Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I don't think you really need to spoiler that stuff. After all, there's an entire game mode built around something similar. Dead Center seemed like it was an introduction to that except in campaign form.

Getting the cola was kind of frustrating. I was playing single player, and the AI characters wouldn't go anywhere unless I went ahead first. But I couldn't go ahead first, as I needed them to clear the way through the zombies for me, because I couldn't attack and carry the cola at the same time. The zombies just kept walling me in, preventing me from going anywhere. Eventually there was a break in 'em so I could go through. Had I been on a harder difficulty, it probably would have been even worse. Luckily I was on easy. XD

I like Survival Mode in the Mall. Nice and big. With kind-of-trap-doors (breakable glass in the flooring). And if you decide to defend the supply kiosk, you get a bunch of ammo and guns and immediate access to medkits. And pills; Coach has to have his pills.

That's why you pick it up, chuck it when you've got zombies running at you, take care of business and then pick it up again.

anyone got good idea for boomervial? Best thing i can think of is throwing it on the tank. Otherwise it's just about as effective as a pipe bomb that doesn't explode.
Also, it makes the computer-controlled Infected who step in it attack each other. On easier difficulties it doesn't really have any effect, but on Expert, you can clear an entire horde or even a Tank with it.

If you don't mind a snipery-Englishman playing with you, I'd be happy to participate, likely this weekend though.

Tomorrow would be alright, as long as it's after 12:00 GMT. I have a lecture before that and I need to get home.

@MagmaDeath: It's almost 10 PM for me (GMT+1), so I don't think I can manage that. I'll be going to sleep in a few hours.

Fun things happened in L4D2 thus far:

1. Riding and dropping two survivors from the top of the sugar mill to the bottom in one life.
2. Riding a survivor to the bottom of the sea in the Bridge.
3. Playing the awesome Dark Carnival finale for an hour trying to beat it on advanced and finally succeeding.
4. Being scared out of your wits seeing a wandering witch approach the only door of the room you're holding up in.
5. Playing Versus with you guys.
6. Setting the tank on fire on the Bridge and rushing ahead leaving it raging behind.
7. Seeing one survivor of our team managing to run through the Bridge to rescue in Versus, the rest of the team having perished at 30%.
8. Lots of other things I don't manage to remember, many of them probably involving spitters.

Cool game.

Do you not get to choose your infected still?

With all the new ones, i'd have assumed that you'd be able to.

7. Seeing one survivor of our team managing to run through the Bridge to rescue in Versus, the rest of the team having perished at 30%.

I did that in a campaign. The tank incapped the other three survivors with a single car, and I ran all the way to the end. It may have been the finest thing I've ever done in any video game. I then played the same map on versus and charged a guy straight off the bridge. Fun.

Also, playing Swamp Fever. Just got the three living survivors onto that slooooow ferry. There's a witch right on the other side of the river. What do we do? Will she die in the water? Cue debate. Indeed, a witch will die in the water. She will also get punted fifty meters away when your ferry moves over her corpse.

I couldn't fully watch the video because of your horrifying avatar, but what's with the explosions?

Hm. Maybe I'm just thick. <'.-3
