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

I get the feeling its partly the 360s fault... and MSs unrelenting policy to charge for absolutely everything on system.

So valve were probably stuck with the fact that if they wanted to introduce new stuff to the game it would have to work with the 360s version of the game that runs from a CD rather than an editable installation file and the fact they would have to charge for even minor updates like a small 2 stage VS level...

Having to basically release an entire new game on one platform or have free continuous updates on the other would just annoy fans in both camps.

Personally I would prefer they just dropped the 360 support for the game. Release the finished product, but then drop all after market support if MS are going to go against valves approach of free DLC. Im sure the 360 L4Ders will think the opposite... they are probably very happy there is a sequel, its just the norm for consoles and most other games.

Toughie.
 
Just got this on the steam deal, Jim theres a new campaign called Crash Course, apparently its quite open and spaced so more room for Vs.

Gonna have to find some ocuk guys to play with, but i dont play many games so dont even know how to find rooms yet =D

Away from the internet? :p

Yes, new update and a new mini-campaign from Valve.

ShiWarrior, add me:

Mattf121 in steam (Link to Insanity will come up).

Here's a suggestion guys. The new update killed the ms_force_dedicated_server command, however it brought in a new one: mm_dedicated_force_servers 217.163.22.186:27015,85.234.148.8:27165,85.234.148.240:27145,217.168.150.203:27016 will add ocuk3,4,5 and ocuk1 for example to a list (don't know if there shud be a space after the comma, server=no normally so I think this will be the same).

This new command allows you to specify a list of optional servers, so if your first choice is full, it will take you to your second choice etc... Good idea imo, especially if you use multiple servers. I have aded the line above to my autoexec.cfg file. Once I know that ocuk2,7+8 are working I'll add those too.

PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADD OCUK6, otherwise you may well screw up the 8v8 server. Thanks. :)

yeah been on a euro trip and got my hands on win7 so wiped and have not been on l4d for 4 weeks now, will do when i get in though!
 
will be playing l4d tonight for sure! enough of this rubbish! i need to get back to the game.. and annoy everyone around.. x]]]]
 
On a slightly different subject, I've not gotten into L4D online yet but what would be the best Vs maps?

I've always played CS:S so Dust and Office etc are the popular ones so just wondered what were the equivalents in popularity on L4D
 
i still love all teh maps and never get tired of NM :D

Crash course for me was all about gettin that newbie feeling again in new surroundings.

We were all giggling like wee kids when we heard the new voice comments and seen the cannon etc.

Overall its just far too short for me, in all seriousness in a good ocuk game i can see VS being epic on those maps but if a team is unbalances the survivors could be wiped out ina few mins theres just so many areas for infected to spawn.

We played survival trying to find any bug spots etc and valve seem to have done ok there, one comment on the bridge survival point is that the right side of the map is basically a waste of time, the only decent area seems in the house at the start, we got 15 odd mins without much trouble before midnight fekked it up :p

It does have the illusion of being very open and like Lyon said because its new you think its less linear than in reality.

Either way im not gonna knock any new content cuz lets face it the majority of us are still playin the same 4 maps a year later and were playin 2 maps for ages before that so the VS modes will keep this and L4D 2 alive for some time to come :D
 
couple more dodgy connection issues/errors to add to the pile ive got already
now i have to try to connect twice to a server before it works
and theres another random time out unrelated to the normal one i have
