For the record, there are 12-15 more zombies per horde on the PC version than on the 360.
The more you know.
Need…new…content…
patches wounds…Yeah. I figured that 
I watched some 360 expert vids and went “?!?!?!!”. Makes sense that you would get rushed by more though, since you have better reaction time and aim with the mouse/keyboard combo over the 360 controller.
thanks for the info. yea i know about the pipe bomb to get it to move but sometimes it still doesn’t work even after 4-5 pipe bombs. and the hordes didnt do shit, we ended up killing ourselves cuz there was nuthin else to do.
i play splitscreen on 360 w/ my friend so not havin a mic is not that big of a deal. i gotta ask him if it’s cooo to share his gametag. cuz we need better players to play w/.
tonight was annoying. fuckin scrubs. when they’re survivors they kill one of their members every time and of course get owned. by the finale, they gave up and killed each other. lame.
damn it valve, we need more maps on 360!
so on pc, can you play as the other two maps already on vs?
yeah that was bullshit, ill play again and this time i try harder so i dont:
-shoot the car
-startle the witch
-burn everyone…twice
i swear i didnt mean to although it was pretty funny.
Anyone know if they removed some of the shortcut routes in the patched PC version? In the 360 version there are certain places where you can avoid alerting the horde by jumping over barriers.
-Busting down the door next to the semi on The Sewers level in No Mercy instead of activating the lift.
-Jumping over the barrier in the Construction Site level of Dead Air.
-Hitting the minigun a bunch of times to jump over the hill on The Town level of Death Toll to skip activating the forklift.
-Using the minigun to jump on top of the plane on the Dead Air finale.
It’s all good. It is stuff like that the makes the game so entertaining (unless it is randoms, then it is just annoying as they are usually doing it to be cunts).
Complete change log for all of the PC patches:

I don’t know if it’s on that list, but on the PC nah you can’t melee down certain doors now, atleast the most noticeable one in No Mercy chap 3, you can’t melee it down anymore. EVERYONE on the 360 does it though, they use all the shortcuts.
And both versions still just have No Mercy and Blood Harvest for vs right now.
Can’t wait for the SDK, it’s going to be too good. I want to play the Dawn of the Dead mall.
To those unfortunate to be running Vista, do you guys know how to get autoexec.cfg to work in your L4D?
No Mercy was a trash map, before the fixes. Only maps 2 and 5 gave you a chance of a wipe. And even those two weren’t terribly difficult. We had scrims where both teams completed every section without a player being taken out. It was just a matter of health bonuses. With the fixes, 2,3, and 5 are all a little more difficult for the survivors. Blood Harvest is a much better map overall, though. Only part 4 of that one is garbage. You can speed right through it. Only hope is a good tank spawn.
There’s also a larger bug that we figured out a couple weeks ago. When you start you generally get two hunters. Spawn those, but way away from the survivors. Don’t attack. Just wait. Then have the other two suicide their classes, repeatedly. Keep doing this until you get hunters, and you’ll eventually have four alive at once. Then just sit at a sewer mouth or ladder, something that requires them to move single file, and it’s game. Pretty lame. But it’ll make the other team furious, if that’s your goal.
hah! thats awesome although i dont think its a bug because i think the game is programmed to change classes after x number of consecutive spawns as the same unit. i totally aggree about BH part 4, if everyone is moving fast, only a good tank spawn can stop the survivors, much like NM act 4.
Fuck bitches who are basically FULL HEALTH, and REFUSE to share their medpack with someone who is low on health…
lol wut?
I don’t know if this was posted already, but:

hehehe…
Yeah, it’s programmed that way, but I think they should never allow more than 3 hunters up at once. A good infected team can just force 4 hunters and wipe every time. I’m fairly sure they banned that from all ladder matches, though.
A similar wipe on act 5 of No Mercy is to bring everyone to the roof, except the boomer. You have the boomer hit them right out of the safe room, then suicide it. It generally gives you another hunter. So 3 hunters and a smoker. The smoker pulls from the satellite, nabbing the first one up the ladder. Then the hunters pounce the three who come up (usually one will drop off the ladder, so you have to get the last hunter to pounce down the ladder entrance), and that’s game. It’s a tough combo to beat as survivors, even when you know it’s coming. It works on pubs every time.
And yeah, both act 4s are too easy. Especially since the hunter-slash nerf. Now hunters are only decent on outdoor levels (pounce damage) and in pairs/triples.
Is there a weekly server refresh or something?
The servers are so bad, I miss shotgun blasts pointblank. This can’t be my connection cause I run that FIOS.
So far, connection wise 360 > PC, the people playing in the game probably running torrents.
The shotgun is always a little odd., as are the hit boxes when enemies are real close. The trick is to shoot much more downward than you’d think. Even if you only hit the feet, it’ll kill zombies all the same, and less chance of friendly fire. Low-aimed melee spam tends to catch hunters more as well, for some strange reason.
I don’t want to come off condecending when say, that I already knew that.
Thing is, that’s not the issue here, the servers really are bad right now. The shotgun was just what I was using last. Every weapon I used would miss target, the infected would freeze at a distance you staring right at them and then 1 sec later be in your face melee’ing, you’re melee’ing off a horde and then it freeze up close and your life starts getting shaved down out of nowhere. You see 1 infected and then they freeze, and then 4 are running toward you from a corner you never take your eyes off of. You throw a pipe bomb and the infected stay in place, after pipe bomb explodes all the infected are gone, etc. Red text saying reconnecting to server, etc.
The servers are terrible right now, and in every room I’ve been in, the players have agreed.
No worries. I just hear people say “I shot him in the face!” all the time, concerning the shotgun, and they’re always just aiming too high for this game.
But I haven’t had many server issues outside of 3rd party ones, or if I’m playing with West Coast friends and my ping is above 150. They were bad for the first week or so, but it’s been fairly steady for me since. Might just be my area though.
