I need to clear Death Toll and Dead Air on expert. Either of those sound good? Might be long, though.

That's exactly the link I needed. Have had serious trouble figuring out versus the few times I've tried it.

I can play l4d online as well, on 360 that is.. I've cleared all the campaigns on expert but its still my favorite mode in the game. Versus often centers on camping in pretty much invincible positions( no mercy chpt 5...), instakill smoker spots and a few glitches, so I dont really like it. Also the tanks feel way too weak there, an ok team is able to kill one without taking pretty much any damage (because they're not seperated, the tank player rarely matters)

Versus is the meat of the game. If you get into it, there's a good chance you won't go back to campaign very often. You need a big group of people to play with though because the public games are only as good as you would expect.

No problem, guy. Yeah let's throw down on Expert. Bring Zaarock since he's legit in campaign. I'm a much better Versus player, but I shoud be competent enough.

When are you guys free so we can sync up for this?
I can't tonight, but I'm usually free to go Mon-Fri 6pm EST to whenever.

Weekends my free time is random, but I can prolly get available.

Lemmie know.

Yeeep, this is what happened to me.

Versus and [adv.-exp] Campaign are just different beasts. Gotta play the Tank as support and not like the CPU to do well with it. Yeah there's the instant kill stuff, but there's only 4 places Smokers can really pull that off. Faking the player Smoker out to avoid each one is not too hard. Otherwise besides the blocking elevator and sewer cheats (or to say, just don't play No Mercy) the rest of the Verses game is fine. Just gotta deal with morons, but I pretty much only do friends games now.
Anyway, you're a badass campaign player. Sorry I couldn't hang around long last time. I'm down to roll with you again.

ill be lurking around 11:00-20:00 GMT on the weekend, gotta study but if we can set up a time I should be able to play. Next week I got some exams so I probably wont be able to play the same time as you guys.

Death Toll was the hardest campaign for me on expert sort of, though that might be largely due to other players(I got a pro friend most of the time though) Dead Air is supposedly the easiest one, though the levels feel somewhat long so you might get unlucky or wear out due to allies wasting health :lol:

That time I had to leave by the 2nd or 3rd level. Were you guys able to finish the rest?

Yeah, shows I really shouldn't say anything. With that said, I'll probably throw up a Geometry Wars 2 review tomorrow just to have something new. Maybe I'll finish the L4D video after, but it's so pointless that I don't know.

Hah, I didn't even notice. I guess my connection is always bad. Games disconnect far too often with L4D. Can't wait to try out the new mode anyways, and keep trying to get that Lamb 2 Slaughter and Nothing Special.

Left 4 Dead has got a DLC coming out.

I don't see any DLC coming out for the football helmets.

durrr waiting in line for quake live! Your position in line is 20000 of 20000.

Besides, Team Fortress 2's scout update mostly makes the game a more than adequate replacement for the Quake style of game, anyway. Just give it some coop and free-for-all DM and we'll be ready to go.

Wow, this is just all wrong, Ed. Quake Live has no queue, TF2 doesn't play like Quake 3....

I haven't run into it and I thought they posted that it was just flat-out disabled. Maybe it was, and they reinstated it, or I was just wrong.

But what's really just wrong is comparing TF2 to Quake 3.

Yeah, now people who actually played scouts have realized that it's pointless to unlock anything, everyone's a pyro.
