The Blink device is teh shit! Love that thing.

My Sarge line up is Vindicator, PDW and Hornet Barrage. Killtacular. Beat the campaign on normal after replaying the first 6 levels like 5 times, and still have more unlocks. Now time to screw with the map editor.

I'm level 13 now I think, having beaten the default campaign on normal. Now for me to create some hell-level in the map maker, or beat it on hard/insane mode...

Yep. Now I'm waiting for an update to the game so that I can play. It doesn't appear to be my hardware that's making it crash, as people on the Steam forums who have the same problem say they go beyond the Minimum Requirements and perhaps even the Recommended Specs.

In the meantime, playing L4D2 for my co-op needs.  :D

...what exactly does it do? I tried it once, off that fixed spawn in the last level... and couldn't figure out what the heck it was trying to do. Besides a bit of semi-random teleportation. (I then had to hurry off before my team forgot about me.  ;) )



Either way, I've been playing Medic, and I need a suggestion. I've been using a healgun, and whatever secondary tool I think the level needs... but what's a good primary? I've mainly been using the standard rifle, and that's fine... but there must be something better! What does everyone else use for a general weapon with no secondary weapon to back it up?

I prefer the flamer, as you know :D as a support weapon its great. Good for clearing out eggs and infested facehugger things, also needed for some objectives and does decent damage.
The only real problem is its a spread weapon so you gotta be careful not to flame your own people. Too much.

*Also i was sceptical about the medigun, i thought area effect of the medikit would be better. However upon usage i quickly realised its much more efficient and long term useful to have a medigun. It lasts longer, it hals quicker (which is essential to survive and help survive infestation) and it is mobile.

Thats my opinion anyway. Maybe we will unlock an alternate weapon :D

It teleports you to wherever your reticle is.

Played through on hard. We got stuck on the level where you destroy all the eggs and biomass. Those headcrabs are a pain in the ass.

Due to the shithead matchmaking, I will never find anyone with a ping under 150ms to me. So I will always be lagging and seeing spinning screen of madness. -_-

That has only happened to me when those small floaty aliens hit me. It might be a feature.

Happens to me with almost every single damage I take. It's really annoying.

Just finished the campaign on normal with some people from the Bay12 steam group and damn, is this game fun!

My favorite weapon is the testla rifle, since you can't hit friendlies with it and it slows down the enemies.
