I know you can join a server directly using that, but can we have our entire lobby join a server that way?

btw, thanks for posting that poster. I may be altering it.

here we go.

ah....Shiny and I went out of our way to get Akimbo Assassin and the one where you don't piss off any witches (forget the name). We haven't had much of a chance to play lately, though. Looking forward to some more group play.

I played quite a lot of L4D over the holidays...some of that together with Satis and Shiny, fun times. Including a legendary versus with Satis where the tank appeared REALLY early in the level (No Mercy, the inside of the hospital) and we decided to just wait it out in the safe room and shoot it from there. Bad idea. It smashed right through the freaking door! But we killed it pretty easily anyway, and finished the level in record time with minimal damage.

other findings (for those who weren't there):

- apparently what J mentioned re: the door in the loading bay area in the second level of no mercy: it can be opened by repeatedly shoving it (we did it in one game), but apparently not in every game. Weird glitch. Will investigate more.

- When playing as a tank on the construction area on the 4th level of No Mercy, I incapacitated 3 out of 4 survivors with the 4th hiding in the safe room. The others were still dying so the game didn't end, and he wasn't dumb enough to leave the room. I couldn't break the door like what happened to us earlier...BUT I could throw rocks through the door and hit the guy inside, in some angles. Good to know, right? I think the door can only be smashed open by the tank at the start of a level, if the survivors take too long to leave the room...not at the end. Similarly, I've seen the safe room door open automatically in versus when we didn't leave the room fast enough.


Other than that we're getting better and better at the game, imho. Runs on advanced are pretty smooth, save for the freaking tank appearances. We especially seem to suffer in the finales.

J, stop teaching and play more L4D hehehe

I got my OCD groove on yesterday and collected a few achievements, like man vs tank, back 2 help, safety first and field medic.

Got most achievements that can be done with AI now - expect for cr0wned which I somehow manage to fuck up every freaking time. Any tips?

Left to do:

Big Drag (versus achievement)
All 4 Dead (versus achievement)
Lamb 2 slaughter (versus achievement)
Cr0wned (I suck)
Zombicidal Maniac (need real players)
Untouchables (need real players)
Stomach upset (need real players)
Nothing Special (need real players)
What are you trying to prove (definitely need real players
Red Mist (matter of time)
Zombie Genocidest (idem)

You guys desperate for some? We could help each other out for sure.

I need a decent number of those...I need the achievement where you don't use a health kit for an entire movie. Unfortunately, with bots they keep trying to heal me and there's no way to stop them. Really irritating. I'm up for trying some of those.

Regarding crowned, you need to run up to her and basically wait for her to almost stand up, then shoot her in the face with the shotgun. It still takes some effort to get it right, but it's possible.

Yea, sounds good to me. I was up this weekend but Shiny kept me busy. Good idea on some of those bot runs... I may need to try that.

Not my fault - and you go to play some.... truthfully I am almost afraid to play because I get so frustrated with my computers performance right now - yes I know I need to wipe the box but I seriously don't have the time or really want to make the time right now. And you can not blame me for going to the doctor - you were the one that forced me to go.... not that it was not sweet - although I have a feeling it was more you were tired of hearing me cough.
