    Go in the chat and ask for an invite. That way you'll see when there's a versus trying to get people via announcements, which allows you to play TF2 or something, rather than just sitting in Armadeaddon.

    Sorry, I meant I'll keep the idea of not adding music to gameplay in mind, hence why i put a break between the sentences, to indicate a seperate thought. I can see why that was confusing.

    Meh, don't listen to the silly goose. The music was fine. Everyone should know what the game sounds like by now.

    Insofar, my choice in music has spurned more conversation than the content of the video.

    Also, I assume everyone is going to vote for Last Gnome on Earth to be brought back next week. All the other mutations weren't very creative, mostly just alterations of existing game modes.

    Hopefully that'll make them fix the gnome issues on time for the gnome versus mode.

    And then make gnome vs permanent.
    I wonder if for gnome versus it would be better not to have the horde swarm to just one (the gnome) target. Isn't it too easy in campaign to simply kill the bunch or are there continuous swarms? Haven't tried the mutation.

    They run at the gnome guy but if someone else gets in the way they will attack him too.

    Everyone, look at the prima strategy guide for L4D2. There is a page dedicated to explaining ammo. Has anyone bought this, and if so was there anything worthwhile that you can tell us now so we won't have any reason to buy it?

    Of course, I was watching the whole thing from the death cam as I wandered my Jockey ass into a hole while trying to decide where to spawn, so it's not as though I have any real room for laughing.

    In theory they could, but the trailer is pretty narrow and the doorway and the laser sights were on opposite ends. The spit covered somewhere around 2/3 to 3/4 of the trailer, and they were pretty banged up from earlier attacks and forced to limp, especially once the acid starting dealing damage.

    And of course once the acid was going a Hunter charges in from outside and starts swiping away, so they didn't stay up for long.

    I was skeptical of Versus Realism at first but after Walrus has invited me to like 10 games of it I am forced to conclude it is the bee's knees. I don't feel quite so crushed every time I get a jockey now.

    I haven't managed to have a fun game of this yet, it just seems to make the infected behave really dumb (a lot of stranding still five feet from you) and makes it really easy.

    So me and three friends made our own mutation, the rules are that only one person is allowed to enter the safe room at the end of each level, and only if the other three players are dead.

    It is awesome.

    New Mutation
    Last Man On Earth.

    You will become legend to the infected as the last human left.
    You are the only Survivor left in the world. No split screen help. No Survivor bots. But don't worry you aren't entirely alone. While there are no common Infected, Special Infected will hunt you down and become close, close friends with you.

    This Mutation is available in Single Player Mode.

    The results from last week's poll are in and the Hunter clawed his way to the top.

    Here are the numbers from the PC:
    20% Hunter
    17% Charger
    15% Tank
    13% Spitter
    12% Smoker
    11% Witch
    7% Boomer
    5% Jockey

    And the 360:
    22% Hunter
    18% Tank
    14% Smoker
    14% Witch
    13% Charger
    7% Jockey
    7% Spitter
    5% Boomer

    The only thing we are sure of is that people love the Hunter.

    Needs more boomer love
