A couple of weeks ago, Giant Enemy Blog posted a great little guide on how to achieve “ultimate victory” in Left 4 Dead’s Versus mode. Not only must you defeat your opponents in a match - you must also force them to ragequit. Included are some great tips on how to annoy people into leaving a match early as both the Survivors and the Infected. My favorite?
If you hear a Boomer, shoot through the walls. You’ll probably hit him, and then he’ll likely accuse you of hacking. Simply “lol” in response.
The same site also posted an article reminding us why the AI Director is as awesome as it is. Take a look at that, too.
In other Left 4 Dead news… Valve released an update for the Xbox 360 version of the game, with tweaks such as “fixed propane tanks (and other physics objects) causing players to fall through elevators”, “easier to pounce a Survivor who is meleeing”, and “reduced autoshotgun damage against Tanks”, among other things. Check out IGN.com for the full report. I know it’s kind of old by now, but it’s good to know if you hadn’t heard it already.
