Which I have now done. Survival mode is motherfucking terrifying and amazing. It's like that feeling in campaign or versus where everything has gone to hell, but all the god damned time. The best we were able to accomplish was a silver medal on the farm house on Blood Harvest.

Still need to try out the new versus versions of Death Toll and Dead Air.

Best I could manage with my brother + two pubbies was a silver medal on the Street Level on Death Toll.

I need to try the new versus as well.

Just finished a full round of versus on Dead Air. Much of it is a bit unfair to the infected. Just too open.

are you retarded?

the infected are not meant to win a versus round.  they're meant to impede the progress of the survivors as well as they can.

a total survivor failure results in a tremendous point penalty.  a good survivor team should always make it, albiet in haggard shape.

i can't imagine how bad the game would be if the infected were supposed to win every round of versus.

they, uh. kinda are. depends on skill of both teams as survivor and infected, and all that, but typically it's assumed the survivors will all eat it before making it to the saferoom.

Depends on the Director and skill level of the teams.

But I think it is generally assumed that if the teams are of equal skill and communicating, all the infected can really do is slow down the survivors and make them lose points.

Nah, I think the infected have a slight edge to winning overall thanks to the presence of human intelligence, but the survivors are presented as absolute juggernauts compared to anything but a tank.

I think that four specials communicating and coordinating is far more effective than even the worst RNG catastrophes of a campaign run. Like, I'd rate Human-controlled special infected as about a half-step over anything from Expert.

The infected are much better balanced against the survivors than before, it's just the nature of the Dead Air map that the Survivors have the advantage for much of it.

DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOOD AT LEFT 4 DEAD?

Is Expert Mode boring you with it's need to check your targets?! Are you slam-dunking through hard modes so fast that your cock distorts into a caricature of Rocky Balboa?!



SURVIVAL MODE IS FOR YOU!

Survival mode is fantastic! While they added the other two campaigns to Versus Mode, Survival Mode is actually like secretly adding five more maps to the mix!

THAT'S SEVEN MAPS! THAT IS MORE THAN THREE TIMES WHAT YOU EXPECTED GOD DAMN THERE ARE SO MANY MAPS YOUR EYES WILL BULGE



The only proper recourse in such a situation is to stare at Valve, jaw agape, and utter your pure disbelief!

Valve! You.. you... DOUBLE CATROGRAPHERS!

And that's not all! These maps are fucking hard core! Just when you think being personally mauled by four hunters isn't enough, a trio of smokers picks your party apart as you struggle to reload your guns and to find ammo!

Sometimes the maps are covered in explosives! You'll need them, you coward! The only thing zombies fear more than bullets is combustion, which is why they always come running when they can pinpoint a car!

Me and Wiseman tried Survival Mode out and it made the hair on my chest braid into viking war twists! I shat an anvil when TWO tanks showed up at the 6 minute mark to let us know their utter indignation at anyone taking a Silver medal!



Then we tried a new map and we noticed that there were like 30 environmental explosives! So Wiseman and two pubs decide to pile them up in a corner!

AND THEN WISEMAN SAT ON THE PILE WITH HIS DAINTY SNIPER RIFLE!

I LIT THAT SUCKER UP LIKE THE FOURTH OF JULY! EVERYONE'S CLIENT SHUDDERED IN SHEER DISBELIEF AT HOW MANY EXPLOSIVES WERE UNLEASHED! I COULD ONLY SEE A WALL OF ORANGE WHERE MY BEST FRIEND USED TO BE!

Tanks in Survival mode are about as hard to kill as tanks in normal mode. Unfortunately there are never less than eight of them.

We got a gold medal with three shotguns and an AR on the hospital stage. I just wish this game had readily available replays.

Fucking sniper rifle is only good if someone can  A: aim and B: FUCKING PRIORITIZE TARGETS

Uzi always sucks though.

i just wish that the shotgun wasn't THE only weapon that gets used in versus.

I gotta tell you, with 4 autoshotguns in Survival mode, if the tank doesn't get the drop on you, he will last three seconds.  If everybody puts all the fire they can on him immediately, he's 100% done.
