So yeah, I svcked it up and went ahead and bought left 4 dead 2 last night. I really like it and all, and I beat the campaign, but..

I've recently started to play versus mode, and whenever I even make a single mistake, I get kicked.
No matter what match I play in, I ALWAYS get kicked within 20 minutes of playing. It's freaking bullcrap, and it annoys the hell out of me. To many hardcoe players nowadays... they were all noobs at one point.

Any tips you guys could give me? I've looked up videos on youtube, but most of them are just bloody common sense.

Play co-op instead.

Yes the L4D community is pretty harsh. When I fist got the game I was in your shoes. The easiest option would be to play with friends.

Wow I feel you. I cant remember the game it was but I was a noob and would be kicked alot for it, it really does make you rage, it might have been warcraft 3...

Keep playing eventually you'll find a game where the host isnt a giant jerk.

Yup, like Suffca, Teehee, Povuholo, Undone, Saurok and I.

When I play Halo Reach, I like blowing stuff up. I don't care who's in the mix, I like lobbing grenades and other explosives like confetti on the 4th of July, it's just who I am.. When I do this, there's inevitably someone on my team trying to melee the guy Im blowing up, and thus he gets killed. He then kicks me.

That's why I stick to FFA. I don't think there's a FFA mode in L4D, is there?

The majority of the L4D community is pants on head [censored]. Especially on Xbox

Heh, I have the game for the 360 and never had a problem with the community. Most games they make me laugh the whole time.

And I am consistently bottom of every list!


Hopefully once my exams are over I can start cramming some games in.

Is this on steam or on Xbaux? If its on steam we BGSF members could have a nice versus match going

Steam.

Do you play versus or co-op?

I hate the community, they will boot you for no [censored] reason. Others complain you do things wrong, then go of oin thier own, get killed then [censored].

or me! wait are we talking about PC or XBOX? (i'm a PC guy)

Back to topic - play the campaigns in coop for a while until you know what would be a sweet spot as an infected, where an infected is likely to spawn, what sound each infected does etc etc. since the infected aren't that hard to play, all you need to know is where to be, where to spawn, etc so once you learn that, you're pretty much ready. and well, survivors are just like any regular shooter

Both. I have had a few bad players but the vast majority of my games have been with some good/funny people.

Yeah, explosives are kinda iffy there. But you should know when it's okay to throw one, and the team mate should know when explosives are about to be used, so not get too close. It's one of those silent agreement things. Maybe you can control your collateral damage against your team, by throwing it too far left or right. Both people involved kinda have to be a little psychic.
For the most part, online playing with random people svckS. You have people talking trash about your name over a mic, people with loud music in the background, and blatant team betrayers. You get all set to do some damage and save the day, and your buddy puts a shotgun to your head and teabags your corpse. If it wasn't for complete ass-hats like these, online gaming would be addictive. So I guess I have them to thank that I don't pay for Gold membership anymore.

I had the best group once. A stoned girl, and a drunk guy and girl. Best hour I ever had in any game to date.

My screen name at the time was LemonAIDs, and whenever I went down they would be like "No! Lemons! Our juicy refreshments!". Good times.

It's just your luck. Most people I get are pretty bad but sometimes I find really cool people too. Once a game gets older, the community playing it either matures, or the immature people leave to play the next over-hyped FPS.

I know because back when GTA IV was new, online was the very definition of chaos. The game encourages it too, so it's tough to find a match where something productive is going on. But if you play it now, it's tons of fun. There might only be a single lobby in each game type, but those lobbies are filled with good players, who are mature, and cool. Same goes with the TF2 servers now.

Play harder like a man. Now you can't because you wasted all the fluid in your body crying like a female, so now you're dehydrated and playing like a man is now out of reach.

Who cares most members on l4d2 are bad. They usually don't know how to do stuff. Just do it on co-op, much more people are friendly there.

Cross site trolling is not allowed here. Leave their problems there when you come and if you want to discuss it do so on their forums.

Not to mention someone gender bashing in here.

This thread is soooooo locked.
