Guess I'll add you too, heh. The list is looking more lively now.

And that happens a lot. For a shooting game player like me, fan of the trigger happy adventures, it's taking me a bit to get used NOT to shoot so much. I mean, I'm a grunt, just give me ze guns and let me fire nonstop jeez. I just imagine I'm flying on the Ether Vapor ship and firing nonstop. :V

Just played an Easy match and everyone got pwned by the big swarm dudes that go boom and, since there was no tech, had to quit... Can't solo here.

Has anyone beat the finale right when the bomb goes off? When the screen fades to white. It happened to me and everyone thought we failed.

Bananamatic · « **Reply #124 on:** July 21, 2010, 10:36:10 PM »

yeah, we got there
then one dude went on the phone, another lagged out, I died from the game freezing and the 4th dude got infected

Observer · « **Reply #125 on:** July 21, 2010, 10:37:59 PM »

Reached mission 5 and... INFECTED. So the only way to kill those crappy things is by being close to a medic right? It kept chewing my poor HP. Stupid infection! I'll cure it with a flamethrower.

edit: added Skye too. Well, it's shaping up. Now, did anyone try to enter a server from Steam server option instead of in-game? (I think that one lists dedicated servers or something right? *confusion*)

Mounting Jaggis · « **Reply #126 on:** July 21, 2010, 10:42:24 PM »

You can easily avoid those by paying close attention to what's ahead. It's also a good idea to stay behind the guy with the flamethrower. After a few games, you'll find that parasites are the least threatening enemy(provided your team doesn't suck balls)

Oh my god... :V

TWICE the same idiot stormed the front and, well, this isn't CounterStrike (and even there you shouldn't go to be the sacrificial goat...) so odds are you are going to get owned in no time.

Anyway, I reached critical mass with the lag so guess I can't play anymore until tomorrow so I dragged my brother to play Shatter. I blame this on the ISP being saturated by Facebook+Twitter+MSN users discussing whatever rotten show is on TV, probably the next clone/equivalent of "Dancing for/with..." (since it seems every freaking country has an equivalent show with people dancing for nothing, it's a global masterplan). Hurrrrrrr.

I'll add the rest of you, guys. Might be useful if and when I end up getting TF2 (on the next sale if N-Forza keeps tweeting about TF2 I'll end up brainwashed and getting it) or for RTSes like Supreme Commander, Starcraft 2 (whenever I get it =P) or something... Perhaps I should complain to the ISP and get double the bandwidth for the weekends.

The Tesla gun can slow the infection, shock armor can remove/prevent it, and medics. As Faith I would always drop a beacon as soon as someone was infected and they would be rapidly cured...treat it as fast as possible (the smaller the green bar, the quicker it can be cured).

I should note that the flashlight is one of the best support items ever. Why? It gives auto-aim.

I'm not good at using the flamethrower, I guess you're not supposed to use this thing sparingly .

also if you're the techie please don't stand in front of doors when they get knocked down, they instakill you. :colonveeplusalpha:

Mima-sama · « **Reply #140 on:** July 22, 2010, 02:36:31 AM »

Have any of you tried playing in first person mode?

edit: headcrabs gimme your steam info! You log into the skype group, may as well play with people there. :X

hyorinryu · « **Reply #141 on:** July 22, 2010, 02:53:33 AM »

I justr found out that you have to buy a game in order to add someone, but if some has not bought a game, can you add them?
EDIT: nvm. Also, is ther a way for me to check the latency of servers? It sucks how the alien will be 5ft away, yet it still hits me. Combined with camera rape, it becomes near unplayable.

Open the console and type in "openserverbrowser".

hyorinryu · « **Reply #143 on:** July 22, 2010, 03:21:22 AM »

Is that usable even when just checking out servers?

Vindicator = gimpy shotgun

The regular shotgun is like a cone-shaped murder beam.
