Re: L4D patched!
I updated to new client, but am having issues seeing TG servers or joining lobbies. Was playing fine before upgrade. Thoughts?

Re: L4D patched!
I just played my full first versus game and I have to say it really is wonderful. There is so much more teamwork on the infected side even amongst public players due to the increased amount of HUD information.
Also, I felt legitimately scared throughout some of the matches, and we won by the skin of our teeth so many times I think they might really be onto something here with the balance.
The game's fun factor really just quadrupled for me, a normal versus game is just as scary as Expert now.

Re: L4D patched!
I'm just glad to see the smoker got an overhaul. I HATED (well, that's kind of strong, but I wouldn't play the smoker if I had a CHOICE) the smoker before.
>Reduced autoshotgun damage against Tanks
I wonder how much? will this make it harder for the survivors on that one level of hospital to just all shottie up if the tank comes early, wait at the end of the hall and waste him?
>Fixed team swap issue
YES!"Sympathy means a lot, coming from Kulmar. I didn't think it was possible.
Good luck getting rid of your disease. If you're infected, though, stay away--I can't afford to be a zombie right now.

Re: L4D patched!
This seems to give an advantage to the team that starts as infected and then knows when the tank is coming during their run as survivors. They can set up gas cans, plan their escape, etc.* Tank spawns at the same % through the map for both teams in versus mode
* Witch spawns at the same % through the map for both teams

Re: L4D patched!
True, same goes with guns. They can see where the weapon spawns are while the first survivors have to search for them.
EDIT: People with ATI cards who get crash when they enter first person (right after game cinematics), valve is aware of this problem and is working on a fix.Last edited by Kebab-Kastike; 01-15-2009 at 05:29 PM.
