[QUOTE=MrParalegal;31765238]I need some help, my L4D2 currently stuck on ''Update paused'' and when I try to resume it, it always tells me the Steam servers are too busy, it's stuck on 99%, I've tried reinstalling Steam, reinstalling L4D2, deleting the .blob file, verifying the L4D2 game files but nothing seems to work.[/QUOTE]It does that to me on CSS or Garry's Mod. Restarting your computer always fixes the problem though.
[QUOTE=Lordgeorge16;31765355]It does that to me on CSS or Garry's Mod. Restarting your computer always fixes the problem though.[/QUOTE] I've had it for about 2 days now. Rebooting didn't help either.

(since it gets a tiny bit done in the gap between stopping again)
I got a bit of a L4D2 problem too. Well actually it's a friend of mine. She gets the message "Could not load library matchmaking" after the intro. This thread basically sums it up. [url]http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1239219[/url] Problem is, we both can't follow the instructions because we can't find those files. The instructions in that thread don't correlate with what we see on our computers. We both go into the steam folder ... from then on ... that's it. That's as far as those instructions take us...

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2 I don't have a bin folder, but I also don't have it installed, so.
I remember the L4D series! I loved having my own fort server.
[QUOTE=zeldar;31728018]Tbh if there was a custom L4D2 tropical island map with Zoey guiding the survivors in that bikini model, it wouldn't seem too out of place I suppose.[/QUOTE] we see louis in a speedo and francis in a jockstrap

If they're going to make l4d1 completely obsolete and useless, then they better put one thing back into l4d2... [b]THE ABILITY TO LOOK DOWN AND SEE YOUR GOD DAMN LEGS[/b]

[b]THE ABILITY TO LOOK DOWN AND SEE YOUR GOD DAMN LEGS[/b][/QUOTE] Yeah, but it's a common [I]feature[/I] of FPS's to not be able to see your legs. Therefore, L4D is not a FPS while L4D2 is.

[QUOTE=Lordgeorge16;31822598]Not to sound like a fanboy because I hate Halo as much as I hate CoD, but you could see your legs in Halo 3.[/QUOTE] And Halo 2.

Therefore, L4D is not a FPS while L4D2 is.[/QUOTE] You're a dumbass if you think seeing your legs or body means it's not an FPS. "First-Person Shooter" means you're playing as the character in first person, as if you are them. It actually makes it more of an FPS to see their body, since it means you're the character. By your logic, Halo 2, F.E.A.R, and L4D aren't FPSs, and that's the stupidest thing I've heard of in a while.
Stepping aside from the FPS argument, I'd like to mention an awesome custom campaign I just finished playing and highly recommend called "Warcelona". Check it out. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftQvNsQs6mw[/media]

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftQvNsQs6mw[/media][/QUOTE] I played this too. Amazingly well done. I especially like the custom zombies and the attempt at other living survivors (even if they were kind of primitive slightly-moving models).
I like the military helicopter flying around shooting zombies with the rear mounted MG.

Even if they were just reskinned Half-Life 2 characters.
[QUOTE=Lijitsu;31826323]And Halo 2.[/QUOTE] And Halo 1.
[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;31834823]And Halo 1.[/QUOTE] You couldn't see your legs in Halo 1.

Essentially you're showering with one other person..in the dark. :tinfoil:

Haven't played the map yet. I plan to soon. But there is a hidden Minecraft Easter Egg in it. [video=youtube;UCddX73nKJg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCddX73nKJg[/video]
Are there any good Zoey skins that have actual working facial animations? At the moment it seems like only the bikini one has them. :v:
The Warcelona-campaign looks really, really good and is fun to play. Also, the Minecraft-easter-egg is great. :v: And, I'm getting huuuuge lag even on my own hosted local-server. And I'm also the only one lagging on my friends' servers. My FPS is always at 60 or over, what could be causing this? [editline]20th August 2011[/editline] And to further clarify, this only happens in L4D and L4D2.
Probably late. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLX2chLyxvs&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL[/media] :v:

If you disconnect and make a new local server, your game should start running smoothly again. If not, well, I don't know what to tell you.
It bugged me how there was no triumphant music at the end of Warcelona.
