2) The closer to the entire team you can throw your Molotov, the better.

This is definitely Skills's special move. I've yet to play a game of L4D with him where he hasn't set me on fire at least once during a game.

So I just got a >16 minute gold record in survival with a team of three plus bot in the sewers. Only one of us had played it before.

If I understood correctly, we played local host, and the game lagged like all hell, with jerky movement, which at the same time made hitting a distant moving target hard, but also essentially worked as a bullet-time making you far faster in reactions. Not to mention two tanks managed to get stuck in the ceiling by climbing a pipe and then not being able to get down. It was a lot of fun, but I feel like I won a 100m running competition against someone I'd knocked over.

Hopefully they fix.. something.. so people don't start pulling off 30 minute records by exploiting something like this.

Or maybe 16 minutes is not that good and I misunderstood.

Yeah, Tanks are buggy as hell in Survival for some reason. Pointlessly climbing to the highest point and then climbing down again, hopping the same fence in both directions 40 times, standing in a windowframe and just spinning in place. I can only guess they didn't update the pathfinding for the adjusted level geometry and that's why we're seeing such irrational behavior.

16:00 is pretty goddamn good unless you're a deliberately exploiting goontard. I've seen scores of over an hour from people who know precisely how to cheap everything out.

We pretty much defended two of the corners and skimping on healing, occasionally making dashes for ammo when the opportunity arose. I just felt we were getting off far too easy because of the lag (as in, it wasn't the usual lag of an enemy popping up in a new place but everything moved very jerkily, essentially doubling your speed) and worried everyone else will just exploit the hell out of something like that.

Yup. It's retarded.

Since there was a leaderboard addition on the 360 (uncertain if the PC version has this for survival times), it's become a contest to see just how long you can cheat until your xbox overheats and freezes on you.

Some of them have 10 hours as the top time.

Yeah, the PC leaderboards apparently haven't appeared yet and judging from the idiocy that ladders always cause in any game I kind of hope they never do. The last thing I want in a pick-up game is to be ordered around by a bunch of aspie clanners trying to "improve their rank".

I like the fact everyone was all "Remember when we were in the alleyway and the Tank took everyone out with the dumpster?" and then it happened *again*?

Also, that we left Tails on the roof to die and he didn't say anything the whole time; he just logged off.

JUST AS PLANNED. Sorry about that last round folks, it was late, I was tired, and by then everyone in the place was asleep so I had to watch the noise level. I wanted it to be over so I could go the hell to sleep, sorry if anyone thought I ragequit.

Fun times last night all around. We all were pretty much huge failures except for Daravon although there were some good moments in there.

Kudos to Mo0 for killing all of us as the tank that one round, though I don't think it beats my point blank Incredible Hulk rock smash. One of these days I'll figure out what the fuck is going on, I promise.

Well, since Steam has no sort of user rating system a la XBL's stars, if that were the case you could just fuck with them by throwing molotovs at the team/wasting pipe bombs/just shooting them in the face.

Also fun is using the corner glitch on Last Stand to instantly kill yourself.

Learning the tank is so goddamn stressful, because everyone wants you to kick ass as the tank and no amount of I HAVE NEVER USED HIM BEFORE shuts up your team.

The biggest thing I've learned is to run around and try to find something that glows red. Your best ammunition is things you can throw at people using right trigger. I've never managed to hit anyone with a rock, but I killed all four of you with a car.

Tank play is simple:

1. Never throw rocks. Ever.
2. Go for the survivor who is not green.
3. Once you incap someone, move onto the next.

That's really all there is to it. Environmental things are situational like ledges to punch people off or cars to punch at people.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I dunno how fast people move about on the 360 version, but picking up a rock as a tank on the PC version is an invitation for everyone to run up and unload all of their ammo into you.

Twice.

it's also frustrating when all the survivors are in green health C'MON TEAM WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING ;_;
