Left 4 Dead 2 (360), Sunday Night Versus

[giant_frying_pan]

I'm assuming plenty of the old 360 Versus crew are picking this up this week, so why not continue the Sunday evening Versus tradition, maybe with a Scavenge mode game before or afterwards? Or maybe every other week should be dedicated to to Scavenge mode?

So who'd be in for Sunday at 19:00?

[Vemsie]

ll probably pick up the game tomorrow or on Saturday, so definitely up for this.

[electricant]

I'm down for this too. Also anyone who is a survivor short can add me to their friendslist.

I promise that I won't leave you incapped whilst I board the safety vehicle! (Mostly)

[giant_frying_pan]

Running tally of people in for Sunday:

1.) Vemsie

2.) electricant

3.) noob

4.)

5.)

6.)

7.)

8.)

I won't put my name down yet since my 360 I don't think has arrived today so no point hogging a slot if it won't arrive til early next week. Them's the breaks when you chase pre-order bargains from Tesco (although I think it's my sorting office being a bit dodgy/lackadaisical!)

[lankysanchez]

Not completely sure I'll be around on Sunday, but if I'm on, I'm in, as the saying goes. I'll certainly be on tonight & tomorrow (if my copy has arrived ) so if anyone wants to join up for some Campaign or whatever, let me know.

Keep the interest coming and we can work towards a second set of eight!

[giant_frying_pan]

For a complete beginner, you're pretty damn good! Versus is a different matter entirely though.

For tonights games, how about one game of Scavenge best of 5 to start with, random teams and then after that if the teams seem balanced, we can plough ahead with the main versus game? Will probably last 19:00 - 21:00 all in. I'll send out reminders to you all via XBL about half an hour before.

I think we should host the game locally today and from now on until the dedicated server congestion eases or improves (which I'm sure it will).

Lanky, if someone doesn't make it and we need an 8th, I'll keep an eye out for you.

Cool! I'll most probably be online, so if someone drops out, sling me an invite.

[lankysanchez]

PS What time is it all getting started?

[giant_frying_pan]

19:00.

We rarely did back to back full versus games in L4D 1 as they lasted so long (and I think it works well enough so as to not burn out the nights) but when we're done I'll be around for a bit more afterwards if you want some Vs/scavenge with/against randoms.

[giant_frying_pan]

You mean executing a cunning and deliberate diversion strategy?

[evilwallpaper]

oops sorry we didnt realise it was 7 and not 8

[giant_frying_pan]

Good games tonight all, despite a few connection and attendance issues

For next week should we do 19:00 or move to 20:00?

[lankysanchez]

Good games last night all! I had to drop out at that last disconnection anyway, so I missed the finale, boo. I felt that I was starting to get the hang of playing as Infected a bit as well. Looking forward to the next one!

I'm ok with 7pm myself - gives me more game time until I have to disappear at 10-ish.

[giant_frying_pan]

Starting a new set of eight! Since I was playing on Sunday, I'll only add myself if needed to make up the numbers. Starting from 19:30 this week! Good news is that the dedicated server issue has reportedly been fixed according to the L4D blog and anecdotal evidence.

Names down now!

[lankysanchez]

For this Sunday? IN.

[electricant]

IN!!!

[Sergeant Squid]

I'm down with the sickness

[evilwallpaper]

me and debs are in

[CraigO]

Is there a game going on this week? Count me in if so.

[poppa_f]

Anyone up for a quick campaign game?

[electricant]

Anyone interested in some versus tonight at around 7:30pm?

The 8 player versus game we set up in November was excellent fun, but nobodies shown much interest since.

[giant_frying_pan]

That's because I've been lazy and/or unavailable. I should be free tonight.

For next week, I'll make the effort and send out reminders ahead of schedule. Patch coming before the end of the month to fix everything on PC up to and including the latest update.

[Joyrex-J9]

Bought this on a random whim

Everyone has probably stopped playing by now, but if anyone fancies a game I'll be online tonight.

The missus is away so this is my one and only chance for a proper session, with headsets and all that good stuff

Oh and I'll be crap coz I won't have learnt the maps or new shit yet.

[freezycold]

Helloooo

I got given this as an Xmas pressie, but haven't touched it yet. The prospect of playing with total randomers really puts me off. Who wants to have the odd game??
