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

it's not a bug, how are you supposed to do anything when on the ground otherwise?

It is a bug because you choose to grab a melee weapon at the start or at X weapons point so if you choose a bat and never pick up a pistol then later get incapped then you should be able to bat zombies from the ground taking out their legs instead of suddenly whipping out a pistol from the micro stargate that happens to be in your pocket (or Coache's blubber):p

or you've got the pistol in the holster but only got one strap/sling thing on your back which can hold your melee or your main weapon but not both so you can;t pull it out without having to hold your main or bat in other hand..

once down it doesn't matter that your melee weapon is on the floor so you can pull out your pistol :)
 
You do only have 1 pistol instead of 2 though so its fair enough IMO. Would be cool to be able to swing a bat about while on the ground though.

Is there any way to play on US servers? Around this time everybody is tucked up in bed and theres like 2 or 3 games going in Survival. It says at the top 18 thousand people are playing lol.

See, no pistols in the holsters!
 
I still think it's an issue that could be addressed down the line. It's not like pistols are effective while you're down anyway, the only thing that stands a chance is the desert eagle.

A nice fat melee weapon to tale down a bunch of zombies while you're down in an expert+ vs would be pretty sweet.
 
If you want the real answer it's one word


"balance"

Balance my arse. Melee weapon is ridiculously overpowered. You just hide in a corner and hold down fire (funny how melee fatigue kicks in when you push a zombie away but not when your beating its skull in with a baseball bat), then theres the fact it shreds a tank.

You shouldn't wield a thing when your incapped. You don't have the strength to get up so how the hell can you swing a weapon with any force, nor do you have a pistol to shoot.
 
Very close game then. Maybe i should give Team vs another chance. I mentioned this ages ago but in my experience, the other team always RQ if we make it to the safehouse and they don't.
 
we had a few team VS today in that team, won the others easily and way outplayed the last team. they just got lucky!! but yeah, some good games to be had,
luckily no rage quits today

A have a quick question - when you play a campaign online how do you kick someone from the game?

Last night I played and someone enabled a vote to kick a player. How do you do that?

I am a L4D2 noob :(

but being killed by one lone zombie would just be too annoying :/


p[lus a survivor who was down without a pistol would be dead in seconds with even a few zombies around.
