Being a competitive SC player, I like to find the competitive value in games whenever I pick them up, and L4D was no different. Versus mode is SOOOOOOO fun, and has a lot of room for skill and coordination. I would LOVE to have in-house clan wars on TL. =D Anyone interested? | ||

The zombie hordes are really easy if you camp closet next to the weapon rack with auto shotties, but the tanks just f'k things up. so far we just either hit em with the gas tank or a molotov and try to stay alive for half a minute or so till it dies, but we always lose someone in the process. you must micro them bunny hopping through a window  tanks suck shit vs windows lol | ||

The hilarity of just plowing through 12023023 zombies with a ton of weapons is also great ;O | ||

Much like poker, the randomness evens out, especially in the long term (An entire campaign of Versus ends up being pretty even) and allows good players to adapt and make a strong stand against crappy odds and junk like that. I've played versus with bad players and good players, and playing with good players, like me and you Tom, we always rock the shit out of them. I can see myself, like in Starcraft, playing poorly because my mind is elsewhere, and reversely when I'm really into it. There is SOME randomness, but that doesn't mean the good players can't overcome it and pull out the consistent wins. I have 3 reliable players so far for my team. We need 1 more (really good) player for a consistent expert co-op player, aswell as a potential Versus team. If any other group of 4 people wants to give it a go, we can set up some scrims and potentially develop some good competition. =D | ||

I don't really think it does. Sometimes the tank doesn't even spawn on blood harvest on the map with the bridge, or it spawns in some location so far away from the survivors that they are already in the safe room by the time the tank can get anywhere close to them. But the team that it didn't spawn on was nearly dead, whereas the other team was doing great until a tank spawned in an inopportune place and ended up wiping or losing more people than they would have faced with the circumstances the other team faced. Other times the tank spawns against a team with tier 2 weapons in the open and at near full health and gets murdered, but the other team gets to face him indoors with tier 1 weapons. Also a single molotov can make a huge difference. I've played versus campaigns where the director seems to go insanely easy on one team, and really difficult on the other, and it doesn't seem to be a product of how well each is doing. Also the fact that points are based solely on distance traveled, health, number of survivors, and map difficulty, the tank spawn makes a huge difference. If there were any compensation for a team that had to face a tank with tier 1 weapons and no molotov (like say, a huge point bonus if they survive), then it might be fair. But as it is now, it isn't really. | ||

(also its a way of showing off to my cheap arse friends) ah crap, sorry for derailing the whole thread. ill try my best to bring it back: about L4D, i dont see why i should buy it when there is dead space. the co-op seems promising, but i dont have the commitment. you guys reckon the single player of L4D better than dead space? | ||
