Here's a solution.
Let people change the versus mode difficulty to whatever they want! Advanced for some, Normal for others, Tiny American flags for everyone!
I WANT A HUGE AMERICAN FLAG!
That cost you cash money, sir. Paypal me moolah and your flag will arrive in 1-100 years.
Will it have the extra star after America annexes Canada and turns it into a new state?
I'm a newbie to left 4 dead and was playing this last night with 3 mates over system link, but we all got stuck pretty hard on the sewers in No Mercy. It didn't help that we had all run into a tank just as we dropped down the manhole, but I could not navigate the place. I thought one of the little vents would help us but we ended up doubling back on ourselves many times and always got stuck at one of those chest waist high walls. And then we got picked off trying to find the route and gave up for the night. Where's the right way?

You're looking for a red ladder that leads to the surface basically. Probably around where the tank spawned and killed you.
As a writer I can't help but be offended a little bit every time I read Left4Dead. I mean yeah, I get it, there are are four survivors, but it still pisses me off. Almost as much as Driv3r.
Left for Dead with a big red 4 behind the for would have been fine. Not to mention the amount of times I have typed L$D because of stupid goddam shift keys.
Nevermind me, I'll be here in my own little corner with my neuroses just rocking back and forth quietly.
I'd like a L4D version of Gears of War 2's Horde mode.
One house, one apartment building, one rooftop or whatever, infinite waves of zombies. Replenishing health packs every 3 or 4 waves, a box of infinite ammo.
It would be great, especially if you had stuff to barricade doors and such.
Basically, an extended version of the finales on each movie. The Blood Harvest one is especially fun.

You can do that on the No Mercy roof with certain console commands. It's fun.

i really don't understand why a person would be offended by this....the game is supposed to be like a cheesy horror movie, the number in the middle helps it along that path to cheesiness...they aren't taking themselves seriously, just having fun with adding to the cheesy horror genre..

I too, dislike people typing Left4Dead. The title of the game has two spaces and is Left 4 Dead.
I've got to tell you, on the 360 a lot of these problems you guys seem to have....don't happen. We can't put stuff like alltalk on, and boomers don't get to explode at will, nor do tanks spawn on/in/near the saferoom at any time.
I will agree about the AID making it tough for one team, although its normally my team, and I don't mind because we rape survivor face anyways. I can see where it might get frustrating.
I guess it's abit of a tradeoff with the console. Less glitches/exploits, but also less versatility/flexibility.
In vs we can't change difficulty either
Also less content and why would you even do this?
Until mods start coming out, the two versions are pretty much identical (in terms of play value).
So, play it on xbox for a month or two until the PC version gets stable, sell it to gamestop, then buy it on Steam.
Until the inevitable patch comes out that valve doesn't port to the 360. I can't imagine l4d being much different from the orange box.
Valve's specifically stated that they plan to support the 360 version as well as they do the PC. They also stated that the 360 Orange Box will be getting all of the TF2 updates in one big update.
Yesterday my team managed to knock a survivor into the red, when their group hid in the elevator closet.
It's not even close to impossible to hurt a turtling team, you just have to be coordinated. Much like the survivors.
Smoker one, drag him out, hunter pounce the one that goes to save them.
personally I find it is "does one team get a tank before the other has found L2 weapons" more on normal than anything else TBH), but yet I still find it better and more fun. ZOMG.
Tanks and Witches are ridiculously easy to kill in Versus.
Versus is just fine. Use team work.

