I don't know what it is, but the past couple of versus games, like 10 or so, have been intense. I've had people actually using the potential of the infected(wall jumping, attacking from behind), the basics, working as a group as the infected...and the entire level of play has become intense. Probably cause the veteran players are coming out to try out the updates though...:(

Already Posted.

There was an exploit for the Hunter & the Smoker, though there was two ways for the Hunter, and one way for the Smoker, to get the witch startled, which would attack then nearest survivor. They've patched these though. Smoker is so awesome now though. People are having to stick tightly together, or they're screwed, lol. It's also funny when a red and green person are together, and you get the green person, and drag him, thus the red person can't catch, or keep pace with the speed of the drag, which is really funny. It's not old, but it's much more intense now that the smoker deals damage while dragging.

Don't talk about hype. Don't compare the game to the hype that has been created. Aventurine has not been advertising the game and does not want hype around the game. This is shown because they weren't expecting 200k people applying for the beta, they only wanted or expected much less. They also know that hype kills games before they're even released. No game, on launch, can live up to any hype that has been created. Every game launch is different in one way or another, whether it be bugs, missing content, exploits...etc, the hype doesn't always include, or tolerate the basic things that will happen on launch, which undercuts most games on release anyways, especially MMO's.

So is walking off the map with Zoey, which they didn't patch.

I like both PvP & PvE content the same. I need PvE to keep my PvP exciting, I need PvP to keep my PvE interesting. There needs to be a balance for me, and Darkfall sounds like that balance. People need both PvE & PvP, but in different amounts. I need both equally as much, complimenting each other, and that is why I'm so interested in Darkfall, as that is the main appeal. Regardless, there's been three updates: #0 Official Post By Tasos On the Forums: Link: http://forums.darkfallonline.com/showth ... p?t=106082 "Darkfall Release Schedule" [hide=Quote] [/hide] #1 - Ten Ton Hammer Darkfall Interview Link: http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/61490 *There is a forum post about this by Brandoc* [hide=Quote] [/hide] There's three new content pictures located on the TTH page as well. #2 - Little Leak Source: http://darkfallleaks.blogspot.com/ [hide=Quote] [/hide] The Useful Information - January 22nd will become Open Beta, but not all 300k registered forum users will be able to get in; Relatively around 70k or so will most likely get in; Both Americans & EU - February 25th is the EU official release, with pre-orders available in mid February; American release is potentially months away from February - Digital download distribution first, physical later - All that I cared for besides the smaller, long awaited stuff Darkfall, Left 4 Dead, Combat Arms...so many things got updated today! Lol. =P

So many good fixes. Bug/Improvement Fixes > Content. Kinda sad we can't use that machine gun exploit...=P

When I open FF, or chrome my default page(to open with the previous tabs) is this: http://darkfallreleasedate.com/ Forcing myself to remember sadly. And here's a leak blog site where there's at least one leak posted every two days, usually daily: http://darkfallleaks.blogspot.com/ Three confirmed leakers are spilling information out on there, and by the way it sounds it'll be Open Beta on the 22nd, with tons of things turned off.

It doesn't need to dent WoW at all to be a revolution. There's far too many people playing WoW that would die rather than switch over to another MMO. Whether it's because of how good the game actually is, or from just plain addiction and fear of losing the items they've accumulated over time is debatable, since that is really what the game is anyways, and thus would be why the game is good. However there's several reasons why: - RTC (Even though now it's not revolutionary, it was back in 2003 or whenever) - PvP Oriented Game; Haven't seen one of these in a long time; Especially with RTC - Free For All PvP = No safe spots, always in danger - Skill-based, not level based, meaning you'll still be able to put up a reasonable fight against someone who has been playing longer, or you may just beat them if they suck in player skill - First-person view for combat, while third view for resting; Weird in an MMO - The world's land mass exceeds 8 hours to cross - The servers can old over 10k players per world - There's underwater exploration, with monsters and sea life & naval warfare (you can be a pirate by raiding ships and such) - GvG centered; with tons of seige weaponry, and building variety Too much for me to remember why it's different and will be popular. It doesn't have revolutionary concepts, but it has those concepts, and put them all together, or so say they.

I've done 37 damage for pouncing from a very high building...so I can believe 40, or more. Yes it's in the 360 version.

40 for landing on them, 2-3 swings are 35 damage. Majority will be incap'd.

