The NPCs get all the good hats.

Played a game with Mesias today. Was fun, even if we were all bad at teamwork. Don't let him fool you, he totally has a mic.

>>80430
Hey!
I told you at the moment that I had it somewhere around my room and I just founded it around the 3rd part. And anyways, I kinda suck at talking in english.
But yeah, fun times indeed.

>>80441
Eh wasn't that bad, you just have a strong accent.

But yeah maybe next time we don't play Expert mode...

>>80465
Yeah, people always tell me that I sound like a colombian or nicaraguan, or something like that.
I don't know why expert mode makes almost anyone bad at team working most of the time.

So.

Me and my friends were playing Dark Carnival, and we had gotten to the part where you slide down the cliff edge after leaving the motel area. Unfortunately, Coach got ambushed by a horde and was incapacitated somewhere in the middle of the ledge, while the rest of us had already slid down to the bottom. So there was no way to get to him. And we were pissed because Coach was kicking ass and taking names like no other.

To make matters worse, a Smoker grabbed Ellis and started dragging him along. We fired aimlessly until we noticed the Smoker was at the top of the cliff.

So we waited until Ellis hit the top, killed the Smoker, and then let him slide down to revive Coach.

Then we thanked the Smoker's corpse for its help.

And that's why this game sucks.

>>80532
Haha, happy accidents are the best.

>>80547
>And that's why this game sucks.

You know, you CAN vote to kick people. It's under the menu in-game.

Tried out Last Man on Earth mode (lol last day).

Oh god.

This mode reminds me of two things:

1) I'm not as good at this game as I'd like to be, especially when holy shit dodging a smoker, a hunter, and a jockey at the same time by myself with a magnum that I don't have time to reload and an empty shotgun.

2) Crippling depression.

Seriously, not having the common infected around makes the game....seriously creepy, and kinda depressing to play.

>>80156
The Engie update will be shipped as Team Fortress 2: Episode Three.
It will give Engie a crowbar and a gravity gun.

>>81403
Just got done playing LMoE myself.

Hearing Ellis' bird cries was kind of depressing, yeah. But really, my primary feeling was SHEER PARANOIA.

WHAT WAS THAT SOUND? HUNTER? CHARGER? SMOKER? OH FUCK OH FUCK THERE'S PROBABLY A SMOKER BEHIND THIS CORNER.

>>81463
Yeah, also that.

If the mode didn't have Smokers in it I would be oh so fine. But the fact that the Smoker could appear anywhere, from any angle, and ninja me with his face while I'm distracted scares the crap out of me. I can handle anything else, but fuck smokers.

Also why am I the only one that hasn't come across a Boomer? I played an entire campaign without boomers, and I've been watching the gameplay vids in the forums and tons of them have boomers in them.

>>81502

I thought LMoE was special infected only?

If there's no horde or common, why bother putting the Boomer in there? Other than hilarious Director failure?

>>81503
If it sneaks up on you, it still obscures your vision for a precious few seconds. Try fighting off three other special infected by yourself when you can barely see.

  I played just once LMoE, and didn't dig it as I expected.
But it was a pretty interesting take.
I'm liking so far winner videos and honorable mentions of the blog contest.

This F!S.

Why the "!" ?

Seems sorta dumb

Fandom EXCLAMATION MARK Secret

Like seriously

>>81935
From what I understand, it's a Livejournal thing. I think it's used to differentiate between versions of a character in roleplaying or something. Like, Goku and Kid!Goku.

Don't quote me on it, I'm probably wrong. Either way, I think it's weird too.

>>81944

It actually stretches even earlier to fanfiction.

The exclamation point was so people would actually pay attention to the kind of fic the reader was in for, since most people seem to read fanfiction without any idea of whose getting paired up or what's actually happening in it.

You'd have stuff like Dark!Fic and Kid!Fic.

It's supposed to be so people don't complain, but it never works. It hasn't really stopped it from catching on in fandom, though.

>Added a 25 point scoring penalty for using a Defibrillator.

>Scaled dynamic Defibrillators based on map length with a maximum of 1 per map.

>Removed dynamic Pill conversion to First Aid Kits.

>Removed Explosive Ammunition.

Not sure if want.

>Increased Jockey damage per second.

>Removed Jockey’s damage delay.

About time!

If you haven't tried "Survival VS" yet? Try it. It's the most fun version of VS ever.

>>85346
Anything times zero is still zero, though.

>>85428
errr what?

>>85565
He's implying versus mode is zero fun. Which isn't true, it's just the least fun version of versus mode.

  Four Swordsmen is a lot of fun. I played with my roommate and his buddies so with a good team it isn't all that hard, but if your guys aren't on the ball then the fact that there are four special infected around at ALL TIMES really knocks you off your ass.

Also unrelated video.

Interesting news, specially about new DLC.

>Left 4 Dead prequel comic
>New DLC is called The Sacrifice
>L4D survivors with weapons of of L4D2

>>90631
Man... I STILL don't want Bill to be dead. It makes me so sad...

>>90632
He'll be replaced with a grandma version of himself.

>>90631
>>L4D survivors with weapons of of L4D2

Dangit. And I just uninstalled L4D2. Depending how the DLC works, I might just reinstall L4D1 if they're 'revamping' it.

>>90730
No, the way it works is both L4D1 and 2 get The Sacrifice. And you play as the L4D1 characters in both. But, if you play it in L4D2, you get all the benefits of the new weapons and items. L4D1 will play as it always did. And L4D2 gets No Mercy as an additional bonus. Which I hope leads to the rest of the first game's maps being brought over.

The Sacrifice comic will be released this next tuesday.
Yeah!!!!!!!!

Three...

It took three goddamn tanks to bring the Old Man down!

First comic!

Fuck year Bill. ;___;

I forgot how much I love those guys (and a girl).

Is it just me, or did the guys art get a LOT better in this? His previous work with TF2 kinda made me hate it, but its rocking this time around.

Smart start focusing with probably the biggest bit of L4D controversy, too.

The Zoey chapter is up. Poor Zoey...

Whiskey Delta = Walking Dead

Tango Mike = ????

>>94350
Typhoid Mary

And then this all leads to the announcement of... Left 4 Dead 3.

>>94352
That's fine with me. I've got over 300 hours in 1 and 2. It's less than 16 cents per hour of enjoyment (at $50 per.) That's a huge value, I think.

>>93277
I think the artist's style is better suited to L4D. It's gritty.

God damn special infected have the gayest AI programming ever.

If everyone is red they dont even bother to use their abilities, they just run up and slap you with their stupid little melee attacks.

I've lost track of being right next to the saferoom door with my whole team being red for a single charger or jockey to pop out of nowhere and land 4 melee hits in less than a second to down the whole team.

Also the number of times a hunter will pounce on someone and magically claw the person who shoves it off. Literally the very moment you shove the thing off your team mate you get clawed.

Seriously, Expert mode would be 4 times easier if the special infected didnt use such cheap tactics which would NEVER work so effectively in versus.
