So last night, Niku, Smiler, Doom and I were having a bitch of a time on the swamp map, so we decided to try some versus. After a revolving door of derps and jerks in the lobby, we eventually got a team of some clan members and two random people together for Dark Carnival.
The first stage went good for us, as we nearly made it to the safe house. I was stopped at the top of the hill by a smoker, and a well placed charger stopped the other 3 right outside the safe house. So when it came our turn, we were having difficulty pinning them in the motel, but managed to stop to of them at the top of the hill with a hunter and a smoker, while Smiler and Doom rode them as jockeys at the bottom. First round, goes to us!
In the second act, we were doing fine up until the point a tank appeared and incapacitated Smiler by the water slide. So naturally Doom and I rush to his aid, jumping off a building and breaking our legs in a most heroic manner. When you go from playing TF2 to L4D, it can be disorienting when you can't jump off buildings. Niku died a ignominious death somewhere else. Now it was our turn to show these guys what for!
And they curb stomped us! Getting a bunch of medpacks, shutting down Smiler as the tank and basically sticking and not letting us near them. Even our Boomer vomit only managed to get 3 or 4 zombies to attack them. It would have been the most embarrassing event of the night if they hadn't gone and done it on the Tunnel of Love section as well! They shut us out twice!
So we decide to Rambo through the Tunnel of Love! We make it only about halfway before we are obliterated. So on the fourth attack, we decide we have to get our shit together.
We wait around awhile (these guys took forever in the safe house), and I was a Smoker, Smiler was a Hunter, Niku was a Jockey and Doom was a Spitter. I fuck up at first as they come out of the safehouse, unable to hit any of them with my tongue, and it looks like we're in for a repeat of the last map. When suddenly Smiler lands a lucky pounce on a straggling human, who is promptly abandoned by his teammates. Then Niku grabs one of the other guys while I simultaneous pick up a third with my tongue. Niku manages to take the guy for quite a ride, actually, while Doom sprays the last guy with acid. They didn't even get 25% through the map before we completely shut them down. It was incredible.
Then all but one guy rage quit. Guess the game is no fun when your opponents put up a fight!
