    I play :)

    Do you have it on PC?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,750 ✭✭✭liah


    I'm on PC and I'm always looking for new people to play with--Left4Dead 2 is one of those games where it's best if you have people to talk to.

    Feel free to add me to steam if you have it, my add s/n is scrubsftw. :)

    I propose we do a campaign on expert later :D Shouldn't be too hard with 4 people.

    For some inexplicable and infuriating reason, my game kept minimizing mid-game. I've no idea why, either, nothing on my computer has changed since the last time I played, other than the fact that I was playing on the monitor instead of the projector, which shouldn't've made a difference.

    Either way, I'll figure it out at some stage so invite me if you guys need someone! I have a mic, but it doesn't work in game, only in vent or literally anything that isn't the game (:rolleyes:). Do any of you have a ventrilo?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,551 ✭✭✭swiftblade


    Ahh ventrilo. That brings back memories. No mic anymore, sadly. Got rid of it long ago when my clanning days were over :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,005 ✭✭✭Creature


    D'oh I see you already have four. Well if you want a fifth for whatever reason gimme a shout. I'll add you all. I'm Neptune.

    If we got a few more we could have a game of Versus :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,750 ✭✭✭liah


    Oh yeah, I should've mentioned-- I only ever play versus. I really get bored with anything else. Sometimes there's an update I'll play but it's rare, I love playing as Infected so versus is the one for me.

    We can still play versus even if we can't get 8, just stay on one team and go up against pubbers. Not AS fun, but still better than average.

    L4D2 is one of my favourite games, I <3 it. I preferred the survivors in 1 though, particularly Francis.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,750 ✭✭✭liah


    If there's 4 of you on at 11:30 (Ireland time) let me know on steam (my name is displayed as scheisse!, the add name again is scrubsftw), I've got 4 friends on and I'd be up for versus!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,532 ✭✭✭Ginja Ninja


    My pc won't run the game, but just sayin' there's a Boards.ie steam group you can join if you want to get some people playing

    search for boards or boardsies,not sure which


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,137 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    Just so anyone who was there last night knows, I was Reznov :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,750 ✭✭✭liah


    You were the only boardsie besides me :pac: And the only Irish person..

    Will try again for another game tonight, I'll have to pick out a less computer-killing map so my computer doesn't commit suicide again, and hopefully everyone's internet'll stop crapping out for awhile.. feel free to join. :)


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,137 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    Cool, I'll be up for it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,551 ✭✭✭swiftblade


    I'll be up for that too :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,341 ✭✭✭Fallschirmjager


    crap back to work tomorrow and have to drive from 5.30am...

    enjoy the zombie fest!

    Recent purchase for me.

    Add me of you fancy, added Liah yesterday but haven't gotten around to a game yet. Usually play either campaign or versus.

    Seeing the survivors panic after a perfect infected attack in Versus is probably one of the best gaming experiences ever!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,750 ✭✭✭liah


    I made a group on steam for a small group of people I know and/or are from Boards for L4D2-- if you see anyone online in this group, they have L4D2 and may be up for a game. If you don't wanna do that, message me and I'll try to get something going.

    It's invite only, so after awhile we'll all kinda know each other, which I think is nicer than playing with strangers, at least in a game like L4D2.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,624 ✭✭✭✭Fajitas!


    Yeah, knowing the guys your playing with makes a big difference in L4D2.

    Would you mind if I invited another Boardsie that won't see this in here? He's a good guy :)

    Invite anyone you want, as long as they have L4D2 and are sound and up for playing they're welcome. :)

    Heh, I finished off that game in Parish. It was really close (due to 2 pubs practically jumping off the bridge on my team..), and we were the Infected. It looked like we were about to lose, so naturally 2 of the pubs ragequit. Within 30 seconds, I spawned as a tank, and incapped 3 people at once with a car.

    Damnit - you guys are making this sound like too much fun. Going to have to buy this game now.... :D

    anyone got any recommendation for the rock concert chapter....i can only complete that on easy...anything above that and its a fail for the most part...


    is it better to all stick together and climb the lighting rigs, stay on seperate lighting rigs, stay on the stage area, stay over where the chopper comes...any recommendations....i tried fecken everything except what works...i know it depends on the team but i have been playing with some pretty good players and it turns into a fail most times...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,750 ✭✭✭liah


    At the end of Dark Carnival, basically just stick together (like always, running away from the pack is a very stupid idea in L4D2!), and where you are doesn't matter; I tend to like to have my back to a wall so I stay up top, above the stairs where the wall is kind of in an [ shape (but horizontally.. hopefully you know what I'm talking about), keep my back to the corner, and it's all gravy from there. Collect molotovs along the way to set the tanks alight when they come, makes the job a lot easier.

    Never go in too confined an area or too open one, and if possible keep your back to walls or corners.

    Most important of all, keep communication lines open with your teammates and try to intuit what they're doing/going to do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,624 ✭✭✭✭Fajitas!


    I like taking a platform for the of Dark Carnival, 2 on top platform, 2 on bottom platform, bottom two get supplies or any running work, and are covered by the two on top. Top and bottom swap when more ammo is needed :)

    Game last night was good fun - Fancy a go of The Sacrifice tonight?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,137 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    I'll try and play, hopefully I'll have a better ping. Kinda nightmare-ish last night.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,750 ✭✭✭liah


    I'm game as always.

    Hopefully Willburtino won't suffer a heart attack in a lift this time...


    Was a serious 'Wtf!?!?! But we just got past all the bad guys!?!'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,031 ✭✭✭Cravez


    I would be up for a game sometime :)

    Steam name is Cravez


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,341 ✭✭✭Fallschirmjager


    name change...now 'falls' on steam...

    That was funny as hell. I got stuck climbing up beside the elevator, and then Francis just died for no obvious reason.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,750 ✭✭✭liah


    I don't suppose there's anyone up for a game now, I didn't get a chance to play last night and am craving a game but there's not many on my steam list at the moment..


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,137 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    Can't atm, at college so no games =/


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,419 ✭✭✭tommy21


    Anyone have this for Xbox - played it on my friend's and loved it, but have no interest in playing alone on campaign mode so didn't buy it, I would do though if there were a few interested in campaign mode or online play or whatever on Xbox? Tag: iawaitdeathirl


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 152 ✭✭HooterSnout


    I have it on Xbox, missing 4 acheivements I think. I still play versus a lot for fun. Add me gt HooterSnout and add a message like boards.ie or something.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,341 ✭✭✭Fallschirmjager


    okay i need help. i have got a bit better at this but and its a big but

    always seem to wind up with a couple of french dudes who feck off on solo runs for some reason. teamwork not a big thing in france it appears....

    any chance i could ask 3 other players to assist in the rock concert and the boat escape episode on the higher levels to show me how it should be done?

    also whats the trick to killing the tank with a melee weapon...always seem to get a right good kicking when i try that.

    Easiest way to get Tank Burger is to wait until the Mutation that only allows the use of the Chainsaw, it'll take it down pretty quick. They are going through the original mutations again now, so it should come back up eventually.
