Left 4 Dead Series (New DLC planned!)

[Puddin]

Just finished downloading, this load screen couldn't go any slower. Oh my god, there's a Survival Mode for EACH Campaign? Why didn't I know that!!

 

[Ladybug]

Wait, for PC? I'm so breaking the rules and dling at work... In fact, I might even play at work. Haha.

And yeah, the fact that it's for all campaigns was the most wonderful thing I ever read. :D

 

[Black Waltz]

I just downloaded it and I JIZZED IN MY PANTS.

 

[Omis]

Oh god I just plain suck at this so far. Any tips for the Light House? My best time is only five minutes

 

[Gory snake]

Fixed. >_>

Imo, consoles can be good, but any FPS is far superior on the PC. Plus, you can upgrade a PC.

PC is a piece of crap, would cost me hundreds to upgrade to play one game, and I dont play many FPS's, I mostly play fighters.

Though I actually had a great game on Death Toll, no rage quits and I had a good team.

 

[Ravin]

Lol

13 minutes, 28 second on No Mercy Survivor.

Its win

 

[eman]

Left 4 Dead is an EPIC GAME! I love playing it downstairs with the lights off and sound turned all the way up.

 

[Ladybug]

Actually PC is not crap. It's just crap for you. Console games can only get so good before they have outdone the basic abilities of said console then you have to go and buy a whole nother system with a whole new set of games, blah blah blah... While PC games can constantly get better with the requirement of only changing one thing at a time (unless you do a total overhaul) and you still have it for everything else plus the games... Unlike a console. PC games have constantly been far better than console games, such as Crysis... Where only two computers in the world could actually run it on high settings and one was owned by NASA. The only problem that a PC has ever had is the inability to do split screen co-op, but these are why you have lan parties.

Also PC games have always had far superior graphics than console, i.e. the Counter Strike to Xbox fiasco or the lovely lack of Half Life on Xbox. Also with the fact that PC now has the adition of a physics card, this also pushes the PC past the limit of consoles.

 

[Ladybug]

****... double post. Sorry.

 

[Handorin]

Update
is
amazing.
=)

 

[Ravin]

LadyBug wins the internet

 

[Vyse]

Downloading the update now (at work - I bought my laptop with me...I have Uni afterwards anyway)

My download rate fluctuates between 3kb and 90kb/s. The steam bandwidth monitor is pretty kewl.

 

[Ladybug]

That's what I'm doing too. I brought mine with me and am updating now. Although the University wireless is pretty sucky. :/

 

[Puddin]

****ed Xbox LIVE community doesn't feel like giving me a match that doesn't have Team Killers.

Seriously, I've never had so much trouble with Team Killers before. Also, hating the new Melee limit, is this new to the PC? It's really annoying.

I've only had one good Survival match so far and it was at the Train yard of Blood Harvest, we went into the room with the big yellow block letting us go up onto the balcony and camped on the side adjacent the big yellow brick thingy.

We had it in vs mode before. It makes it A LOT more balanced. It also keeps people from leaning on the melee crutch/turning vs into a race to the finish. I was surprised when I saw it in Survival because it wasnt Vs. I need ot do a campaign to see if it is there too.

 

[Ladybug]

You still turn vs into a race to the finish even with the melee limit. Or at least, my team does. Haha.

That's what we were either complaining about or liking about 2 months ago with the melee thing. But we are now used to it, you guys on 360 are not which sucks.

 

[Handorin]

I wonder if you can do the L12D thing on survival. That would be too fun. xD

 

[Ravin]

Not to mention the PC communit lacks what the Xbox have.

Angsty 15 year olds.

 

[Ladybug]

Oh come on, I love angsty 15 year olds. They are easy to control and mess with (at least for me cause, you know, I'm a chick. Haha). With their moms yelling in the background and their over trash talk when they do something mediocre and their "I meant to do that" when they suck it up. Like I said, love angsty 15 year olds. Hahahaha.

Drunk and high PC players are the best.

 

[M@v]

Dont forget we are going to be having a kickoff party starting soon at the smashboards l4d steam group. get here :O

 

[Serris]

Event starts in seven minutes. All night long, baby~

 

[Ravin]

No Mercy has STARTED!!!

 

[Shake~]

Ah, played for quite a bit today. Also I landed 3 instant kills on Dead Air too, somehow they didn't grab the ledge. It's definitely better now.

