I need to get someone to try that with me. Anyone up for some pre-emptive L4D2 versus?

I'm down

[KarthXLR]

bah, gonna give the demo one last chance. If I still don't like it, I'm probably going to be lonely when I'm the only one who didn't buy it.

I'm probably not buying it till a good price drop.  I'll be playing Modern Warfare 2 for awhile anyways and I've been back playing CoD4 on the PC along with TF2.

[/quote]So? PC version is just as hated universally anyway. I'm buying 360 version because I'd rather play with my friends on 360 rather than go on PC, join a game and everyone is still talking about dedicated servers.

Its more about supporting a developer that acts like IW has recently, if you support it the trend will continue. The only thing that makes me more enraged are micropayments (see oblivion horse armor), but thankfully the fervor over that has mostly left more "serious" games and is relegated to things like SOE's Free Realms.

Imagine if Valve made you pay $5 for every content pack that came out, $1 for every hat....yea....


We should keep the bitching to the IW thread though, this one is for bitching about l4d2  :-*

Also please take what I say with a grain of salt, if you enjoy the game(s) buy them, and relegate my rants to that of just a bitter old gamer

I miss bill.

Thing that is still terrible: Matchmaking system. God this thing is still bad. There are so many crappy vanilla servers. Most here are by valve too.

[Maxon]

I thought all the flak the first time around would've just dropped the matchmaking system.  Server browsers work.

What are all the weapons people have found in the demo?  I was kinda curious if a few more playthroughs could bring out something I haven't used yet...

Pistol
Machete
Frying Pan
Electric Guitar
Nightstick
Pipe Bomb
Boomer Bile
Molotov
Chrome Shotgun
Auto-Shotty
Uzi
Silenced Uzi
M16
AK47
Hunting Rifle
Auto-Sniper

[zaneyard]

wait, so people actually still play the game with randoms?
there's your problem

Is Boomer Bile an actual weapon? And also... I wonder if there's a non-chrome shotgun, and if there's any difference between the 2.

Matchmaking is the mandatory system, friends or not. And it still can't find servers that are halfway good.

God, this server setup needs some SERIOUS polishing.


Edit: After the second playthrough, I'm more frustrated with servers than anything. I'm still not fond of the new characters, new guns are meh, new music is meh, new zombies are meh. This is not high on my things to get list.

If Boomer Bile does what I think it might do, it could be used to draw zombies to attack the tougher zombies.  I can't see it just drawing zombies when it hits the ground and that is it.  Pretty much just a pipe bomb without the boom then.

[zaneyard]

the boomer bile attracts zombies !!
if you cover it on zombies
zombies attack zombies
if you cover it on tank
zombies attack tank

also, matchmaking is used to make matches
we have a community that has a good enough amount of people to fill up a versus match
more servers will go up when the game comes out?

This is kind of neat. If the charger gets you in a place with a low ceiling, he will throw you at the ceiling in addition to pounding your face into the ground.

Charger Smash

[Maxon]

Found the Desert Eagle, which could be confused with a normal pistol if you aren't paying attention.  They call it the "Magnum Pistol".  It's pretty awesome if it does seem to lack alittle some of the accuracy, but it's one hit kill on normal zombies.  Touch choice between that and a melee weapon, though seems better to me than all the other melees aside from machete which is just so satisfying.

Also got the defibrillator, though on this last playthrough, no one died till the very end and I had just closed the door when I realized it lol

Where was that picture taken, Squishy?  Or is it a joke or something having them there or Easter Egg? IT CONFUSES ME!
