The Left 4 Dead games are glitched to fuck!

guise, i have all weekend off, am I allowed to play too?

[capncnut]

Bah. game has frustrated me to f**k....!!!! Why's that, Symph? guise, i have all weekend off, am I allowed to play too? Sure, let me know when you're up for a round.

Why's that, Symph? it feels so much harder than before, and this isn't helped by finding it really hard to connect to a good game. When I do finally get into one, people usually leave after getting incap'd after their first go...so I'm left with four bots, on expert, mid-level. my main problem though is the frustrating system of finding a game to join. I don't do "join in progress" simply because I wont get the achievement for completing a campaign on Expert if I start from level 2...which means I HAVE to find a lobby - and that's really frustrating on it's own, as people area always kicking, stalling, or just going away and making their dinners before starting the game.. And then it's always laggy anyway... Good game though, its just not enough to keep me interested...most of it feels like an addition rather than part of another game. I feel like I've paid 40 quid for five extra maps... Ellis is hilarious though...actually reminds me of Roger for some reason...

You'll generally find me, Andy, Mo, Coin, whoever having a blast. Plus now I have most of the campaign achievements, I'm up for a round on expert. Edit: Also, switch it to your server, that will reduce the lag drastically. The Valve one sucks ass!

dude, your lucky you can even PLAY it online. i put my disk in, had an instant patch and now get "cannot find joinable game" regardless of any changes, and theres nothing i can do about it, i have yet to play this game multiplayer.

I had the instant patch too but it hasnt seemed to fuck things up for me. Sure it can get a bit laggy sometimes but that's about it.

I had the instant patch too but it hasnt seemed to fuck things up for me. Sure it can get a bit laggy sometimes but that's about it. from what i hear its like 20% are fucked the rest are fine. mine isnt fine. and you know what this really needed? way more achievements. i have like 4 left in the campaigns, ive got like 15 in the original still after a year. they put 99 in the orange box and they are a hoot, granted the avatar awards sort of count it up to 55, but theres so many things they could have carried over again, or added new stuff in based on new items and stuff, like you can boomer bile one random common infected and have the horde turn on it, that should totally be one of those "get ten of" achievements.

They need one where like, you use a baseball bat to knock a zombies head off, and that zombie head incapacitates a team mate or kills a hunter leaping in mid air or something.
