This game is good for accuracy... the graphics are like real lol...

[SageGaiGar]

My copy finally arrived but it won't work. Loads fine, then it goes 'poof' after the intro.

Update drivers, make sure u've met the minimum system requirements.

No more updates for my vid drivers :V It worked fine with the demo.

*edit* Seems to be a larger problem with the game and patch itself.

[Alchemist007]

That's weird, the only problem I've even heard of being widespread at least is the scavenge map for Dead Center crashes.

[SageGaiGar]

Main issue now is it refuses to even open with the latest patch.

[Vexx]

Finally checked the demo out... interesting changes. Seems like the player characters are bit more fragile (which is good). Better bullet/gun characteristics.

Whatever on the new zombies... dunno, maybe after Christmas I'll pick it up (or if Steam has a sale).

[Mueti]

One sale already happened.

Also, you shouldn't base your opinion on the demo since it a) shows off two of the worst maps of the whole game and b) doesn't include any of the gamemodes that are actually fun.

Agreed. Hard Rain was the most boring map I have ever played. Just stay in the houses, leave the witches alone and you can complete the game in less than an hour.

Oh yes, ditch the SCAR and AK-47 for the M16. Accuracy matters more than anything here.

[Alchemist007]

Well against tanks, you're gonna want the AK considering it does 58 dmg/bullet. As long as you know how to use it you should be good. I'd go with the m16 for long range maps especially The Parish finale.

Me , i like the SCAR , one of my fav weapon

What i don't like about infected side is that they are nerfed the hunter
He does less damage , take more times to jump like 3s , hard to jump wall by wall , mostly you play on the roof ...
So , now , my fav infected is Charger

Given the intense violence in this game, I forsee it being part of a semi-documentary named "Bowling for <insert name of school massacre>".

I don't think it takes longer before you can pounce, walljumping technically feels the same to me as well. The thing is just that the mapdesign doesn't favor the hunter as much anymore or rather that they weren't designed with the hunter in mind in the first place. There are more invisible walls blocking you once you get up to a high spot and not as much of those spots either. Hunter was by far my favorite in the first one (loved all the advanced pouncing techniques and trying to get maximum damage with each spawn), this time I think it will be the spitter.

[-Sho-]

Yeah , thoses invisible walls bother me ! The surroundings aren't the same so the time for the hunter is nearly dead !

News :

First DLC announced on Left 4 dead 2

http://www.l4dmods.com/index.php?opt...news&Itemid=13

"the role of the L4D2 Survivors as they meet with the L4D1 characters"
“The Passing will become the most important campaign in the Left 4 Dead story, as all the Survivors are being called together in one campaign,”

Wonder , if it means that we'll play with 8 players ?

"In addition to the new co-operative campaign and associated narrative, “The Passing” will include new arenas for Survival, Versus and Scavenge mode and introduce a new co-operative challenge mode of play."

That's good . Because just there are a few Scavenge and Survival maps .

"The Passing will also include a new “uncommon common” zombie class, melee weapon, and firearm."

Yup .

"Left 4 Dead 2: The Passing is targeted for release in early spring for the PC and Xbox 360. Pricing will be announced closer to launch."

Early Spring huh. February , i speculate maybe ?

So , Free or not ?
If yes , PC -> Free
Xbox 360 -> Not
As usual .
BUT , i think that it won't be FREE , it's a shame ..

8 players? WOW. That is an ENTIRE rifle squad's worth of firepower! And what kind of melee weapon will it be? A horse whip? An eggbeater? A balloon sword? A mike stand?

As for the uncommon common zombie class, we already have the construction worker who is immune to pipebombs, the riot guard who is immune to bullets from the front, the clown who can attract hordes and the hazmat men who are immune to fire. What is next? A bunnygirl who throws teacups at you?

They should include another one clip set weapon like the grenade launcher, maybe the SAW which can hold only 150 rounds of rapid fire.

Then again, the most basic problems I have playing online are :

1. Server AFK. People just open rooms then leave the keyboard. There should be a boot or vote-start system for this.

2. Unstable client. Whenever I quit L4D2 after playing 2 or more maps, my computer crashes. I did a check and found my system to be entirely A-OK, so it is the client problem.

3. Idiots. I don't mind helping newbies to pass the stage or get achievements, but do the less welcoming players have to verbally abuse them or keep team-hampering?

I would like to have a REAL clean game for this week. Anyone up? PM me your nick.

[TigerII]

The new uncommon will probably be the cut fallen survivor. It was to have molotovs, pills/shot, etc on it. They cut it because they said it was too hard to deal with in a hoard due to the molotov getting hit on it.


And of course the 360 version will cost. Microsoft makes Steam charge for it.

Spoiler for Spoils for 2:

I wonder what happened to the survivors. Remember the military was killing carriers(In genocide manners), and the four are carriers. Either they will be killed or quarantined. Either way isn't fun for them.

[Cub-Sama]

Do you know that custom model/map thing or whatever it is called, is it on the 360 because one thing I hate is that the PC version can have like over 50 maps but the people with the game on 360 have to stick to 4 maps.
