L4D released.

Post by weemadando »

No that's not a typo. They finished releasing the game.

I just messed around in Survival and it was good. There will be more of that.

I need to make Silver Standard, but for that I need a team of not retards and luck.

Yeah, it's nice to have the versus campaigns which should have been in from the start.

That said, I'm loving survival. People really do suck at it though, and I'm not surprised. Need to get together with friends or get an SDN group and get some golds.

Is this one of those "Australia gets screwed on everything" threads? Or did Valve make another mod? :)

My best on Survival is about 5 minutes and 15 seconds on the Generator Room. That was with just me and one halfway decent person, so with a full good team, I should be able to do pretty well.

I also like Dead Air and Death Toll on Versus, though I don't understand why they weren't in there to begin with.

I've played a couple of survival rounds so far and we managed lose just 40 seconds from silver on the boathouse map. It's quite fun but the pace wears me out quite quickly. Dealing with triple hunters or double smokers can be really difficult.

I got into a nice all-Finn team on my first go, and the result was gold from Generator Room and Gas Station :) .

Try double tanks :D .

Managed to hold out for nearly 15 minutes on the Terminal portion of Dead Air. The zombies come at you from a limited angle giving incredible defensive depth against them. We did this on our first try.

I've only played on the actual Last Stand map thus far. I'm not sure about strategy - retreating to the roof is good against the bog-standard zombies, but leaves you dangerously vulnerable to the super-zombies, especially the tank who will smash you in the ocean.
