Could be mate, or it could also be that it was getting one back on us for playing through the levels the night before melleing them with medkits
I played on a few expert levels ervers yesterday and all were completely ramped up in difficulty from earlier in the demo.
Had a game with Lyon at the en dof the night as well which was very tough indeed, even moreso that we had 3 human and 1 ai on the team.
Had a funny moment tho when a tank actually started off the witch in one of the subway levels and she went nuts. I actually think he killed the witch then the tank died in a glitch when he tried to get on the train after us, he sorta got clipped into the side of the train and it killed him out right.
The tank creates some of the best gaming battles yet even now being fairly well versed in the game once you hear the tank music every1 backs well off and the old heart rte ramps up. If your in anyway injured and cant run at full speed your dead.

I think you're right - the difficulty has been ramped quite a bit.
Played the Episode 1 maps before with AI, it's buggy but it is quite smart of the director to populate maps that it has never seen before. Friendly AI just can't navigate most of the areas tough.
Off out tonight, have a few games tomorrow if anyone is around.
EDIT: Loving the upped difficulty, makes everything even more immersive.

What?
Weren't there for the HL2 release then? Gazillions of people couldn't run that for months after release because of several different glaring bugs.
I imagine that was a tiny percentage of the userbase, I had no problems so maybe I was obvious to this due to that fact but I cant remember any outcrys about bugs anywhere really, and I wasnt even running a strong system at the time. Bloody GF FX series.
id hazard a guess they wernt running mainstream systems or that they didnt have the usual driverset, or something, or had other software affecting their systems.
Isnt L4D running the same version of the source engine as everything else?
TF2 Only. Everything else is an older version of the Steam engine.
It's the servers your connecting to then, I haven't disconnected once.
riteo, didnt realise that, thought they rolled em all out together.
Runs great anyway. Better than TF2 does on my system.
The games definately worth the usual pricetag to be honest, we'v played 2 parts of 1 map, how many parts of it is there otherwise?
Imagine the amount of user content released in the coming months too.
And the versus is definately going to be crazy.
Either way it needs sorting.
so try hosting your own lobby or joining different servers?
Yes I'll just play with people I don't know because Valve decided to use a stupid server system
Have you tried hosting?
Yes I'll just play with people I don't know because Valve decided to use a stupid server system
you can make private servers, with passwords.
then people on your friends list can join...yes, stupid server system.
Yes stupid server system, why can't a browse a big list of servers so it would be simple to join another. It worked with every other game they made.
As it is I can't even create a server as it keeps disconnecting me from Steam, all other games on it work fine so something tells me it's on their end.

It would be nice to have the choice maybe.
However, all you have to do, is click find lobby, or find game, or click quick launch/game....Then it finds you a game normally.
Works for me anyway.
I did manage to get a list of server my buddied was playing on once actually....hm.
