So I noticed alot of people consider this one of the best games out, or at least the most played. This is a discussion thread for the game, although they have their own forums. Post gamertags if you play on 360 and just want some good people to team with. I think it's kinda messed up that MS is forcing valve to charge for there dlc, but at the same time I love the game enough to not complain about it, just the sooner the better. What do you consider glitching, me personally I don't mind smokers pull/killing, but blocking pathways is rediculous. Had a game earlier today where the enemy team blocked us on every oppurtunity, and they still lost. So far my favorite kill is pulling someone out of the elevator as a smoker, only done it once though. I think all the zombies are well balanced, but it depends on where your at in the stage.

The title of this thread is verrrrrry clever.

I'd love to play L4D, but it sounds like the PS3 port got scrapped. :(

i'm thinking about asking my neighbor to lend me this for 360 while my computer's away for repairs... i became pretty addicted to this right before my PC bit the dust.

we didn't really have to worry about the path-blocking on PC (only a few spots where a tank could knock cars in the way), but melee-exploiting was really obnoxious.

i became known for my excellent smoker skills in my group, so he was definitely my favorite though i was really getting the hang of kicking ass with the hunter too.

shame the ps3 port isn't gonna be released, sony probably wouldn't force valve to charge for additional content. I never understood the melee spamming glitch, if you have a good team there is no need to switch weapons to melee faster. Although I think they should add a melee stamina, even if it's only a 3 second full charge. A good group constantly melee'ing is like a smoker null, no chance of grabbing someone away from the group. Also a good group vs. a tank makes me hate being the tank, I can do some major damage against a decent team, but when people melee rocks and stuff it is a bummer. It also sucks when a team keeps the tank away on the finale, but it takes full cooperation so maybe it should be that way since it's so difficult to get a full team to cooperate. Anyone got the nothing special achievement yet?

Definitely tell me if you do this.

I kind of suck at the game. Pretty bad. Then again, I've only been playing for a couple days, interchangeably with Rock Band, haha. Love it, though. I like playing Boomer and just falling on top of groups, getting shot and covering them with my remains.

I like how the game really punishes those that try to be all Rambo and head off alone. Most everyone I've had over to try the game tries to head off solo, like they're going to prove themselves, and immediately get barfed on or strangled.

i only lost my cool twice, though i've heard XBL is plagued by a much worse community, so you guys may end up seeing a less sophisticated player.

i can roll with bad/new players just fine, but when people act like douchebags or refuse to learn from their mistakes and/or play as a team then i my finger usually wanders towards the "kick-vote" key. :)

It really isn't all that bad on Xbox now. Many of the people that got it for christmas have found out that it isn't halo so they stopped playing. Not as many path blockers either though I have started my stance on it. If they try to block me they will get it in every stage.

i started out playing only campaign, but finally got addicted to versus and never turned back. i probably haven't played campaign since the third week the game was out.

one the first level do you mean breaking the glass on the roof first thing or jumping down to the alley?

i'm pretty sure the alley jump was fixed on the PC version as i've never seen anyone successfully do it.
the other is so insignificant that i don't think anyone cares. :)

as for breaking down the dock door that's grounds for me to leave the game or kick someone. that's not cool at all.

That was really cool...I was going for my 'Stand Tall' achievement, on No Mercy, and a Smoker got me, and it pulled me over the edge up near the top of the building (on scene 4), and I got stuck on the edge (while still wrapped up), and my teammates had to help me up. So there went my achievement! Poo, so much hard work...

Yeah, I'll add gamertags in the OP, may take me a few though, on a slow computer atm. Not sure if you've noticed yet afterstasis, but the 360 hasn't got the patch yet, at least it hadn't yesterday. So people are still blocking the elevators, but most of the good players are cool enough to not do it. One of the main reasons I'm filling up my friends list as opposed to keeping it to people I know irl like I used to. BTW, did the patch fix the breaking the door and melee'ing the control panel glitches on the no mercy campaign?

the patch fixed the dock door, but i don't know what you're talking about in regards to the control panel.
that's probably something that was fixed in the first patch, along with blocking the elevator.

the PC received another update today fixing the melee exploit and a few minor things.

hey kiggidykev,
i highly recommend playing a little single-player campaign mode before jumping into versus. there's a lot to learn that people kinda expect you to know when you're in versus mode.

it's your game and all, but i wanted to give you a heads up on what's generally considered the best way to prepare for versus. just play through the no mercy and blood harvest campaigns once or twice to get a feel for the maps and get used to the game and then you should be ready to delve into the magic that is versus mode. :)

kiggidykev
01-24-2009, 12:46 PM
Yeah, I'll probably play through the normal campaign a few more times before trying Versus again. I kept getting lost or making stupid moves, like running right up to people with the Smoker, and falling off the roof a few times with my Hunters.

