Bal you should get on because then we could play, think about it that way.

They seriously feel like a step down. The environments are more complex than in the first game, but sometimes there's just no excuse for the stupid shit they do (or don't do).

In other news, the finale for Dark Carnival is [spoiler]fucking metal[/spoiler]. If they keep getting more awesome, I fully expect the end of the Parish to make me pass out like a schoolgirl at an Elvis concert.

Pretty sure they're exactly the same, which means they're more broken now that the game's been switched up. Why would they even bother recoding a feature that's basically only good for dicking around to get a feel for the maps?

What's a bot? Anyway, Noro, I'd love to do that, and with others as well, but my sleep is all crazy right now.

On the "AI is babies" note, it's quite impossible to finish The Parish without human assistance.

i dont think i've actually heard the charger's "lurking around" noises, he just COMES OUTTA NOWHERE AND BEATS THE FUCK OUTTA YOU

also the pubs on versus are retarded as ever "OH NO THAT GUY GOT FORCED TO PLAY AS THE BOT WITH NO HP AND GOT DOWNED, VOTE KICK VOTE KICK VOTE KICK"

or the even more annoying "HURR HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY THE NEW INFECTED, KICK HIM"

and i really think valve should force any server that you can be placed on via matchmaking to be FREE OF STUPID SERVER PLUG INS

The Parish finale does not fuck around, it is true.

The Charger's lurking noises are low toned animal like grunts with hints of muttering and occasional growls to make him stand out more. The coming out of nowhere thing is just a function of his charge having about the same range as a smoker tongue.

I tested to see if pre-charging up the chainsaw and letting one ram into me would kill it.

I was incapped.

The other nice thing about the charger is that his normal melee attack is about twice as strong as a hunter's.

King Klown · « **Reply #430 on:** November 18, 2009, 09:22:22 AM »

Not sure if its an error or not, but has anyone else noticed that when a Charger charges into a group and knocks everyone else back, they don't stop stumbling until their back hits something? Even if that something is say, 10 feet away.

Bal · « **Reply #431 on:** November 18, 2009, 10:35:00 AM »

Pretty sure that's intentional. I mean, I'm sure there's an upper limit on how far you'll stumble, but the charge is supposed to scatter you many times more than the hunter pounce, for instance. It's meant to be the ultimate disorganizer when used just right. Truly terrifying on The Parish finale.

A Hunter, Spitter, and Charger(or good smoker) all attacking at once in a small room when there are already a fuckton of normal infected equals at least one of the survivors is now dead.

Bal · « **Reply #433 on:** November 18, 2009, 11:45:32 AM »

Most dangerous special infected is the jockey. When used properly, he's like an infinite smoker, dragging you farther and farther away. All it takes is a few seconds of distraction from the rest of the survivors, and you can drop him off a balcony and have him around the corner and still going. Get some interference from the other infected directed at the remaining survivors at it's a guaranteed kill. I'm seen some truly horrendous shit happen to jockey victims.

King Klown · « **Reply #434 on:** November 18, 2009, 12:31:49 PM »

True story.

Was playing on Hard Rain last night with my brothers, and a jockey grabs onto one while we're running across the sugar mill. Drops him down and winds him through a bunch of Witches. We try to pick it off from our upper level, but we end up hitting a Witch.

I'm guessing Coach's habit of compulsively reading everything he sees is supposed to be because he's one of those adult-educated types, so is it intentional that he fucks up reading that sign or what?

Impossible? No. Asinine? Yes. I just did it, it took me four tries. (On Normal.)

First time around I died ten feet from the choppa. Had I not made it that far I would not have tried again.

I really like when survivors fall off the narrow walkways, or off the tanker truck with the ladder, or when at the end they just lose their shit and stay on the bridge no matter what while a tank punts me into the ocean.
