Left 4 Dead

TRIPTEX_CAN · Jan 15, 2009

Your Windows system registry.... that catalogs all settings, hardware, and software for your entire PC.

I use CCleaner to clean the registry when I have problems with a program that stopped working or didnt install properly.

Cleaning the registry of invalid entries after removing a program will make it appear at though the program never existed <--- making Left 4 Dead work again (hopefully)

Worth a try instead of reinstalling Vista for on game.

No win7 is starting to piss me off. I hate how it hangs when you start moving things around and a couple of my other games don't work as well.

Oh... shit ok, Yeah I get it.

Your specs still say Vista I didnt know you were using 7. Still though, IF that was the only issue then I'd still clean the registry.

It was made by a girl :roll:

in case you couldnt tell.

It made me remember how much potential this game has for a real story line.

Chryonn · Jan 16, 2009

i actually quite liked it. i think the music made it more intense for me.

Super XP · Jan 19, 2009

I really enjoy Left 4 Dead as a single player (Expert Mode) and as a MP. But I have to admit many online players take it way too personal and eventually go nuts. It's a game people lol

Mr.Amateur · Jan 19, 2009

I'm currently avoiding left 4 dead until the next update (mall FTW). Too many failed attempts at completing any campaign on expert are making me un-love left for dead

I only had a problem with the demo version. It would always crash to the Windows screen and sometimes it would just freeze or re-start. I even had it try to un-install itself for some reason?

I like the game, but I really hate when I am playing the MP online with others it always seems there are a dump load of Hunters all over the place. I think people are cracking the game with some cheats or something. Not all the time, but just enough to piss you off.

Anybody have a campain looking for a shotgun zombie headshot pro

Wasley_26 you're on.

Chryonn · Jan 19, 2009

ahh yes, the Mall and the Winchester Pub campaigns, can't wait for those. completing Expert campaigns are hard if the other players don't co-operate and of course mics are a must really. been playing Versus a lot and it's taking some getting used to. especially the long Infected re-spawn times. i can relate to having too many Hunters seemingly all over the place as well

crazy pyro · Jan 19, 2009

Did I see a winchester pub campaign, MUST HAVE LINK!

Chryonn · Jan 19, 2009

my only source of info is from page 44 of the February issue of UK PCZone magazine. isn't the Winchester Pub from Shaun of the Dead? Come to think of it, doesn't Louis look like Shaun with his shirt and tie combo? hmmm?

The good thing about playing Left 4 Dead in MP is each individual brings there personal experience into play. What I really hate is when somebody tells you what to do constantly then you eventually get killed or something or we all lose the game, then they blame you.

Each person should bring there experience into play and work from there IMO.

Personally I think I am quite good in Expert Mode in single player and that is probably because the AI just follows my lead I assume.

If you are being attacked by zombies all over the place, IMO the best technique for attack is to create a square style attacking position so that each player looks after there front and there fighting partners left side.

Super XP · Jan 19, 2009

By the way, when is Valve going to release a patch for a nice powerful Double Barrel Shotgun? We need the ability to at least take out 5 to 10 zombies with one shot but at the expence of having it re-load slower :toast:

gotta find the right people..

and a lot of people I know who play expert... shouldn't..lol..
they just aren't good enough..
they can't figure out how to "NOT" shoot their teammates in the back of the head.
they can't figure out how to play like a a team and not go off into a solo rambo mission.

rule of thumb.. if you can't finish a mission with less than 15 friendly fire incidents (and thats being nice).. don't play expert..
if you can't stay with your team.. don't play expert..
if you can't remember to get into a corner or into a room for EVERY swarm.. don't play expert..
if you always need to kill the witch and cause your team to watch you die... don't play expert..
if your one of those guys who always has to have the shotgun to show off your e-peen and you can't seem to not shoot your team mates..
definitely don't play expert.. you one hit kill with that thing.
Last but not least..If you don't have a dang mic.. stay the hell out of expert..lol..

to many people play expert who.. sorry to say it like this..
need to learn their place...lol..

they just are not good enough.. but swear they are..
expert is an entirely different animal than any other difficulty setting..
I feel there should be a level between advanced and expert because the jump in difficulty from advanced to expert is just to much.

I play expert because it's the only thing still challenging..
but I still like advanced to slow things down a bit.
nice to not have to worry about being killed constantly by noob team members.
you know, ones who don't know they should of stayed in normal or advanced..

I had a guy come on the other day who said..

"I never played this game before but I figure I should learn with the best"

no... no you shouldn't learn with the best and make us pay for your lack of ability..
you should start at the bottom and teach your dam self..lol..

fyi there's a mod out now for all of the maps that should of been in VS from day 1.

all of the campaign missions.

I installed it with no issues I've seen.
I played for 2 days since then in all nighters and have had no issues.

Chryonn · Jan 20, 2009

i agree with SO many of those points it's not even funny. although you're a bit soft on having less than 15 FF incidents. i'd say less than 8: i've been consistently been getting less than 5 FF incidents in all difficulties of campaign.
a mic is a must.
i agree that Expert is an (almost) entirely different game in terms of mechanics. the standard practice for Tanks is to set it on fire then ruuuuuuuun! and let it die slowly. also meleeing when being horded/swarmed is another standard purely to avoid those FF incidences.

You're right, too many people play expert and VS without knowing any basics of the game. I refuse to babysit... I vote kick.

Yes please, new maps will be great, getting tired of playing the same maps over and over.

Amen, if no one has a mic I just leave the game.

Chryonn · Jan 20, 2009

D007 means there's a mod that unlocks all four campaigns' vs. mode instead of the standard two.
