The Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 Clubhouse!

[Widjaja]

I have played this game the grand total of 54hrs and have had it for months now.
It has one of the crappiest communities I have ever come across.

Always someone leaving people behind kill whoring, who leaves when they die and blame their death on other players.

People taking versus matches far too seriously.

that's the main reason i stopped playing.
L4D 1&2 are pretty much over with. unless you have a group of friends you work well with, multiplayer is pointless.

Fortunately a week or so later Killing Floor was in the Mid-week madness sale.
Sure it's not as graphically impressive as L4D2 but the fun I have had in Killing Floor with people online far surpasses L4D2.

I recommend Killing Floor over Left 4 Dead 2 any day for multiplayer.

I have both and I agree.
L4D/2 - Great with friends.
KF - Great all around.

Any word on a possible Left 4 Dead 3?

 

[Widjaja]

I don't know if there will be one for a while since they just released a 540mb update for Left 4 Dead 2.

Spea of which I should just remove it as I don't play it.
I don't know enough people to play it and I can not play VS due to NEEDING to be good at it from the start or people cry out in pain for doing something they didn't like.

 

[Super XP]

I may not be the best but I stand my ground. You should continue to play it, don't worry about the crying. Though I would try Single Player on Expert difficulty.

I've gone on to Tribes: Ascend
Been lot of fun for the most part so far.
Although it appears some people get really hurt when they are losing and make sure everyone knows about it through chat.

But it can be funny when two newbies who think they are hot shots decide to make it personal and fight it out in mid field.

 

[Super XP]

Yes agreed. There's also many more that consistently tell you what to do or else they try to kick you off. All the BS aside, till this day I still continue to play L4D2 because it's super fun.

If you still have the game installed, look me up "Doctor Who". We can play some Versus or something together. I like knowing somebody because it prevents the other players from kicking you off.

I caused the most damage to the survivors in one game, but messed up a Boom attack opportunity, and the A-Holes kicked me off for that, despite the fact I was one of the stronger players lol. You will always run into jack arises.

Left 4 Dead 3 in the works...

Left 4 Dead 3 in the works and may come sooner than we think...
QUOTE:

More than two years has already passed since the inception of Left 4 Dead 2, and here we are, still trying to figure out when will Valve unleash a sequel for its highly contagious title; that brought marvels on the horror-survival gaming community way back from L4D1 on 2008.

Nostalgia set aside, it’s clear there’s only a limited set of clues that suggest Valve is planning to reveal Left 4 Dead 3. Nevertheless, that didn’t prevent publishing supervisors from X360 Mag UK (Issue 84) to unleash their wishlist for the FPS title.

Under its foresight section, the magazine expects Valve will try to add more spice on L4D3 by directing its storyline on a “narrative” direction similar with Half Life 2, using the elements of the past two L4D titles to create a “deeper story arc” tackling about the consequences for each survivor. For its weapons and skills, it’s hoped that there’ll be a set of new arsenals including rocket launcher, flamethrower, etc. in which your skills will be based on the type of character you’re playing. To give our own example, that would be Team Fortress style in which your character has specialty on a particular weapon; although it wouldn’t hurt if Valve will add another twist like matching a gun based on the personality of your character, so if you’ll constantly use it, you’ll gain perks and other bonuses.

The last two eye-candies mentioned are about an expanded AI director having the ability to change levels, manipulate map elements and change the components between sets to make your playthrough more distinct. And of course, new characters, which is kind of obvious since the past two L4D titles always brought another batch of fresh faces inside the pack.

More or less the wishlist above is similar with the ones we’ve heard adding more emphasis and depth with each of L4D3’s characters along their environment. Interestingly, there’s a discussion from Steam suggesting E3 is the hypothetical event if Valve will hint something nice for the horror-survival franchise.

unique weapons per character will never happen, because everyone will just fight over getting their favourite. as it stands it works, because any char can use any weapon.

 

[Super XP]

I agree unique weapons per character is not a good idea. What I would like to see is a double barrel shotgun, the one used in one of the DOOM games, where two shells shoot out at the same time causing crazy damage.

There is a lot Valve can do, so long as they don't deviate away from the L4D formula which made it so popular.

Oh, woopy a left 4 dead 3 coming hopefully Who's on tonight.

Official Left 4 Dead Movie Trailer? Is this for real?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DehTfnzqDDg&feature=BFa&list=ULRMKAXr9vDPY

If they are making a movie based on Left 4 Dead, it better he a high end movie, such as Iron Man or something.

 

[erocker]

Naw, it is a part of an ongoing web series made by fans. I can only wish for a high budget "Hollywood" version.

Aww I see. Anyhow if Valve was ever to get involved in making a L4D film, I can see Universal Studios doing the honours.

 

[nt300]

That movie is a fake.

Why is Steam and/or Valve sucking as of late? Nobody can use a Secure or Dedicated server for some reason, so we are all stuck with hosing a local server. Anybody know what's going on with Left 4 Dead 2?

Also I was getting that Vac Secure Server, you must remove plug-ins before you can connect. This bloody error message drives me nuts, but I fixed the problem. Had to go into Steam and create a Desktop Short Cut of L4D2 now it does not have that error anymore.

I agree with you 1000%. I also hate people telling you how to play the game. And if you do not listen to him, he tries to kick you off. Anyhow I still find this game most fun with down to earth people.

Anyhow what on earth is going on with the Valve servers? It's very difficult to log into one. Many are forced to go local server for the past week.

I've heard about three rumors explaining why.
1) Valve is shutting down there servers
2) Valve is in the process of upgrading it's servers
3) Valve is preparing to launch Left 4 Dead 3 which is why they are doing a massive server upgrade.

Pick One I like #3

This sounds so fucking stupid. TF style oh god I'd kill myself. Better graphics more guns different state. Change nothing else.

I agree 100%. They need to stick to the original formula. Valve made a killing in sales for both 1 & 2, but almost double the sales for part 2 over the 1st one. Surely the 3rd should outperform both in sales and popularity.

 

[D007]

Game is so f'd right now.. You can only play if someone owns a server, on their private server or when you host local. Dedicated servers have been down for like a week now I think.. Valve greenlight = everything else gets crapped on apparently..

 

[uco73]

I love L4D and L4D2 and I play this games every day (on STEAM ofc). My favorite map is Silent Hill. 12 chapters total, but 9 dark chapters. If anybody want to play with me Silent Hill, find me on STEAM. Same nick, same avatar as here.

 

[stinger608]

Long forgotten thread that I think should be revisited.

Hell, I still play both of these awesome games and I'm sure a ton of members still do as well.

So, bump.
