I don't really play this game unless I got credge, mushy, skank, exo or jon around. Sometimes the spirit of Hank plays with us too.

same. its simply not fun relying on other people not to be fuckasses. and its especially fun when jon decides to be a fuckass (molotoving downed comrades, setting off car alarms, etc). ahhh, good times.

What's great is that even when I'm trying not to set off car alarms, I still manage to set them off almost every single time. Even yesterday I jumped out of a window onto one of them. As I was falling, I thought "uh oh, wrong car" but it was too late...yeah...definitely too late.

Credge · 01-19-2009, 03:04 PM

I mainly enjoy versus because I can usually hold my own weight as both a survivor and an infected. Everyone else can go fuck off and drown.

That's about how I play.

ya my friend just bought it cause of this

Last night I decided to post a left 4 dead video on youtube. I launched steam, started l4d and started recording with fraps. The entire first part of l4d was recorded, where the team runs into the witch and then the tank.

The AVI was then converted to mpg - which reduced it from almost 200 megs to 70 megs - and uploaded to youtube.

Within minutes of being uploaded, the video was flagged as being owned by electronic arts EA. There was no background music, no nothing, just video of the game.

I deleted the video and sent valve tech support a question asking what the deal was. I also asked how I can get permission to upload l4d videos to youtube.

This is getting really sad. When someone can not even make a fan video of a game, something is wrong. Just think if EA or Valve decided to make youtube remove every game video of Fortress forever, TFC, half-life, half-life 2, l4d,,,,,,,

Sh4x · 02-27-2009, 04:14 PM

Maybe because your video was shit and gave a bad image of the game? I dunno...

Bridget · 02-27-2009, 04:35 PM

There was music on that video. It was provided by Audio Swap, though.

You might be thinking of a video I uploaded a few days ago. That one used the audio swap feature.

The video I uploaded last night did not have any extra audio added to it.

Why not use vimeo or someone else? I think everyone knows by now YouTube is being Wee-Todd-Ed, so go somewhere less mentally-challenged.

Ihmhi · 02-27-2009, 10:57 PM

FF makes use of WeGame, Vimeo, Veoh, GameVee, Google Video, and a few other sites. Use those.

Demasu · 02-27-2009, 11:10 PM

It was flagged because EA says it doesn't want videos of its stuff if the person uploading it doesn't have written consent from them. I find it pretty simple to understand. Doesn't mean I like it, I've had a few videos taken down and one muted because of shit like that, but I understand why it happened even though I hate it.

IMO, that's stupid. It's not an advertisement, EA! Nor is it stopping your plan for world domination!

Nor is L4D involved in any way with EA.

Left 4 Dead was distributed by Electronic Arts for retail sales.

I don't see how this gives them power to bar players from making recordings. You would expect only Valve to have that power. All EA did was distribute copies?

Well, I agree. It is total bullshit. You paid presumably $50.00 for a game and can't even make a fan video which obeys copyright laws. You can't enjoy in more than one sense something you paid for with your own damn money.

Companies like to talk about how the customer is ripping them off with illegal downloads and such, but fail to mention how they rip off their legitimate customers with such actions. It's like Gun Control. It only worsens the problem.

~kev~ · 03-02-2009, 08:13 PM

I got a reply from Steam support.

The introduction video of left 4 dead is copyright protected. They do not want that certain video reproduced and posted on youtube. Everything else is ok.

Iggy · 03-02-2009, 09:13 PM

That seems retarded...... it's a really good trailer for the game, and may get people to buy it. Oh, wait.... I forgot what country I was in....

~kev~ · 03-12-2009, 07:20 PM

It seems that valve removed the extra damage hunters do when they are on fire.

Approve or disapprove?
