[Multiplatform] Left 4 STOP THROWING PIPE BOMBS AT THE TANKS

I'm cool with the sequel so long as they don't take out those sweet trinity-in-the-matrix hunter jumps where they hang in mid-air during massive lag.

Because that shit was unbelievably funny. Could use more camera rotation around it next time though.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I don't even want to talk about the first two rounds, that shit was un-fucking-playable for me. It stopped on the last round when the two dudes were holding up in the saferoom, so I don't know if I was having some sort of specific issue with one of the other guys or what. Probably with big titties.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's ok because Kyndig goes into hyper-asshole/idiot mode when games become unplayable and I couldn't stop laughing.

He was like a kid in a candy store during LAGFEST '09, it's the only reason I didn't suggest quitting.

"I'm a smoker, Im a smoker gonna sing my smoker song"

god.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Daravon missed the best part.

After we were done, I logged off the Live Group we were in and got defaulted back to the L4D lobby, and what do I hear?

Tails: (to random player) "...show you the shape of Italy."

I had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Oh, and do you PC dudes ever have a problem with not getting the music cues? Daravon's been swearing up and down he doesn't hear the Tank music anymore, and I miss it too every now and again. Sound settings seem fine.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It's weird, because I used to have that problem just occasionally, but over the past week or so every single game we've played I have not heard the tank music at all, and it's fucked me (and the team) a couple times because of it. GOD FORBID Kyndig call it out when it starts after I ask like 5 times. I think LeHah said he was having it happen sometimes now too?

I was speaking idiomatically.

No. Occasionally I would think so but it was just getting drowned out by the zombie rapetrain I had coming at me from every direction.

But then I changed the Tank theme to Caramelldansen so it's pretty distinct over the general din.

How ya doing, buddy?

I actually heard a story about the and stuff that if another special zombie's music is in effect, another one can't override it or something of the sort.

The story I heard was that a witch had somehow gotten stuck somewhere and glitched the whole game. Infinitely looping the witches music. However, because one special zombie's music can't be overridden, they didn't see the tank come at all, and he completely annihilated them.

Yeah, it's kinda like that.

FELIPE NO

well I guess after reading the official new from steam I jumped a little bit to fast to conclusion.

L4D2 seam really a good upgrade to the already good L4D.

and SailorDaravon manage to made me realize how much stupid my comment was, yeah >.>

and if L4D2 is has good then the first one, then I guess it will just be more fun. It's not like the first one will become obsolete anytime soon.

I still think that its kind of soon, but its probably just me, use to now game taking longer to make. I guess its a good point that Valve is able to make quality game in that short period.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I know if you get boomed right before the tank arrives you won't hear the music. I imagine there's similar issues with the Witch.

SD, do you install the game in any way on your 360? If you were on a PC I'd recommend reinstalling to see if that helps, but I don't know if there's anything like that on a 360.

Also, goddamn, the past two days I've played there's always been at least one person on the other team that intentionally kills themself/gets raped so they just get to play as infected. And they invariably suck as infected, so it's not even like they're having a good time raping us.

Additional Spam:
I just hit up the L4D website and saw they put some info on their blog that hasn't been mentioned here.

We've just announced that Left 4 Dead 2 is coming later this year! It's a much larger game than the original, and features new co-op and versus campaigns, all-new Survivors, boss zombies, weapons, and items, as well as melee combat. Check out the teaser trailer, and watch this space for more news in the coming days.

I'm guessing new boss zombies would be like alternatives to tanks which could make the game pretty interesting. I'd definitely like to see a randomized boss such that you don't know exactly what you're facing until it's right there going AGHAHAHHAGHGHGHGHAAAA in your face.

I also wonder if they'll port the original L4D maps in to the new game so you can try it out with melee and new items.

Edit again!

Quote:

Set for release on November 17, the title adds melee combat to enable deeper co-operative gameplay, with items such as a chainsaw, frying pan, axe, baseball bat, and more.

Introducing the AI Director 2.0, L4D's dynamic gameplay is taken to the next level by giving the Director the ability to procedurally change weather effects, world objects, and pathways in addition to tailoring the enemy population, effects, and sounds to match the players' performance. The result is a unique game session custom fitted to provide a satisfying and uniquely challenging experience each time the game is played.

Makes you wonder if they're finally going to enable body collisions.

On a similar note, Chet noted that they were discussing including the original four Left 4 Dead campaigns with Left 4 Dead 2. The thinking is that this would make things easier for consumers.

If Left 4 Dead 2 isn't going to be an expansion, then this would be ideal. Having it be one supergame would be pretty cool, and on the PC it'd be fun to bring the original foursome over to the new levels (and on 360, pleeeeeeeeeeeease!)

And as for new special infected, that article also mentions that because some of the levels are in broad daylight, Witches have developed this nasty habit of wandering around.

Moving witches.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

To eliminate camping as a tactic, the crescendo moments have been rethought. Now you might have to hit a switch that alerts the zombie horde, but then you have to battle your way through a mess of undead in order to hit a second switch that actually stops the zombies from swarming you. In another crescendo moment, there's no switch. Instead, there's a parking lot stuffed with cars, and every one of them has a car alarm.

I think this game might actually get my full $50 (on PC, of course).

Also, witch wandering in in the middle of a horde is going to be loooooooooooool.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I finally bowed to peer pressure and purchased the game on 360. If you need someone to shoot you in the back or die in horrible ways, I'm your man.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

WHY DIDN'T YOU BUY IT FOR PC, NUTTYTURNIP

DON'T YOU KNOW EVERYONE PLAYS IT ON PC, NUTTYTURNIP

I was speaking idiomatically.

I own it for the PC, but I keep forgetting to check if anyone is actually in game on the gamingforce group tab

I'd enjoy getting some 25 damage pounces on you bitches...Hell I should check right now.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I was going for "Sarcastic imitation of Pang" there actually

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Nah, I'm not about to get worked up over nutty

You guys can have him

Most amazing jew boots

This isn't a battle for my soul, you know.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Not quite as good as the Banned from Live one, but still lulzy.

Anyway. TODAY. 5PM. LEFT 4 SLEEP DEPRIVATION. I will be on the mic shouting incomprehensible garbage and it'll take you like five minutes to realize I was pounced way back in the beginning why were you back there tails oh god

Daravon. LeHah. Some other fag on the 360, are you man enough to withstand my shoddy sleepless play?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Anything is better than teaming with mo0. I pulled off so much choice shit last night and almost all of it was undone because I had to rescue someone else because mo0 couldn't be bothered to man up.

I'm down for this evening

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'd definitely be up for some action around 8pm or so (7 at the earliest, since I don't get home until then). Sorry for bailing last night, but during the week I have to be up at 6am for work. I didn't realize L4D matches went on for so long (I thought they were scored as individual missions and not one big long campaign).

I was speaking idiomatically.

Goddamn, do you guys get a lot of 4channers on the 360 version? I had two games in a row where all it was was them shouting shitty memes and furporn sprays on the walls. Every level they'd try to run it, get their asses kicked, and then they'd fail miserably at trying to stop us. Hell, at one point we had one person try to run it alone on our team, get crushed, and then the three of us were able to finish without a problem. Twice they even had three hunters and a smoker, and they still failed.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Not really, RR. We get mostly randoms at best. Also up for some action this evening, if there is any space.

FELIPE NO

So yeah, here it is 6 pm and WHERE THE FUCK IS TAILS

WHENEVER HE AIN'T ON 360, EVERYONE SHOULD SAY "WHERES TAILS"

NIGGA YOU GET ACCESS TO A TIME MACHINE?
