Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike, CoD4, NS... none of them have been as bad as I saw this weekend. I bought the game when it was 50% off on steam, and I swear to god it feels like if there's a single mishap then half of your team vanishes almost instantly. One guy mis-threw a molotov while we were in a corner fighting off the horde, and before the flames even died out someone else had already quit out.

Everything I've heard about playing with the "community" is basically what you described
A friend of mine spawned a crapload of hunters at the top of the elevator in No Mercy at one point and raped a team of four using AI controlled hunters. It was glorious.

nem-x impressed everyone with:
You know, that's the first game that made me actually consider buying a 360.
code:General
Fixed Survivors being able to climb surfaces marked for versus infected onlyFixed a class of SurvivorBot bugs dealing with rescuing downed players
Players can no longer grab ladders while flying through the air after a Tank punch
Shooting near a car with an alarm that has already fired the alarm will no longer make chirping noises
Improved loading time
Fixed mini-gun physics exploit
Fixed propane tanks (and other physics objects) causing players to fall through elevators
Fixed rare achievement bug issues
Fixed several map exploits
Fixed various match making issues
Fixed NAT traversal issues
Versus ChangesAdded HUD elements to show status of other infected players
Changed color of infected player name in chat to red
Fixed exploit where players could spawn infected bots
Fixed instance where a Survivor changing to the infected team would be attacked by infected bots
Normalized special infected melee damage
Made the following client commands cheat protected: "Kill" and "explode"
Fixed exploit where infected players could run away and teleport back to gain health
Players can only change teams once per map
Players can't change teams while other players are still loading
Tank spawns at the same % through the map for both teams in versus mode
Made the Tank and Witch spawn directly on the escape route
Increased chance of getting the Tank or Witch
Fixed team swap issue
HunterEasier to pounce a Survivor who is meleeing
Increased Minimum damage a Hunter pounce does
SmokerFixed Smoker tongue tolerance
Smoker now has to be killed or the tongue destroyed for the tongue to break
Survivors cannot bash someone off the tongue until the Survivor being pulled is paralyzed or hanging
Tongue attacks that fail to paralyze or hang a Survivor will use the shorter ability delay timer
Fixed cases where the ability timer was not using the correct time
Fixed case where you could point at a Survivor but not register a tongue hit
Fixed Smoker tongue not targeting and landing properly through PZ ghosts
Smoker tongue does damage every second while dragging paralyzed Survivors
TankBashable objects now appear with a red glow
Tanks hitting a car with an alarm disables the alarm permanently
Tank frustration timer is only reset by hitting Survivors with rocks or fists
Reduced autoshotgun damage against Tanks
WitchWitch spawns at the same % through the map for both teams
Avoids spawning within a certain % of the tank
Fixed an exploit where the Witch could be woken up and tricked into attacking Survivors
Normalized damage: Hunter melee was decreased to 6 from 10. Smoker and Boomer melee was increased to 4 from 1.
Removing random tank and witch spawns for each team killed versus a bit. The second team will always know just about when to expect a Tank or come across a witch, giving them a little bit of an advantage.
The game still has it's problems. Smoker is still a total pain in the ass to play compared to Hunter and Boomer. Tank still can only hit one target at a time with his melee, where as Boomer, Hunter, and Smoker melee can hit as many targets that are in front of them and in range as they can at once. Witch is pretty pointless unless you're playing on Expert Versus. No Mercy 4 still sucks. Blood Harvest 5 still sucks. Skaw fucked around with this message on 02-24-2009 at 06:29 AM.

Also, Kill Bill is the best meta game for Left 4 Dead. Infected can only target Bill. If Bill dies other survivors must kill themselves. Hoping some goon makes it a true mod some day. Skaw fucked around with this message on 02-24-2009 at 10:41 AM.

1) He is black
2) He pronounces pills, "Peals"
3) He is bald
4) He is in the middle of a zombie invasion and he has not removed his tie
5) He states the obvious with an accuracy and enthusiasm rivaled only by the great John Madden himself
Also he's the least fat and probably most successful out of all of them

The only person that could likely be more successful is Bill. Francis is a biker, so he has no love for working a suit and tie job, and Zoey is a failure of a college dropout.
