Forums - PC - Left 4 Dead demo early look confirmed for 2AM PST tomorrow

Well I've confirmed one thing for certain =/

Most people suck at this game /sigh. I had people running way ahead, never ducking to help with line of fire for those behind them, using medkits at 75+ health so they could grab another one while someone else was already very low, completely ignorant of their melee bash, refusing to share medkits, running ahead to piss off the witch and then train her into the group trying to deal with a mini-finale, completely ignoring helpless players with smokers/hunters pinning/strangling them and just pressing forward anyways, shooting boomers at point blank and/or in the middle of the group, running into unexplored areas to escape the tank, tossing Molotovs/pipe bombs on/near survivors, etc...etc...

And I've only played 2 games thus far =/

The level of cooperation in pick-up groups is significantly lower than I had thought it might be, but this is only day one at least. This game is going to be all about friends/clans/etc... because joe-random pick-up player is going to really be frustrating..and in some cases it may be easier just to shoot them yourself =P

A testament to the game is that despite all of these frustrating circumstance it's still immensely fun, even when you're dealing all of the BS of joe-randim pick-up player..it makes you play that much harder to try to make up for it.

I agree, let's get a VGC group of zombie killers going cause some of these people are genuinely fools.

Around the Network

Now that we figured out how to join specific servers, I have a feeling playing with friends will be much easier.

I think it might be my internet connection or something, but I often have to refresh a few times in order to load more servers...maybe when I host a game I never find a dedicated server because of that?

Connecting to a specific server will be better.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

How do you connect to specific servers?

type openserverbrowser in the console. You get to the console like other source games, pressing `. You have to turn on the console first by going through options, keyboard and mouse...something else, I can't remember.

My desktop gets the blue screen of death when I boot it up ;_;

What are you booting up...?  The demo isn't unlocked for play yet.

 

 I meant when I boot up the desktop

 

I wanna get the PC version so I can play with you guys and get mods... wonder if it'll work on my laptop...



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Oh man that's MUCH better. It kept putting me in PW protected servers too. How do people host servers for this anyways?
