Re: Left 4 Dead
Hey its not my fault I got the achievement in my first game and I love splattering her brains and writhing body all over the ground... ok wait it is my fault but its not my fault that I got a screw loose. Just like when it comes to gettings ambushes done perfectly.

Re: Left 4 Dead
I'm starting to feel that I am decent in this game. I still make mistakes as surviour but I get along. I am pretty good at putting ambushes as a boomer and I can get around playing a smoker
But what's wrong with the hunter. I can't play with him. I always get stuck, I can't aim, I can't pounce. That wall jumping thing just doesn't work for me.
I don't know what to do as a hunter.
Re: Left 4 Dead
After being killed a too many times, I've decided to let others disturb the witch. The witch can actually be quite dumb when you disturb her at a distance. The last campaign (Blood Harvest), when we were in a werehouse before going onwards to the railroad tracks, we were on the top level of the werehouse, which had some horizontal beams connecting steel passages. I shot the witch from afar and immediatly went through the beam to the other side. The witch was previously running up the stairs to the first passage, now had to run across the bottom floor werehouse to run up the stairs which led to the other steel passage.

Re: Left 4 Dead
If the boomer is the architect of an ambush, the hunter is definitely the guy who makes it come to fruition. When a smoker hits a survivor he is going to draw someone along with him. That person will be desperately trying to melee the smoked survivor and save them. they are also a perfect target for a pounce from behind! Just make sure you don't pounce the guy the smoker has (easiest way to annoy your teammates, steal kills)
Hunters are the ultimate team oriented class, they feed off the strengths of the other infected and really shine best when they pounce after a boomer bile or a smoker has separated the survivors.
Oh, and tanks. When a tank comes don't just hang back and watch the action! A tank causes mass confusion, especially on non-finale maps. Use that to your advantage!
Re: Left 4 Dead
I usually play with 3 other friends so we discuss our ambushes and tactics. And in theory I understand them. But in reallity I always get stuck when jumping or hit the wrong target (like f.e. when the boomer hits 3 people you wanna hit the non-purple guy since the other ones are blind). But somehow I never get it done right. Well, okay.. It works from time to time.
As for the tank, yeah, at some parts its esentiall to creat confusion among the surviours. Plus it its lethal to throw cars and trees. Some parts may require to park the tank, if you play NM and the surv. hide in the elevator shaft its suicide to go in there as a tank. So I park the tank somewhere the cpu can kick em of the building. Works.

Re: Left 4 Dead
I'd accept your challange if we have a decent ping. (Which I doubt seeing that you come from CA)
Re: Left 4 Dead
Sadly, that is not the case. Just lead the way with one of the generators.
Last night, the witch was near the gas station on, um, that one map where you can shoot the gas pumps and make it blow up. So I did, and the witch died! Yeah for me not getting incapp'd.
Where are you guys from?I'd accept your challange if we have a decent ping. (Which I doubt seeing that you come from CA)

Re: Left 4 Dead
on expert each zombie does 10 points per hit. hordes are the biggest concern, more than hunters or smokers. the special infected does come 3-4 at a time, but they are uncoordinated and predictable. tanks have the same life as on advanced.
as already said, FF is a huge deal. even a close FF shot with the pistol, yes the pistol, will drop someone. i would also recommend at least one sniper rifle on expert. and don't use your medpacs until you are black and white, because when u respawn you get 50 health straight up, better to let people die than get the whole team killed in some situations.
you still get the achievement if you die, as long as its not on the finale and prevents you from escaping

Re: Left 4 Dead
Just had an awesome game as tank. My first, and later, perhaps best ever time as tank was tonight.
On the second to last No Mercy level, at the top of the elevator, I was chosen to become the tank.
The survivors stayed in the elevator. I remembered what a beating Veho had laid down on my team once when he through a generator thing into the elevator. So I did as well. But it became stuck in the doorway. I went up, hitting it again and again, but it didn't budge and my health went lower and lower.
Finally it flew into the elevator and I followed, flailing around at everyone I could. Somehow I managed to get all the survivors down with help from my teammates. Just as I finally died, they were all incapp'd. It was a massacre.
Now I have to get to bed.

Versus is a lot of fun about 30% of the time, and the other 70% of the time it can be summed up with this:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
And half the time it's after the first mission.

