"Hey, don't you think the Team Fortress 2 medic looks like Colbert?"

Short answer: No
Long answer: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

C'mon, you don't see it?

Well...I see it.

Alright so there is this weird glitch (Richard Groovy Pants, The_Root_Of_All_Evil were playing too, and were equally stumped) - where if you are running from the Tank and go into the safe room, he ends up killing himself by spazzing out at the base of the rocks that you can use to get back up there. I should record it next time, it makes no damn sense.

In the same game, Rich was the last one alive and once the tank died we give him the all clear, and the second he opens the safe door a horde pops up without warning, and then are all bunched up at the safe door like the 3 stooges. Then we placed bets on how he would die because there is no way the director will let him live, TROAE voted Hunter, I bet on smoker, and the other dead player ("Phoenix Arrow") bet hunter and horde. Second Rich walks out the safe, a smoker gets him and he kills it. Later near the ammo pile in the subway, he kills a hunter, boomer, a horde, and then a smoker gets him from behind and I win the bet ;)

...everyone always forgets about me. I liked it better when he was just sat in the safe room and 5508291 people just ran at it. To be honest, I think Arab was fixing the whole thing. Everyone just magically gets killed by what he says.
Also, why is the witch always in a really obnoxious place? First time I startled it today though. So weird how she's slowly gets up and you're like "shiiiiiit".
I might have to buy this tomorrow but I'm still torn.

Think I've worked it out. The Tank has a lot of problems climbing obstacles and getting up the hole wouldn't leave him enough room to smash down the safe door, so it's a programmed glitch.

And the real dick move is chucking a pipe bomb at someone covered in Boomer puke. :)

Advanced difficulty, pistol only run. Zombie swarm comes, I start laughing insanely over the talk channel and yelling "The Cake is a Lie, the Cake is a lie!" while firing rapidly into a crowd.

Yes.

Also, the 'Oh, shit' moment when that Tank came around..... Pistols aren't really that good at taking down Tanks....

I always cringe when I hear that eerie music that a Witch is around....Frightening thing.

I never knew until one fateful playthrough that staring at a Witch for too long will cause her to claw your goolies off...

There was one time when I got separated from my teammates. I think a couple of them died or something, but anyways the important thing is that my friends were well behind me. I started walking forward when a smoker grabbed me and pulled me into a boomer who subsequently exploded and caused the horde to run after me. I was dead.

Also I just realized that we've already met the villain of Left 4 Dead, the AI Director. Damn him and his Zombie-spawning, level-rearranging shenanigans.

Actually I remembered you, I just didn't know you had an escapist account!

...and yes, I am the AI director everyone hates so much.

For me it was at the beginning of the Apt. level and we were seeing if we could just jump down and avoid the whole zombie mess... turns out you can get down without dying but its tricky. any who one of the guys makes the jump just fine I try and fail stuck hanging. A teammate trys to get me up but gets mobbed because apparently if you take to long the zombies come find you. any way one guy is down on the street unable to get back up to us and the other two are down on the ground after being knocked down by the mob and i'm hanging a couple stroies above the ground. hilarious if a little stupid on our part.

Someone sets off that bloody car alarm. I'm on about 2 health. So, being the brave young man I am I courageously lock myself in a closet. Those suckers on the street shoot frantically as I breathe a sigh of relief.

Until I realised there was a zombie in the closet with me.

She gouged my eyes. She gouged my eyes reeeal goooood.

I remember when we got hit by a tank and witch at the same time. Intense

Tip for that : bind fire key to scroll wheel and go crazy with double pistols

and i only have one thing to say.... ZOEY'S MINE AND YOU CAN HAVE HER

Okay so im playing wth some friends on advanced just for the hell of it, and Bill goes over and sees the the witch. We all turn off our lights and Francis has the hunting rifle so he looks at the witch and says"IOh no dont cry. Its okay. do you wanna chocolate bar? Did your boy freind dump you. it it just your time of the mon-" right then the witch rushed and killed him. I through a molotov and then the witch carged me and my idiot friens walked into the fire and died.

So i am at the end of the the apt. level i have left a other survivors in the safe room i leave the subway entrance and camp behind the van next to the subway.

