If you can add a wepon or wepon attachment what would it be?

Vermilion Foxx — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 06:23:13 GMT

Personaly I would add a wepon attachment. The attachment would be a tatcital knife for the pistol once you get it your carater will be able to run at lighting speed and knife all the zombies in your path but you would have to watch where you fire if you don't have the attachment.

Real Odd Last Man On Earth

Drumrush7 — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 04:34:09 GMT

Just today, I was playing Last Man On Earth on Normal on The Parish Finale, and witnessed several glitches from just this game.

(All glitches on Xbox 360 with no mods)

1. After the Tank hit me with a car, it somehow changed me to third person, but I died in molotov fire.
2. After my only death, no other Specials except for the Tank appeared twice.
3. A Hunter pounced himself into the water of the bridge.

And that's what happened.

The Sacrifice DLC

BillzNoLongerHere — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 08:16:20 GMT

YEAH, I KNOW I POSTED THIS IN L4D1'S SECTION, BUT THE DLC IS FOR LEFT 4 DEAD 2 SO IT WARRANTS THIS TOPIC TOO. Hey guys, it's here! For both L4D1 and L4D2?!? -BillzNoLongerHere(I'm going to have to change my name again)

Rochelle hit box theory?

Acp23 — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 21:03:04 GMT

hey there guys quick question: since Rochelle is the shortest survivor do you guys think she has a slight advantage? example when your going to smoke rochelle off a ledge say Dead center 1 you try to pull her off you think it affects anything? Also if she gets charged since shes skinnier you thinks she can avoid the charge easier than say Coach can because hes a bigger person. Thanks.

Love or Hate for L4D3?

Fifiville — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 01:10:26 GMT

I haven't heard anything about if there is gonna be a L4D3 or not... but i have been reading a lot of negativeness towards it in some forums. A lot of people seem to be disliking the idea of ever seeing a L4D3 and rudely oppose when people even ask about it... Me: I would love a third part. I really have enjoyed part 1 and 2 so i think that if 3 comes out i'll be in love all over again. There's not many games out there that catch my attention in such a level as this one. Before discovering ...

realism mutation?

writerstix — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 12:43:58 GMT

Is it possible to play a mutation with realism on? i can't figure out how to do it. Thanks.

If there is going to be a L4D3 where do think it would take place,survivors names,new infectied(possibly),and DLC's?

Vermilion Foxx — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 18:54:04 GMT

I know its to early to talk about this but i wanna hear your ideas also if L4D3 comes out and a DLC do you think the L4D2 survivors and L4D3 survivors should talk to each other?

Corrupted Wish

redleafedwonder — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 14:37:20 GMT

I can't take credit for this idea. I saw it on another forum. Of course that guy saw it on another forum, who probably saw it on another forum, who...... You get the idea. Annnnnnnyway.... You make a wish the next person grants, corrupts it and makes another. Example: 1-I wish people wouldn't ragequit. 2-Granted, but YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE THE GAME. EVEN WHEN IT ENDS, YOU CAN'T LEAVE. I wish there were more insta-kill spots... And so on in that fashion until we all get bored! I'll ...

Left 4 Dead 3

twothirty7 — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 08:52:12 GMT

a choices between four new survivors or a choice between the 8 original survivors.
what would you prefer?

# zoey [the girl]
# ellis [the funny boy]
# coach [the leader] (+ bill's dead so..)
# francis [the hard ass] ( i like him better than nick )

Doesn't Ellies tell's the best stroys?

I really think that Ellies has the most awesomeness sroty's made on L4D2 lol.

Hard Eight Mutation disappointment

Drumrush7 — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 23:04:16 GMT

The new mutation known as hard eight means playing through campaign mode to fight against twice the amount of special infected.

Worst mutation so far ....

Xrenzco — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 20:54:59 GMT

Hey guys,some of you have complaints about some of the mutation that have been presented over the weeks.so which one was pointless and which one is the best ? The most worst one for me is headshot, its like playing the campaign but you have to hit them in head, boring. The most useful and fun one is last man on earth, it helped me get Still something to prove. (Other players answer may vary so dont get mad if your favorite is another players worst ) <------ HEHEHE farting

Survival Versus?

UpChuckles56 — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 02:43:14 GMT

So tomorrow were supposedly getting our second and long awaited versus mutation! Survival Versus. I have faith Valve won't make it too easy for the infected. If it's good enough maybe they'll make it into a permanent one? Discuss before/after the mutations released?

Versus favoring the Survivors

samhanna — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 17:43:50 GMT

Everyone always talks about how versus favors the survivors. I think that every time you spawn as infected you should get to choose your character from the list of those infected not taken already. This would make the game way more balanced and would let teams set up attacks based on how and where they want to attack.

You should not be allowed to spawn 4 grabber though... What do you think??

