Happy birthday! :-)

lol if he went I would go. I am actually closer now and could have tried. Maybe next year?

lol nice tree. Carlos you should use your mic. I love how you shout things at us in the videos but we don't hear it. 

I will try to be on tonight to destroy you one more time. 

lol I hate to have missed this. I remember playing out a similar map, I think it was Death Toll with some folks that aren't around anymore. We went through and survived a witch farm, got all the witch achievements that you don't see anymore like Cry me a River. I want to say Tsunami and/or Gravity Kitty was there for it. 

Thanks for posting the video! 

I'm not sure if you could make a rock throw not do damage, but for that matter a 1hp tank that cannot heal would be neat. Or if it bought a heal, it would only have 1hp. 

I think typically those 3 maps clear out the server at times. Though some of the other maps are getting so stale that it is causing the same result.

I am not sure why server 2 (I believe it's server 2) can't load Swamp Fever. I think the only complaint that I remember being that it's hard for infected to spawn into some areas. But the finale is fun as is the first area. I'd love to see it back in rotation for Server 1 at least. Admins can always switch the map to something else if people ask and don't want to play it. As I said before this almost always happens for Passing and for the same similar reasons (hard to spawn as infected in some parts.)

Crash Course, I've never seen a bug with this one so I'm not sure either. 

Cold Stream while not being an original campaign, Valve did adopt it as one so why would it be an issue? I know some folks don't care for it but again it would be nice to have in rotation. It's a fun map with all the death charge opportunities. 

Not sure if this is a good idea, but how does magnums-only sound to you guys? It could be like VIP, except there would be 10 survivors using them and you can still send points to each other.

 

If people want map variety, then maps like Crash Course, Cold Stream, and Swamp Fever could be on the map rotation. The problem is that I've heard that the servers have issues running those good maps.

I would love to see those added to the rotation. People say they clear the server out, but so does the Passing and it's still on there. What problems do they have on the server?

If low gravity is ok to use (does it auto reset to normal gravity when a new map loads? Or another one of those maybe things?) We could put it up as part of the vote when a skip is asked. Usually we only skip if the score is too one-sided or if it's a bad finale for infected. Might be a good idea to add these as options when we make a skip vote, add in charger dodge-ball or gravity, along with skipping or no skip.

I'd also like to see more use of them custom maps. It's a shame they can't be added to the normal lineup of maps. Would have been nice to allow any missing game data to automatically download/install for those who don't have it.  

I think ultimately the main way to get things fresh again would be to add major game modes, buyable items that take time and debugging to get right. It'd be cool if we could add scavenger or other mutations as an option, even if we treated it as a special occasion like VIP. Wish I knew more about the programming to be of real help with that, but I'd be happy to help test sometime! 

lol I threw that car across the map to kill you. Tons of fun. Good kills guys!

Also this kill finally made me figure out how to edit/cut the videos I've been recording during play. Here is my kill from my perspective.

haha @ you jumping and dying.

Are we voting in this post then? I vote for Burton. I love a good death charge.

lol

Whoa that's a long contest. Can't wait to single you out so hard. 

No biggie. I just joined I think as you said it. Everyone gets frustrated. It's probably a good idea you left to cool off.

You got banned because you were upset about the no cursing rule. Then you wanted to argue about it, got kicked, came back and then you called me a nazi. The ban is for a day. Please respect our community and rules if you want to play in our servers.

Sadly not getting much interest in this, but would be open to some sort of other contest too. We could even do a "kill looney" or "kill as many admins as possible" or something else

yay! new feature! It'll be fun to test. 

Yeah... lately infected seem like they need a buff. Everyone is getting very good at survivor. Not a bad thing, but makes it hard to be infected no matter how good you are as one.

There's only Reeling them in (for getting them at max distance?) and Hang em something, for using smoker like 5-6 times.

Since its been a long time since Ive had a membership, Im interested in this, I could possibly make a game or such, if that counts? Obviously related to the L4D2 server and people.

Sure if you create it I'll count it as art. 

For those of you too poor or unwilling to pay for a membership slot, listen up. I am offering to fund an art contest that will be judged by your peers. If there is enough interest anyway. So post here if you are interested. As it is now I'd like to open it up only to those who have been playing with us a long time and aren't currently paid members. (6 months minimum.) However if there's very few of those willing, I might open it up for folks to renew as well. 

Idea will be some sort of art submission, drawn, painted, 3D, music, whatever -- keep it clean and tasteful. Must be gaming related. You can use members personas as long as it's in good clean fun. 

Interested? If so I will edit this topic with the rules and stuff as we go along. This is open to any GC forum member/server on any of the games but I will post here first.  

I got rekt as VIP yesterday. Charger punches are my nightmare. I think I got it recorded but would have to search.

Charger and smoker points are fine, but I often wish you got some points for long distance charging. Sometimes I am charging someone and because someone shoots them before I start slamming them I think you get nothing? Or like 1 point or something. 

How about to balance the infected get an option to nullify the survivors buying unpin? So survivor thinks they can unpin and suddenly, "uh oh, your knife broke." or something. 

Tank HP increase purchase 

One deadly witch (not announced) 50 points?

Infected pills/adren or a bad defib 

If the infected dies from it, would survivor get a point from it? (I would think no would be the best answer there.)

That would be cool and change up the game some. 

Is there any way to halt the round from ending if someone is trying to self-revive with pills/adren? Sometimes I've been like a fraction of a second from being up and the round ends because someone else got incapped.