About five minutes later i hear a loud noise ,it is a GIANT horde sprinting for the subway entrance they complety miss me (even though i am right next to them) they all bum rush into the station entrance like the last train is leaving for the night.

then i rember i left the survivors behind i laught so long just because the way they missed me.

I betrayed my team and left the safe room and ran back in when like 50 zombies were on my tail and I closed the door and all the zombies arms were reaching through the door and just the picture made me laugh uncontrolably and the door wouldnt even open because of them and so I got the honor of blowing there heads off

meatloaf231:
My teammates don't stand very close to me anymore.

I would, as long as you're nearby I'm perfectly safe!

I shoulda just titled my thread this.

For one thing? My friend has HL: DJ or something else that lets him play songs on Steam. Or maybe just a mic. But the screaming sound-bytes and the exquisitely timed 'Dear Sister' segments...that's just good gameplay.

1. The second level, we got three hordes. The first was the big batch of zombies off the get-go, then the second surprise-horde. Then downstairs, we got Boomer'd, which is where it all went to shit. Brothers and my friend, so the Brother's are with each other. They go down swinging, but they're getting gangraped by the zombies. Buddy gets mobbed (I haven't been touched yet), and I try and throw a pipe bomb. But it bounced off a zombie and landed on his chest. 'Mmmwatcha say' and I just kinda laugh. And then a Smoker gets me. But, this was a Tongue Snipe. He got me FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE LEVEL on an angle so improbable I question God's intent for me. So I get dragged back, helpless. But wait, no, I'm caught. The jagged concrete has made for a small inset that can allow a tongue, but not me. So I'm hanging now. And now, the horde only has dead people to play with, but now I'M JUST HANGING THERE.

Grabbing hands. So many grabbing hands.

2. Blasting the car alarm in Level 1 and then shooting the survivors of my fuckery in front of the safe room. Then going and using all the health kits so I have 99 health. Hilarity.

Well, first of all, I consider myself a very above average FPS player, and most of my friends are as well. Anyway, we've been playing the full game on expert, and I'm happy to say that we have been getting ROCKED! I woke up around 3 in the afternoon (no class today since chem lab caught fire) and picked up the game. I came home, popped it in, and two of my friends from my hometown were playing. I come in, and they're like "all right, now we can do this". We've been playing for 5 hours now, and we just beat the first chapter after the demo on expert (a 20 min. run through on normal). I've never had so much fun getting completely stomped with my friends!

Anyway, so I'd have to say my favorite moment is on section 1-3 (the only one I've actually beaten in the six hours of playing),

I just recently ought the full game and decided I wad going to play versus mode. What could be more fun than being a better zombie than the AI? So to my luck I get a boomer. I saw one of my partners jump off the roof to get a better starting point to attak the survivors and though that it might be in my best intrest to do the same. Only I forgot that boomers pop when they jump from too high. Luckily my sacrifise was not in vain since I was than a tank. After hitting a few survivors I got into the moment and shouted SHoruken as I hit one of the last two alive, leaving my team mates laughing and forgetting that they were supposed to be killing the last two with me.

Ahh Boomers. Fun tactic, jump from on high and land in the middle of people. You pop but you spray EVARY ONE.

Actually I love being the boomer really, only zombie that can kill others without directly exposing himself to danger.

Dead Air on expert. We're on our second tank encounter in the parking garage (level 3 I think) and three of our team (including myself) have just been KO'ed by the burly bastard. We tell Kapitol, our last remaining survivor to run for the safe room. He passes the witch on the skybridge but gets away just before she freaks out, the tank is hot on his heels. He reaches the safe room, turns around and locks the door just as the tank barrels through the skyrbidge. Then he gets killed by the Boomer and Hunter that were 'in' the god damn safe room. Brutal.

Oh and on dead air level 2. We're clearing the building and I check the bathroom then tell everyone else it's now our horde defense room. About a 50 seconds later the scary music chimes in and everyone barrels into to the bathroom and covers the door. At which point a horde, literally an entire fucking horde comes sprinting out of one of the bathroom stalls. It was like a fucking clown car.