A few things I noticed on The Passing DLC

L4dyPaiNe — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 13:32:10 GMT

I finally got the passing and i played through it and i enjoyed it, i personally think its better the crash course. But i was sad to find out it was Bill who didn't make it . I played through a few times and i hoped it was random but it was not. Anyway theres a few things i noticed which i just wanted to share with everyone - the midnight riders song "Bad Man" the lyrics are "Im a half a ton son of a gun with a suitcase full of pistols and money" and on ch2 where you go ...

Create A Special Infected...

ThePunisher — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 19:39:00 GMT

Ok, I don't know if this topic has come up before, but just wanted to ask, if you could make an infected what would it be like and what would it do? Oh and a name for it. Name: Tosser (Shut Up) Appearance: Bigger than the hunter, shorter than the Smoker and smaller than the Charger. Wears pants with one leg torn off and half a shirt. Attack: Run into a group and grab a survivor and throw them in a chosen direction. Auto incapacitation on expert mode. Can be used to throw off high spot ...

New Update is out.

taldan — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 20:40:04 GMT

The new update is out, this means less health packs! This also means the grenade launcher is made even worse! One defib. per map maximum in addition to a 25 point penalty for the use of one! Jockey is stronger, yes! More pills! I like the update so far. No more finding a billion health packs throughout the level. I will miss walking in to the saferoom with 4 defibs. though. Jockey definitely needed a strength boost, so that's another plus. How does everyone else feel about this update?

Last Man On Earth vids

BillzNoLongerHere — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 02:11:46 GMT

I'll let someone else have the honour of posting the Parish's finale one.

Did anyone here actually make a vid for the competition?

Jimmy Gibbs junior - Found club

Xrenzco — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 22:01:29 GMT

This is a little club that I wanna share with you guys. I found Jimmy Gibbs Junior while we were playing dead center finale. It was really cool. He couldn't die until my friend wack him with a across the face with a bat. i just wanna share it with you guys. you could post a message and tell the experience you found when you found Jimmy Gibbs J..
it one in a lifetime opportunity to find that guy and I'm the lucky one.

Glitch!

taldan — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 03:14:58 GMT

I was playing on Hard Rain with some of my friends against Red, Gerbil, Maya, and cyclone. We got to the 4th chapter, my team went first. As we left the safe room we were boomed, I dropped a molotov to light up the horde. We got tri capped, after clearing all the specials we moved on. So far everything normal. Then I see a flaming Jockey run right past me and climb up a house, I shot a few shots into it, but let it go as we kept moving. Shortly after I see a spitter, also on fire. I unloaded ...

Another PC update.

UpChuckles56 — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 02:01:49 GMT

Here's another update recently applied to the PC I copied this from http://www.l4d.com/blog/ While not removing Defibrillators, we have made some changes to them. We scaled dynamic Defibs based on map length. This means unless the Defib was expressly set by the level designer to have more, the Director will only spawn them on a long map. The Director will also cap the number to one per map. Using the Defibrillator is no longer free; there is now a 25 point scoring penalty for using a ...

Diagnosing Disharmony

SpottableCrab — Sat, 29 May 2010 22:24:42 GMT

I think we all agree that team harmony is a major downfall for this game. What causes disharmony though? Team mates being too serious, not serious enough, failing to communicate, not shutting up? I am interested in not only the rant of team mates incompetence, but some sort of cure for it. Any stories out there about how a defective team mate was fixed?

New Update on the way

UpChuckles56 — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 00:33:03 GMT

Valve released an update to the PC version which we'll be getting in our next title update which will be god knows when but it does fix a few problems and generally makes the game better. -Changed Survivorbot item hunting behavior -SurvivorBots now stay closer to human players in all game modes -Fixed Survivorbot navigation issue in The Passing: Riverbank -Fixed bug where a SurvivorBot could become catatonic when attempting to save another Survivor from a Smoker -Fixed condition ...

Mutations and what I think of them

Drumrush7 — Sat, 08 May 2010 00:53:41 GMT

So far, the mutations have been pretty interesting and a worth a few play-throughs. Realism Versus is definitely harder than versus, but adds realism to help benefit. Bleed Outs purpose in The Passing allowed you to get Health packs from the L4D survivors in the finale, but this game mode adds intensity to the gameplay. Follow The Liter is basically Linear Scavenge, but does require more thinking involved in order to get the gas cans. I'll inform you of my take on the new mutations. Check ...

Last Man Alive -Achievements made easy(Expert, Bridge over Trebled Slaughter, Tank Burger)

BillzNoLongerHere — Mon, 31 May 2010 20:39:21 GMT

Loving this week's mutation. Just completed a run on Expert on the Parish, helped a friend get Bridge over Trebled Slaughter(I did it for them basically) and saw someone get Tank Burger easier thanks to this. The Parish finale is a total joke now, which is good for anyone who needs that darn Trebled Slaughter achievement, but also handy for slowpokes like myself who find Expert mode a chore with all those pesky common infected. Better players than myself will surely find expert mode runs ...

