I heard molotovs are OK for Akimbo... I read that on the steam forum... honestly idk I'll have to try again. I don't know if I can play today... but we will play again sometime for sure.

I have akimbo assassin... I think I might be right... Just play on easy with the AI.

hmmm... I dont like playing with the AI. I'll just find a group of people who all want to try for it at the same time. :roll:

I do believe you though.

the amount of crap servers out there is sad... it takes forever to find a good one.

thats why you play with friends/LAN it.

sadly the bandwidth requirements are high for a host, my 384Kb upload (approx 45KB/s real) can only manage 6 people, on a bad day only 5

well my server is 2Mbit up and it runs 8 people very well and it usually is packed. but whenever i play on another server it is almost always lagged.

I constantly need more people to play with, so my Steam ID is:

Add me. I have played with both EasyRhino and Triptex so far.

Thats odd. They were saying that hosting servers for this game takes up a lot less then hosting servers for tf2 and cs:s.

This game is good, but does anyone know if/when they are going to add some stuff? I'm bored with it already -_- played the campaigns too many times.

well as i said, i know my net and i cant handle many players. we end up having to play in hamachi most of the time, due to some really weird lag/disconnection bugs when playing online (tells us steam has lost connection etc)

I think they just need more maps. that'll happen eventually.

Easy Rhino · Dec 4, 2008

what is worse than playing with noobs?? playing with people who think they are awesome and say that you suck!

Anyone playing this game with cards in Crossfire should be pleased with Catalyst 8.12 once it gets released. The 8.12 RC3 beta I'm using now have boosted my minimum FPS from the low 40s-50s to 70s-80s. I'm running the game now with all settings at the highest with 8xAA and 16xAF.

Yin · Dec 8, 2008

wow so many of you guys play l4d,
I need more ppl to play with when i do play which is rare now...
anyways try this command in the console ,
openserverbrowser
in the main menu, makes finding decent servers a tiny little easier.

i was just LANning it with two friends

game is quite fun.

TRIPTEX_CAN · Dec 8, 2008

Lan must be nice with this game.... no network lag at all. No crappy servers only locally hosted goodness.

Easy Rhino · Dec 8, 2008

lag has been a problem. even when my connection reads the 3 green bars i still notice lag and every once in a while the screen will freeze up for a split second.

They are, i got my akimbo achievement from a game where i had picked up, but not used the sniper rifle, used pipe bombs (and i think i used a molatov as well), stayed well away from the mini guns though...

On a side note i'd love some liscenced maps from all the zombie films over the years, would be great DLC/free updates.

Also is anyone else getting random DC's from servers all the time?

Mussels · Dec 9, 2008

we're lanning it because we noticed nasty net issues online. even lanning it through hamachi gave teh same ones, i dont know if its our net doing it or the games just buggy.

we mostly noticed that people would randomly drop to one red bar, particularly in certain areas/levels - the start of the 2nd demo level was a good one for it. (hospital 2 i think)

what is he using to make these maps?

Don't know really. Hammer of course but with out the L4D SDK. He is importing the textures from the game I think manually and then using them, but don't take my word for it.

PVTCaboose1337 · Dec 9, 2008

I cannot wait for the Dead before Dawn mod pack. That will be good to see some new map packs.

It's possible to extract the textures using GCFScape, then put them into a game's folder, like TF2, then they will show up in Hammer. The entities then are copy and pasted, or just manually put in the values for it. We're supposed to get info on the SDK... soon, but it's kinda drifted by.

I'm having so much fun playing this game, even on my terrible Radeon x300. It's just so damn replayable. Valve is apparently planning to integrated custom movie finding in their matchmaking system, which will be awesome once the SDK comes out.

I think it also depends on the person hosting. Obviously the host would need a decent rig to host with out lag.

I noticed this when my brother host on his laptop and his laptop isn't that bad.
I think the specs are
2.2ghz intel
2 gb ram
8600gt

I also noticed that even though my system is old
<--------------------
It can host it better than his laptop.

Does anyone know if this game supports duo or quad core?
