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?

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.

I have played a ridiculous amount of versus and other than noticing luck when it passes by, it doesn't affect the outcome. Yeah, when our team gets an unavoidable witch, it's cool. Our last set we played we had 3 unavoidable witches, all of which were killed without any injury to the team. All of our witches were avoidable. When you reach a certain skill level, you shouldn't ever lose a member to a witch. They're dead simple to kill. Same with Tanks. Even with T1 weapons, if you set up right and all your members know how to kite, it's dead simple.

The biggest losses we've seen were where we won right off the bat with 3 good CC's and a good boomer. They got 2% because we were coordinated.

After 5 full versus sets, we've won them all, making it to the safe house in every level and preventing them on every level.

If luck was really a huge issue, our experience and skill would mean much more balanced terms.
As it is, we're raping the shit out of them, even when they're partially premade with good coordination.

Well sadly, My computer is far too shitty to be able to play L4D on an enjoyable level so I got it for my xbox360, and yeah I agree, I always get annoyed to some extent playing FPS-games with a freaking 360 controller but its still loads of fun if you just have a bunch of friends to play with in co-op mode. Btw :



What do you mean, are there more stages in the PC version? :O

No, but we've already got map makers making campaigns. They'll make xbox users pay for new content , whilst i'm sure PC users will get it for free.

I've had like 5 molotovs and 5 pipebombs spawn in a very easy place to reach on the No Mercy finale, and other times zero of both (not counting the spawn ones). I think even the most inept team is going to have a much easier time with that much at their disposal... my team barely got touched until a smoker at the end ganked the last guy trying to reach the helicopter. And it isn't kept even between teams, because I've noticed one team getting like a billion molotovs before (and the guy wasn't using a bug to get more either) while my team had none.
