lol, really. I always hear stuff from the zombies. But the most is "RUN".

I used Fraps to video my L4D game but the file is 3.9GB big. Any way to make it a smaller file?

Sony Vegas Pro 8 or SUPER.

Nice find.

 

[Super XP]

Awesome thanks. What do you think this is?
Critic's Choice Edition of Left 4 Dead

I like the way Valve is taking care of the people that bought and play L4D. I feel everybody will make the game last for a very long time so long as we have crazy, innovative and unique custom maps to play and enjoy. For now Long Live L4D!!!

critics choice is a copy with all the new stuff added in, to convince people with slow net to buy it.

It will also be the name they use on the console version, to make people buy it with the extras

O.K. thanks for the info.
Can't wait for the Source Software Development Kit (SSDK). It's going to be fun,

 

[Chryonn]

yeah, me either. this might be the SDK that makes me fully complete a map/campaign.

 

[Castiel]

Still looking for people to help out on the Map team!

I could give a hand if you want. Have gd ideas and imagination and have experience in the gfx area for the behind scene stuff.

Can code but only a little.

I've already got two levels mapped out in google sketchup. Just need someone who knows how to make maps. Download Xfire and add me(profile in sig, Shadowfold) if you are insterested in helping me with this. I won't be on for a few more hours since I gotta wait for UPS to drop my new DK790GX off

Sweet.

I'm working on some designs for a map, just ideas, and I will start sketching them out and send them to you to get your opinion.

I was testing out L4D in single player and found out that the AI turns stupid in Expert Mode when you compare to Advance or Normal. Is this Valve's way of making the Expert Mode harder? If so its stupid

expert mode has lower weapon accuracy, less intelligent AI companions, higher friendly fire damage, and increased Boss infected health.

Well shouldn't Expert Mode also make the AI better? Shot accuracy shouldn’t change at all. I don’t mind the game being much harder, but Valve shouldn’t limit our abilities by cheating.

I went from being a sharp shooter to a hit and miss with Expert Mode.
I've cleared every level in Expert Mode except for 3 of the last levels of the campaigns. The level with the fishing boat I cleared on Expert Mode though I was the only survivor because the blasted AI was running toward the horde of zombies instead of following me into the boat.

It's frustrating and fun at the same time when playing Expert Mode. Advance Mode is still very challenging but Expert is just crazy hard which I like.

Do you use pills often.....? I don't.

Did I tell you guys that I seen a Hunter while working the night shift. It appeared then disappeared.

common logic dictates that on higher difficulties the AI would be sharper and more "intelligent". however we're talking about companion AI, and it follows that they should be dumber on higher settings to give the human player a challenge. i've never touched the single player game so i can't comment on the weapon accuracy on different difficulties. i always crouch anyway, and fire in short bursts/one shots.

Hey Left 4 Dead DLC is Free for both 360 and PC! Sweet!

If you play the same way in online Multi-Player for Single Player Expert then you will not survive long because its sort of like you are alone. Advance Mode is sort of balanced. But Expert the AI is just way too stupid. They even stand there sometimes while Zombies are attacking them. It may be a bug or something, but to only stand there and do nothing?

 

[Chryonn]

my point was that you're meant to be more alone. on Easy i'd think the AI would be very strong and thus able to defeat the hordes easily. on Expert, the AI is dumbed down to give the human player more challenge

Yes I understand but the way it’s implemented in the Expert Mode is like its buggy because a lot of the time one or two of the AI survivors just stand there while they are getting beat up by Zombies. At least have them defend each other and themselves. This doesn’t happen all the time but it does happen more often than not.
After testing the game on Expert Mode, I came to the conclusion that it’s a bug and not synthetically implemented by Valve. Well, this is what I am hoping. I still very much find SP on Expert fun & challenging. Hope Valve resolves the bug issues. Many of us still value SP very much.
