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

Just to keep you all updated.

OcUK 1,2 + 6 are all down for now, but OcUK 3,4,5 and Insanity Versus are definately still up and as far as I know, so is OcUK 7.

Give me a couple of weeks to get over L4D2's newness and I shall probably start playing the original again, occasionally.
 
odds are in a few weeks/months all l4d1 maps will be in l4d2.

Probably wont be too hard seeing as valve already stated the cuspom maps made for L4D1 in hammer would work in L4D2
 
Cant really say i will play L4D for the remainder of this year.

The big question is....What if valve announce a L4D3 half way through next year? Who will be buying it?

I was more thinking of a group that hasn't bought it and is still interested in playing the original. Was thinking of starting a l4d refugee club but noticed that pretty much everyone in the OcUK group has bought l4d2.

Ended up playing CS:S, old faithfull never lets me down.

Good game tonight might. Me and ezee will be staying with L4D for a good while yet ;).

As i havent played it for a while for one reason or another, it is good to go back to the campaigns on Expert :)
 
Yep, enjoyable game schumi. Counted up and I've removed 99 'friends' who no longer play l4d or have been absent for over 21 days.

Meh, your loss. I will still go back to the first one occasionally as for one I'll want to make sure the servers are still running and for two my younger brothers and some of my friends only have the first one.

Update: OcUK 7 has been switched to L4D2 by Defrag as the demand is quite hight for L4D2 servers atm, but very low for L4D1 servers.

This leaves:

OcUK 3 - 217.163.22.186:27015 - Coop, Versus & Survival Server - Hosted by Link to Insanity (Private)
OcUK 4 - 85.234.148.8:27165 - Coop, Versus & Survival Server - Hosted by Link to Insanity (Public)
OcUK 5 - 85.234.148.240:27145 - Coop & Versus Server - Hosted by Link to Insanity (Public)
Insanity Versus - 217.168.150.203:27016 - Versus Only - Hosted By Frenchtart & Link to Insanity (Private)

OcUK 4+5 will expire around new year (OcUK 5 in December and OcUK 4 in January).

Wasn't meant in a disrespectful way Link, and no it isn't my loss. Having a friends list full of people who play a game you have no intention of purchasing and who no longer play the games you do have is pointless. I just removed the clutter and now my friends list is back to being relevant to my game playing.

Gabe claimed. "We also agree with our customers that there needs to be an interoperability plan for players of L4D1 and L4D2, as multiplayer games are driven by the cohesiveness of their community."

Yeah, it hasn't fractured the community much. :mad:
 
Just played some Versus on one of my public servers (some random tried to votekick me, goodbye him! :p) then after that joined Defrag and his brother for some advanced coop (from NM3 onwards). Was good fun. As long as there is No Mercy I'll always go back to the original...
 
Awesome fun tonight guys. Insanity Versus L4D1 is the way to go methinks. I actually enjoyed it more than some of the more recent L4D2 games I've had.

Anyone up for some Xmas Eve L4D1 Insanity Versus 8v8? Or even some this weekend (providing the server still works)?
 
I had a go on the Lighthouse survival map a few days ago helping one of my friends get gold and it was great fun. I think i prefer the original tbh.

Oh and Ive missed Zoey :D.
 
8v8 server is currently back online, but will need to be tested more to make sure it hasn't fallen foul to the same update that the l4d2 server did. It doesn't report ingame slots properly either, but then it never did anyway and worked fine.

We'll have to see....

Yeah think we should have a L4D1 revival night great idea , my mic should be here by then too :D

In other news fakiyo has updated his community glow cfg for L4D2 ,this is by no means essential but is a definite improvement on the colours valve choose imo. Get it here -
