When Left 4 Dead 2 comes out.....

[NIZ08]

Do you guys think the game will last with the online community? I know not all games have the best community, but I remember when L4D 1 came out there was so many laid back players on there, it was fun to even play with randoms while talking or even without a mic.

But when christmas came around the corner, everything went into the shithole.
Oh well, I just wanna fuck some people up as The Charger and The Jockey.

[ReD]

Like any game these days. Left 4 Dead was exploited for glitches and the like, balances issues etc.

There is a force out there boycotting the sequel as merely new skins on the same game. IMO it seems a bit far fetched though considering all the new content.

At the same time, the community will be divided especially if Valve continues to delay the Crash Course campaign/possible patch for L4D until the near release date of the sequel.

L4D is fine if you eliminate the voice chat commandos, modded servers that slant one way or the other because of lame admins who auto ban if you don't listen to everything they say.

Everything is fine minus the Tkers and Versus.

Valve like other gaming companys need to implement an auto ban system simply for tkers and griefers of any kind. Unless your killed by the infected, then your auto banned for a period of two months.

As far as Versus. Almost any competitive or even non competitive game these days will revolve around the survivor team spamming shotties/autoshotties and rat racing into the safe room. Non of that is any fun.

In any case, you need a lot more team work/skill to win as the infected vs the survivors unless the survivor team is full of noobs.

One of the biggest cries also about the sequel is the possible buffing of all the special infected due to the new additions. I say why not because it creates new combination's of attacks which helps the infected it what will probably a game where the survivors will still be able to spam 1 hit kill shotties and other potentially spammable weapons.

[NIZ08]

I'm glad they have more new special infected and new common-uncommon infected, will make it a challenge and even more fun being a survivor with the difficulties you have to face in surviving now.

They look hard to me, but I like that since survivors aren't suppose to survive, and when you do survive while facing all these new enemies in the game, man will it be the greatest feeling ever in beating that particular level.

I agree with this.

Sidenote: the L4D DLC for 360 is rumored to be playable at the end of the month
http://kotaku.com/5358347/is-left-4-deads-crash-course-coming-sept-23

I'll believe that when i see it

[NIZ08]

I won't be able to play crash course since I sold my copy of L4D 1. Friends stopped playing it and the game became unplayable to me since i kept getting kicked for no reason, games always ended early from people rage-quitting, hell some of them didn't even play the game as a team or just ruining my fun and others with teamkilling us and such.

[Godfatha]

Valve games, when supported properly, tend to have really long legs to them. And if L4D2 is more than the 1year later expansion pack a lot of people fear, it should get a healthy community like all the others. of course you'll have the usual BS, but that's inevitable.

Crash Course available Sept 29

It's 560.

[ReD]

Crash Course is shorter but arguably harder/longer for 2 maps especially if you play with novice players. You sort of have to move fast through it otherwise they swarm you.

:hmmm: thats the exact amount of msp i have

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

For the PC owners out there waiting to get pt2, Steam has this 4 pack deal which costs, per person, about $33. So if anyone is up for it we can gather 4 UHMers, have one buy it while the others send the main buyer the money (FrighT :elstare::D) You also get an early access to a demo, not sure when its out, and an exclusive in-game weapon: a bat

Well, if you guys wanna know or get excited more about the game, I am pretty sure the original special infected have new skins in the sequel.

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/pc-poolside-left-4-dead/57435

When you get to :51 and so on in the video, the smoker has a new look as you can tell. I remember Valve stating that the original infected would have new models for the sequel, for an updated look and also have different traits from the original SI in taking out the survivors (I read it on www.zombicidal.com/l4d2/). Don't know if they will have different skill sets from the original SI anymore right now, but at least we got new models of them.

Here are some pics of them also:

for our aussie friends

[ReD]

Been playing the Demo for this via the pre order early release.

I think this game is gonna be great as long as the survivor fanboys out there don't bitch about how the new infected create a completely unpredictable game experience that they can't pattern out. The Charger is ruthless and fast, the jockey is small and annoying and the spitter is another great long range infected like the smoker.

If that happens and the new infected get nerfed in anyway then this game will be broken in versus IMO much like how the original has its problems in versus.

On top of that the event in the demo thankfully eliminates corner camping bull shit forcing everyone to move which is a nice bonus. Hopefully all the campaigns and events stick to that formula.

The melee weapons im half and half on. I think most people will probably end up not using them more often than not.

[DMHead777]

Are you guys getting it for xbox live or pc? Cause I wouldn't mind playing with you guys. Would be pretty sick.

[FeindMummy]

xbox live...

[FrighT MasteR]

Anyone play the demo yet? F'n kicks ass! The new melee weapons are hella fun and loved how they improved big time on the graphics. Really detailed, especially the gore :fapper:

Best Buy Black Friday Deals Leaked
Mega-retailer to offer netbooks for under $200, Fallout 3 for $20, and more.
by Chris Iaquinta

November 13, 2009 - Black Friday is fast approaching, unfortunately this year we haven't seen too many spectacular deals from the ads that have leaked out thus far, perhaps because retailers have already been implementing discounted pricing throughout 2009 to accommodate for the recession. Thankfully, info on what Best Buy will be offering on one of the best tech shopping days of the year show that there is still some hope for all us geeks out there.

