Hypnosis is right, after once or twice on LAN this shit gets boring as hell. You guys have been playing the wrong people, or played campaign mode over and over. When play team vs. team the games are never ever the same, it just sucks if you play newbs. try playing against each other or something. It can get really competetive. | ||

The first match of Season 1 is in the next few days. I'm wondering if anyone here has a server we can borrow for the match. Our opponents don't have a server either. Hopefully someone can help us out as we need to firm up a few things before we start renting a server. Good luck to all the TL players in CAL L4D! | ||

So, it seems they finally got their stuff somewhat together as they added the official versus versions of the 2 other campaign and fixed/tweaked some stuff regarding specials, but what caught my attention was pretty much the new survival mode they introduced. Basically in Survival, you play one of the events "gone wrong" that you meet in normal campaings and instead of just pushing foward your way remains blocked and you'll end up against practically infinite amount of infected. (Spawn intervals get shorter as you survive longer). All the current events from campaings are playable as these survival versions with addition of the lighthouse map "The Last Stand", which rounds up the number to 16 "maps". Last Stand, despite being actually quite a nice map is probably the most played, the situation might not be as bad as it was right after patch (~90% of games I joined were on that map), but still joining random survival seems to end up as Last Stand about 50% of the time. What's the point? You defend against infected till you die? Pretty much, simple yet fun, but don't forget there's timer and leaderboard that shows your and your friends' best times. To make things even more appealing, they added awards and related achievements. The forementioned awards are basically medals (you know the stuff; bronze, silver, gold) that are rewarded basing on the time you have survived, this time for each is the same in every map. Bronze: 4min, Silver: 7min and finally Gold: 10min. It might not sound too hard to survive for few minutes, but playing with lacking teamwork in some public games might end it really fast. These medals, despite not doing much else than showing up next to your time and relate to few new achievements seem to encourage players to try harder as there is some "reward" for surpassing these times. After getting a gold on a map though, it feels as if there's not really a point in playing it except for beating your friend's time or helping another to achieve the gold on that map. Regarding the new achievements, they didn't have much imagination with them, but they still exist to be achieved. The easiest one (and most pointless) is achieved by playing ONE round on the new map, seriously what's up with that. The rest are basic: Gain one bronze/silver/gold medal and get them in all "maps". Currently I haven't really played the "new" Versus campaigns, so I can't really say much about them, but I can tell you that Survival, despite being simple, is good time expecially with a good team that follows a plan or just work well together even without further communication. If there's any interest, I will probably discuss/dump some tactics and stuff that I've used so far to get gold on some of these "maps". I played it quite alot when the patch came out, but haven't for some days now. I have about 11 Gold by now  still some of the nastier maps left.As the time limits are same for all maps, some feel really easy and others really hard, if you play for awards. Edit: tl;dr: Survival explained overall, it's fun. | ||

I like having the 'new' maps in versus but even those aren't new. I didn't play much campaign though so I don't know them that well. I never beat death toll and only did dead air once, so fortunately for me they are sort of new. That said, one of the campaigns is rife with maps that have buildings you can't get on top of. There's so many spots that are perfect for big pounces but oops invisible barrier. Fuck you. Some of the others just seem incredibly difficult for infected but it's not like they are balanced. | ||