Surprised at me doubling post on this topic... [hide=Image][/hide] FINALLY got it after playing versus for like 7 hours today, most annoying thing ever, especially if you're just one step too close, it won't count, and if there's anything blocking the drag path. :( Also: Left4dead411.com presents: Source: http://www.left4dead411.com/news/2009/0 ... s-day-off/ ^Read it for all the news in the post NEW PATCH SOON? Linked by L4D411 to here: http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/56721 Read the forum post & topic here: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/s ... p?t=784064 Confirmed several pages in or so. Bottom Line We're getting a patch within the next 4 days!! I don't know if it's a patch or an update for bugs. Hopefully it's both, or at least bug fixes. Either way I'm happy. ----- They posted about some dude who does hunter pounces very well, I was kind of skeptical to why they were posting the youtube video on their site, and thought the guy had payed them off, but in reality he just made his third video of hunter pounces and they're quite good. Here's the first one; Note I think the second one is the best, along with the third: [hide=L4D Versus Hunter Pounces Montage Part 1]*Watch your speakers xD tuCgdhqZZ4c [/hide] [hide=L4D Versus Hunter Pounces Montage Part 2]I3uvOeE8N3U [/hide] [hide=L4D Versus Hunter Pounces Montage Part 3]vDU6o7IoAGU [/hide] They're pretty good in my opinion.

I posted the above, and then thought to myself, wait a second, just go to NM Ch5 repetitively... [hide=image][/hide] Was surprised to find it only took like 30 minutes from 50 kills. *And that picture looks awesome on my desktop. <3 - I also just did Dead Air too on Expert, so now only Death Toll & Blood Harvest.

Can you not get achievements on versus playing with friends only? Or is there some kind of human player count that you need for achievements to be enabled in a versus game? Friend and I couldn't get any versus achievements at all. Like he couldn't get the boomer achievement (we also tried to get him like 4 others, and I tried to get Big Drag and All 4 Dead, didn't work). I also got Man vs Tank yesterday, was pretty happy. Yesterday or last night was pretty eventful. Got like 4-6 people trying to get untouchables on Death Toll & Dead Air. Death Toll is a very easy one to do for untouchables, the only problem is getting out of the way for the tank throwing the rock. I think if we had kept at it and not done 5 rounds we would have gotten it. Dead Air is easy but not as easy as Death Toll in my opinion, even with being on top of the airplane. The problem here was that after the second tank died, we'd drop down to the back of the plane, but for some reason there was always fire, propane tank, or a random zombie there that got that hit in. To be honest either one works exceptionally well, it's just fine tuning the small things to get it right. Still 40/51 achievements now! --- Also can anyone suggest a campaign to do the Red Mist achievement?

His rock is to the right of where they were standing. That strategy for it does look more promising than on NM, for one DT is open concept more than the small NM. I'll have to regroup the trroops later tonight to try it out! & thats a nice UI for the xbox.

I've just been out-smarted again. Good game.

You can't select the chapters in versus or campaign. In solo you can though. Remember I did this with friends, not by myself this time. I don't know if you xbox failures can select the chapter for campaigns/versus.

Four like 6 hours last night we kept trying to get untouchables but it didn't work out because of one guy. Every time he got hit once, and right near the end too. We went through No Mercy like 16 times, lol!

It's not really about the O/S, but about the hardware. Stop comparing O/S's, and look at the hardware you'll most likely encounter and need. You will adjust to the O/S or software that you get. Regardless of how easy it is to use or not. Windows and Mac's do not have any major software issues that will 'waste' your time more than 2 minutes of extra clicking for either O/S per day. If you're using this laptop for university or whatever, and it'll be for research, writing essays, social networking and such, just get a netbook. If you're wanting to do anything more than just simple programs and such, like gaming on the side or when you have free time, then it's obviously a laptop. But it will still be less expensive than mac hardware. There is no reason to buy a mac unless you were raised with one, or can't figure out simple problems, and immediately condemn whatever is causing the problem. Usability > reputation. To be honest though just give us a more detailed list of what exactly you'll be doing on the computer, and anything you may find yourself doing for fun or extra in your 'spare' time. Then we'll be able to give you computers that can get the job done, with ease, and for cheapness.

Yea...friends are hard to come by on Tip.It, and friends that play on the PC just suck way too much. 3 Going to try what Folmer suggested now though.

That sounds annoying and frustrating. :) - I'll try it Folmer, thanks!

The bots don't just respawn. You have to open a closet or other enclosed spaced to have them respawn which you can't do if you're right next to the radio. And yes, you can do it on Death Toll. When all bots die. Those two doors on No Mercy's rooftop will close. And they will spawn as soon as you hit that radio. This is why you can't do it in solo. You can do it in Campaign with others, but you gotta be lucky to make sure no1 joins the game. Also, I'm skeptical on Death Toll, so you can do this: - Kill all bots - Hit the radio without them respawning in any area - Doing this while in Solo Which you can't since you can't destroy the door in the pavilion, or in the bathroom/closest until after the radio is hit. You're most likely talking about Campaign though, which it is entirely possible if you keep people out.

I meant impossible by killing all the bots, without them respawning. Which you can't do on Death Toll either.

Can't do solo and kill the bots. You can kill them, pretty easily when you change the difficulty to expert, then change it back to easy. What makes it impossible is that there's the two doors in the rescue room in solo, that can't be broken until after you start the finale. Darn Valve!

I think you can but I'm not entirely sure on the untouchable one. But the way they worded it, it does sound plausible.
