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

tbh, it depends entirely on the mic, mic settings and surroundings. Auto-transmit can be perfectly fine for some people, but then the next pug will fill the server with white noise, feedback and Corrie on the TV in the background.

I've no problem with either method of voice-comm, as long as I don't have to listen to corrie :p

I understand you, Sharpy. You're always worth a good laugh :D At first I thought you were mentally-challenged, then I realised you just drink more cider than the population of most small countries do/can and it all fell into place.

Evenings normally. It's odd that you don't see people on there - of the four that are now up, usually at least two are full most of the time.

Playing versus last night, spawned as tank, and was stuck in the scenery then I got banned as "Abusive"? All I said was "I was stuck".

Apologies about that. I had a word with the person that did it afterwards :/

edit: If you're still having problems, drop me a trust email/message.

We stayed on for another game after loads of folk left. My team got loads of tanks - the other team got one - it was hilarious - the last time I saw so much moaning on my computer screen I was visiting websites of dubious moral content :D

Haha, that was rather amusing ;)

"OMG at Valve!!!!11"
 
i have to laugh at those kind of games because we all know if the tanks were spawned for the other team you wouldnt have heard one complaint :)

Of course its BS when they are spawned for us but anyway i enjoyed it right up to the cheap finale defence stuck ina corner with auto shotties.

Im not sure like plat said that its something which can be fixed because every map will have a place where guys can hole up.

Maybe reducing damage of auto shottys is an option or giving the tank a lot more hp on normal difficulty, increasing the hordes etc, it needs something to stop thsoe versus games becoming a chore.

4 guys with auto shottys in each finale can just sit in one spot near an ammo source and take out everything in seconds including a fully healthed tank.

Its just no fun at all to see that happenin much like the gang hiding underthe ramp on no mercy finale.

Any finale im in ill take my chances playin normal than stuck ina corner spamming melee and unloading an autoshotty point blank :D
 
Well, it's like the discussion I had with Platinum in the lobby afterwards - the whole idea of the game is to have fun - for some (like Plat) that means victory, but to me it's all about having a laugh with my teammates and getting a rush from scraping through the finale and squeezing onto the transport or barely making it through the safehouse door.

When my team was all sitting in the corner of the radio-room with auto-shotguns from that match earlier, I ran out the room and went and hid in the barn on my own - I even had a little solo duel with a hunter. I had more fun in that 20 seconds during that duel than I did the entire time sat in the corner of the radio-room in the farmhouse. I did get caught by a smoker and then the tank, I have to add!

I guess different people get their fun in different ways! :D

As for the tank-shortage on the other team, I'm sure I'd be miffed if my team hadn't had one, but last night seemed to be very pro-survivor - in that there was a lot more safehouse reaching than I'm used to seeing in a versus match - from both sides. However, one thing I thought I noticed (perhaps I was wrong), but it felt like the team which was coming up against tanks seemed to be moving a lot quicker than my team was - we were quite happy to stop here and there to check for explosives (or just scream and fall to the ground under a horde), but the other team was going hell for leather through each map. Maybe it was just me...
 
ive noticed as well if your on a team that has a habit of having a player drop our regularly that it will often spawn a tank for infected if they are in a 3vs 4 situation.

That happened quite a few times last night
 
you got 3 tanks and we got nothing... that's like not giving a candy for a kid when he wants one! :( yeah we were rushing cos all the players were playing the same way.. no stopings and *@&! just get to the save room... i dont think valve will fix that thing with tank.. you just need work more as a tank cant remeber who was the 2nd tank at the finale but he hit me 3 times with a rock.. so it's posible to get survivors down even with 4autoshot guns :P plus you still have your team mates to help :) who can distract survivors when tank comes

Totally screwed our game over last night....just randomly started teamkilling, screwed us over and then left the game. Tool.
