Actually, the Barns rolling Crescendo is pretty easy if you have rifles. Since the Horde is only coming from one way (and that way is a narrow alley) you can literally kill 10-15 infected with a single shot... and if your good with Mollys like I am, you can just throw one to the end of the alley and kill everything before it gets anywhere NEAR you. Two Mollys throw well (one at the end of alley, one near the saferoom) can basically turn that crescendo into a cake walk.

It's still pretty easy, especially compared to the rolling crescendo in the Swamp's 3rd map. That's hard on EASY.
I gotta agree with Shego; when we did the Swamp with you Ash, you had us prepared for this hella badass event, after we were brutalized for the first two levels, and then that was the easiest of them.
Yeah, but the FIRST time I ran it with Shego, she was in agreement over the stupidness. In any case, I guess we're just good at different events. DC: Barns is no problem for me.
Because it had to be done... Coach is going to be so happy!
Looks like they are selling it as a t-shirt too!

While I was playing a couple days ago I got some weird graphical glitches. I'd joined a versus game with AshburnerX and RealBigNuke but the Coach-bot I replaced had already been killed off. Kind of a good thing, too, since none of the common infected were showing up, and most of the special infected were invisible as well. I didn't catch on that I wasn't seeing zombies until I saw Nick get taken down by a Witch that wasn't there. It all cleared up when the teams switched sides, but I got some screenshots:
Ellis, throwing a molotov outside of... outside?
Wait... I thought the mist was supposed to be outside the store.
Nick is posessed
Yup, he needs an excorcist, just look at all glowing vomit. I'm surprised is head isn't spinning.

lol. I join another friend's game to do the gnome (they just ran into the tunnel of love) I was playing coach. I was alive when they JUST finish and when it starts the next stage, I died right there. It was weird. The admin had to kill all of us and restart that stage.
Me thinks the new patch broke something.
They always break something with each patch. I've had to re-install every patch.
Actually, I played earlier... this one didn't break it for me, oddly enough.

I notice that some server might have tweak some settings cause last night the tank takes a lot of damage when hit by fire (unusually more damage) cause we drop the tank without firing too many shots in 7 seconds flat.
also I notice that some people can break out of smoker SOLO somehow (without any help or getting shot at)

You can shot the Smoker for about 1-2 seconds once he's got you wrapped, before you become helpless. This was actually an achievement in the last game.

no I mean I smoke him... HAVE the guy for a good 6 seconds (he is helpless) and then broke out ALL by himself cause I saw everyone else either disable or too far to do anything.
Were you on fire?
C
Chibibar
nope. I thought I pretty much had the guy, but he just broke out on his own (which surprise me) then again the server we were on last night surprise me a lot too.
Our tank swung at "Coach" at least 5-6 times but miss every single on even if the tank was pretty much on top of him (ping was like 100ms)
I was playing the Charger and decides to take on Nick (NPC survivor at the time) I was right behind him about 2 steps and MISS the charge totally...... my ping at the time was like 126ms
Switch that around and you'd be right!And yet I sit with no problems with the game. I'm sure the game company is to blame when one type of computer configuration has problems with it and thousands of others don't.
I mean the l4d2 demo had a problem with 8800's and multithreading they fixed in l4d1 with patch 1.4, which means they pretty much weren't paying attention.
But they do fix them, so they're fine imo.

I played some versus yesterday, and it is so much fun to charge players off into oblivion. Beginning of Hard Rain, survivors are just getting started and my teammate spits on them. As they scatter I climb over a nearby fence and charge one of them out into the water. Dead before he could even get past the Burger Tank.
It wasn't as fun after that, because my team started leaving, and theirs stuck together, and pretty soon it was a very uneven match.

I love Joystiq's comment, "We can't wait to meet up with last year's survivors again ... oh, assuming they really are still survivors."

I love it when Ellis tells stories about Keith.
I have a bad feeling... like this DLC is going to be the one where they decide to start charging PC users for their updates.
Actually, the console players got Crash Course for L4D and they charged for that. The only reason the console TF2 players haven't gotten the updates is because Microsoft wanted to charge for each individual update. Valve is holding off until all the classes have been updated before releasing that stuff on the console so people don't feel cheated for the price.
