[QUOTE=Lordgeorge16;31291708]Well, I found a defibrillator in Dead Air.

[QUOTE=Reimu;31291040]Actually, there's no bug reporting in L4D2. SPUF is L4D2's bug reporting ( :( ).[/QUOTE] I thought they added a bug report system but for some unknown reason it's only accessible through the console? That's what I read on L4Dwiki anyways..
Holy shit, through blood, sweat and tears, my Brother and I splitscreen'd all the way through Dark Carnival, and saved that Gnome... Chompsky.... damn, you don't even know how many lives you cost. We made it the most dramatic thing ever, he died at the last second carrying the gnome, I pry it off his corpse, jump into the helicopter and sadly watch away as all my friends are dead... and I'm left with a gnome. He and I now wear our xbox avatar Depeche Mode shirts with pride.
Seriously guys, please quit ignoring me. I have an issue with L4D2 where I have no clicky sounds on the menus and whenever I load a campaign it crashes to desktop.
Verify integrity of game cache. Always, always, always try that before asking for help. 75% of the time it will work every time.
I already did that before asking for help. It didn't work.
Biggest problem with Dead Air: THERE'S NO ALERT TEXT! A couple of times a witch would chase one of us, and no-one knew who it was aiming for! Same for car alarms.

Same for car alarms.[/QUOTE]It's more or less the opposite case for me. On the second map, I get the text that says "Pull the lever to lower the crane" when I'm not even near it, like just outside the saferoom.

Hey I'm new to L4D2, and I've been hearing that they're gonna port all the content from L4D1 over to the new game so it's practically useless to get the first one, is that true? [b]Edit:[/b] Thank you for rating me late when I was asking a legit question and mentioned how I was new to L4D2 :rolleyes:
Yep, it's no longer worth getting L4D1. Though, I wonder when Garry will add support for mounting the L4D DLCs (both 1 and 2, I understand that DLC3 and DLC2 only use dx90.vtx's)..
It's not like you can load the L4D2 maps in Gmod anyways.
Hey. How do I use the SV Cheats without having to create a listen server. I want to put it on hard, and kick all the bot survivors and kick all Special Infected, so I can just fight the Infected like a Zombie Movie pretty much. [editline]23rd July 2011[/editline] Hey.

Was it just me or was there a never ending horde of zombies in the second last map? I mean, seriously, we must've spent 5 minutes killing zombies near the statue with the ammo, then we tried to move ahead and they were still coming. They didn't stop, we ended up dying.

However, you can still vote to change the difficulties, enter commands to kick bots and prevent Special Infected from spawning.

I usually scavenge the offices at the beginning but once you hit the event I don't stop running 'till I reach the saferoom. Just try to save a pipebomb next time and use it as an opportunity to escape the biggest cluster.

[QUOTE=Samuka97;31298117]Thank you for rating me late when I was asking a legit question and mentioned how I was new to L4D2 :rolleyes:[/QUOTE] Read your own question. If they're porting all the campaigns to L4D2 then why should you get L4D1? It wasn't a legit question and being "new to L4D2" is a dumb excuse. This is why it wasn't a very intelligent question. You asked "I heard they're putting everything from Y into X. It's therefore useless to get Y because you could easily get X." This isn't just obvious, it's simple addition.

And in my case, muy main Steam buddy has a sucky computer so he can't play L4D2 very well, so we've mostly played L4D1 so far.
Also the versus point system in L4D1 is better than L4D2s'.

[QUOTE=.FLAP.JACK.DAN.;31301431]Also the versus point system in L4D1 is better than L4D2s'.[/QUOTE] Yeah, L4D2's point system is basically about getting through as much of the campaign as possible. L4D1's is about keeping your health high in the process, so there was that focus of "Get the campaign done, but don't get beat up too." There's much more of a focus on survival for that.

[QUOTE=Lordgeorge16;31298818]You pretty much have to do it on a listen server. However, you can still vote to change the difficulties, enter commands to kick bots and prevent Special Infected from spawning.[/QUOTE] How would I get such a server?
[QUOTE=FlyingAlien;31306303]It had a lot of flaws though, survivors who just died infront of the saferoom recieved way less points than survivors who finished it.[/QUOTE] That's true. But the fact that L4D2 is almost always a rush fest on versus, in comparison, is just a shame.
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;31306957]How would I get such a server?[/QUOTE]Put "map <mapname>" in the Console, then when it's done loading, just put in "sv_cheats 1". Bang. Cheats in L4D2.
