go play
 
awesome! it's actually been awhile since i've played, may have to give it a go this weekend
 
I was playing Survival mode for a few hours last night and it's awesome....very addicting. Last Stand is insanely hard. I was barely able to get to a Bronze medal (surviving 4min) in the hour or two that I was playing that map. The hardest part is that tanks tend to send me flying right off the map into the ocean....there's not much of a chance for survival when that happens, lol

we got just over 5 minutes. We were doing it on the roof under the ledge that right next to the ladder that goes up to the light house. It worked out rather well for hte most part. the tank throwing you off was a bad point. I think we could have lasted longer there but we lit our selves on fire also. It is a defensible area. The smokers have a hard time getting you or they climb up. Nothing comes over the top from the light house. Tanks are fairly easy if you have a shotgun or two because soon as they start climbing the roof you just pound them.

Then again.... we still got killed every time.
 
The developer record for Last Stand is just about 9 minutes!

Someone told me that there is a trick/exploit to get you 13+ minute times, apparently there is somewhere on the map to hide?
 
I wish you could download a packet to install this instead of having to connect to steam... I guess I will have to wait since dial-up is not going to cut it here.
 
Played 2 hours last night. Hadn't played in a while, as it was getting old.

5 min 47 seconds at the lighthouse. Did the best while on the roof of lighthouse with rifles, occasionally going down to reload, etc...Biggest issue are smokers at that point.

Finding a server was the biatch though...didn't find a ping under 150 all night.
 
Left 4 Dead is still full price on Steam. I was hoping for a half price deal similar to the Team Fortress Scout offer last month. I'm going to hold fire until it comes down again.

All of the stores have moved up their prices to full price now the DLC has come out. Bastards! It was £14 or $22 yesterday!

tekmet - >150ms pings. That must be virtually unplayable! I understand you can't select your server it automatically selects a 'duffer' for you. This puts me off somewhat

Put "-serverbrowser" in your launch options.
 
* Fixed an exploit where you could load the chamber of a weapon with bullets by holding down the melee key

Does that mean no reloading while bashing? Being a survivor just got exponentially harder.
 
people have already found the semi-god spots and are lasting extremely long times.

It's for something else.

There was an exploit whereby a survivor could fire the entire clip from the uzi and M16 in an instant (as in all 50 bullets in less than a second). That's what they fixed.
 
Some friends and I got golds on all the No Mercy Survival maps last night. Gas Station and Hospital were easy, only the Generator Room was kind of challenging, but on our second game we got our tactics right and did over 12 minutes. We actually hit 19 minutes on Gas station too.

But Last Stand... Yeah, that one is ROUGH.
