Left 4 Dead 2 Catch All

Nivek - feel free to friend me on Steam (I can't seem to find your profile from my mobile app).

The versus games are the best with GWJ'ers but I think they're much better _AFTER_ you've played through the maps co-op at least once. Even if you don't get a full group of 4, playing with human partners is generally better than the 'bots. I'll gladly join you for some spoiler-free team play if I'm available. I still love this game and promise to never purposely set you on fire (unlike some -ahem- Australians [size=4](Lars)[/size])

Absolutely, I recommend playing through co-op with humans before considering versus. You can learn the maps and get the story (such as it is) much better in co-op. I got FTFY'd for apparently not suggesting that he jump right into versus, but I'll stand by my statement.

Come on, it's OG. He was probably drunk when he quoted you.

I'd totally be up for some co-op, as well. Versus games are great, but they also have the very real potential to be disappointing. Balance issues, and such.

Would someone mind adding me to the steam group?
I have some work to do this weekend, but I should have time to play next weekend.

(Edit) Forgot my steam id its IHateDRM75.

Well, any game with Hyetal in it (co-op or vs) will be disappointing. Balance issues, and such.

Oh you.

What, you can't take a compliment?

See? This is the kind of prolific, caring, but ultimately toxic friendship you can garner by playing L4D2 Versus.

It's great.

But it's got balance issues, and such.

Yeah, and Hyetal's a jerk. :p

Sure, but I'm a Norwegian jerk.

Let's face it, that's better.

I think at some point I got booted from the Steam group, probably for not having internet for 10 months? Anyway, add me back.

I'm going to try reinstalling to fix my "steam will not let you add custom anything to L4D2" issue...

invites sent

I'm not sure that you guys would want me to join you - I have a bad habit of shooting boomers up close.

Oh. So you're scared. We get it. You're afraid. Totally understand.

You're a chicken.

A yellow chicken. A big, cowardly, yellow chicken.

Fair enough, man.

Yes, a chicken, and a terrible shot.

Don't roll over like that! It's not funny, and it does not complement my playful remark!

Way to go Hyetal.

Really, don't sweat it. The great thing about GWJ is apart from some good(jer)-natured ribbing we tend to be patient and just have fun. L4D is at its best when you're playing with a few other folks. If you're concerned just say you're new to the game and people will totally be cool with that. Don't be afraid to send out an event to the group or invite people from this thread, with a message that you want to get your feet wet. The L4D action isn't what it once was around here, but I know for a fact most folks will go out of their way to play with someone who is new. There are a lot of folks around here for which L4D was an obsession, and the siren call never quite goes away

Scheduled events would probably have a better turn out than random VS lobbies, these days.

Hey I just realized i'm not in the l4d2 group can i get an invite?

Also Roo with the vpk files you never have to install them, or double click on them just dump then in the aforementioned folder and you should be good to go...After you try the reinstall let us know the current status.

No joy as far as I can tell. Under Extras/Add-ons it still tells me i have nothing there.

So ya'll have to invite me to non-custom stuff. That's all I'm sayin'.

I do that all the time.

It's all in how you frame it.

I still think I should get a Steam achievement for that...

You jerks should set up more events and versus games, I want to get some zombie/people killing done!

[size=1]I guess I could do it too, but I hope there's some interest.[/size]

Still waiting on an invite to the Steam group. I'm way down for more L4d2 action, as well as trying out new custom maps. Been having a lot of fun on new fan made campaigns.

For some reason I don't have the option to invite you to the GWJ group. Odd. Sure It's a me-thing.

Someone else probably invited him and he just hasn't accepted yet. Another invite can't be sent unless he declines it.

Yeah I invited him earlier when I saw the post. Guess I should have posted so no one else wasted their time.

Man, I'm jonesin' for some brains lately. Everyone meet me in game at like 11:30pm Eastern tonight.

Ouch, even an hour behind Eastern that is pretty late what with tomorrow being a work day.
