[Flickerdart]

Oh, by the way, add me on Steam, guys. Flickerdart there too, but I only have L4D2 out of all the games you guys play.

Get someone to invite you to the L4D2 Steam Group.

Get someone to invite you to the L4D2 Steam Group.

Can't you do it?

[Player_Zero]

You can apparently only invite friends.

On an unrelated L4D2 note, incapacitated suvivors take more damage when the other survivers are further away from them, right? Or is it not within a line of sight?

[AlterForm]

I've just noticed my new account isn't in all the various ChHa groups that pop up every week or so. I'd appreciate invites to anything I don't belong to already (especially the L4D2 group).

Really? We must test this. FOR SCIENCE.

Similarly, I also heard that if the Hunter is pushed off a survivor in a specific direction, it may randomly do a barrel-roll and recover instantly, allowing it to pounce again/run away quickly. Is this true?

Yes. This happens often, in fact.

[Scuzzball]

Well, I was gone for a week, missed thirty plus pages on the server and steam threads each, and one got a new thread. On the plus side, I now have Serious Sam HD 1 and 2. Anyone mind telling me what happened to the server admins and plugins?
EDIT: Bad wording there, what changed with the server plugins and admins in the past week. That was the meaning.

[Valaqil]

GAH! L4D2 was 10$! And I missed it! *rage*

Fine! If it's still at 20 on payday, I'm getting it. I want in on the zombie killin'.

*rage*

Never heard of this game mechanic before. incapacitated takes less damage except the hunter as far as i know.

I hold f while pounced and I seem to be able to always insta pounce again if pushed.

[QUOTE=drolkcal;8795282]Never heard of this game mechanic before. incapacitated takes less damage except the hunter as far as i know.[quote]

I believe this is correct. I'm not sure about the less damage though...I think it's just the health buffer at work, although common infected might deal 1 damage instead of 2.

I hold f while pounced and I seem to be able to always insta pounce again if pushed.

I think this is coincidence. I'm pretty sure it's dependent upon the angle of the hit.

[Player_Zero]

One thing I didn't know: frag rounds actually explode in realism. You can stagger yourself with them.

Best thing about frag rounds, you shoot them at your feet in any mode, you take damage. Only staggers in Realism though.

This is why we can't have nice things, because people do stupid things and shoot at their feet all the damn time.

[AlterForm]

But there might be zombies there!

Ah, yes! The hunter roll. It only works if the survivors hit the hunter from the "Left" hip. Anywhere else he will just stumble.

Taken from the L4D wiki: The Hunter's roll, a very rare occurrence in Left 4 Dead, has been made more common. If the Hunter is shoved off his victim in the left hip, he may perform a back roll and be ready to pounce again in about a second. The Hunter can perform this move in any and all game modes.

I actually frequently shoot zombies in the feet, just to avoid friendly fire.

I guess you could tell them to, hop off.

Also, you could tell your mates to leg it.

Oh Byrnbot, you and your silly jokes. This is why we love you, aside from taunting us after a headshot.

[Smiling-Jack]

HOLY CRAP MAX PAYNE SERIES AT £2.50!

What, so whenever you're around zombies, something's afoot?

Yeh... I don't... That was terrible.

[ZeroNumerous]

I frequently shoot zombies in the center mass. If someone get in front of me it's their own fault when they get shot.

[Bryn]

I has a Steam account! Mine user is cezyou. or cezyou91, I'm not quite sure.
I has KF, TF2, and L4D2.

Oh, by the way, add me on Steam, guys. Flickerdart there too, but I only have L4D2 out of all the games you guys play.

You have both been invited to the appropriate groups. I'm assuming you have L4D2 cezyou since I invited you to the GitP L4D2 group.

We will replace any fingers lost in the first week. After that, it's your own responsibility. Welcome aboard!

[blackfox]

I usually end up crouching and using my ninja sword skillz for just that reason. Of course, any game I play ends up in purposeful griefing anyways but that's not the point.

Actual point: If I'm ahead, I crouch, if I'm behind, I stand, or hop up on something. It usually avoids a decent amount of friendly fire.

[tarbrush]

Can someone invite me to the Killing Floor group please?

EDIT: Thanks!

[Falgorn]

Ooh, I have a Steam account, with only three games. Sid Meier's Pirates, Civilization III, and Guild Wars.
So, I can't really do anything.

To quote the Heavy on this:

"You feel shame, yes?"

Get either Team Fortress 2 or Left 4 Dead 1 or Left 4 Dead 2. They're on sale as you know. Then we can talk shop.

Hey Playground, I've got a problem and could use some advice.

I play video games not just to have fun, but also out of obsessive behavior. It's a big release for me to be able to log onto Steam, launch a Valve game, and pursue the easiest achievement I don't yet have. It's goal based and that relaxes me. Anyway.

Currently I'm attempting the L4D 1 Achievement Lamb2Slaughter. I am at my wit's end on how to get this achievement. I know some of you are quite good and was wondering if anyone had sage advice on how to earn this achievement legitimately?

Thanks in advance.

Play against a bad team? I really don't know how I got it.

If anyone needs Outbreak, I've got it.

I don't play L4D1 (only L4D2), but here goes.

This is a very dependent achievement, and one that will be hard to do against any random pub team. It relies on a team getting TO the saferoom, and deciding to come back out. This it incredibly difficult, as most players will heal up in the saferoom before coming back out to help stricken allies, and few will help stricken allies unless they know them personally.

You're going to have to incap a player near the saferoom, while that player is far enough back that his allies think it's better to stock up in the saferoom before going back for their friend. It's going to be very, very hard, and not something you can really try for.

Sorry.

Have a very slow friend join the game with you and leave him/her behind?
