I remember seeing Tefal outside with a Witch standing over his incapped body and i think i hit the canister while saving him. He was picked up on about 10% before he burnt to death, Scoobz was beyond saving ^^

Hard Rain finale with Zerg-rush tanks was just hilarious. Everyone camping the boat to get swarmed by 4 low hp Tanks and punched into the water

once again, I seem to have no clue what was going on with witches Mt internet crashed like a second before the zerg rush tanks I was looking forward to that

LinkTart server is being rebooted atm. Thought it was unlikely people would be on there at this time...and it needs a reboot for the last of the fixes I did last night.

Hehe, i found out just how stupid it is to rush 8 Survivors, also i found out just how stupid bots are. My 1st 6k hp Tank died in about 3 seconds flat when i got onto the roof. My 2nd 6k hp Tank punched midnight into the water (i think he let me tbh ) and caused Rochelle to hang on the docks over the water... prompting *3* bots to rush over to help her and stand by her... safe to say 2 of them went into the drink in 1 punch ><

I was right behind him to rescue you, honest

My computer/internet really didn't like those fixes last night. Even after they came back up all 5 servers were still lagging for me and occasionally losing connection. Eventually i lost connection completely (to all 5 servers according to HLSW) halfway through the first level and took 7 people back to the lobby with me Then after i rebooted and rejoined, i caused a massive server lag for 10-15 seconds then went back to normal and worked perfectly for the rest of the evening...

 

[Disjunto]

Yeah, my first tank I just sat throwing rocks, got bored and then got destroyed by bots with stupid aim, second tank I was running around guy on roof and then internet dropped

Oh, and YOU caused that massive server lockup? So you managed to remove 7 people from the server, not all of them made it back (allowing me to join though) and nearly crashed the server

Yeah, last night was a bit of a nightmare. I think (hope!) that it's all sorted now. You may have had additional lag as I had to make a backup of some of the files on the server just in case I couldn't sort it out. Would've sucked to lose most of our L4D1+2 config and map files :*(

Hehe, yeah i think it was me. The last area of the burning section of the hotel i lost connection, 25s later when it kicked me i reappeared in the lobby with 7 other people and absolutely no connection to Linktart 1, 2, 5, 6 or Insanity. Then when i reconnected at the start of the 2nd level my net was still being weird, lost connection for 10-15s, which apparently everyone felt, and after that it worked fine and my ping went back to normal.

Thats the weird bit, it was just me. Whatever was going on with Linktart 1, 2, 5, 6 and Insanity my internet really didn't like. HLSW was showing timeouts constantly and twice the ping of normal. But Link said it was fine for him and everyone else had a normal ping on the server.

any guide for this game?

Basics? Listen and Learn. You might be able to listen to loud music while playing Call of Duty but do so on this and you lose the most helpful thing you have. You'll get owned till you get use to the special infecteds methods of attacking but that shouldn't take long. Its mostly just listening for them approaching.

headphone + mic + good communication, with that you are a valuable member of any team, even if you don't know where you're going

But the same could be said about Midnight and he burns his team to death too

yeah, but at the end of the day, I have no issues playing with him because he doesn't run off like a loon he just burns you while playing banjo music (apparently)

I quite liked the Dead Center finale. 2 people next to each other on the floor get pinned and the Gas Can 1 dropped landed beneath him... guess who was the first to save his teammates by shooting the Hunter, setting off the can and burning them both to death

stick together, keep an eye on your teammates. Don't **** off on your own.

You left me to burn!!

 

[Evilsod]

You left me to burn!!

I was scared Spitter goo on the floor, Boomer bile on my face and i didn't realise you were burning till you said so in mic, i was just shooting the Witch (<3 Witchy), i did try and rescue you but i'd of been too late, lucky someone was already there

thanks but i dont understand all the different attacks etc... i got the game from steam and have no manual to describe anything

You really don't need a manual, there are 2 attacks for each infected, primary and secondary. Secondary being swipe. Primary being the obvious one.

When you first start to play you will see onscreen instructions on how to do the primary attacks, just follow those and play with people!

Thats why you play Campaign first. Jumping into Versus without at least knowing how to fight AI infected and what there strong/weak points are just annoys the rest of your team when you drag them down. Doesn't matter how good a player you are, you can't walk into L4D1/2 Versus Mode and not get your ass handed to you if you don't know the strategies. The SI all come with tutorials when you first play them anyway. Oh and contrary to popular belief, the Tank is not invincible and charging in head first and alone gets you killed very quickly, 6000hp isn't that much, especially when melee weapons are so ****ing overpowered.
