Zombie Squad

While we wait for the next batch to hit, here's a little peek into what's on my F1 to F10 keys: The Ten Commandments of L4D(2)! [/u]* The 10th Commandment: Thou Shalt Fire Upon Tanks Only From 10 Cubits or More Away, Else Thine Survivor Shall Surely Not Survive. The 9th Commandment: Thou Shalt Bless...

[Essay-Rant] Today I was playing in an expert campaign with a team that wasn't quite up to the challenge. They did a good job of highlighting four things "expert" players ought to have down : Area clearing , Situational Awareness , Contact Reports and Areas of Responsibility . So, I need to vent a l...

Some thoughts on difficulty and online play for the newer players: IMO singleplayer is really just tutorial mode. Once you've got the basics down, there's not much reason to go back to it, with the exception of earning a few achievements. Normal is a walk in the park, advanced is usually a lot of fu...

I said i was going to be patient for DLC, but now its starting to wear on my patience, it's long overdue. Oh, I can definitely see your point, but I've been playing Valve products since 2000 and as a result I've grown used to waiting an eternity for their updates. :P I still remember the long wait ...

I'll spot you Madwolf - I've seen NOTLD enough times already, would hate to miss REC tho.

I'll give you a call a few hours beforehand to iron out whatever details may exist.

I can also act as backup transportation in case we're hauling chairs and whatnot.

Has anybody got Nothing Special and if so would you like to help me get it sometime? PS: Is there a post where people post their XBox Live names? Nothing Special is the very last achievement I have left to get (woo! Go me! :mrgreen: ), so yeah, I'd be interested in setting up an Uber-careful run on...

True. Rushing (or more precisely, "event surfing") can work well if done intelligently. Therein lies the problem. :roll: And that was epic, MeatshieldChris. If I'd been on the other team, I would have told everyone in public chat in no uncertain terms that you were the only worthwhile player on the ...

Safety First is easy. ... Just punch things. If you use only pistols (and no pipe bombs or molotovs), you'll get the Akimbo Warrior unlock, too. Technically speaking, to get Akimbo Assassin you can still use grenades. You just can't fire bullets out of anything besides your pistols, and that includ...

I apologize for the lateness of the request, but I've been wrestling for control of my computer with the .Vundo trojan and its friends for the past several days, so I've been unable to check the boards or my email. :/ I understand one of the things we need to bring is a handgun in a case. I don't ha...

I have the a profound amount of respect for all LEO's. They do their best to protect and serve their communities. Just remember they are still human, mistakes are made and lives are changed. I'm not defending the action of the officers in this case. Just tipping my hat to all LEO's. Live with honor...

Learned something else, it is possible to not anger the creepy little girl within about 5 feet. The Director was being a mega dick to us (we were going for Do Not Disturb) and in Blood Harvest, before you get in the train car, there she is, dead center in the middle of the bridge about 25 feet from...

As much as is possible, stick to what you know. The trouble is, writing any kind of story - especially one like yours! - will take you outside your own sphere of knowledge more often than not. This means you'll need to do a good amount of research, or just be willing to pull something out of your as...

I find just hosing full auto is a bad idea.. it does not do much good and your accuracy goes down. the only time it works well is when you have narrow field of fire with a lot of people <Zombies> Coming at you down it. Then yes, it's awesome. But most of the time I stick with burst fires and pick a...

One lesson this game has taught me, if a demonic little cheerleader girl is crying to herself in the corner, GTFO. No, srsly, your dumb ass can run up and attempt to shoot her if you want, I'm not taking the risk that it MIGHT actually be a little girl, and the bigger risk of it being a demonic lit...

In the words of Denzel Washington in Training Day, talking about his shotgun... "I'm surgical with this bitch!" What he said. ;) If you take the autoshotgun and use it to defend teammates, please be surgical with it - I don't like losing more health to your poor aim than the zombies you're "protect...

Ammo goes into the magazine or cylinder. It doesn't take an engineering degree to figure out which way. Point it towards the target, line the sights up, pull the trigger. Repeat. Don't poke it at shit you don't want to poke holes in, be it the cat, the kids, or the TV. Don't let it lay where your k...

Read the book, liked it, (and loved the descriptive Amazon.com phrase, "Doomer porn" :lol: ), though I had many of the same reservations that have been mentioned so far: You can practically see him checking off his list of gear. This made some of the dialog feel pretty forced. It's definitely preach...

Sometimes you gotta run, but in general, "slow is smooth, smooth is fast." 8) A balanced weapon loadout works wonders. Play nice with others. Share your healing items, call out any useful items you find, watch your teammates' backs, and they'll (probably) do the same for you. Apparently one cannot ...

I also tend to play L4D pretty frequently. Have most of the achievements, make a good wingman. My Steam handle is the same as my forum name. I'd also appreciate an invite to the ZS Steam group, if possible. ;) BTW, if you send me a friend invite, please also PM me on these boards so I'm less likely ...

I can easily hand out and/or post flyers in the downtown denver area. Any funky legal restrictions I should be aware of regarding that, BTW?

I'd also be game to get all zombified, if someone with makeup expertise wants to help.

Wow, looks like you guys have quite an operation going here in Colorado, so I'll have to start dropping in on some of your get-togethers! :D I'm 29, single, college graduate, live alone and have a small group of like-minded friends who I hope to drag onto these boards shortly. ;) Politically, I'm a ...
