Left 4 Dead Series (New DLC planned!)

[4% APR]

That really does ruin an otherwise great game. Playing scavenge helps to combat raging too because its so much shorter.

 

[Thino]

true in random VS game , people ragequit too much , forcing pretty much to wait on next round for other people to join

meh I'm not a big fan of scavenge , I'm more of a VS *****

 

[Handorin]

VS can be fun, I just don't like the scoring in this one. =/

 

[Thino]

what are the difference between L4D1 scoring system and this one , I didnt play L4D1 enough to notice lol

I like the l4d2 scoring better. They added in a bonus in case of a tie, where whichever team did the most dmg as infected get like an extra 25 points.


In l4d1 there was a health bonus , where you would get extra points depending on how much health(med packs included) your team had at the end of a round. This was taken out in l4d2.

Everyone add me if you havent already. ForpersentAPR

 

[Handorin]

I just hate how they can all be hobbling towards the door and they get the same amount of points as a team with full health.

And they need to take out Defibs, they are broken in a score system like this.

I rarely find any scavenge games going

They won't, because the team who did the most damage gets 50 bonus points

 

[Handorin]

woo hoo, 50 points.

i'm writing my music paper on the left 4 dead musical cues. writing a paper has never been so much fun.

 

[Handorin]

You should share it with us. It sounds kinda interesting

i dont even know what the musical cues mean.

 

[Mic_128]

Dun dun dunnnnn, DUN DUN DUNNNNNN sort of music usually means a tank, ect

Haha, it's hardly worth reading. but I just discussed leitmotifs and how the "Bacteria" sounds from Left 4 Dead signifying different infected spawning. The most obvious example is the witch's theme.

i dont even know what the musical cues mean.

Go here: http://www.youtube.com/user/ToastedWaffle18 and check out the "bacteria" sounds. You'll recognize them as the musical cues for when each infected spawns.

 

[Handorin]

They each have their own number of notes as well.

[Black Waltz]

Double post, sorry. But we need to get this L4D community back up on its feet. I'm resorting to playing with my girl friends and they can't really do much...

I'm up for playing most of the time I'm home. Everyone add me if you haven't. ForpersentAPR

 

[Handorin]

I'm down for playing when I'm actually home.

 

[Mic_128]

Where is The Passing? ;_;

 

[DCLXVI]

I typically only play if I see someone else is playing, which is almost never... too many bad pub experiences.

 

[Puddin]

Pub games are the spice of life. Delicious Spice when 4 total strangers band together and set aside their differences to overcome the other team in Versus.

Too bad it only happens once in a lifetime.

And every other time you end up playing 3v4 or 2v4... or worse, you wish you had bots on your team.

? I played once about two weeks ago, but there was nothing new or interesting that I saw. Is there some new matchmaking system or leaver rankings?

 

[Mic_128]

Other than a few minor bug fixes and tweaks, the two "big" things added was Bots for infected team (so it's not just one special vs 4 survivors ;_; ) and they also made it so during finale's there's no more forced spawning.

 

[Handorin]

I don't see that in my update logs.

[Handorin]

Reduced effectiveness of melee weapons against the Tank ( 5% of max health, from 10% )

This is pretty good.

 

[DCLXVI]

Interesting updates. I guess the Inf bots could help, but I doubt they really do much unless you get lucky. Then again, I have only played Campaign for a while. I always liked the force spawn in finales, as it gave the survivors a chance if they were smart and quick enough. I don't understand why the melee weapons were downgraded though. If you get close enough to the tank to hit it, it can hit you much harder. Was there some way to take advantage of this that was being exploited?

 

[Handorin]

If all 4 survivors rush a tank with melee weapons....you're done. It only took 10 hits. You are probably only going to hit 1-2 survivors, so in the mean time you are getting hit. Then you try to hit the others, but the others are back at you now.

The tank isn't as **** as it is in l4d. It takes a lot more teamwork now.

The problem was in a number of finales (Dark Carnival, The Parish, even No Mercy) you'd spawn in horrible places, such as right in front of a survivor, out in the open, or in The Parish really far away from the survivors.

 

[Slaps]

Who still plays regular L4D and wants to play sometime. I need L4D people to play with since everyone has left it for L4D2(I'll be getting it soon) =[

 

[Handorin]

I don't mind going back to the original.

I just...have to be not at work....and we got snow so I'll be trapped there for the next 2 days. Heck I might even have to sleep there.

P.S. Dominos

 

[DCLXVI]

I'm up for L4D, since my computer struggles at running L4D2 versus

The Passing comes out late March where the L4D2 guys meet the original survivors.

And after March a campaign will be released for L4D1 showing how the L4D1 survivors got to The Passing :D
