Just trying out Fraps as last time i tried it it kept crashing L4D1 so decided to see how fast i could do the bridge finale. Observe my 1337 can jumping skills.
I could probably do it a bit faster but I cant see how people are doing it in 1 min 30.
At a guess, spending 1-2 seconds grabbing an adren from the trucks as you pass them would definatly speed up the time, as would triggering the event, using adren from the saferoom and grabbing another 1 and getting to the bridge again. I'd suggest the Autoshotgun anyway, more guaranteed kill at close range. Though you shouldn't really be killing them if you can't simply melee them out the way.
just a few questions as ive been contemplating setting up a server for me an a few friends, as we dont have a big group to play with.
if i were to get one, is it possible to set it up so its private untill we join and choose to make it public?
and if i make little tweaks, i.e tank spawns with a mini horde would people still find it if they chose to join game? and would achievements still work?
and lastly. would it be possible to make infected bots fill in gaps of any missing players on the infect team?

Just to make it easier to answer:
1/ Yes. Just set up a search key and only people who know that key can get on unless the lobby leader knows it.
2/ Yes.
3/ Yes. You need sourcemod and a plugin to do this though.

cheers.
with 1/ do you mean that the server is empty, the 4 (or less) of us set up a lobby. i then change permissions so anyone can join, i choose to start on my server. then if people drop out, others can join as if it were public?
and with 3. would the same apply, could people just join once the game was going.
its just a bit annoying with only having a small group as unless we wanna 2v2, theres not a lot to do other than rely on randomers

1/ Exactly as u discribe.
3/ Yep.
4/ Just join the ocuk group, makes friends and use our servers if you like. See first post in this thread for more info.
Good tips, never thought of that. I'll give it another try in a bit.

what difficulty is that?
obviously on easy... he took 1hp from that shot to the face
edit: watching again, that is obviously a shot from back... so maybe normal
If anyone has a sec could they join my server and tell me if the welcome messages are working? I'm at work so can't try them out in person. They should come on about 25 seconds after you connect in the chat area.

Link, FrenchTart or anyone else who knows the answer to this:
Can you get to a lobby on the OcUK community servers like you do when you're starting a normal online game?
If so, how do you do it?
I've always just went into the server and altered the game settings using the player vote options but the invite player option is greyed out doing it this way.

open console before lobby and set sv_search_key to one of the following:
ocuk - for normal, vanilla gameplay
ocuklink - for insanity vs with lots of excellent improvements
ocuk8v8 - for insanity 8v8 vs, lots of nice improvements + 8v8

completed expert last night...hard rain(no restarts)...and dead center(4 restarts)..got the achievements this time,apparently there is a server bug on some servers,when you set the game to expert and complete a stage in the campaign,sometimes the difficulty resets itself to easy on its own,this happens on many servers,according to the people i played with so check after first stage completion,this game is easier than the first game i think
Hard rain finale was so easy could have proabaly done it with my eyes closed

yeah, some servers have z_difficulty set in the server.cfg, which gets reloaded each map. hard rain finale is definitely easier than I expected on expert, managed to get it first try on expert realism pity we had to restart earlier on.... but that's a witches fault
pity we had to restart earlier on.... but that's a witches fault I'll play 8v8 if there is enough people I recognise playing.ive bn busy playing "Last one alive lock the door!" .

Expert on L4D2 is definitely harder than L4D1 - however this is mostly down to some of the more difficult levels you run across. Hard Rain is all easy enough except for the second map, and i'm sure that is easy if you have the right tactics down to complete it. I consider the finale on Hard Rain the easiest of the lot to be honest.
But in total I do think it's more difficult than the first one, the events require you to move and this leaves your more vulnerable than camping a closet in L4D1.
and the new infected seem to be very effective against groups camping in closets... well that's when the charger decides to have any kind of path finding code run, instead of trying to charge you from ground when you're still on the roof; or the spitter doesn't trying and spit through a tree. at least the old SI still have to awesome warping cheats so they don't miss as much (tank rock throw is most noticeable)
