So, anyone still playing the original? I've been having the urge to play this again, and don't want to deal with PUGs off of steam.
I don't very often, because I'm busy with other games, but I still love playing. Feel free to send an invite.[/QUOTE]

I get tired with PUGs lately. Some are well.... pretty bad.
 
Man, I am a useless infected in versus mode. I think I need to learn the maps better, I can't seem to find good ambush spots.

There was one nice moment though, I spawned as a Spitter during the Crescendo Event in the swamps, the one where the survivors have to lower a bridge and fight off the horde of zombies. They were arranged in formation inside one of the huts, to kill the zombies, which were all coming from the same direction. They forgot there's a back door to the hut.

Snuck in, one spit, four coated survivors, Great Expectorations achievement.

I got into one earlier. While we were playing infected on a versus map, one guy starts telling the rest of us that we suck, we need to learn how to play, etc. Of course he's not doing shit while he's yelling at us. Meanwhile I singlehandedly kill two people on the other team (thanks to some strategic use of windows), but he misses it. About one minute later I was playing hunter and missed a jump, so he tries to start a votekick. And what do I hear over the mic?

"You need to leave, you fucking suck. Hey, how did two of their team die? I must have done that when I wasn't even paying attention."

So yes, PUGs are pretty bad.
 
New Update fucked up my game. Reinstalling it.
It screwed me up once and then it was fine.

Steam seems to be giving you a lot of trouble, Ash.[/QUOTE]

No, it was a problem with the new update. Lots of people had it... the only fix is to uninstall the local content, delete the L4D2 folder and it's contents, then re-install. Works perfectly fine now... except most of my achievements got borked. But then again, that happened to near everyone.

I've been playing mostly on Normal (with Realism on)... beaten all the movies. I may be ready for Advanced/Expert now. Any takers?

Woo, just bought L4D2 for $30 from Dell (check out details in the Games on SALE! thread). I should be playing with you guys by next week.

woo hoo!! I might log in and do a normal game (not advance) I'm trying to do different achievements during different stages so feel free to join in (friends only)
 
So I just played through a few co-op campaigns online. Just on normal though, not ready to play advanced yet, and definitely not expert.

I'd like to humbly express my willingness to eat my words. Multiplayer really is much more fun than single player, when you've got a good team and work together.
 
I really REALLY want to pick this up, but with my new system being kaput and my $20 spending limit on games, I think it's going to be a while....

It'll probably drop as low as $30 during Black Friday/Cyber Monday. It took Left 4 Dead 1 almost a year to drop to $20, so that's probably the closest your going to get for a long time.

Edit: Why don't you just trade in some old stuff for the extra ten bucks? You probably got an old stinker or two lying around.

Funny enough, I am REALLY picky when it comes to my console games

Example of stuff on my shelf:

Suikoden 1-5, Final Fantasy 7-12, MGS 1-3, GTA: VC-IV (None of the "stories" games), Silent Hill 2, Viewtiful Joe, MvC2 (PS2), and the only thing I own on Xbox360 and Wii are Saints Row 2 and Zelda.

I just think it's hilarious that they made a porn of the first L4D game.

Yes, Rule 34 and all, I just find it funny. The fact that there is such a thing as video game porn should be a bit comical.

On the other hand, there are a lot of cases where it would also be EXTREMELY creepy.

hehe.. I love it when my team rage quit but I was able to wipe out the other team (4 players) by myself.
 
Steam name is ProjectNile.

Hit me up! :D Always up for some L4D2 or TF2.
We need your steam login name, not the name that shows up. Otherwise we can't add you to the group or try to add you to our friends list.

The fact there is game porn isn't anything strange, as there has been comic porn since comics were only found in the Newspaper. What IS odd is that a live action porno was made for the game.

*Grrr* Dell says my L4D2 order is delayed. Guess I won't be playing with y'all for another couple weeks.

At least I've got other games to keep me busy.
 
We had a good run tonight. Nobody died and we beat it on Advanced. A couple of close calls though... we should try this on Advanced a few more times before we try Expert.

Yeah. Good run. Makes me think that expert might actually be playable.
 
I need to work on a certain issue before I even think of going to Expert.

Those who played tonight know what I'm speaking of. Sorry about that, not exactly sure what happened there.
 
Can anyone here help me out with a problem? The loading time for levels takes FOREVER. Then, when I join games online my ping spikes ridiculously high (Usually 350+ when everyone else is below 50). I thought that my system would be able to handle L4D2 with no problem... so I can't figure out exactly what the issue is.

Should I turn down the graphics? I'm using recommended settings.
 
If you ALWAYS seem to have bad lag, it's probably a connection problem. What's your connection? DSL? Cable? Maybe your ports aren't forwarding correctly?
