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

I don't know how up-to-date the 360 is on patches but I don't think there's ever been a point where it wasn't a maximum of 25 damage. Frankly I think it's probably for the best; even bumping it up to 35 or so turns the game into Airborne Screeching Rapefest Forever.

To answer Mo0's question taking advantage of massive hunter pounces is pretty damn easy provided the survivors are in a pretty tight formation. That second or two of stun as they reel back is prime boomin' time.

Why are you a terrible boomer, mo0

why

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yes.

If anything, the cap makes sense. The game sometimes spawns three hunters at a time (though we played a game this week where it spawned all four of us as hunters at one time) and having them pounce to do 50 damage or more would make for too frustrating an experience.

Mo0 is good at three things

1.) Being the tank
2.) Kicking serious ass and taking names... but only when he's on the losing team
3.) Eating huge tubs of GayLea butter, now with snap-on lids.

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

Don't forget guys, Kyndig's able to break the damage cap with Hunter pounces.

Also as far as I know Hunter pushing is in the 360 version, but I had forgotten about it even existing until last night, I need to check that out. I know one or two people who can do hunter walljumping almost as good as those videos, but yeah it's a hell of a lot harder on 360.

Additional Spam:
Messed around a bit in a hilarious randoms game, I didn't get much of a chance to experiment with hunter pushing, but bunny hopping appears to definitely be in the 360 version.

Also from now on YOU fuckers need to rope games together. I'm getting annoyed with the fact that it seems that everybody is usually wanting/willing to play, but it's always somehow up to me to call people or get everybody together, even when everyone's already online and wants to play. Or we'll plan to get on, and people don't get on, or people tell me to call them then they never answer or call back, etc. Most of you peeps have my number and know my schedule, gimmie a ring if you want to play.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If anyone wants to play PC L4D today I'm gonna be around for the next few hours. I'm sick of only playing with randoms at 6 AM, so it would be nice to have some people I know (and hopefully don't suck) on my team.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

For those wondering, we didn't have ammo or medpacks in the starting safe rooms on the fourth and fifth maps. Pretty sure that was a bug, since it hasn't always happened that way. I'm wondering if it's the fault of the mapmaker or if it's because the L4D authoring tools suck.

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

Hysterical night on L4D. Things that were witnesse during No Mercy:

* The last two survivors were running to the saferoom in The Apartments. Daravon and Goodhand, at the last possible second, pounced and smoker pulled them before they could close the door, killing them in the little hallway before the bathroom.

* Level 2 featured so much gangbangin' zombie action that I can't remember some of it because we were laughing so hard. The survivors got pulled off the ledge by the window at least twice, maybe three times. I also pulled off my best Hunter pounce yet - someone was being swarmed at the botom of the ladder of the lift. A second survivor went to help and was shooting from the top of the lift, downward to kill some of the zombies. From ground level, I jumped up, just barely touched the second survivor - and then pulled him all the way back down.

* Level 3: We were ontop of the Hospital, waiting for the survivors to turn the corner and run into the witch. I ran out and boomed on two of them (I think it was two? I died immedeately) and in the chaos, the Witch started ruining one of the survivor's shit. Daravon smoker pulls one off of the ledge and then out of fucking nowhere like Goddamned Batman ontop of the Joker - Goodhand Hunter pounces on the last standing survivor and over the ledge and out the window those two pixies went. Everyone died within about two minutes of incredible gangfuckery.

Left 4 Dead 'Crash Course' campaign DLC free on PC, $7 on 360 -.this September

New map for L4D with a supposed "streamlined" versus mode that'll make matches only last 30 minutes.

Also $7 for circle owners but free for pc people.

Most amazing jew boots

If it means for more epic GFF Versus on the 360 and yelling at Mo0, then so be it! I'll pay the 7 bux.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It's crap that 360 people have to pay for it, but not unexpected. I'll gladly pay $7 for a new campaign, though. A nice surprise that they would actually bother releasing a DLC campaign now that Left 4 Dead 2 is coming so soon.

FELIPE NO

What does this 30 minute versus thing mean exactly? I don't like the sound of it.

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

It's supposed to be a bridge between the first two campaigns, so I'm assuming it means that it's shorter in length, as opposed to being timed.

How ya doing, buddy?

More on that good news, tinged with "fuck you Microsoft" for 360 owners:

Quote:

Left 4 Dead is getting some new content in September with a new content pack called "Crash Course." The content "bridges the gap between the end of the 'No Mercy' campaign and the beginning of 'Death Toll' in the original game, expanding the game universe with new locations, new dialogue from the original cast, and an explosive finale."

Are you excited yet? The content will include Survival maps and a co-op campaign, but the real story is in a revamped version of the Versus mode. The goal is to be able to play a complete game in 30 minutes. "A recharge timer for infected teammates has also been added, and item spawn behavior has changed for more balanced gameplay," Valve explains.

There's not much more information to share, although PC gamers have it over on 360 fans: the update will be free via Steam, but will cost 560 Microsoft points ($7) on Xbox Live.

Sounds like it'll be ace, though bloody annoying that 360 owners have to pay. That can only be down to Microsoft controlling pricing strategy, unless Valve just hate console players.

Valve hates consoles, but I doubt they'd take it out on the players.

I'm wondering what they mean by "a recharge timer for infected teammates." It's already boring enough playing as an infected when you get offed and have to wait ~20 seconds to respawn, so having to wait even longer might really suck.

Unless they let us play as normal infected in the meantime.

Looking forward to seeing a pipe getting thrown and then four zombies ignoring it and slowly rambling towards the survivors.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Thread bumpage, but it's worth asking again.

So Valve announced that Crash Course would be available on XBL by next week. Anyone else getting this so we could get some rounds in on this?

Most amazing jew boots

I'm in.

FELIPE NO

LEHAH SHALL BE WITH YOU, SIR

Those zombies don't stand a chance.

Hmmm, perhaps not if they're randomly going to up the price for what should be free:

Quote:

Left 4 Dead add-on Crash Course has been released on Steam and Xbox Live Marketplace, as Valve said it would be.

Valve didn't tell us the Xbox 360 version would cost 800 MS Points (£6.80/€9.60), however - 560 MSP (£4.76 / €6.72) was the previously announced price. It's not clear whether this is intended or simply an error. Tom's downloading the add-on for Xbox 360 now.
