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

L4D2 is dead. Before it was released L4D1 had multiple games, teams and maps each night with no real problem of getting game after game for at least 1 year. Now it is hard to get more than one 4 vs 4 on L4D2 a night.

Maybe due to not everybody buying L4D2 thereby splitting the community and new games coming out. But there is a distinct lack of action since L4D2 came out. This might be why there is more team vs team play, easier to get 4 players than 8.

Don't think I've ever had a problem filling a game unless it was at some obscure hour of the day/night when most people are still in bed. It's shocking how late some of the people here get up for example :p

Maybe it's just that nobody likes you fish :p
 
it's a reduction to 20 hits instead of 10, not sure why loam says 500, maybe he has 10k tanks?

Oh yes, he fails :p Tank takes half the normal damage, i guess its a start but its really necessary... its so stupid when playing as Tank having to be constantly aware that a baseball bat to the back is more dangerous than an Autoshotgun.

Like the other changes too, temp fire immunity so you can burn him the moment he spawns. Definatly something for all non-vanilla servers imo.

No its because i'm stupid and I meant 300. I've been dimensioning up house plans all morning so right now my numerical processor is in a bit of a mess.

Missed this post when you posted it, but antar brought it to my attention by replying to it :D

I completely disagree, I play team because it's more fun for me. We setup a lobby for insanity yesterday for a less serious game and it was full without me even having to invite anyone. I play atleast 1 game every night, the only time I don't play is when I'm busy doing other things, there's always some people about up for a game, maybe you're just not part of the crowd or something ;)

Does this mean your next house will somehow work in 4 dimensions...? Or more than likely be in inches not feet :p

my server freezes the AI tank and stops him throwing rocks, and makes it immune for a bit while it puts the player in control. To avoid the scoobz style vent rage when I throw a moly at the ai tank throwing a rock before he gets control :D scoobz must have moaned every time he got hit that game :D was funny

nah it's because a lot of the main ocuk l4ders have been playing team more and more, as it' more variety and you know you're going to be on a good team that work together well, that and you don't feel to bad about absolutely destroying the other team/bother with team balance.

At the start there where loads of 4v4 ocuk game and insanity ones but then we all started team >.<

no, but it might mean the inside is bigger than the outside, Actually its not the dimming that's the issue as Autocad does it all for you, its the window/door/opening schedule spread sheet that I'm doing at the same time that's the killer.

To be fair, it is lame to get spawned on fire. The tank already sucks as it is :p

Does that mean you might end up with a door opening into a window?
 
There are generally less big OcUK games that do 4v4 vanilla or insanity. I guess this is down to a fair few people playing Team VS but I still do not have any problems getting a game of OcUKers together. Plenty of people on vent or steam to ask.
Last night was my first game of insanity in a few days and minus the people on vent it literally filled up in under a minute. Wasn't too bad a game either.

The main issue with Team VS is like Tefal said, when you play Team VS and you know you'll be on a good team without balancing or messing around. Some games are very close but some are not and really bring a challenge. You see a lot more in Team VS in terms of new tactics and it's generally quite refreshing to play outside of the OcUK Gene Pool.

I'm quite up for an insanity BH or NM tonight. Need link to upload them to the insanity servers I guess though?
 
do you chaps have any plans on converting Death Toll ? I think some of our chaps might actually want to kiss you if you were to.
