Please stop using the "blocking" glitch in No Mercy. You know the one I'm talking about - you put the trailer in front of the elevator door or some such thing. Stop it. Please. It ruins the game. Honestly, if you aren't good enough to take a team down the old-fashioned way, play Halo.

I know, that pisses me off too, but then I feel better when we get to the finale where me and my team go under the ramp that leads to the helipad and proceed to destroy them, gettting around 2800 points and killing their score.

And that's why I have a pipebomb. Just in case.

You know, that one's okay. I've had a few rounds where we SLAUGHTERED the guys under the walkway. It takes a little teamwork, but it's easy to do. It's less a glitch and more strategy (a decent one if you can handle yourself). I usually won't do it unless the other team does the elevator glitch.

Crush the enemy's hopes and dreams, leave none before you, let the bloodied corpses of the slain trail your path. As you hoist their skulls filled with mead at the table of victory, give a prayer to those of your brothers who have fallen, to rest in the bosom of The Emperor.

Good times, good times.

Surely Valve will release an update to fix it soon?

There's far too many cheats in L4D, one that hasn't been mentioned is when you go in and out of observer mode as infected to spawn a million AI hunters and smokers.

I know, I wish that valve would just fix the glitch or remove the object all together. I hate this fucking glitch, so cheap

How? The survivors don't do the glitch, the zombies do.

This glitch has been around for weeks being openly used, it's not looking like that's happening soon

At least the survivors have their own glitches, like the AC in the beginning of No Mercy, and the jumping glitch in No Mercy 2.

Seriously though, that glitch is too cheap, even I wouldn't use it, even if I were desperate.

Sorry for the double-post, but I feel that Valve intentionally leaves these glitches. I have found so many, and I'm not even a hardcore player.

I would rather those bastards stop glitching altogether, especially those who go off and do it single handedly. considering that this is a TEAM game, and you don't profit from glitching at all, god I hate it.

Ah well, new left 4 dead content supposedly coming next week and supposedly including a new campaign WOOT.

By the way, are you guys playing this on pc or 360? I play on PC but I think it's a crime they charge you for content, not to mention Valve really seem to despise home consoles.

i dont really know what this glitch is exactly. Either way, versus isn't that great of a mode anyway. It's better to play campaign.

I never use glitches, I am a man of respect and principles, and respectful principles at that! But could someone tell me if your whole team being crammed into a closet is a clever strategy, or underhanded? My sources conflict.

Its a clever strategy, but I prefer not to do it. sometimes it can't be helped, but the hell if I'm gonna stand in the hallways by my self when no one else wants to.

That's just the thing. It's not clever. It stops the game in its tracks. It's not like you can get kills with the glitch - every time you attack, you're a sitting duck. I'm taking a long break from the game because of the glitch and the idiocy of most people who play this game, because it's not fun anymore. I believe it's one of the most replayable, genius games ever made, but I don't deal with this crap.

L4D is supposed to be a strategy game, but this glitch makes it just like any other average shooter - those who know the most glitches win. That sucks.

It is a great strategy and not underhanded because the closet was place there for a reason unlike the infinate hunter spawns.

to OP: 90% of the time you can get around it anyways with a combo jump crouch + wall jump. That or I have no idea what glitch your talking about

The closet is okay, If you have the reflexes to take out a hunter before he pounced on you in that tight of a space, go you.

It seems to me like I play with good people online... I don't know why.
Wait, it's because they're (mostly) Australian.

You can get past it if you all hit it enough. It takes about 10 minutes but you can get through it. There is also another thing soon after that where you move a forklift to block a doorway. That level can take half an hour.

What really sucks is the similar Glitch on the sewer level. They can move a garbage bin on top of the ladder that leads to the hospital. You can't get past it. That really pisses me off.

What I don't understand is why people kill me when I try to move it out of the way.

Most games when my team blocks the way I unblock it because (and I am serious) it offends my honour. But when moving it the traped surivors shoot me, and its not because they think I'm attacking. Sometimes they let me do it for a bit then just shoot me on sight.

So I just leave them to rot.

If you are a surivor and it happend, leave the game.

Yea. That's why there are metric-duckloads of prepubesent boys (or Squeakers as they are known by the 1337) infecting the servers.

Is this for "teh Xbaaawks"? I never had this problem on the PC and I'm a regular, avid player.

Although there's quite an updated coming, Valve'll fix this most likely.

Squeakers play Halo because it's popular not because it's easy and you know it.
So if you don't mind taking your fanboyism elsewhere.

oopsie... Yeah when this happened to me a smoker eventually moved it out of the way for us but I sort of shot him on instinct the first time. We actually thought it was some sort of AI Director thing, but now I know that people suck.

Kudos for helping though.

Valve doesn't hate us. Microsoft does. That's why we never get those updates because they argue about the price. Valve wants it to be free, Microsoft wants us to pay.

Don't play No Mercy then. Simple as that.
