Left 4 Dead 2 Catch All

I love the defibrillators so much.

If it brought you back black and white with 50 temporary health, I think that'd be perfect. You'd still be extremely vulnerable (in other words, punished for doing whatever stupid thing got you killed), you'd still need a first aid kit to get back into fighting condition, and it'd be less "do over!" and more "might make it, maybe."

All told, I miss the pills-only server.

Agreed, though I think in L4D2 the medpacks aren't as gamebreaking as the L4D1 medpacks could be, they can still be annoying but I think at pills only it would just make the survivors have to play perfectly while the infected wouldn't really have to coordinate anymore.

Wiping an survivor is such a great feeling, to then find out they have a defib is a huge hit. I mean, you just took one of them down after a lot of teamwork and coordination, only to look and see that same jerk walking around again. The nerve.

But I don't think a pills only mod would work for L4D2. There have been way too many times I have used a medpack while still in sight of the safe room we just left. This game is brutal, and I like the choice you have to make sometimes of medpack or defib. Taking the defib almost announces your intentions to fail.

See, I'm more on Team Survivor than Team Infected. It's such a great feeling on the survivor side to get pounded on and then to fight your way back, and pull out the defibs just knowing that you're making some zombie bastard cry. It's the best thing in the game. Plus the choice to go without a medkit is a tough one, and it's awesome when it pays off.

Yeah, making lobster cry is really why I do this... also why I do his mum!

I'm all about Team Infected. I can have great survivor experiences, but I am far more successful and get far more satisfaction from Infected.

On the twelfth day of the zombie apocalypse, the Director gave to me

12 boomers puking
11 jockeys humping
10 hunters pouncing
9 smokers pulling
8 spitters spitting
7 chargers charging
6 yards from the safe room
5 EXPERT RUNS
4 immune survivors
3 health kits
2 tanks at a time
and a 'nade launcher incaps us all.

Merry Z-mas!

LOOK OUT! There's a jock...

Very nice, Cyranix! Merry Z-mas to you too!

Ok Guys, time for you to take matter into your own hands and take some serious vindictive action against The Man. Yes, let's stop this "Feeank Can't Play L4D2 For The Man Won't Let Him" craziness once and for all, as it has come to my attention, L4D2 is 33% off for just one weenie hour or so more, I need a brave soul to take the leap, buy the damn thing for me as a gift now, and I'll graciously pay him with a 35$ amazon gift Card. So, What say you?

...WHAT SAY YOU?!!!

If you look at the top-center of the page you can see the outline of Mogg getting smokered, just barely.

Twas a good game guys. Merry Christmas.

I'll hook you up. Just added you to my Friends list on Steam. Accept so I can send it your way.

Oh, and Merry Christmas.

Merry zombie Christmas to all! (Except dirty dingo whores, of course)

I knew I could count on you guys, thanks for all of you that jumped up and asked, Camnipotent and Puma, Ruki gets the bigger thank you cookie, THANK YOU RUKI!

Now....where's my Chainsaw Maaa??

I also feel in a giving mood. For the next 27 minutes L4D2 is still a low price. So I'll gift that to the next person who wants it. If the time passes before anyone answers, I'll gift another game of equal value.

What is this nonsense?

In case you're talking to me, I just want to give a lucky gwjer a zombie-filled Christmas.

Yes, all this Steam announcing silliness.

Hmm. I guess those who wanted it, have it. Well, still 15 minutes left. So if you know a gwj dude that doesn't have L4D2 yet, tell him to get on the forums quick-like.

Seems so, though the giving spirit is appreciated, Maybe you could check out the Secret Santa thread?

I suspect that Christmas mornings, a lot of folks are definitely *not* reading the forums. ;>

I'm rather amazed that my four year old niece isn't a one-girl wrapping-paper apocalypse right now. I guess my sister's "get the kids up early on Christmas Eve so they sleep well" strategy payed off. This year, anyway.

Very generous of you, Andor! I'd jump on it, if I didn't already have it.

Finally got L4D2, so I can stop ignoring Tamren's invites.

Ah... the holidays really bring the best out in people..

..also the holidays bring us fresh meat for Scav and VS! Dammit, I'm no where near a computer that can play l4d2

P.S. On behalf of everyone on the l4d gwj group I would like to welcome feeank and Faceless Joe to L4D2. Welcome to the world of sexual innuendos when you get face-humped by the Jockey or pounded by the Charger

Hey guys, there's a new achievement being released on Monday.

I don't know why it looks like a TF2 achievement. Weird...

But Monday night, I'm back in a big way.

Sorry I lagged out there, guys. Had some strange stuttering issue.

Other people have said they've had those problems. Don't feel bad, Coach did really well. And by really well I mean that he teleported through a wall because he couldn't figure out how to go up some steps and over a roof.

Not sure where to find this info, but I'd like an invite to the L4D2 Steam group, please.

Also, I'm looking for 2 more players for Saturday, Dec 26th, for standard co-op play vs one of the new stories. We have 2 people so far, and need 2 more. I'm U.S. eastern time, and my friend is U.S. central.

I've invited you, Jeff. Make sure you join the regular GWJ group, too. If for no other reason than solidarity.

Edit: When you've joined, someone will promote you to admin, and you can post announcements from the group page. That'll probably get you a few people for your game.

Thanks to Andor, I'll be up for some L4D2 this weekend.
Should I play solo to learn how to play or just hop in a la TF2 and hope for the best?
I never played L4D1.

Edit: Also, could I get a SteamGroup invite? Thanks!

I've invited you to the GWJ L4D group. Once you're promoted, you can post announcements. Garner as many L4D-playing friends as possible through this new-found power, and you will never be short people to play with.

I highly suggest you play co-op. The bots can be quite annoying.