Pardon me for being stupid. But is the Tank on a timer? (Who said that?) He dies after a set amount of seconds? Then why the hell am I wasting bullets on his bulky ass?

I only played for half an hour and I'm waiting for the full game to Download, so can someone tell me about the witch?

I think I was playing with Groovy Pants and Pheonix the other day when we heard the crying.
"Lights off!"
"How do I turn the light off?"
"Press F Damnit!"

Haha, I remember that moment.
Well the witch is basically a thin more nimble version of the tank, she's usually crying in the middle of the map and if you get too close to her or alert her, she gets up and takes a whack at you, on expert if she knocks you down you die.
That's why she's so deadly.

Oh, for the record, sorry I shot you so much.

I really want to get this for PC so I can host an Extravaganza for it with Kitten.

There's a funny glitch I've seen on L4D that's happened twice: After killing a Hunter that's knocked down a teammate, sometimes, blood will continue to spew everywhere from said teammate like the Hunter's still clawing at him (although the teammate will neither take any damage nor show any signs of discomfort).....And the sound effects are there, too- except the ones of the Hunter screams...

Both times I've seen it, it's only lasted for 10 seconds or so. Still, rather funny

Wasn't so funny when it happened, but it is in retrospect. I was playing with two mates, we werere working through the whole of the no mercy campaign, just before the finale they had to leave for work so it was just me and some bots. I manage to hold off quite well until I see the helicoptor fly by to pick us up, then I get hit off the roof in one hit by a tank...

Just recently. Death Toll. Church. "Open the door!" - "DING DONG!"

We hold off the horde, and then I impulsively open the door getting ready to shoot the ****er, and he turned into a boomer and vomited on us and a remaining horde killed us because we had practically no health and ammo.

I always find it funny when you kill a zombie that's in mid air then they turn to slow-mo and sorta float to the ground. That, and molotovs all round are pretty funny, especially when you've been vomited on.

This just happened to my brother 5 minutes ago. Versus mode, as a hunter on the hospital scenario. Down one of the halls is Louis on low health, him in the room beside. Once he's crouched he comes out, but he moved a tad faster than he had anticipated, so he leapt after him, only to be shot by an auto shottie.

Except that once he died, he flew all the way back down the corridor, ridiculously fast. We both laughed pretty hard, but that wasn't the end of it, oh no.

Once we came to the "You are dead" screen, we were pleasured with watching a painting on the wall slowly falling onto the dead hunter! Fun times were had by all.

Eh, one time on Left 4 Dead we were on No Mercy and on that second to last part of the "campaign" if you can call those short parts levels, and as we were playing Versus, a Hunter was running after us and jumped. Luckily, my friend moved in time for the Hunter to jump right past him... off the building.

There's a part of the game where someone wrote "We're the real monsters!" and all the writing below it goes nuts ("have you been outside?") but at the very bottom there's this small writing that says "I miss the internet". It made me laugh pretty hard.

I just joined this site because I saw this topic and had to get in on it. (Don't get me wrong, I'm actually pretty interested in the site too)

Funniest moments:

1: My first time playing Left 4 Dead, a friend and I did the blood harvest campaign. WE were just to the point where you can jump of the small cliff onto the train tracks with the warehouse next to it or onto the warehouse itsself. I opted for the roof, but my friend just couldn't get the jump right. So, frustrated, she yelled "I hope you get ripped apart by a hunter!" Just as the last syllable left her mouth, a hunter jumped on and killed her.

2: Shortly afterwards, I bought the game for myself instead of just playing my friend's copy. It was into my first hour that I found out you could melee with the gas cans. When a hunter tried to leap on me, I beat it to death with one. I know, it doesn't sound funny. But watching Zoey beat a hunter with a shiny red gas can is pretty amusing.

3: When I walked past the large graffitti in the offices that says "GOD IS DEAD" and Zoey said in a horrified voice, "Oh no, the zombies killed God!" She sounded so serious too.

4: Every time I hear a hunter, I cringe. Something about them just frightens me. And so, when I hear the scream I always do a 180 turn and screech as loud as I can. Well, last time I did, I was on a plank and the hunter fell short. He was in full leap and I just watched as he fell in front of me in slow motion.
