***Official Left 4 Dead 2 Thread***

Took the plunge and got this yesterday. Had a pop on a random game on carnival and it was a good laugh. Havent tried vs mode etc yet though

Add some of your fellow OcUKers from here :)

Jump on the steam names thread mate and add your self to it. Also add a few of us on there as there is regular games going on and its much more fun playing with people you know instead of a pubic game.

On another note.....I'm BACK! DSL got activated yesterday so I can pester all of you once more! :D

Welcome back!
 
that happens quite a lot actaully. The amout of bugs in the game is ridiculous, theres a new one everytime I play :mad:

Some very annoying ones which spoil the campaigns and should have been fixed now on swamp 1 when you call the raft thingy it says you completed it and infected cant spawn. Also on swamp finale when you camp top of main stairs in house hordes dont come till you move outside and more often than not infected dont get tanks.

Theres no many other bugs its untrue but they are the main ones i can think of right now that ruin swamp!
I've noticed both of those on swamp, but never the one on carnival before. Suprising seeing as I play carnival atleast 10x more than swamp, due to map creators thinking wide open areas with trees to attempt to spawn behind was a good idea, ruining most of the maps when playing, we don't bother with it unless it comes up on random in team vs
 
hmm, steam ID+account ID...
dumb question but whats the difference?
Is steam ID the ingame name we use, or whatever comes up for us on friends, and accounts our login for steam?
 
there's a few ids and names on steam

the one you login with, your ingame name, the identifier for your steam profile, and a (partially) numerical id for valve games :) best to give people your account id (the one you login with) as it has to be unique so it's easier to find you. old accounts have this as the email address they signed up with
 
ah thanks.

Jame_ J im on the bottom of that list on the link someones given you, add me as I am still looking to play the campaigns etc, Havnt been through all of them in a one-r yet, only Hard Rain on advanced and something else on normal.. which doesnt count!
 
:O whats this im hearing of?
playing l4d2 with the ocuk gang
i like it, how do i go about getting involved? ;)
add some people from this thread/from the link Antar gave out, and let them know where you're from, ask if they're playing and stuff, you'll get invited to lobbies at some point :)

I don't find new bugs every time I play but I have noticed that the swap seems to be the weakest campaign in terms of design and bugs. I get the feeling it was a bit rushed.

On VS for example, had it a few times now where on the Finale in the house, the first tank just doesn't spawn and the infected come for 4 waves then the final tank and the final, final tank.

Not very well done at all, hence my least favourite campaign.
 
I've never really encoutered these bugs on it tbh... Swamp just sucks because of how limited spawn points are. Seriously you can spend forever as a Boomer trying to find a spawn point close enough to have a prayer sometimes. Then theres the new campfest event like the Aeroplane. Its a shame because Mudmen are 1 of the better uncommon infected, that do more than just take an obscene amount of shots to kill.

On that note, i think we should get Link to add the Fallen Survivor uncommon to Insanity. Nothing serious, he just releases a Molotov Fire when killed :p

The easiest thing to do is just fill in your steam profile page link that way you're guaranteed people will find you :)

As said though earlier by Disjunto, account ID is the name you sign in with and Steam ID is your in-game name and not exactly very useful considering it can change regularly.

I probably should put descriptions in for each of the fields on that list.

Would be cool if they could integrate a zombie much like the Soldier Head Crab Zombie which held the grenade and ran towards you. Imagine seeing one of those yokes hurtling towards you with a horde behind ready to blow up in your face :D

Er... i always thought that account ID is the name you gave your account. Steam ID is the unique set of numbers used to identify you in games that allow you to ban players from servers (i assume to normalise all account IDs). Then theres just your display name or Game ID or whatever you want to call it that you change on Steam Friends and can be anything you want. But yes, simply linking people to your account via the community page is the simplest way... search function never seems to be any use.

Horrible memories of Resident Evil on the Gamecube... zomg i unlocked my Infinite Ammo Rocket Launcher! Capcom "Hold on there little fellow, we've added in a dead STARS member covered in grenades who if you so much as scratch, blows up giving instant game over!" ****ers...
 
Sholud be:

Account Id - Your login
Steam Name - Your name in friends
Profile Id - The name for your steam community profile
Steam Id - The partially numerical key used in valve games (ie. STEAM_0:0:4672134)
