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

Opul's a nice guy and good fun to play with (oo-er) - I'm sure he realises it wasn't his best move - it won't stop me playing against him on the OcUK servers :)

That said, Knubje made some very valid points. Sometimes life doesn't go your way and you have to deal with it - same with the AI. Sometimes he loves you and gives you lots of med packs in a med-cabinet, sometimes he hates you and gives you pills. That's the game. Perhaps the patch will address it, but I'm pleased to see everyone is moving on :)

If you join via a lobby (use "sv_search_key ocuk" in console) you can load a Vs game even on one of the COOP servers.

Quite annoying from an admin point of view - if I set a server as COOP, I want it as COOP...but the lobby system sees fit to overrule me on that one.
 
Hey all,

First of all, I would just like to say sorry, it was unfair, and I felt like a complete plank after doing it...So I can see why people are annoyed.

Hopefully people don't avoid the servers because of that, I can assure you it was only that one time.

At the end of the day, as Knubje said, the directors there for a reason, to make the game random, which it is, so it should be left like that, so once again I apologise for my actions to everyone who was involved...and of course Aekeron.

Yeah, it's really handy for players and in this situation quite useful - it's annoying when the opposite happens though. I load up the server browser and find that all the Vs servers are running COOP...

...which has happened once or twice.
 
Was playing earlier albeit not on an Ocuk server, has an update come out that makes the Tank very, very week in VS mode?
I spawned as a tank earlier and i was dead within 15 seconds, never seen my life go down anywhere near as quick. That combined with the fact with VS being on normal difficulty it isn't actually fast enough to catch anything makes the Tank absolutely useless :mad:

I really want a patch to add a setting to specify what infected you like being. So If I'm playing with a mate who always wants to be boomer, and i specify not wanting to be it. He should always get the boomer. I can't see any reason why Valve shouldn't add anything like this, it would hugely help infected teamwork.

Yeah, once the survivors have tier 2 weapons the Tank goes down *very* easily. You need to get the other infected in there at the same time to cause enough mayhem that you can't just be focus-fired and taken out before you can do some damage.

In /re to choosing your Infected boss character, I'm pretty sure that this was the case previously as there are various old files in the left4dead folder that relate to it. Perhaps it'll be reintroduced at a later date.

Whoa! Loads of changes. I think this will spice things up a little :D

edit: and they have addressed a lot of the issues and things that people have been moaning about - tanks, witches, auto-shotties on tanks, smoker usefulness.....I think games are going to get a lot more interesting :D

If anyone gets on before me and people are on too then could someone send me an inv on steam? :D
 
Survivors cannot bash someone off the tongue until the Survivor being pulled is paralyzed or hanging

Not to keen on that to be honest......Does that mean you cant melee a player who is being dragged away?

However this:

Smoker tongue does damage every second while dragging paralyzed Survivors

Is good :p
 
Obsoleted my Infected HUD mod in one fell swoop! :mad:

(only kidding - I'm glad they've integrated a HUD for the infected team, makes it a more consistent experience for all)
 
I think it means you can't melee him until the smoker has him properly.

For example there are times when you all hug together when a smoker is about and just melee to avoid anything happening (if he does grab you it instantly would break). I think its after the point you can't stop it yourself you can be melee'd.

Some nice updates though, very happy on the whole (need to test first though!)
