Oh cool I got the Outbreak achievement. I wonder if it actually does anything.
Me too, I'm guessing it's one of those viral achievements where you play with someone who played with someone, etc, etc, all the way back to a developer or something.
Fucking hell: Expert campaign is a different beast from expert demo, after all :x
In those 4.5 hours played, we prolly would've pulled through with the fourth slot filled out by a real person. ~20 restarts on the third level of Dead Air really gets to you, so we downgraded to advanced and flew home with decidedly less hassle than the previous two levels were.
Depends. I'm not sure if it factors time spent in rounds you botched, but my usual run lasts about an hour and a half or so. And it is not a good hour and a half, an AWESOME hour and a half, so rest assured of your money being well spent.
EDIT: Also: Being bashed 30 feet by the tank through the Death Toll Finale second-floor railing is OK. Being bashed two inches and being stopped by an indestructable post is not. :shakes fist angrily:
I just remembered; Since bot-Louis was the weak link throughout most of our premiere Dead Air-run, notably on the expert parts, he wasn't getting on that cargo plane without a fight. I think all three of us spontaneusly opened fire on him as he came running up the hatch
Also real player tanks are so much harder than AI tanks, since real people will leave people to die and go after another instead of pounding on an already incapacitated person until they finally get distracted.
is there a server browser I'm missing? or some way to see recent servers? I was part of a great run through the second movie when my connection dropped and I couldn't get back into that server.

It's just from being barfed on by a boomer in versus mode.
Actually, no, it's a "viral" achievement. You get it by playing a game with someone else who got it. It was seeded by a small group of people, and is slowly spreading.

I care not to say the amount of hours I played this since I got it earlier this morning. But wow. I never got bored once. Also. Vs is fucking kick ass. Too much fun destroying people who dont know what theyre doing or making a badass combo that fucks them completely while everyone on the infected team laughs about how awesome we just kicked their asses. Too good. Too good.

So everyone who said Expert is the only way to play....have you held up to your promises on that or did you move down to advanced? Cause as fine as it was to finish the DEMO on Expert. I cant for the life of me beat the first level on Expert. Its fucking insane. (and yes thats with the same group of people I used to beat the demo on Expert with.) So weve been playing on Advanced. Its still amazingly great fun. The only really hard part in levels is the end where you have to fight assloads off before leaving the area. Such a bitch because theres always 1 to 2 people who are taken out by the horde of death that tries to stop you from beating the level...well...in my experiences anyways thats what happened. Its so fun.

I've only ever played on expert in the 10 hours I've played since last night. Except for the first few seconds of one game where I forgot to change the difficulty in the lobby. :P
If it's anything like the demo there's just too much of a difficulty increase from advanced to expert, to the point where it feels like you're playing a different game, since it's much easier for you to survive a horde of zombies beating on you from all sides. Most of the problems you have could probably be solved by always finding a defensible spot with one or two entrances. The finale of No Mercy was really hard till we stopped trying to fight the hordes on the roofs and just fortified up inside the survivor closet instead.

PT: Point. Cover front arc. Set pace for rest of the team.

Also, anyone know if moving crouched with light off halos you to the infected? Stealth-Death-Squad would be all sorts of win.
Well I could kick the demos ass on Expert but goddamn the full game is a bitch and destroys me hard on it. Its tough as hell but I plan to move up eventually. Its just today, we had one person who didnt play with us before. Well he did, but he didnt usually and hes a dumbass or shoots us, moves around constantly, doesnt duck, throws molotovs on top of us to kill a couple infected, shit like that, so wed die a lot for no good reason. I think we just need to try again without him. Oh and he also loves to wait behind and run off on his own. Which made another friend of mine quit, which meant only 2 were left to play, and it all went to hell which made me
So I ended up playing tons of versus today with some PA peoples. And I will say again. TOO FUCKING FUN.

Man, tanks ain't no thang. They at least come at you by themselves, so you can all concentrate on them and bring them down. Smokers hide in a swarm so that by the time your teammates know where they're supposed to be shooting, you've already been dragged down into the zombies.

And the range on that tongue. God dammit.

We were fighting off a horde on the roof, being smoker'd and boomer'd to death, having lost one guy to the first tank punching him off the building. Zombies EVERYWHERE, a hunter on one guy, a boomer explodes, and the Tank pops up to keep us company. So I'm taking down the hordes as fast as I can, and quickly become the last man standing. I start moving, trying to draw the tank away from everyone else, and a smoker gets me.
Good thing that tank was by himself!

Uh, that sounds like a lot of problems to deal with when playing on expert. Communication is key!
No shit. Hes the worst We had to move down to hard because of him. It was still goddamn fun but there were many times we wanted to slap him for being dumb. It gets annoying. Ill hopefully be trying Expert again tomorrow when we have one more person to play with who knows what hes doing >.>
Like I said, we could do demo Expert fine but with him....not so much.

I think I'm picking it up this weekend. Also, about how long is a full run through one of the movies?

But when we have our fourth musketeer...

Usually you can just right-click and hit View Player Manual, but that isn't appearing here.
Being a hunter is a lesson in frustration though.
Also real player tanks are so much harder than AI tanks, since real people will leave people to die and go after another instead of pounding on an already incapacitated person until they finally get distracted.
this game is like fun on a stick
EDIT: hunters in versus are just fun to keep throwing at the enemy and rack up like 5-10 damage each jump.

Until the finale of course.
Holy godamn that's a difficult finale.
But we did not roll back to advanced, oh no. We stuck it out on expert ... AND...... we failed.
Trying again tonight though. And we WILL succeed.
Oh and I think I know what inspired the Boomer.
No shit. Hes the worst
Like I said, we could do demo Expert fine but with him....not so much.
Yea, the finale to No Mercy is no fucking joke. Even on Normal you stand a good chance of wiping if you don't do the survivor closet.
