L4D stuff.

[Chickenz]

Try putting ''sv_cheats 1;kick Zoey;kick Bill;kick Louis;kick Francis;z_spawn_mob_min_size 75;z_spawn_mob_max_size 130;director_panic_forever 1;director_horse_panic_event'' in the console.

I'd recommend ''Give Rifle'' and ''Give Pipebomb'' as well though.

It broke something with steam as well. I'm logging in for half an hour now, and now stuck on Updating after deleting ClientRegistry...

try deleting everything but steamapps and steam.exe. It will re-download everything for you again and if you leave steamapps alone your games should all still be there.

[Baliame]

Already did, and already on Steam

- Fixed a bug where the connection to a server would get stuck in a looping state
- Made sv_steamgroup_exclusive not connect to matchmaking. Removed sv_unreserve, private servers should sv_steamgroup_exclusive now

Pistol x2
Uzi
Shotgun
M16
Auto shotty
Hunting rifle
minigun
Pipe bomb
molotov

The posters suggest it too. Looks like they're carrying a g36 and some kind of skorpion in some posters.

This game is damn good. It's sucked away my night and I want to play more but I need to go to bed.

Now we need to complete tall the maps on the hardest difficulty!

only with less bed, because sleep is better in the day.

[spoodie]

Yeah, I thought it said 20 weapons at the end of the demo. Or 20 of something, not that it really matters.

I'm not sure it's obvious to all but Z and X do voice commands. Unfortunately there's no "Enemy boat spotted".

could have done, it was more than 5 minutes ago, so i'm not sure.

[Stoat]

"Thousands of zombies, 20 new maps, 10 new weapons".
This is Valve though, weapons will include things like petrol cans and other expodies.

[Dr. kitteny berk]

"Zombies sah, thaaasands of them"

I can confirm that the sniper rifle is actually pretty good. You can be accurate over range without the scope and there is a very short time between rounds fired

Yup, it's good in the few places it's useful, shame there's not that many of them

[deject]

Yeah I love the Hunting Rifle. It can penetrate anything (twss!) and it's great for taking out Smokers who have your teammates. One shot can take down at least 3 zombies that are lined up, making it great at choke points. I think I'll pretty much go with either the auto-shotty or the hunting rifle from now on.

[HereComesPete]

Auto-shotty ftfw.

The assault rifle is accurate at long range as long as you stay still and also provides the option of oh shit oh shit oh shit spraying, granted it's not quite the range of the rifle but I think it fills more roles and is a better choice. But it's still not as good at turning a room full of zeds into nothing but undead chunky soup as the shotty. Or fucking up a witch without taking a scratch.

Does that mean we can't vote on difficulty now?