Re: Left 4 Dead
Yes, but an amazing thing happens every so often. If you find yourself in a position where your entire team just left and its you vs 4? Rush. Rush like you've never rushed before. Don't stop for anything. Check your 6, bash any hunters, and strafe so a smoker can't tag you.
On BH4 I managed to solo the entire chapter because the infected were heavily cocky about killing me, screaming for me to rage quit. I essentially juked their entire team and laughed all the way into the finale. They didn't even kill the bots.

Re: Left 4 Dead
last night, shortly after CR left, I got a team that actually agreed to set up at the picnic table on BH1. It went something like this: boom....in the ruckus one ventures over the picnic table, and i am on other side of ravine with smoker and pull him in, at first i was mad he didn't just fall dead like sometimes, but turns out his hanging was better because as a buddy ran to cliff to pull him up, another buddy stood guard and got pounced, and the impact of the pounce sent helping buddy over the edge, then survivor number 4 came over and meleed hunter off and he got pounced, which sent the other guy who was just standing up over the edge as well, game over. very satisfying, except the entire survivor team quit without even taking their turn

Re: Left 4 Dead
Versus is great when you are on the winning team.
I think Versus should be set to advanced difficulty so that way everyone is a winnah (aka everyone dies when its their turn as a survivor). That way everyone comes off happy.

Re: Left 4 Dead
Playing with bots in versus is always interesting. I recall playing a game a little while ago where my teammates actually left me to die so they could heal downed robo-Zoey instead.Yes, but an amazing thing happens every so often. If you find yourself in a position where your entire team just left and its you vs 4? Rush. Rush like you've never rushed before. Don't stop for anything. Check your 6, bash any hunters, and strafe so a smoker can't tag you.
On BH4 I managed to solo the entire chapter because the infected were heavily cocky about killing me, screaming for me to rage quit. I essentially juked their entire team and laughed all the way into the finale. They didn't even kill the bots.
And then there are all of those moments when the bots die trying to heal people at really inappropriate times. Like when they're at 51 health, or when a tank is about to murder the entire team if everybody doesn't just run.

Re: Left 4 Dead
yeah bots will also try to kill every last zombie in the area when you are incapped/pounced/smoked before thy even think about helping you up. One bot is okay but someone else has to compensate on rescue duties. Two bots is unbearable, especially then they run ahead.
Baby Quit Your Cryin' Put Your Clown Britches On!!!
Re: Left 4 Dead
Yeah, one bot can be made up for if the rest of the team has decent situational awareness. If they don't you can easily be wiped when you should have been able to recover no problem. The only good use bots have in Versus is that they can see through foliage on Blood Harvest, it's seriously annoying to get shot as a boomer because the bot has auto-aim.
Re: Left 4 Dead
I recently got kicked from a versus game because I only boomed one of the survivors at the beginning of the second chapter in No Mercy.
And after that I spent 30 minutes waiting in various Versus lobbies, plus about 15 minutes playing a versus game that we had to end because rage quitting reduced the other team to only one player, and everyone who joined left because the team they were forced to join was losing. I think that I'm actually going to just completely give up on Versus.

It will parse games in progress and throw you into one, no waiting in lobbies needed. Sometimes you get "game is full" and need to try again, sometimes you join one that is close to the finale, but it guarantees you won't need to wait long.
Re: Left 4 Dead
Well, that would take care of my biggest problem with the versus. Thanks for the tip; I'm not sure why that didn't occur to me before.
The other thing that I don't like is that versus just seems to bring out the worst in people: I honestly think that it gets people more worked up than political discussions. Maybe people who have played stuff like CS are used to stuff this, but I've never encountered so much PMS in a game. Or anything, for that matter.
edit - seriously, FPS Doug is well balanced compared to most versus players.

Re: Left 4 Dead
Eh, I have to admit, for all my whining, the regular game is still a lot of fun at least.
Pever - the guy who quit that last game was so odd. He sounded like he was actually dying on the mic when that hunter was killing him. To be fair, he was decent at the game, but that's probably the most serious I've ever seen anyone take Left4Dead. Or any game.
edit - opps double post, sorry.

Re: Left 4 Dead
Yeah, i love versus but some people take it way too seriously. It's annoying when someone doesn't save you from a hunter or smoker when they are 5 feet away, but raging about it doesn't help the situation. Personally? I'll play Versus even if my team is down 3k to nothing. I enjoy it.

Re: Left 4 Dead
lol, you wouldnt be talking about me being 5 feet away and leaving you to die? lol.
No wait, I usually leave you guys behind, and rush ahead. GO ZOEY!!
