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

@Knubje. Sorry, I can't help you. I'd have guessed that they were on Be and using the Speedtouch (which can cause similar problems with some online games) but if TF2 is working fine... :?

Everybody else...This is an amusing Blood Harvest exploit that I'd hope to not see on our servers:

He has provided me with the console log of what is going on:

Doesn't mean much to me but worth looking at.

Ehhhh not really a glitch, that's just smart playing.

That's like saying when I'm infected, I wait for the survivors to open that door so I can drop through the vent is a glitch.

You could say that bashing down the metal roll door thing on one of the no mercy levels is a glitch....but it isn't to be honest.
 
I think anything which circumvents the crescendo events is.... unsavoury. When my team run over to the metal door on NM3 I always feel a bit uncomfortable...besides, I've said it before and I'll say it again - I want mayhem!

There was a classic example tonight on NM3 when me, Sharpy, Trigger and Meatball were infected - the poor Survivors had three people with literally 1 health point and Sharpy said, "you can feel the panic in the air" and he was right - amazing what you can pick up in a game :D

It's a game - it shouldn't be exploited like that. And as for your second example - that's quite obviously an exploit. Anything that allows you effectively bypass crescendo events is cheating in my book. And it's people like you who try to justify this sort of behaviour that are ruining the game.

First off, do I do these? No, So shut up.

If the door wasen't supposed to be breakable, they wouldn't have tied an entity to the thing and gave it a maximum amount of damage...Complain to the mappers.

Anyone, if I was in their shoes, I'd most certainly choose that door rather than some eerie lift across a roof :p But I still don't do the door method regardless.

Indeed, I'm not arguing that :p I love the damn mayhem!

To be honest, if people can't stop 4 people spending a minute bashing on a door to destroy it, they need to sort themselves out to be honest :p....That and stacking crates!

Maybe the crates where overlooked by the mappers? God knows, if they find it that important to remove they will, it's not exactly hard, just remove the top one.

Annoyingly it's incredibly easy to defend these areas. They're tight corners when smokers are useless and hunters get knocked off straight away. Boomers, if they can actually get a hit are useless, as the horde just get melee spammed. :(

Where the crate is yeah, still do able though.

Outside by the metal door, definitely doable :p

Like I said I don't personally do it, or have ever done it. Really don't have the time to think about stuff like that when I'm running for my life!

I think they should nerf the house as well on blood harvest, it's stupidly biased to the survivors :mad:.......Unless a boomer gets in there :p
 
A good team will maim the tank before any further than the top of the stairs.

The ONLY way I find is to get a boomer in the house whilst the tank is coming, so they survivors are distracted.

Auto shotguns from 4 people just destroy the tank within a few seconds and if the team is camped in the bedroom then their just isnt any point in having anything else!
