***OFFICAL*** Left 4 Dead Thread!

Just had a nice trash game with people from here.

Got onto 3rd map, one of our guys had to leave and Knub dced so we were 2, bots being bots started the map off anyway and even though we asked to wait half the infected decided to attack anyway. We got another one in to replace the lost team member so we now have 3 players, next thing you know bots have triggered tank off and we had to start, got pummeled as you can expect.

So the enemy team starts their turn and just starts the map without even giving us a chance to get a 4th team mate in, instead of wasting my team with a bunch of people who have no idea how to play fairly I left them to it.

lol mate thats the first ive ever seen you ragequit, just for for the sake of it ill offer the defence for my team.

In a game were gettin spanked all is goin well until, nm4 as hippo (eulogy) said through various reasons two of their players left.

They asked our team to wait for new peeps which was fine until bots bein bots ran out of the safe room, probably instinctively two of our guys attacked the first two our of the safe room which were teh bots, they fended off that attack then the bots went off far enough to trigger the tank, this wiped them out just after CP a 3rd player arrived.

Next round starts its 3infected vs 4 humans and we play on, find t2 weaps and then hippo ragequits, followed closely after by another player on tehir team leavin CP on his own, so we call a vote for back to lobby.

All a bit meh to be honest, its the first time ive seen a player i didnt expect to ragequit do it, were we unsportsmanlike to play on? possibly, was it unsportsmanlike to ragequit? definately lol

Just one of those games that left a sour taste in the mouth, anyway fortunately those games are rare in the ocuk servers and no hard feelings eulogy in your shoes i may well have done the same for the first time :)

Mate I could have stayed but really, what would the point have been? I'd hardly call it a ragequit to leave a game which turned as disorganised as that anyway. Saying I ragequit the game implies I got so angry I left, which isn't true, I just left the game because it had become pointless.

You guys totally took advantage of our player deficit, which is the first time i've seen anyone in an OCUK game do so, I know that not every game is totally fair, god knows i've been on the losing side enough times, but you take the rough with the smooth as far as random team assignments are concerned.

Sometimes, bots have to take the position of players (for example yesterday when link defrag and lag had no 4th because steam servers were down, fair play to them they played on and did very well considering) but in these circumstances we always hold up and allow another person to join where possible, not just charge off, especially as the game won't officially begin until you open the safe doors there is time to at least send out some invites before you kick it off.
 
aye i know where you are coming from for sure, rage quit is a bit harsh i know, liek i said no hard feelings like i said in your position i may well have felt the same, ggs anyway up till that point. :)

I did tell everyone to wait, but a couple of players (shall remain nameless) decided to attack anyway. Still, you were ahead anyway, so I thought that you shud have stayed. I wish bots wouldn't run off as it was them that triggered ur teams downfall (ie, tank), but unfortunately in ur case, even as admin there was nothing i cud do (tho next time i might freeze all players ;))

Btw, don't worry lyon, we won ;)

Sorry for last night, my internet went down for about 30mins (thanks virgin media).

Seems that it wasn't great after I left which is a shame. Would have thought with the list of people and names on playing last night there shouldn't have been any problems.

Oh well the things some people do to try and gain an advantage, eh? I don't think it will be a regular occurance anyways.

Source games generally share resources. Makes downloading games faster if you already have a source game installed.

*looking in steam folder... are you on about the .NCF and .GCF files??? i see they take up less space then the actual game folders, but wouldn't be easier to just backup the whole folders now i have the space?
 
it just means the first source game you install is the biggest, so say you install HL2 first.

If you then go to install Episode 1, 2, L4D etc they will share common resources as they all use the same engine only with little tweaks.

If you were to install L4d from scratch it would also need to install these full shared files so would take a little longer.

When i installed Hl2 i think L4d said it was about 1.5gb as a full install of it is about 2 or 3 gig

the post is true, but not for l4d. it is the first source game that does not share resources. instead of using GCF's it uses the common folder.
 
i do like tanks on levels but it would seem a bit wrong really to have one on every level. it might then cause the mentality of lets wait for the tank then kill them. rather than the possibility of not getting a tank.