As expected, televisions are the category that is seeing some of the biggest discounts, such as a Dynex 32" 720 LCD HDTV for $299.99 and a Dynex 40" 1080p LCD HDTV for just $499.99. If you want to go for more of a brand name, Samsung is offering a cheap 32" 720p LCD HDTV of their own for $397.99 and a larger 50" set with 1080p for $897.99.

A few excellent computer packages are also to be found, including a Compaq Netbook w/Intel Atom Processor for just $179.99, and a eMachines Desktop with AMD Athlon Processor, 3GB memory, 320GB hard drive and 18.5" monitor for $299.97. It looks like you won't get Mac deals as cheap as PCs, but there will be a 13.3" Macbook with 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB DDRS memory and a $250GB hard drive for $999.99.

Some other notable deals include a Insignia Blu-ray player for $99.99, Garmin Nuvi 205W GPS system for $99.99, and Left 4 Dead 2 for both PS3 and Xbox 360 for just $34.99. Many of these bargains have been labeled as "doorbuster" items, which means there will be a very limited inventory of those particular products when the doors open on Black Friday.

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

It's definitely a misprint, no news on that at all

[FrighT MasteR]

Pretty annoyed dat I got the game off steam, yet I can't play it cuz the servers are too F'n busy to "handle my request" :mad:

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

Is that offline?

[ReD]

Haven't touched versus yet but I love the new campaigns. Much more challenging, much more versatile. I get a kick out of some of the commandos out there that think on release day, people should be able to own all the campaigns with the way their structured on expert.

Its obvious now that one guy going Rambo with a shotty won't work and for that I thank Valve.

Give it two weeks though, all the bitching being done about the new infected being too strong will probably end up being a nerf for them for versus/campaigns.

[Gatsu18]

They game looks alright but not enough to warrant paying full price for it just yet.

[FrighT MasteR]

Well I'd comment on the game, but F'n steam didn't let me play it yesterday, F'n servers :shakefist:

[Halcon Loco]

I'm liking it better than the first one, I love these levels better than the one in the first.

[FeindMummy]

I like them, I like that the zombies are different and that they got the uncommon infected ones but I still have to try it out on Live... I have blown through all of them and I wish that the levels changed up some.

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

That actually does work for me at least, not shotgun though, whenever my team never moves and usually stay in one damn area :mad:

[FrighT MasteR]

Finally got to play a little earlier -- really diggin' it. Got to use da katana, but not the chainsaw yet :whew2:

I like how the stages seem a little more challenging than from the previous game, and I especially like the more chaotic atmosphere towards the end of each level

[strtfghtr]

new melee weapons are sweet...a nice addition

[ReD]

In a sense, you still have to move. Cornering up even on Expert is a recipe for disaster.

The new special infected make sure of that. The Charger can incap a whole team if their holding hands in a corner and the Spitter at the very least causes massive splash damage for 4 people cornering up until they jump out.

The Jockey can take down an entire team once Melee-ed away from the person its attacking.

[NIZ08]

Is it me are people on the 360 less tolerant of using teamwork in L4D2? Can't even play realism or even any other difficulty without people not talking or wondering off by themselves.

[ReD]

Nah its regardless of console/PC.

Everybody has their own play style and then you just have dumbass morons who are not in it to actually contribute but do what they want and then rage quit or be kicked or team kill.

Some people play conservative at a slow pace in hope of reducing friendly fire and excess damage. Some people try to keep a consistent pace to reduce having to deal with hordes and respawning of special infected.

Some people try to rambo rush on any difficulty and you can get away with it on the easier difficulties but not on advanced or expert in either campaign or realism mode when you take anywhere 5% and 20% damage per hit from common infected.

[strtfghtr]

anyone else getting some crappy laggy games on the 360? Seems much more rampant than on the original

[ReD]

I know the servers on the PC version have taken a lot of heat for being laggy much more so than the first game. I've only seen it a handful of times though and that's even with 8 vs 8 modded servers.

Mega DLC around spring time.

'The Passing'

http://steamcommunity.com/games/L4D2/announcements/detail/54206515194841693

Dubbed "The Passing," the first game add-on for L4D2 brings the original Left 4 Dead (L4D1) Survivors down south for a meeting with the L4D2 cast, while delivering new single-player, multiplayer and co-operative gameplay.

Targeted for release in early spring, "The Passing" takes place just after the Dead Center campaign of L4D2. Set in a small town in rural Georgia, players assume the role of the L4D2 Survivors as they meet with the L4D1 characters.

In addition to the new co-operative campaign and associated narrative, "The Passing" will include new arenas for Survival, Versus and Scavenge mode and introduce a new co-operative challenge mode of play. The Passing will also include a new "uncommon common" zombie class, melee weapon, and firearm.