Achievement Ideas

zachmagic73 — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 02:28:30 GMT

Hey Everyone! Over the years, I've had a LOT of ideas for achievements. Today, I started jotting a few down. Post your Achievement ideas here! One suggestion is to stay with the L4D standard; each achievement teaches/encourages you to explore different techniques/aspects of the game. And remember to think of the wittiest name possible for your achievement. If it doesn't have a good name, then it sucks. Spit-fire - Ignite 25 gas cans by spitting on them. Midnight Ride - Jockey someone ...

Strength in Numbers ( Team vs Lobby)

Xrenzco — Wed, 19 May 2010 23:11:41 GMT

hey guys. I want to ask a question. I have been trying to get strength in numbers but do you have to be in team vs or could you do it with just going/making a lobby? I tried to do the lobby part but most of the time people would rage quit. i never did team vs before though..... and I have another question..... what happens if you ragequit, leave, or quit on a team vs or can you quit in a team vs.

Online Competitive Strategy Guide

h2o_blix — Mon, 24 May 2010 19:50:55 GMT

Just curious, besides the Valve strategy guide, is there any known competitive strategy guide to l4d2 for each campaign/chapter? A Guide for both survivors and special infected use.

Mutation Ideas

zachmagic73 — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 02:31:54 GMT

Post your ideas for Mutations here!

Left 4 Gnome: All Survivors start with gnomes. Even if they make it to the safe room, the level won't end unless they have their gnome in there. If a player dies, his gnome is no longer required to end the level. Playable in Versus and Campaign.

I really hate to ask this question: Are you a rage quitter?

Drumrush7 — Sat, 08 May 2010 15:26:34 GMT

When I play a match, I expect to play all the way through and never stop. The only reason for me to rage quit is if I'm time constricted, I have somewhere important to go, or I have to be a part of a L4D tournament that just made me most recent game a practice round. The fact is, we all hate rage quitters. When your trying to get an achievement or and avatar award, rage quitters ruin that opportunity. If your having a good match, and your just about to win, rage quitters ruin that too. The ...

Xrenzco — Thu, 13 May 2010 23:43:52 GMT

Hi everyone.I just want to say that everyone hates lag. Last time I played VS on dark carnival where you open the carousel(the thing that has horses that go around). When I started the carousel there there was a big lag.Eventually it stops and now the fence wouldn't open. I pressed the button several times but nothing happened only hordes kept showing up. my team where stuck and had to kill each other just to end the level. Some how the other team did not manage to get the carousel since they ...

Dark Carnival Roller Coaster and Hard Rain "Jesus Wall"

Lt. Aldo Raine — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 10:06:31 GMT

Dark Carnival- Bypass the whole roller coaster and go straight to Saferoom: If you already know how to get on top of the roller coaster, skip this paragraph and proceed to the one saying how to bypass the invisible wall that would block you. Anyways, I can't really describe in words which specfic planks to jump on and run across, but start at the one that you can easily run up. Then, when on the adjacent, horizontal plank, taking a running start and jump about halfway through the plank to ...

The patch; what it did?

BillzNoLongerHere — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 20:40:06 GMT

Aside from the obvious with The Passing, what did the update do? Disabled Baseball bat auto spawn in saferooms Pistols glitch no longer creates zombie slow down, just lags the entire game out Clicking left analog no longer makes your survivor speak. Versus and Scavenge now spawn additonal sp. infected to help unfull teams Added the Blog which is said to be UPDATED THURSDAY WEEKLY. Added Mutations to the list Special Infected teams no longer auto spawn on finales Anything I've missed?

The Passing Chapter 3 Glitch [not the good kind]

zachmagic73 — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 00:10:24 GMT

So we were trying out Mutation today (Realism Versus) and we were destroying this other team. Then when we got to the last level, it loaded up and all my teammates were dead and I was half way up the stairs to the elevator. Then it didn't happen to the other team. So we basically didn't get to play the finale as survivors and lost all those points, but we still won the match. It was a really bad glitch though and they need to fix it.

L4D2 Servers?

zachmagic73 — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 00:06:28 GMT

Anyone playing L4D2 now? We started a lobby and nobody joined. So then we did Team Versus and it couldn't find a matching team. Then we all tried doing quick match and it took us straight to our own lobby. Is nobody playing? Is that possible? Is anyone else having this problem?

L4D2 DLC "The Passing" out this spring. Release date, this week.

Drumrush7 — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 03:37:58 GMT

I was very disappointed by what the DLC had in store, but I still want to get my hands on the new DLC, kick some noob ass, and show my talents as a dedicated L4D player. Better hope this DLC is the same price, or free as CC, otherwise I'll be ultra pissed. Anyway... The all new DLC should release around the same time as XBLA game room. How is excited to play this new DLC?

Mutation theories

writerstix — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 11:41:54 GMT

For those who do not yet know, Mutation is part of one of The Passing's achievements. Since no one yet knows what that means, this is the place to share your opinion/guess/hopes as to what it is.

I think it will be a campaign from the zombies' POV.