Close. But you open with the Boomer suicide to stun the survivors, so there's no resistance when the smoker grabs him.
You can also be a bit more proactive and have the hunter(s) pounce the ones still in the closet, so they keep getting stunned and have even more time for the unlucky sod being strangled to be beaten down.
so far the best thing i have ever done is get on top of the elevator before it arrived to save the survivors.
When it opened and summoned another horde, as a hunter i pounced the first one to get in. the others were so busy shooting infected and fending off other boss zeds that i had enough time to put him in the red
i imagine he was screaming into his mic the whole time
Every time a server admin activates the three infected limit, God makes a kitten impotent then kills it.
The big thing I noticed about VS is that as Survivors, everyone with a mic is talking but when it gets around to Infected the game goes dead silent and all you can hear is kekekekekekeke.
I really am starting to enjoy spawning as the Smoker now. Last night the survivors had just ascended the motorised lift on No Mercy and were running across the slanted roof to jump through the window. One jumps through, then two.. three.. the fourth goes to jump inside...
BAM! Pulled him right out of the window down to ground level. They didn't last much longer after that.
also, holy balls does this game need an "invites only" permission. it sucks trying to tell random friendslist/group people who joined that you already had that slot saved for a buddy.
So, whoever I was playing with, awesome Expert No mercy.
We were at the finale, and once we would get to the ladder, a tank showed up.
Okay cool, it wiped us, but cool. Then a witch spawned up at the top of the stairs. We shoot it, lure it back, and a horde of zombies spawn behind us and rape us.
Then another tank spawns, we all run to the saferoom, it busts in and kills us.
Then another witch spawns, I manage to kill it, and we start the finale. Only Francis and I were left, and he died while he was touching the helicopter, leaving one old lonley war veteran the only survivor.
Boomer, Hunters, then Smoker picks off the remaining one of one or two remaining.
I don't know, I find all this debate a bit silly. Both teams have exactly the same chance to score points as the other (barring lame tank spawns or lack thereof). I don't see why this or that should be considered lame.

Yeah, I was trying to LAN with my friend last night and couldn't get it to work so we just decided to go online with a dedicated server. It was his first time playing so I just wanted to show him the ropes. I wouldn't really mind people joining but they might not want to play with me while I'm going through the game with him.

Best game of L4D ever.
That was pretty fun
That first witch spawned at the top of the first of two ladders. Everyone fell back down the long corridor, I was going to shoot it and run like hell, and as it chased me down the corridor, everyone was going to light it up. This plan worked successfully in the hospital lobby, so we had high hopes for a second success.
The Director, however, was not so forthcoming. Literally half a second before I shot the witch, and far late to be warned, a Horde was spawned in one of the side rooms down that long hallway. I shot the witch and turned around, ran around the corner straight into the Horde. Couldn't melee my way through fast enough and the Witch decimated me from behind. Awesome yet horrible at the same time
That totally sucked that I couldn't just jump into the helicopter. Far far too many zombies were swiping at me instead of you =( I'm glad you made it out alive, though.

Heh. We were playing on normal versus on Blood Harvest one time. Our team was first as Survivors and we sat next to the weapons closet (melee slowdown was on, so you couldn't spam that). We got thrown apart every so often, but eventually we all (barely) made it to the RV.
The other team tried the exact same tactic, but they all wiped, mostly because our Boomer was able to get all four of them and I was able to sneak up as a Hunter and get about 10 free hits before finally dying. After that, they got Boomered again while trying to heal, and I spawned in as the Tank while they were blind.
One strategy, two different outcomes. I love this game.

We almost beat expert no mercy but the server died during the finale.
Much tears were shed.

Actually, that didn't make me angry at all because it was just such an hilarious moment.
Inviting you to stuff is much easier if you provide a link to your profile.

I mean it's ridiculously easy to do.
I expect people already have the maps for it.
Oh, and the best finale for vs that I can think of is actually Death Toll's... but having not played it, that's just a guess.
There was a brilliant HL2 mod of basically Horde with a small house and some ammo boxes and infinitely spawning enemies over a hills.
I take it Gear's Horde mode is like Invasion from UT?

You can pile on a lot of damage if you hit with all four sp. infected at once then.
Difficult level for the zombikins though. You really have to have made a kill before the lift or get a tank on the upper floor.

That's what we've done almost every vs game I've played.
That's not an admin decision, it's a bug. The map starts before everyone's loaded and the game assumes however many people currently in are it.

If you can land a smoker on a group of survivors and actually drag him you're playing against bad survivors.
BAM! Pulled him right out of the window down to ground level. They didn't last much longer after that.
Ya...especially since melee spam breaks the tongue.
