    Brilliant 360 games this weekend guys.

    Survivor escort was entertaining, getting owned by 1 infected (while we had an entire team of survivors) was hilarious. Just good times. I even had fun doing the campaign later on with Shultz, XombieNinja and.. shit... Rad? I dunno. But that campaign was fucking hilarious.

    I think I enjoy this game way more when things go horribly wrong.

    "Noooooo!!! MY HEALTHKIT!!!!"

    I think I was the 4th guy. Are you referring to the NM Advanced campaign where one of us was trying not to heal for the campaign, but everything kind of fell apart by NM4? If so, that was me.

    As for the 1 infected v 4 survivors, the best part was the fact that I was smoker for the large majority of that.

    I think a better method would be to make player/player melee temporarily stun the melee'd player. Kind of like a reload, or similar to the effect of a Hunter/Smoker/Tank standing next to a Boomer when it explodes.

    But then you would have people meleeing others off of ladders and places that would have fall damage. I mean, I like this idea best of all but I see it going horribly wrong.

    I never said push. It would be like that effect, i.e. you can't attack for a few seconds.

    That is the worst idea ever.

    You're the worst idea ever.
    :P

    They should make it so that when you shoot a teammate they fall down and scream while clutching their wound for several minutes.

    There should be a way to choose your preference when spawning as infected. Lets say I hate being smoker and love being boomer, I should be able to set a preference that the game chooses spawns from. I mean, obviously it can't always guarantee that I get my preference but if two infected are spawning at one time and each prefer a different role, it would choose based on that.

    Also, you should be able to opt out of being the tank. I am a bad tank.

    Playing with PA folk is one of the few ways I still enjoy playing this game. I can't endure anymore pub games. Every PA game, however, is a blast. I only play with you folk, or friends in person.

    EDIT: Xombie and his moving healthkit. I think I had just shot him or something so I made the comment "I've got a healthkit for ya" and then got smoker pulled out the church through the fire. Xombie didnt miss a beat and immediately mocked my predicament.

    Some people (read: some pubs) are entirely too votekick-happy. I joined a random game yesterday and my game was hanging a little; before I could do anything, I was votekicked off.

    Let me tell you about Demon's Souls....
    I’ll tell you what happens in Demon’s Souls when you die. You come back as a ghost with your health capped at half. And when you keep on dying, the alignment of the world turns black and the enemies get harder. That’s right, when you fail in this game, it gets harder. Why? Because fuck you is why.

    More often than not, I will attempt to votekick pubbers for typing instead of using a mic. Second to that is when they wander off without notice or fail to keep up with the group.

    The best is when you join a pub and the first thing you hear on voice is your team going "what the fuck, kick that asshole" and then you get booted.

    Like, if you want me to leave because someone is coming, just ask. I guess that's what I get for playing on pubs, though.

    i think the best solution to the melee corner is reinstating melee fatigue, like someone mentioned.

    as it stands i can sit in a corner and feel safe. you should never ever ever feel safe while playing this game.

    When it's three cheaters against you I can't votekick them out, so the least I can do is not go along with their plans. Try to push things out of the way in front of the elevator, activate the lift, etc. If they go under the ramp on NM5 I just go lone-wolf and die near the machine gun. I'd rather die and deprive them of ~700 points than help them cheat.

    I prefer to instigate a simultaneous full-team quit. Without human players on both sides, the game just ends. Playing against cheaters isn't worth it anyway, so you may as well deprive them of the chance to cheat their way to victory and start all over. All I care about is having fun, so starting a VS game over with decent opponents is much better to me than putting up with exploits.

    Another option if you're on a cheating team is to get "Return to lobby" votes going and then get your own teammates to kick you. Then they're down a vote, the game goes back to the lobby, and the cheaters get kicked. Sure, you're out of a game, but again, it beats having to babysit a bunch of morons so they don't wreck the game.

    Ya, return to lobby is the best because if you start the vote on the cheating team they're doomed to lose. Those being cheated against will almost always vote yes, and you put in an automatic yes by starting the vote. Nothing they can do to stop it.

    I like to let em wait, think they get away with it.

    For example, people bashing down the door? Let em. Sure, you can try and pull em off, but don't worry about it too much. Just keep playing. Now when its THEIR turn to be infected, have all the survivors quit. Keep in mind that a lot of people prefer playing as infected, and taking this fun away from them is the easiest way to get them all upset.

    Its by far the most effective "revenge", as the amount of angry msgs I've recieved after doing this warms my heart.

    What are the odds that the XBox delay in "the patch" is because they have to charge (supposedly) for DLC, and if they wait and lump the Survival mode and Vs. play in with the bug fixes, they can call it a patch instead of DLC and it will all be free.

    I'm not sure microsoft would let a chance at free money slip through their fingers so easily. But who knows?
    I would LOVE to get free shit. As I'm sure many others (except the ones who want to exploit) also would. But I guess we shall see soon enough (hopefully!) how it all turns out