"The Passing will become the most important campaign in the Left 4 Dead story, as all the Survivors are being called together in one campaign," said Doug Lombardi, VP of marketing at Valve. "It will also be a huge offering of new gameplay content, with something new for every game mode plus a new uncommon common and weaponry."

The big question will be...

Can we play as the old survivors or will they simply just be involved in story passing form. The article blurs that line and implies LD42 characters playable only. I doubt Valve will make that mistake though.

[strtfghtr]

you beat me to it red...this sounds AWESOME!!! Can't wait for this DLC

In the first two months of Left 4 Dead 2's release, 28,981,249,043 zombies have been shot, bludgeoned, chainsawed and killed — or, for our younger readers, taken to a farm where they can frolic and shuffle around forever.

You read that correctly: 28 BILLION. To put that number in perspective:

* The entire population of the planet has been zombified and killed 4.26 times.

* With the average height of a zombie being 6 feet, if you stacked them end to end they would circle the globe 1,322 times.

* If you placed 28,981,249,043 rulers end to end, they would reach 28,981,249,043 feet in the sky.

In short: That is a bucketload of dead zombies. Nice job, everyone.

if they come out with a LFD3 they need one that takes place in a zoo. That'd be cool.

[FrighT MasteR]

I need to start playing again :nervouswreck:

I'd bet on L4D3 taking place either in LA or possibly following off some sort of nonsensical adventure with the Midnight Riders whom are pretty popular in L4D2.

As far as some tidbits on the game. I love the new update they put out recently for bot infected for versus and for manual ghost spawns on finales. Especially the second part of that which was long overdue.

Still a campaign finale like Dark Carnival needs some work. No ladder on the corner that survivor teams usually camp and the back area up top that you should be able to spawn in which you can't if survivors stand in front of the gate. Even though there is plenty of space in the back area to warrant spawning.

Melee on Tank damage decreased from 10% to 5% and it seems better on normal versus but very little difference is noticed on the 8v8 servers I play on. A good tank player ends up equating to hiding, throwing rocks and letting the rest of the specials do the work. Especially on a campaign like Dark Carnival, hit up the concert roof and let them do damage.

as soon as I was playing LFD1 I thought man it would be cool if weather was a factor in these games, then came the hurrican level in part 2. Soooo fun. Need some stuff like that, maybe something taking place in the snow or during an earthquake. yeah earthquake would be fun as hell.

Yeah, tank moments freeze it to a point where survivors are stuck and infected have more time to do stuff.

Still the best tanks are those who first kill time, and leave the other specials to cause a ruckus and break the concentration of the survivors. And then attack all the survivors which arent pinned by other specials.

I remember in hospital 3rd level in L4D, Tank spawned right after the elevator, and survivors went behind it to shoot the tank before it could crouch inside the same room.

I was the tank that time, and I was just harassing them, seeming like I was coming from another hole, and then quickly going to the next. When they were trying to shoot me, none of them really guarded against other special infected.

So when hunter and smoker struck two survivors down, other 2 were distracted enough for me to get inside unnoticed and kill all 4 of them.

Bit of random news on the DLC for L4D2 and a DLC for L4D1.

Only a small snippet of actual news in there but to summarize it for those who don't want to watch the whole video.

It appears one survivor from L4D1 will be killed off by user choice in the new L4D1 DLC and with the DLC for L4D2 you only run into 3 of them from what it seems. Also the witch will have a new wedding dress skin among an M60, a new melee weapon being the golf club and other things.

new modes in the new dlc

[beyond]

can't wait for the DLC.

[FrighT MasteR]

DLC is said to be hitting 360 and PC on April 22nd. :fapper::fapper2:

[ReD]

Cannot wait for the Passing to come out today.

So tired of versus being centered around Dead Center. Everytime I get on its about Dead Center having about 30 games going at a time while everything else has about 5 or 6 at most.

On the other hand Realism Versus should be a real treat. All those nerds that run ahead won't be seen anymore unless they all rush. This mode will make a lot of players look bad me included. Like others have said the Jockey should become really useful in Realism Versus since he can literally take people away from line of sight without seeing an outline.

I do like the Mutation idea they have in place which more or less amounts to different gamemodes all the time though hopefully after a while they just decide to keep them instead of having to vote on them. Either way people will likely put those modes in their servers so they should stick around anyway.

New DLC comes out on October 5th:

Haven't been playing the game for a while, but I'll be playing again when it comes out if anyone wants to join up :coolburns:

[Revenant]

:rock:

[Lemmywinks]

Already have my points can't wait for this.

[ReD]

This franchise kinda has me on the ropes at the moment. On one hand I can't wait for the DLC because of the modded community servers and they will be able to do with it as well as just playing with friends but other than that. I dunno if its just me but I feel like the L4D community as a whole is a giant cesspool of crybabies and just in general douches out there right now.

[IKickAssForTheLord]

Yeah found out 'bout this yesterday... Can't Wait :rock:

[FrighT MasteR]

You and I and Rev need to get together again and keel sum zombies :coolburns:

[Revenant]
