woo cannot wait
|
I can
|
I'm doing a pretty alright job of waiting, but I'm a very patient man with plenty of other interests.
... Do want, though. |
I can't wait to watch my computer try it run it :(
|
Looks a bit gay for a an M rated game.
|
I'm preloading right now
|
Played it with Boltr and teh_raped, really intense game.
Servers were laggy and I crashed :( But yeah, so far I'm liking it, will give it another shot when I get back from work |
Valve REALLY fucked up with the server admins this time around.
Infact many admins refused to set up a server... |
servers suck but the game is fucking awesome.

actually, the servers are fine. it;s just a weird bug. i have a totally fine connection in the first half of the maps, then on the second one, my conneciton goes to shit, i type retry in the console, and all is good
oh, and instead of using the piece of shit matchmaking, use the console. type in openserverbrowser, and look under the custom tab. make sure it has the server browser joining enabled or something like that oh, and, expert is the best diff, the most fun IMO |
Expert is the best

But the issue is that people who run servers are unable to play on their own server... since it's chosen at random. This makes buying or running servers pointless, because dedicated server are very expensive. (Unless you have admin to a bunch of random boxes around Chicago...) That and it took them a few tried to get a working dedicated server. |
Woah wait. Servers are chosen at random?
|
kinda, but you can open up the traditonal server list with openserverbrowser command, but only certain servers
the server list works so much better... matchmaking almost NEVER finds a server, leading to the "lobby leader" creating a listen server, which most people have no buissness doing with their shitty DSL connection |

They fixed that today for the most part. I was playing earlier and it didnt take long to find a server. But yes, expert is the most fun. |
the disconnecting bug is really annoying. whenever a new map is loaded (after you beat the first one) it just lags the fuck outta everything, and retry is now broken.
|
That is fix, doesn't happen no more, well to me

And this time without someone named slimbo filling in for you most of the time, ass.
Speakin of screenshots... |
Heh, it's gonna be cool to try this game out on tuesday. My PC barely got the minimum specs so I didn't buy yet cause I have no idea if it's going to be enjoyable or not with what I have.

the UI has been redesigned, oh, and, there is a way to play versus mode
sv_cheats 1 (must be single player, or, a local server with friends) ent_fire !self setteam 3 this makes you join the infected team then, you will be in the spawn mode of a hunter by default. the bots do not leave their safehouse, so type in sb_all_bots_team 1 and director_force_versus_start then, ghost, ghost boomer, ghost smoker, there is no ghost tank. if you dont feel like playing with the ghost, use z_spawn whatever boss you want its pretty unfinished, you will not repsawn on your own, you need the console, and the map is not designed for versus, so no climbing pipes or anything yet, you can noclip on top of it though. its hella fun being infected |

Server owners better not fuck this game up like they did with TF2. I don't want to see any bullshit mods, like a RPG system, limited lives, X-TREME BOSS RUSH or other game-ruining garbage. It's hard as fuck to find a vanilla TF2 server that doesn't play 2fort or the payload maps 24/7, and I hope this doesn't happen to L4D.
|
You know it will... it always does.

|
Hah, look what I found on Facepunch:

What's the point of using film grain? It looks like shit... >.<
|
To make it look like an old horror movie.
|
You can disable it no?
|
It's off by default or really really low. And tbh i think its a waste of FPS. Don't really see much of a resemblance in the grain shown above either.
|
so the point of bitching about it was...?
tbh if its not on by default theres no reason to complain about it tbh tbh. ;) |
Just played a quick single player game on the hardest difficulty. Zombies seem a bit easy to kill, although mistakes often mean you'll be killing fifty of them. Breezed through the first level, including the car bit. I seemed to trip every little trap the game had as well :P.
I can't seem to put my finger on it... but there's something about the game... I think that something is fun. 3 great coop games in about 3 weeks. Wow. Absolutely amazing PC gaming year for me. |