Also got gold on DT4 Street and DA4's stage in Survival. Still can't get a silver in Lighthouse though.

 

[Superstar]

Dead Air > No Mercy.

Now if only my nets get better so I can try the patch.

 

[Black Waltz]

I wish there was a spectator mode >.> I'm missing out on the fun.

 

[Puddin]

Any noticeable differences with the Versus Maps compared to the Campaign maps of Death Toll and Dead Air? I haven't noticed much except for the differences in Ammo and Weapon locations at the Finale, it's weird huh? I've always felt that the finale was a bit of a safe haven before you actually started it, but for some reason Valve decided to strew the supplies around the map.

Any particular reason they would do that? It gets incredibly annoying during Survival when you see that your Ammo is low and the Ammo pile is on the floor below you.

 

[Ladybug]

I wish there was a spectator mode >.> I'm missing out on the fun.

I agree. I was hoping since they were using that guys server they could set up one, but alas, we're ****ed. A spectator mode would be hard though cause you had to make sure they couldn't talk or anything.

 

[Shake~]

Death Toll Versus is boring to me, while I enjoy Dead Air quite a bit. It's so much fun to be a smoker on Dead Air.

The items being moved is most likely to make it easier for the infected to kill the survivors.

 

[Spife]

@ Spife - Really?

Dont need to know much about techno but beat and other sorts, gets more complicated if your doing remixes.

imo trance is much easier to produce than techno, I don't do either but trance....is such a cop out/sell out genre. Techno's actually got some intricacies.

Beats are funny, the most common beat in electronic music is four to the floor. As soon as you know it you'll recognize it in the weirdest places (like the biolizard boss battle song from SA2:B).

I'm working on a song of storms remix. Remix's are really only hard if you:
Need to make the samples yourself (and aren't a musician)
have samples that don't synch up well

other than that, it's just taking the original and adding your own spice to it (or adding enough spice to avoid copywrite infringements). I don't have the samples (which is good, I prefer working with midi) so I'm working the kinks out, I'm also not musical, so it's a bit difficult. I want to put an acid spin on it but I'm not sure if the TB synth I have will work out.


While I'm posting a page on electronic music, is there a thread a discussion like this would be better suited?





did you guys get the content? I have a head cold and haven't been playing. I should get on today.

 

[Vyse]

I've tried so many times to try and produce my own music but I'm just not good at it.
What program should I use for it?

Also, DLC downloaded! yey.
Uni class starts in 20 minutes

 

[Spife]

I use Ableton Live, I started with sound recorder (don't ask) and actually did something with garage band (but it's limiting). I don't know a lot about other programs though.

I'm sure FL comes with enough samples so you can just string samples together and go "lolremixtehtechnozzz" but if you want to ACTUALLY make tracks, just make your own samples.
My tracks are very flat and boring. Dynamics is what i dun know about.




Can't wait to play with my team on the two new maps.

 

[M@v]

So yeah, Dead Air is so glitchy its near unplayable. 2 tanks spawned before the survivors even opened the saferoom door at once point. At another, they had a witch and tank spawn right next to eachother. Other times one side would get a tank, others wouldnt. Survival mode kicks *** though :D

 

[Mic_128]

Exactly the point. There's no chellenge in durvival if you just camp a corner with ammo sitting right next to you. they said specifically they wanted people to use teamwork for ammo/health/grenade runs.

That **** was ****ing trippy. Too bad I glitched out near the end.

 

[Ravin]

So. after our little Dead Air game with constant glitchs and my team getting shafted out of a tank three times. I do think that I wont be playing that "Legitiment" Versus map till the patch it up.

Also I like survivor mode.

I think the Tank at the beginning of Dead Air 4 was the game's way of making up for you guys not getting one on Dead Air 1.

Nevertheless, Dead Air is full of glitches and, frankly, I'm surprised Valve didn't catch any of them before release. The Campaign maps were much less glitchy.

 

[Superstar]

I played some Dead Air versus yesterday.

It was fun. Sucks about the glitches you're getting, though.

 

[Zero Beat]

I have a question, since I don't have the actual DLC/game.

The DLC came out for free, and MS has stated that free DLC will not have achievements included. Is it the same case here?

No. On the PC version, we now have 58 achievements compared to the 360's 51.

Bronze Mettle - Earn a Bronze medal in Survival Mode on any official level.

Let me re-phrase, MY PC is a piece of crap.
