected and did terrible as they got 11 cans. As survivors in round two we struggled from the get go and eventually started shooting each other, getting 0 cans for a loss. This is where things get interesting.

Round three starts and we begin as survivors. We thought we had come up with a good strategy but it was crap. We died fairly quickly and got no cans, so all they had to do was get one can to win the game. Discouraged, I began as a smoker and my plan was just to get the guy going for the closest can on the ground, and when the guy was a few feet away from the car I had him wrapped up and he dropped his can. I figured I was going to get killed because I was in plain sight, but to my surprise two of the other three survivors were nowhere to be seen. Turns out they had gone down the long hall way for those two cans but one had a jockey on him and the other was pinned by a charger. Our fourth special infected was a spitter, so naturally that leaves one survivor free, and he was trying to kill me. Shooting from a long distance is not a good idea, but then he was getting mauled by common infected so no bullets were hitting me. In the meantime the spitter hit that survivor with some goo and down he went. There it was, all they had to do was get one can to win and they failed.

So that's it. A tie game, right? Wrong. I did not know this but scavenge mode has a tiebreaker, which I believe is most time spent alive as survivors. We crushed them in this even though they had that 11-can round. So after conceding defeat in the second round and starting the third round with no cans we had come back to defeat a team that had handled us in the previous game. The end.

Yeah, that was awesome- probably the most memorable online game I've had. Whats crazy is that last round we had them stopped in 22 seconds. Amazing.

Re: Left 4 Dead 2 (360/PC)

I got the game for 40 bucks new on Black Friday at gamestop but have yet to play it. I am up to play it since I need a break from other games, just say when you guys get on and I will hop on. Just beware I am a total noob when it comes to L4D....lol. 360 BTW.

Re: Left 4 Dead 2 (360/PC)

Just to throw it out there. If someone sends me a request to play or party up and I don't respond while playing L4D it's probably my roomate.

He was on a zombie slaying kick this weekend from some reason, even playing survival for 5 hours straight at one point.

So Deportes, sorry I never linked up with you.

Re: Left 4 Dead 2 (360/PC)

Its funny but with L4D1 I played a ton of survival and never played versus. Now with the sequel I haven't even touched survival. Versus is the bees knees.

Chubby and sportsdude, last night was a debacle in scavenge. I think we lost our charm. We need to redeem ourselves soon.

Ok, now that you've opened up the can of worms, I'm gonna say it.

The "Leave Chubby Downstairs with the newbie while we both go up and get cans" strategy was one of the worst things I've ever heard you guys come up with. I blame our failure on him.

If he's a member of OS, I'm sorry I offended you.

Left 4 Dead 2 Game Add-on #1 Announced

Dubbed "The Passing," the first game add-on for L4D2 brings the original Left 4 Dead (L4D1) Survivors down south for a meeting with the L4D2 cast, while delivering new single-player, multiplayer and co-operative gameplay for the PC and Xbox 360.

Targeted for release in early spring, "The Passing" takes place just after the Dead Center campaign of L4D2. Set in a small town in rural Georgia, players assume the role of the L4D2 Survivors as they meet with the L4D1 characters.

In addition to the new co-operative campaign and associated narrative, "The Passing" will include new arenas for Survival, Versus and Scavenge mode and introduce a new co-operative challenge mode of play. The Passing will also include a new "uncommon common" zombie class, melee weapon, and firearm.

"The Passing will become the most important campaign in the Left 4 Dead story, as all the Survivors are being called together in one campaign," said Doug Lombardi, VP of marketing at Valve. "It will also be a huge offering of new gameplay content, with something new for every game mode plus a new uncommon common and weaponry."

Pricing will be announced closer to launch.

I don't think he's a member of OS, and even if he was I would tell him straight up how bad he is at the game. I'm sorry that anybody had to get stuck with him, and the fact that we continued to play with him on our team baffled me.

I admit, after we won the first game with him and he told us in the lobby how he was just about to trade the game in but after that game was starting to enjoy it more, I was proud of ourselves as if we had just helped somebody see the L4D2 light. After that it was downhill and he just kept pissing me off.

I can't imagine it won't be free on PC.

Re: Left 4 Dead 2 (360/PC)

Myself and sportsdude will be on tonight. It would be fun to get a team versus game going.

Re: Left 4 Dead 2 (360/PC)

I might be around tonight I haven't played L4D2 much at all. When I do, I really enjoy it though.
