Good game tonight, underdogs all the way and then owned on the last mission. Shame our gas can got launched into the bloomin roof
yes you owned by getting a load of cans while the infected team waited for admin to free your glitched player....
Ye was a great game, shame the charger got me at the end
Blame icey tbh. While i was picking you up after the Boomer horde everyone walked into the rescue zone and left without you, despite the fact you were next to the car

sorry bout my drop out, had internet problems
How do you enable the console? (~ in L4D)
Soldato
There is a menu option somewhere (might be in multiplayer), or start the game with a -console parameter (right-click the game, then properties, then Set Launch Options).

For me, the etiquette is simple - when the Infected team bring someone over to unstick the Survivor, they are quite within their rights to knack the boomer/hunter/jockey etc - but after that, it's back on - no holds barred - it makes it clear what the score is - for both sides. If a survivor starts clearing commons, collecting cans or moving forward, then I think it's game on.
The first time it happened, I thought it should be a case of "let the infected run off (if alive), let everyone gather their wits and then move out". The first time I got stuck, a boomer got me out by being popped next to me, then a spitter incapped me - I was pretty hacked off, but I thought - well, they are trying to kill me, just get on with it! That said, I got charged and stuck last night on Scavenge, and no-one stopped to rescue me, but my team-mates still finished the game off
However, let's just hope it gets fixed quickly and all this is irrelevant
And by the way, if you would rather not be boomed, a pipebomb underfoot also clears the problem (anything that stumbles you) - perhaps admins could spawn one?
Hi Link - to quickly report, I got stuck during a VS game last night and while everyone did stop to allow me time to get out, the plug-in did not work. Typing !stuck did nothing, nowt, zip, bugger all.

Was fun last night. Im not the best player but I try my best. We did win the first map I was in. lol
Soldato
any add on maps for this yet? hope death aboard makes it.... i thought for some reason i read that all l4d1 maps would work on l4d2 including the originals... anyone know?
Played a versus game on Dark Carnival last night, before that i'd only played levels of the Parish and the Hard Rain campaign, the latter of which is awesome.
Got to the last map which a lead of about 800 points and they got a tank, a charger, a boomer and a spitter right at the start :/. We didn't know what had hit us. Of course, we got the same but its a lot harder when they know whats coming. Thank god for the spitter though, the helicopter seemed to arrive really early for them, I just kept spamming the ground infront of it so they couldn't get on. Tanks mopped them up and we ended up winning by about 30 points.
On the 3rd level I was in fits of laugher when we had 2 of their team down in spitter bile, with the other two unable to get to them. Our jockey ran in and stopped one potential revival, whilst our charger slammed in to another, the jockey'd fella got shot free and right as he was about to get someone off the ground, our smoker grabbed their last standing guy and pulled him away. This was all in the space of about 20 seconds, after being killed spitting on the ground I didn't get the chance to respawn.

Haha, Me, Repta, Hippo and MRK played a team VS last night against some randoms. We didn't use the LinkTart servers because they were all full, so it took quite a while to find a team and THEN a decent server...
Essentially they weren't bad but exposed themselves as a bunch of guys who weren't that experienced. They also pointed out their weakest player from the start so this made it all the easier for us.
We got a perfect score and survived every map, they failed on all except one where at least one of them died. It was good lulz anyway.
Funniest moment prolly went to Hippo's on the finale (Played Parish) where he waited as a charger and two came along and he pwnt them both off the bridge into the sea
Good times. What made it better was we were having jokes with them along the way and keeping things friendly. They didn't rage quit and everyone was happy.
I might be up for more of that tonight!
