Played my first Versus match and was promptly tackled out a window by a Charger on Dead Center

Fignuts 11-17-2009 04:05 PM

Picked this up a little while ago. Gonna be in town for most of the day, but I'll hit it up this evening if anyone wants to join in.

The Jayman 11-17-2009 04:27 PM

I just hate that they released this a week after MW2. I want this game but I am just now relly getting into MW2

Fignuts 11-17-2009 04:29 PM

Yeah, everyone here is already way higher than me in rank, since I havn't spent much time on it. Now they are really gonna get ahead. Not to mention the fact that I want to finish my rvd in smackdown, and keep up in tekken.

I don't play videogames that hardcore in the first place, so splitting time is gonna be tough.

Fignuts 11-17-2009 04:30 PM

Begs the question as to why I buy so many, and I'll get back to you when I think of a witty retort.

Ermaximus 11-17-2009 04:41 PM

Left 4 Dead 2 will be only $35 new at Best Buy on black friday just fyi.

The Jayman 11-17-2009 04:42 PM

i shall await your response

What time will you be on? I work until 9:30 ish so I'm hoping to be on by 10 PM EST if you wanna play a quick game?

Fignuts 11-17-2009 04:46 PM

Yeah, should be on around then.

Ermaximus 11-17-2009 04:48 PM

Sweet tits. I'll keep an eye out. Interested in seeing how these new infected handle. That and I wanna bash the fuck out of that clown.

Exyle 11-17-2009 07:39 PM

Dark Carnival finale is the shit. I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't played it, but I'll let you know that you're in for a treat.

Fignuts 11-17-2009 08:36 PM

Hit up dead center in single player. Will hit up co-op later.

RoXer 11-17-2009 11:27 PM

POW! Gonna be snipin some bitches with this.

Shaggy 11-18-2009 12:42 AM

Picked the game up at the midnite mayhem thing at gamestop. Wasnt bad...line went pretty quick and we all got free chick fil a.

Im not really a fan of this one as much as I was the first one. The only reason I picked it up is because its the only game my wife will play with me and she enjoyed the first one. She seems to love this one also because we played 2 of the movies last night and today as soon as she woke up she wanted to play some more. Havnt played the final movie yet but Im expecting it to be good.

RoXer 11-18-2009 12:56 AM

omg getting the Sob Story achievement would be so easy if I didn't have retarded teammates. And then one I get across the field but a tank comes out of nowhere and smashes the car we were crouched behind incapping 3 of us. This will be me 4th try when really all I need is 1.

G hurry up and get this.

Fignuts 11-18-2009 01:03 AM

Fuck, tried to beat the finale of dark carnival like 5 times, but couldn't do it cause my teamates were mutes.

RoXer 11-18-2009 03:02 AM

Fuck you Valve, I totally saved the gnome and it didn't give me my achievement :mad:

Boomer 11-18-2009 07:06 AM

I will get it when it goes down in price. Pre-ordered the original, only for it to go to like 40 bucks at Best Buy a month later.

FearedSanctity 11-18-2009 07:39 AM

Best Buy is supposed to have it for $35 for Black Friday, so there's your chance

I'm eligible to get this Dec 1. Can only buy one game every 30 days from the Exchange.

Boomer 11-18-2009 08:55 AM

Well look at that. Newegg has it for 39.99 with free shipping and no tax today.

Done.

FearedSanctity 11-18-2009 09:09 AM

This game, as well as Assassins' Creed 2, are catching hardcore MW2 hangover though. People who would be playing this are still stuck on MW2. That's how it is with my friends atleast, 10+ have MW2 and refuse to pick up L4D2 until they tire of that. I'm the only one who prefers Left 4 Dead over Call of Duty, and the only one who owns both :-\

Fignuts 11-18-2009 07:00 PM

Finally played with people who talk. Completed the Dead Center, Parish, Dark Carnival, and Hard Rain campaigns. Managed to keep everyone alive for the first two, but lost one in the DC finale, and two in the hard rain finale. Makes a ton of difference playing with talkers. Dark Carnival finale is still a bitch, and even with good communication and prep, we needed two trys. And one guy still didn't make it.

Also, did anyone else who played in hard rain encounter over 10 witches? That's not an exaggeration. There were LITERALLY over 10 witches. Most of the time, unavoidable.

Fignuts 11-18-2009 07:01 PM

Oh yeah, and while startling the witch with a frying pan is suicide, it is also hilarious.

G 11-18-2009 07:39 PM

I think there is an achievement for not startling any of those 10+ witches.

RoXer 11-19-2009 02:52 AM

Which I got on my 4th try after deciding to just do single player and not use any human teammates

Fignuts 11-19-2009 02:58 AM

Resisting the urge to frying pan the witch has proved too dificult for me, as of yet.

RoXer 11-19-2009 08:34 AM

I like how theres a chronological order in this one. And how in the first level they are "unsure" of themselves and call special infected the wrong names. And the little intro part in the elevator.

And it is frustrating to do the Dead Center finale with no human players because the CPU doesn't pick up any gas tanks.

Did you bring him onto the rescue chopper at the end of the level? Also, were you holding him as the chapter ended?

Confirmed. Brutal Legend as well.

I counted 15 on my playthrough. :'( At one point, there were 3 side by side. 2 walking back and forth and 1 crying right in between them. Such a bitch.

I found it easiest to just grab the gas cans and toss them over the ledges near the car. Then just shoot up with a shot and speed fill the car with them. It helps if you play a lot of scavenge though too.

RoXer 11-19-2009 08:58 AM

Yeah, had him in my hand the first time but it didn't register.

2nd time worked though.

Ermaximus 11-19-2009 09:23 AM

Must've been a glitch? Were you playing online the first time or solo?

UmbrellaCorporation 11-19-2009 06:35 PM

Am I the only one that sees a pretty bad framerate drop during the finale of the Parish?

And the lag on this game is horrendous.

Don't get me wrong. It's fun. I love it. But I REALLY hope Valve will do an update/patch to fix lag/framerate issues. And this is a 2 day old 360.

NoJabbaNoBogRoll 11-19-2009 10:19 PM

Out of the new Special Infected, I think the Jockey is the only one that would've fit nicely into the first game.

FearedSanctity 11-20-2009 12:09 AM

Jockey is some of the most fun I've had in a game. Nothing better that catching someone who checks out a closet too long and dragging their ass waaaaaaaay back.

Charger is fun too, but kinda frustrating when you miss often

I noticed it...but I didnt care much considering I was running trying to get that 3 minute achievement.

Had fun last night with the wife trying to get the Rescue Gnome achievement. The minute the chopper landed I grabbed the gnome and rushed into it while my wife was stuck in the rafters fighting off all the zombies and tank. She was screaming "Come back for me you son of a bitch. Dont leave me here"

Fignuts 11-20-2009 01:39 AM

me and another guy had made it to the boat in hard rain. One guy got incapacitated, and the other decided to go back and help. Knew they wouldn't make it alone. So I decided to do the hero thing, and go back and help. Then I saw the other guy get incapacited, and he shouted "tank!"

Told them I'd always remember their sacrifice, and got right back on that boat.

Kapoutman 11-25-2009 06:07 PM

Anybody plays this on PC? I need to play with human players. The cpu is fucking stupid.

NoJabbaNoBogRoll 11-25-2009 06:15 PM

What is your Steam account name? ;)

I've only had issues with lag on the dedicated servers. Try hosting it yourself, it works a lot better. :)

Jura 11-25-2009 06:35 PM

Should we add Steam IDs to the PSN/XBL IDs as well?