crowning the witch = perfect shotgun blast to the neck/head region. i've noticed the 360 has a glitch where you can jump on top of the witch while she's still crouched and she can do nothing.
it's pretty cheesy, but not the sort of exploit i personally get upset over.

my most satisfying kill was on the first roof in NM5 after they come up the ladder. one guy was jumping down and i caught him in a hunter-pounce at the perfect angle and we both hurtled downwards for an instant kill.

i've had plenty of smoker instant-kills on that same rooftop as well, but that hunter-pounce was just flat-out arousing!

I've had a hunter-pounce like that before, only it was in the sewers, where you go up the ladder and try to run into the hospital. I was crouching just outside of it and as soon as the first guy came up I jumped on him and we both fell through the manhole. The guy below him just kept going up. Eventually I killed the guy and climbed back up, the second guy was kinda punching the zombies around him, so I jumped him as well and we fell down the manhole again! It was pretty awesome

i'm gonna try and find a few good guides for versus mode to post, and maybe even edit in some of my own pointers.
just don't misinterpret it as me being a jerk or elitist.
i just wanna help you guys improve. you'll enjoy versus much more, and we'll roll like grease lightning!

It's not good, it's just pretty much lucky. I still don't know where any of the good spots are; I just run around the corner and do my thing as soon as they come around

Oh that's right, one thing I forgot to add; whenever you're the tank, I've found you can get maximum pleasure smacking around the survivors if you sing or are listening to this song: (NSFW for lyrics)

yeah I had a blast playin with you guys earlier even if I did end up on the losing team pretty much every game, and did get instakilled off the roof in the finale of that last one I played. Was cool to hear you guys outside of the forum, suprisingly none of you are little kids lol. Also pretty cool that most of the names I recognize from the forums are playing this. Unfortunately I had to work tonight and again tomorrow, so you might see me for a game or 2 tomorrow but not much until monday night. Left 4 dead has put more people on my friendslist than all other 360 games combined, it's hard for me to get on anymore without getting at least 4 game invites, it's got a great social vibe, and while I haven't met anyone irl that I play left 4 dead with, I know their voices, attitudes and tactics well.

Wow... I almost crapped my pants.

We were in the apartments in Dead Air and we heard an angry growl we had never heard before (It turned out to be the tank, BTW.) and we went looking for it. We opened a door, and the tank was on the other side. We got owned

lulz. Zach, my brother, and I were playing versus. The other team decided to block up an entrance in act 3 of No Mercy. We get pipebombs and try and blow it open, doesnt work. So, we decide to get in a closet and camp. After like... 20 minutes of us sitting in the closet, they start begging us to come out and they even moved the thing they blocked.

Funny... they wanted us to sit there and not move... but then they wanted us to go through the level.

01-25-2009, 08:34 AM
lol, that happened to me yesterday but my team and I were impatient so we killed them for a few then took our own lives, so we went after them with a vengeance the next round, we tried to block them but it didn't work but we took them out before they got to the saferoom and still kicked their arses. They left before the finale cause they were getting owned so bad, even by blocking us every chance they got. It's always fun when someone cheats and it still doesn't help them.

yeah, i stuck it out in that game 'til about the end of the 3rd round. we were crushing them and all, but no one in my team had any clue and after being killed from green health by a smoker while my 3 team members stand on a train and watch, i decided to inform them that they were one of the worst and least cooperative teams i've ever played with and left.

i heard one guy say "why are we winning then", but i had unfortunately just hit the "exit" button.
i guess having one member of your team do everything for them probably leads to weak players never getting better. i had to inform one guy that smokers aren't quite meant for close-range combat and then another dude swore up and down that regular shotgun was better than the auto-shotty. :(

so i've still only played one full game without cheaters... :(

the most recent was the worst... a group that was so terrible that the score was somewhere around 3,000 - 50 in our favor by the end of the third level but they blocked the manhole with two dumpsters.

they need to release that patch fast. this community is beyond pathetic.

trench762
01-25-2009, 12:59 PM
yeah, cheaters are pretty bad, that's why I'm filling up my friendslist on this game, if you find a few good players it's not that hard to find a good game, main thing is making sure everyone has a mic, and boot little kids. I can understand a few people cheating when the exploits were first discovered, but now everyone thinks they know a secret, like that last game we played with me manzeer and watduflux on a team and the kid that blocked the sewers on you guys.
