***Official Left 4 Dead 2 Thread***

I forgot to mention that tonight will be my last games tonight for potentially a few days.

I have bought a house and get my keys in a few hours so will be busy moving over the next week. I am far more pr0 skill than Ghurka, being that:

a) I'm Portsmouth (Fareham) and not Southampton
b) I've got skills and broadband SHOULD be arriving tomorrow as we are moving in.
c) Have far more game than he could possibly ever have.
d) Not a scummer ;)

So yeah, looking forward to getting it on!!


Oh yeah, P.S - FU Steve and your charging antics!

congrats on house, big purchase :)

I'll be on tonight for some 4v4 madness, given up with getting fun 8v8s going

8v8's are good, but it's not what L4D2 is about, or its a very small part of it, imo.

It can be fun once in a while, to play 8v8. As midnight rightly said, it seems the sort of Saturday night everyone is drunk and on steam type of affair that suits it best.

Personally I prefer the originality of having 4v4 and a decent match pitting wits against the other team, rather than one mass free for all which gets messy. Coordinated sometimes, but mostly messy. :)

I think until Link sorts some version of the Cevolink.cfg to work (removing med packs, guaranteed tank spawns on 2,3,4, etc) then Insanity Versus is the best thing playing recently. Would be nice to have another insanity versus rather than normal until the cevo is fixed, link any news on that yet?

The problem with all OcUK games as we found recently is that everyone is pretty good, knows the ropes, etc. The main issue being on most maps there are at least 5 med kits per level or defibs, which means that to take a team out it has to be all or nothing in cap. We played Dead Centre the other day and there was no challenge or fun element in it. There were some good attacks and round winners/deaths - but it just felt like you were playing with a cushion boundary.

Don't think I've played with you yet Dis/Elementalist? so maybe we can get a game tonight, if you come on OcUK VENT - which is co-incidentally where many a lul is had at Steve or Midnights expense! Wow, I have waffled on and gone way past the point of what I was originally making, so I will say this:

Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steeevvveeee, Steeeeveee, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve!
 
lol, not sure if I've played against you actually. and its Ellusionist ingame... Elementalist is quite cool though ;) Guess I'll have to hop onto vent, need to find another key to use to activate mic, gets annoying having same one in vent as ingame... well annoying for everyone else

I absolutely hate defibs in vs; link, any chance you could make it so they come back b&w from a defib, seeing as your attempt to remove defibs didn't seem to work, because as it stands, its quicker to kill a b&w player + revive than use a medkit, and it completely removes ant gain the last attack managed to give, especially right outside the safe room,
 
The 4x4 we had last night was actually a pretty good game, I think the teams were evenly balanced and there were many close calls - we did lose but not by much which was a trend followed after each round apart from one where survivors were pwnd almost too quickly ¬¬

my vent refuses to connect to the ocuk one anymore, the server name/ip changed or something?

No mate it's still the same.

IP: V27.darsktarllc.com
Port: 4025

Check your settings, I know some people on BT/ADSL lines the other day were getting lag but no one has reported to me they are unable to connect. Firewall/Router changes recently, etc?

Why are people on vent as opposed to using ingame voice comms?

Is it so that both teams can hear each other?

We use in game voice, but it's fun to be able to talk to everyone at the same time. We also have seperate rooms if that's what you want to do.

For campaigns get all 4 people in and actually be able to hear people clearly and loudly.

People come in often when not playing games or when organising games to chat random shiz/insult peoples.

less delay, better quality, able to set volumes seperately to game + able to chat to other people not in the game :) also you don't get the mics quietened/distorted during hard rain storms ;)

I might not be playing for a while, back home and had to leave my pc at uni. Not sure how home pc will handle it, x1650pro :/. Also i get to look forward to 150+ pings

cant get your vent working, my clan vent works fine.
 
I should be around tonight for my first games with you all, either 4v4 or 8v8 (or campaign...), I don't mind. I've not really added many people just yet since I feel a bit bad sending out unsolicited invites when you might not want me cluttering up your friends list! I'll add my details to those Google docs sheets shortly though.

I'm on Vent myself, but I use the in-game chat by default and only really use Vent when asked to for team games, etc. If Vent's the default thing that's no problem.

Hopefully see some of you later!

It's working for everyone else but as I said you and Tefal (who says now works) are the only people who have had a problem.

Some people on ADSL connections have had issues recently with latency but not connection issues.

Did you copy and paste the details? I had someone trying to connect to v27.darkstarl1c.com recently, because they can't read/copy properly :) Just a thought :D

Either that or there may be a dodgy route from your connection to my vent, who knows?

Can you try the DARKSTAR test server:

v27.darkstarllc.com

3784


Do you get any error messages or does it just sit waiting to connect?

add antar, link, steve,midnight, evilsod, me, and defrag.



just remmeber to send a msg explaining who you are after you add them/get accepted just so we know to invite you :)


then when you get invited/start games with those guys go to the players tab at top of friends list and add the decent people you played with.
 
Blame knub for being a fool.

The capital v at the start of the first link he posted seems to be the problem... (i guess).

The test server worked fine, so i changed the port and the main server worked then. Before i was just waiting on connection forever.

Might be :p

Having said that a capital doesn't usually change things in DNS afaik so could just be you are all noobs? :D

Anyway, I posted a guide about 30 pages ago explaining it all and people managed to get in that way!

Also to giant frying pan, add the top 20 posters in this thread to your steam friends, not just the list above and you should get a game easymode. Sooner or later your friends list will be 200+ people like the rest of us :D
