[Darknova]

Thanks......So I can buy and download off steam?

Yup, or you can buy it retail, whichever way is easiest

 

[Mussels]

"single-player mode" which I think is stupid for a purely team-based game

at a lan, i saw someone connect to an SP game via the console... the 'host' was very confused.

Game tonite? I am hosting a death aboard game at 8:30 est, my steam is Đ@rkΣgo.
EDIT: I get 4 mbps uploads so Europe players would be fine.

sorry i coulnt make it, ego. i should be able to play tonight. i am thinking about making an insanity 4v4 mod. essentially a tank every level and a powerful witch every level. no additional medpacs and larger zombie mobs. survivors would get some added ammo and the ability to crawl when incapped. the point is to make it as far as possible and to have short tight games.

Computer is down untill I get my new case in I can't run it off my MoBo box either because I have to redo the whole LC system to fit in my new case and I need the case for measurements.

you guys wanna play later once steam stops being fail?

Beginning at 6:00 pm Pacific time Thursday August 6th, we will be performing software maintenance on some Steam servers. We expect the resulting downtime to last three hours at most, putting the end of the window at 9:00 pm Pacific time.

Some Steam services will be offline during this time. Affected services will include the Steam Community, in-game matchmaking or lobbies, downloading games from Steam content servers, and making purchases from the Steam store. Games that do not rely on Steam matchmaking services should remain playable.

News updates and any further information will be posted in this space.

We will work to make this downtime as short as possible. Thank you for your patience!


lol.. I be a Steam worker yo! So, we should be able to run L4D around Midnight... I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow or I'd be jumping for it! Get some Mailman action going! lol

 

[Snake05]

Seems to be back up and running...I wish so badly I didn't have a long test in the morning so I could play some more...

 

[Easy Rhino]

indeed, but everyone is offline.

 

[ShadowFold]

Not up for me yet.

 

[Snake05]

I was quick to assume it was all up. It seems the Friends utility is up, but the entire community feature is still under maintenance.

 

[Easy Rhino]

let's do it to it tonight. who is in?

 

[erocker]

Me.

 

[Cold Storm]

I might if I don't pass out before then.. I could do it all night on Sunday.. lol

 

[erocker]

Starting a lobby now.

 

[TheMailMan78]

Erocker rapped me in the safe room. I never say "My team sucks" when I get fragged but I gotta say that one time my team SUCKED. I mean WTF I get into a server turn to grab an M16 and get surprise butt sex from Erocker!

just played against a team of people who were using the hunter exploit the entire game. we were getting our asses handed to us and i finally caught one of the guys in the act. so i called him out on it and they got all defensive and called us noobs and all sorts of names. anyway, this is a video of the exploit. it is a massive cheat IMO as it gives infected a very large advantage. it makes hunters move as fast as survirors when crouched and it instantly jumps on the survivors when you run into them.

Uh huh, I agree, however, having used it myself there is a MASSIVE disadvantage to using it.

1. Hunters can't pounce as high, or as long using the exploit. (no 25 pounces etc.)
2. Once you have pounced, if you miss, you are screwed, you have to try and run away, or charge up your pounce.

Also, when they use the exploit they don't growl, so they can get in behind you and scratch you (which using our server mod is very effective).

We always call people out on it when we see them using it, if they get defensive they get kicked from the server, it's that simple.

It's a pain in the arse, but it's not an "almighty tactic".

true but these guys were pros at using it. they would get three hunters and pounce us all at once. obviously that is the strategy to use but it is 1000 times easier using the exploit than doing it normally because we couldnt hear them and they were harder to shoot because the were crouch running and running fast.

Meh, "pro" L4D players piss me off tbh. They all use the "4 hunter" tactic, basically they only send smokers and boomers in to attack, and keep their hunters away from the battle until they get 4 hunters, then all pounce in and win.

Pathetic if you ask me, it's why my clan hasn't entered any leagues yet. We want fun, not a "who can get 4 hunters first" match.
