[Morsigil]

Morsigil, you make sense and your example sounds funny, but situations where those kind of things can be pulled off without anyone getting unhappy are really rare (I wonder what the Hunter thought). Also yes, I was speaking of frustration-based griefing.

But man, seriously, you have no reason to question other people's mental capabilities, I hardly think retardation has anything to do with opinions about cooperation and teamwork in an online game.

There's many things of which people can be too serious about (from other people's point of view) and debating about games is one of those things.

Or debating the opinions of others.  I'm talking about myself of course.

What the hunter thought could run the gamut, but to be very honest I'm sure he saw that there was only one other player on his team and that he was attacking him and just went to find a new game without too much thought at all. Maybe he thought we were all friends screwing around and he might've been a little miffed, but he'll get over it I'm sure.

And you're right, those situations are rare, which is why I think you guys are getting worked up over nothing. 99% of the time I'm playing the game as it is "meant to be played", and yet even the suggestion that I am not driven to make that number 100% set some of you off.

When did this conversation become so hostile?

The very second I responded to Umiman's unenlightened writings. 

Sweet, I just did a game in versus on boathouse finale.  The survivors were totally kicking our butts (although we did kill one).  They were just about to board the ship when I got the message, "Youring playing tank" or whatever.  I charge them up the dock, they were 1 second away from victory when I came in and knocked them all in the water, the rest of my team killed them all separately.  MUahaha.

Haha. Poor guys. Their dissatisfaction with that ending is inversely proportional to your satisfaction with it. Unfortunately, there isn't any other way around it when you're playing a competitive game, so I just savor the good times.

Dissatisfaction?  Hell, that's an AWESOME way to lose.  It's epic.

[ToonyMan]

The last guy was being hanged by a smoker form the boat (the smoker was on the boat hanging the last guy) so I decided to practice with the "punching bag" hahah.

[Zangi]

It really depends... in versus, its more likely to see people gripe/rage quit over it...

In regular play, it depends on how many times we failed before then...  More losses = more likely to be frustrating....

Ha, I feel sorry for people with 360's. Apparently, they don't get updates. Still, I feel more sorry for me, who can''t run the bloody thing

Morsigil is taking everything too seriously. Which is interesting because he's complaining about how we take games too seriously.

I agree, those situations are so mind-blowingly close I can't help but appreciate them. For instance, once I was the last dude alive and I was limping my way to the helicopter on the rooftop of Mercy Hospital, only to die a handful of feet from the helicopter because a tank lept right into my path.

Unfortunately, this was like our fourth or fifth attempt at the Expert campaign for No Mercy, so even though I appreciated it I would've appreciated it more if it were, say, a multiplayer game.

What I mean by dissatisfaction is that feeling of getting screwed when you've worked so hard to get to ze choppa, only to be pulled away at the last minute.

After the first couple times I habitualized, and now I just laugh and face palm when that kind of shit happens.

I know what you mean (I can't run the game), but to be perfectly honest, as a long time PC gamer, I'd rather not even play the game than play it on a 360. Consoles are such inferior devices for gaming, if not because of their method of player input than their relative inability to adapt.

[Sowelu]

Expert on singleplayer?  Man, you're a masochist.

Then again I've never even tried it on multiplayer, just advanced.

Actually, by campaign I meant the multiplayer campaign. I have yet to play the single player. All of my experience with the game has been via multiplayer campaign and versus.

I would probably throw my friend's computer out a window if I had to play on expert with bots. Just last game we had to rely on a bot during a versus match and Bill decided he would wander around me as a hunter disemboweled me for about 10 seconds before finally shooting the thing.

An NPC hunter, after a case of rage quit, decided he would chase the guy I was dragging with my tongue instead of the PC immediately behind him who was coming to free his survivor buddy.

[Nilocy]

Go for the wounded, always, it ties up everyones time and allows the infected to respawn. Its such a nasty clever vicious tactic. I love it

[WorkerDrone]

So who else here wanted to smack Zoey when she 'Called zombie bullshit'?

[Cthulhu]

Yeah, I hated the way she said that.  The tone of her voice made it sound like she thought it would be funny, and got nervous halfway through when no one was laughing.

[WorkerDrone]

She could have executed that one better, that's for sure.

Edit: Ha. Innuendo.

The 360 version is actually allot harder since you can't frigging aim, and you tend to drift sideways into doorways you're trying to run through thanks to the analogue sticks.
