Neonie you have to go to this.

You know this game really is a lot of fun. It still feels light on content though.....

I live kinda near Fort Worth too Turtle... but look at the dates, unless it means next year, it happened before the game was released, meaning it's all a joke.

Sadly, same. Plus, I can never get a friggin' group together to play the thing. They're always offline or busy or some crap like that. :/

A friend of mine from my WoW days needed a fourth for clan play last night. Why he assumed that WoW skills would somehow translate into Zombie-killing skills I have no idea.

Organized play is totally different. The focus is changed, how you utilize the infected is completely different, and the rage levels are unbelievable. Things I observed:

Survivors: Run. Every map, every time, just sprint the whole way. If you don’t know the map like the back of your hand just leave the match. Use items immediately. Find a pipe? Just throw it at the nearest group of infected and keep moving. Smoker misses? Keep running, let him catch up, don’t track him down and kill him. For scavenge, work in teams. Cover each other, call out locations. If a charger misses you, and you don’t get the kill, you better be screaming “Charger missing” into your mic so the other group doesn’t get combo-pulled by a charger/jockey charger/hunter. Don’t stop moving.

Infected: Instead of thinking “this doorway is a choke point, we should wait on the other side” look for ledges. Using a jockey to pull a survivor over the edge, smoke pull, or charger is going to incap instantly. We pulled a full team incap off in about sixty seconds on Dead Center. The smoker can spawn on the ledge beneath the first ledge the survivors run out on. They broke out into teams of two, and the first team I smoke pulled one with the other was charged off. Double incap, other group came over for the rescue, double incap, rage.

I can’t say I did very much, and I was certainly the weakest link. I’ve had the game for less than a week. I’m clearly still pretty terrible, but it was fun to see what the more competitive side of the game is like.

this strategy almost never works unless you have a very coordinated team, if you ever try this in a pub match you'll die almost on the first map. It always seems like the best way to go but it's better to finish with pretty low health and no kits together than dying off 1 by 1 because some people can't keep up

I’m in total agreement with you, but the whole underlying premise to what I said was that we were a very coordinated team. I was just attempting to highlight the difference between scrim play and pubstomping, not really offer tips to newer players.

Ok. In a pub match if they take way to long just start rushing, sometimes they will follow you, other times they will watch you run away, and every so often theyll start shooting you ;-;

Not sure if this has been posted before, and wasn't really sure where to post it, SO HERE, TAKE THIS!

Valve nerfed a few of the old classes in versus.

I'm pretty sure Boomer makes your vision much worse than in L4D1 as a trade off to how much harder he is to use in L4D2's open levels. Hunter and smoker feel the same. If anything, I'd say they just made the survivors better. Shiny better weapons, melee stuffs, adrenaline, defibrillators...
