    Hunters are the best if not for the wall-jumping

    I'll spend the better part of the first level of No Mercy bouncing off the walls above the survivors, doing nothing because it's awesome

    The sound is scary enough. Hearing that roar over and over again from every side is a scary thing.

    I started doing it once, and basically flew from the street to past the survivor's building exit. It was no less than eight jumps and at the end Flippy was like "holy hell delish" and I couldn't help but giggle

    I s'pose all that double-jumping in tuftoo helped.

    I need to go finish some Expert campaigns before Versus ruins me. So many bad habits. You don't have time to worry about ordinary zombies and friendly fire when you're on Normal and bosses are spawning all the fuck over the place, but all of a sudden you go back to Campaign and you're supposed to crawl through the entire level.

    But it's so simple.

    Don't play expert.

    It is taxing on your soul when enjoyment is right there. I mean, seriously. Versus is so good.

    Beat all 4 campaigns on expert tonight. Such a good feeling. Dead Air finale was the hardest. Couldn't find a good place to make the tank climb up and down shit.

    Time to start versusing like a motherfucker.

    i'm disappointed that there was no developer commentary on the hunter. maybe they didn't want to admit that they ripped off the hidden mod.

    I'm not sure I'll ever do all four campaigns on expert, I have too much fun with VS. The only one I've beating so far on ANY difficulty level is No Mercy. I'll get halfway through a different campaign and then I'll get invited to do something else (like VS).

    Versus is almost too much fun.

    It has something magical about it: People seldom whine and bitch and moan when their team gets steamrolled. Knowing that you're about to get a chance at revenge right after you die horribly makes everything so much more pleasant all 'round. And with random teams you can't claim that this that and the other guy are all joining in on a great conspiracy to make you cry, either.

    I love it. The game not only forces people to play as a team, but it forces them to be sportsmanlike about it as well.

    Funny how plotting revenge is considered sportsmanlike.

    Also, why does L4D unbind my Voice Chat key? It's been three times when I spent a better part of a "film" talking to myself : <

    If you haven't been able to partake in a versus server that has alltalk on, despite the challenge of having little privacy, there is nothing better than hearing the survivors while your infected team beats the shit out of them.

    Damn I just had a fucking stupid VS round

    So I was playing the surviver on the finale of No Mercy, our team was doing alright defending the first 2 waves of hordes and the 1st tank.
    But during the 2nd tank, those on the infected side decided to not move the tank at all so that they could kept spawning other special infected, yet the choppa would never come since the 2nd tank hadn't been kill.
    I've killed like 20 hunters or so during that time and got bored and frustated and decided to quit.

    Damn that was just fucking cheap.

    [strike]Plotting revenge[/strike] Horribly maiming all who oppose you in retaliation for their use of your precious air is the heart of any true sport!

    The game loves to unbind non standard chat keys, it's evil about that, but you might be doubling a key up and not noticing? I discovered that SHIFT is actually a walk modifier.

    If you have console enabled, ` will bring it up and
    bind key explode    [I]there we go I had it backwards[/I]
    
    as in
    bind home explode    or     bind end explode   [I] and again[/I]
    
    will make that key cause you to die. If you're playing anything other than a boomer you will simply keel over from a massive stroke.

    it's important to note that you can use the kill command as a boomer even while disabled by melee. With a kill-key, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to get some bile on at least one survivor, depending on your choice of spawn of course.

    We were estatic. Without your selfless act, we would not have been able to experience the joys of being raped by a bloodthirsty horde of zombies.

    Kudos sir :P

    Also, if you're typing the explode bind into the console, I believe the correct format is

    bind "key" "explode"


    In my case,

    bind "MOUSE5" "explode"

    vs is awesome until your sucky team decides they don't want to suck anymore and go play something else, leaving you alone with 3 bots vs 4 human zombies. I had no choice but to kill the bots and see how far I could get on my own. Almost to the elevator, but not quite.

    I'm not sure about the "mouse5" but the explode doesn't need quotes.

    We also did quite well considering. Kept them around the safe room for a bit and got Duld down to red. Got two Boomer hordes in, I think. Also it's quite fun vomiting on folks in the safe room.

    Well yeah. I didn't mean I did all of it by myself with no help whatsoever. I meant I was shut in a tiny room with a Tank and I fucking lived. The only reason I was able to kill the Tank was because my teammates had shot the hell out of him.

    Except for Duld. Who was stuck in a tree.

    Played VS on a pub server, first no mercy map. I got to be the tank and I'm chasing down the survivors to the safe room, but they close the door on me. Then one of the guys opens it. Over voice chat the survivors are freaking out and someone's arguing that Tanks can break down safe house doors and that I'd get in and maul them anyway.

    Just went though all of No Mercy on expert with Peeps, a guy called Jerry and a guy called Drag. Got to the finale and its the second tank, we're all alive and at least three of us in high green hp with one in yellow. No pills or medpacks.

    We only had two molotovs so Jerry used his one on the first tank and it was Drag who was meant to use it on the second. He throws the fucking thing behind the tank as opposed to where he''s most likely/definately going to be (judging by the bee-line he's making towards us) and then after that he runs around and gets boomered. He gets killed before the horde come and who do they decide to go after? Me.

    So I died 'cause of this arse and thus I am still yet to survive an expert finale. Peeps was hunter pounced on the helipad as Jerry (who was really good save for his rather haphazard molotoving under pressure and lack of peripheral vision) leapt for the helicopter and safety. At least Drag didn't make it. But then again if he did that would have meant the boomer horde would have bloody well stayed on him and I'd have lived as well.
