So I protected Geo and Doom from a tank. Last stretch on a bridge towards a safe house. Geo and Doom both have critical HP with Bal and I running ahead. I turn around, chuck my gas can onto the bridge, place a bullet in it, and set the entire width of the bridge on fire so Geo+Doom can't go on with us.

TRAITOROUS!?

Nay! For a tank came ambling off towards us, allowing Bal and I to safely deal with it while the fires burned.

Doom: Of course the Boomer can vomit or explode on the Survivors while they're in the closet, but it doesn't matter, because they're in the closet. During the event, the zombies are already rushing through the door trying to get to them, and the survivors are all firing in the same direction, wasting absolutely everything. Nothing can get close. There's no angle for the smoker to drag anyone out, either. The only way that I can think of that the closet could be defeated, and this is purely theoretical, is if the Hunter managed to tackle someone while they were reloading or otherwise distracted, and since everybody's so close together the entire party gets Hunter-staggered (there is a brief stun on nearby Survivors when one gets Huntered), during which a second Hunter tackles someone else, and then a Smoker drags a third person out and the Boomer blows chunks on everybody just for good measure. This is purely theoretical and requires tremendous teamwork and timing, but it's a worth a shot. Otherwise, just wait for them to leave the closet and go up to the really, really vulnerable bit of the map after the elevator.

protip: players toungue'd/Hunter'd TAKE NO friendly fire damage

also, FF doesn't occur if the projectile has gone through a wall.

I foolishly got l4d for the xbox so I haven't played any versus but can't the zombies just seige until they players run out of ammo?

Doom · « **Reply #204 on:** December 25, 2008, 07:53:43 PM »

It would take a truly fantastic string of Boomers to even remotely endanger ammo capabilities in any single situation.

That being said, flooding a closet to try and drain them for the long run is valid.

Though with random item distribution, they could always just step out of the elevator and onto an ammo dump.

The Infected have to consider the long term. In general, damage done is as good as scoring points.

Dual pistols never run out of ammo and are just as effective as any other weapon while in the closet.

Any time I play Advanced, I find we keep getting wiped out and I call for a vote to reduce the difficulty to Normal, but nobody else goes with it, but then we get wiped out five more times, and then I call another vote, and everybody goes for it.

When you play with Bongo Bill, you play with a person who is not good at games. I know what difficulty level is best for a group that suffers under this handicap.

Kazz · « **Reply #207 on:** December 26, 2008, 07:42:48 AM »

I've never wiped out more than twice on Advanced, I don't think. Rule Number One is that you should be close enough to caress everybody else's ass at all times. (Rule Number Two is to do so.)

Aw, jesus, I thought they were doing it just because I was Zoey.

LFD bought on sale, will probably bother to install it from Steam tonight.

Here's what I don't get. Why do the infected box the survivors into the Mercy elevator with the generator? It just makes the closet even harder to defeat. Also, how do you get out of there? The only way I've seen so far is to throw a pipe bomb at the generator.

Defenestration · « **Reply #211 on:** December 27, 2008, 02:39:42 PM »

For the record, I was letting a friend borrow my Steam account to try and convince him to get Left 4 Dead while I was getting to 80 in WoW. My account has been re-commandeered, and I will be open to a game any time!

James Edward Smith · « **Reply #212 on:** December 27, 2008, 06:05:16 PM »

Whelp, I just got AKIMBO ASSASSIN and STAND TALL on the same runthrough of Death Toll on advanced. So yeah, advanced is not that hard. We even had this really crap guy playing Louis but he gave me a lot of opportunities to farm the heal a teamate achievement which I completed in that same run as well.

Norondor · « **Reply #213 on:** December 27, 2008, 07:43:50 PM »

Canadian is debit to team

Doom · « **Reply #214 on:** December 27, 2008, 07:54:30 PM »

I'll take somebody who can aim and time pistol reloads over a dude who doesn't know how to crouch and insists on hanging out with me when I've got the auto-shotty. Was a great Death Toll advanced otherwise(not the same as Geo's.)

James Edward Smith · « **Reply #215 on:** December 27, 2008, 10:07:35 PM »

Yeah, I don't get Noro's comment. I'm a debit to team because I rock out with dual elites and never got knocked down while healing people a lot?

Doom · « **Reply #216 on:** December 28, 2008, 07:20:33 AM »

Played Death Toll Advance with full Amazing Friends/LB.

Never incap'd until the finale.

When I'm Boomer'd/Hunter'd.

At the docks.

As the boat pulls up.

For my only incapacitate.

That nobody can save me from.

S.. so close to "Standing Tall"

King Klown · « **Reply #217 on:** December 28, 2008, 08:00:40 AM »

I think it was

when I threw the molly to help stop the horde, and you got engulfed in it as well while incapacitated.

King Klown · « **Reply #218 on:** December 28, 2008, 10:05:47 PM »

So a tale of woe and crying.

Advanced on Blood Harvest, we're one guy down. Doomy and I are watching the military APC roll up and another guy is on the bottom level, watching it roll up.

We jump down as the APC pulls up and starts to lower its door to allow us to come on. When the door is almost touching the ground, I jump, thinking I'll get it.

Nay.

I shoot off skyward to the right and land about 50 feet from the APC.

The distant howls of zombies are no longer so distant.

At 15 health, I don't stand much chance. OR DO I!?

While this is going on, the useless 3rd wheel dies to zombies, and Doom jumps into the APC.

And I die.

Doom · « **Reply #219 on:** December 28, 2008, 10:06:59 PM »

Actually the useless third wheel was beaten to death by the tank! Me and ThoughtBandit pretty clearly got into the truck, but he was hunter'd OUT of it and the game waited for you both to incap before letting me roll out with plenty of leg room...
