I just love playing as the tank and killing all 4 survivors by throwing a car at them. The ensuing text chat is hilarious.

The infected has to use team-work. Even more so than the survivors.

Yea it is balanced pretty well - boomer vomits all over them, smoker and hunters pin them down and zombie mobs attracted by the vomit kill them. The tank is just a perk Smile

I love playing boomer. Really great fun to spawn in the right spot at the right time and vomiting all over the 4 survivors or exploding in the middle of em, and having the horde attack them.

The boomer is really the best way to create confusion and oppertunities for the other infected.
As smoker or hunter you can't do shit when the 4 survivors are sticking together and not fighting anything, but by attracting the horde as the boomer and obscuring their vision, you can force them to focus on their own survival, so they can't help out other players as easily.


So yeah, just because you don't spawn together doesn't mean the infected shouldn't use teamwork. You have to attack together or you have no chance.

Like... a hunter or smoker on their own? no good.
BUt have a smoker pull the last one of the group back into another room... chances are another guy will come back to help. Now if you got a hunter in there with the smoker he can punce the guy who came in to help and they're both stuck.

I love being a hunter and setting myself on fire. You can kill survivors so fast by doing that. The only bad thing, is you get slower, can't wall-jump, and you'll take damage over time.

I *prefer* playing as the Infected when I play online ... damned awesome fun, especially when you're playing against newbies who just wanna run off from the team and "kill zombiez!!!11" Easy pickings for the Boomer (puke > watch the ensuing hliarity as a million zombies eat him alive) or the Hunter.

A lot of times I've picked off a straggler with a Hunter and his team-mates have just left him and ran off! Very Happy Very Happy

Yeah playing as the infected is quite fun. I wish there were more types though. The only real problem is the fucking players who always leave the lobby because they can't start as infected. For christ sakes they get to play the infected next god damn round... Also I'm tired of the other team quitting simply because they are losing in score this happens so damn often that its rare to actually finish a versus game.

you do switch to different infected, just not always. it doesn't work like that because there's limits on how many of each type can exist at the same time.

Like.. there will never be 4 hunters, or 4 smokers.

So depending on what the other infected are currently playing, the types you can spawn as are limited. Hunters seem to be most common but I often get other infected as well even if I start as hunter.

What you spawn as simply matters on what is currently alive or finding a position to spawn on the map currently. So say your the only infected who is dead and you were the smoker you have a 100% chance of becoming the smoker again. Say if your whole team is wiped out then you will normally spawn as something else with the exception if you died being a hunter as there's always the chance of becoming the other hunter.

While this can be annoying at times its understandable and needed to keep the game balanced.

There can be 1 smoker, 1 boomer, 1 tank, and 3 hunters on the map at the same time.

Hunter's the most fun tbh.

You can find registry fixes for all windows on Google. Just look for "Vista Default Fonts Registry Fix" or something similar. After applying it, don't forget to restart. Smile

It's a known (and bad) bug in the Skidrow's uninstaller. Try to search in this thread, the solution has been posted many times. If you can't find it, simply copy the Windows' Fonts folder from a clean PC to the "infected" one (in Safe mode); anyway the official solution was better.. Razz

If you want to play the nonsteam version, simply download the Skullptura one (900+MB): it contains the Skidrow release without the bugfest Cool

DLC details and confirmation about a SDK for creating custom maps and such.

Quote:

Valve revealed that L4D will get new scenarios on both X360 and PC simultaneously, as well as versus support for both the Dead Air and Death Toll campaigns, although no price was mentioned. Modders can also expect an SDK with tools to make their own mods, maps, and scenarios.

Recently I had a versus game that never spawned the tank at the end. The game never sent the rescue APC. The survivors had no choice but to die... they ran all around trying to see if the tank spawned somewhere else so a infected player could take control and it was no where. It even ruined their game because originally they were ahead in score. Has this happened to anyone else?

But with the cracked releases you can play coop in LAN (is that what you mean, or a split screen)?

Off topic, but interesting on split screen. There is currently a mod in the works for UT3 to add splitscreen gaming like in the 360. Very Happy Should be pretty fun.

this supports split screen too, if you got a 360 controller somewhere for the second player.

still playing this game a lot btw. I've switched from playing expert coop to versus though.
They sure are taking their sweet time on the SDK. It should be out by now... I want some new maps Smile


I hope they'll eventually add some kind of stamina system for melee attacking or something.. so you can only attack a few times before you gotta stop for a moment. Spamming melee in a doorway or shit like that is just way too powerful and almost impossible to counter as infected. Not to mention the script exploit for it where you can pretty much attack 10 times a second and kill everything with melee only

For those who don't know what I'm talking about..
