I enjoyed the events and finals a lot, finished testing all the campaigns so I have a vague idea which way to go and not get stuck running circles in versus (that has happened twice already, though enemy team followed our example and were looping the same areas).

In some maps Spitter is just delicious to play as, use her limited range (which drops the spit straight down after certain distance moved) to become a siege unit in outdoor areas so they can't really reach you etc. fun times.

lol, there are leagues for L4D2 such as CEVO, which I think is retarded. Some games are meant to be for fun and not competitive. Competition can be fun, but for games like L4D? No thanks.

I won't get L4D2 since I think it's a rip off. I'll admit that it's better than L4D1, but I'm not giving my money to Valve anymore.

I played L4D semi-competitively for awhile and it definiately has potential to be a competitive game, the problem with the original was that it had a definite skill cap. I hope L4D2 changes this and it has more of a chance to be a competitive game because I think it has some decent potential in the area.

Ok, I played through the main campaigns. Holy shit, Hard Rain is one of the craziest levels I've played on any game. So so amazing. Some friends of mine tried to rescue the gnome on Dark Carnival, but unfortunately for me, they're not very good at L4D games. Takes some people quite a while to get the hang of not shooting everything you see, crouching if in front. Very strange.

I've not played and of the PvP modes yet, but seems to me like Infected are going to have an advantage quite often here. Spitters and Jockeys are annoying as it is when the AI controls them.

Note: Is there a Team Liquid steam group? Edit: Yes there is. My Steam name is Reginald O'Fapsbury if you want to find me.

Axes hurt.

Tanks hurt more

Also, laggy servers on versus mode makes for sad games

anyone know how buying a server works, or where I can buy a quality one? It's such a struggle to find a good server, i'd rather just rent one for a few months so my friends and i can play on it without having to deal with shitty fucking servers-_-

If you're hosting, always choose official dedicated instead of best available dedicated. I always get sub 80 ping on official dedicated and always 200+ on best available =\

Played through all the campaigns, and definitely Hard Rain is the best. The atmosphere throughout the whole campaign and the weather during the second half is really great.
