Wednesday, February 25, 2009 Inadequate...

Map: Blood Harvest Bridge...
4v4 Versus...



Beaten by a girl... Soundly beaten...
I felt rather inadequate and useless this round...

Ahhh chat, how you humor me...

Map:No Mercy Sewers...
4v4 Versus...





These screenies are from different games, but the same map...
The chat text on the left provided small amounts of humor to us playing...

We are 1337...

Map: No Mercy Subway...
4v4 Versus...



All 4 survivors jumped down the hole at the start of the level...
Louis was smoked as he was last, and pulled under the saferoom...
Francis came back to help, only to find a hunter waiting...

Our boomer kept the other 2 occupied, and when one finally came back, he was also hunted...
When the final survivor had realized what was going on, Francis was already dead, and our hunter enjoyed his second kill...

We did well in our turn as we do, and Omega shot the car setting off its alarm on his way past... Hence his shifty eyes...

But in the end, our score was 1337...

Close Scoring... Part 6... Smoker FTL...

4v4 Versus...



We would have won this match...
Except our Survivor in the APC at the end was grabbed by a smoker and pulled back out the door... There was no chance for the zombies to accidentally free him either... We lost when it happened...

So for those who get the chance, try this...

The world owes me now...

I thought this was a zombie game, not a ghost game...

Close Scoring... Part 5...

While I may have been on the not yet winning team here, we came back to win in the end...

11 for 4...

Easy Campaign...



We went achievement hunting...
In one run, we got 11 between 4 people...

Mass Zoey Grave...

Map: Blood Harvest Finale...
Expert Campaign...



Friend of mine needed only BH to complete What Are You Trying To Prove...
We completed this the night before, with me being the only one to survive...
So we did it again, and again, and again...

For this run, she was on low health when we arrived at the house, and we wanted to try hold out in the barn... So she ran to the barn and had us kill her...

Then we revived her with 50hp, she picked up a med kit, and ran back to the barn...

Repeat this a few times, and you get a Mass Zoey Grave...

Monday, February 23, 2009 Bots = Lemmings...

Map: Dead Air Greenhouse...
Campaign...



I was doing a run through of Dead Air on Expert with bots for some practice, when I was grabbed by a smoker and pulled off the edge of the building...

Bill and Francis decided that it would be a great idea to follow me over the edge instead of rescue me...

Rage Winners...

4v4 Versus...

Firstly, I would like to apologise to the other team from this match...
I was on a team with 3 friends, and we were against public randoms...
We were survivors first, and managed a very nice score for the first round...
We then proceeded to do fairly well as infected against them on their way down the building...
As they entered the alleyway, we were invited to a friends only match...
We were torn between our current game, and the new one, so in the end, we decided to play out this round, then join the other one...

So, we managed to incap them all as they jumped out of the window behind the van, all typed "RAGE!!!" into global chat, and left...

We found it hilarious, but felt bad for the others at the same time...

Friday, February 13, 2009 Griefing vs Shit talking...

Map: No Mercy
4v4 Versus...

I was on a team with some friends, and we were against 2 clanners, and 2 other randoms...
We beat them soundly in BH, and noticed that the clanners only look after themselves...
We were doing it again in NM, beginning with a team down on the roof in NM1...
When we got to NM 3, it was real early in the morning, we were still kicking ass, and just playing silly buggers...
We decided to all stand next to a petrol pump and throw our molotov and pipe bombs at the ground...
Our death was spectacular... Except for BloodyRevy, who somehow was only incapped down to 150hp...

We killed them all before they got to the safehouse, so we were still in the lead...
NM4, we got to the elevator with ease, and survived the event...
We decided, as we were still insane from sugar/lack of sleep/whatever to kill ourselves in the elevator...
We noticed then that 2 of our opponents had quit...
So we did it anyway...
Again, Revy survived, and tried to go jump off the edge of the building...
But no, he was thwarted by a smoker...
Damn that was a good laugh... I will claim this as victory...

Tuesday, February 10, 2009 Out-Stumble a Tank...!

Map: Blood Harvest Bridge...
4v4 Versus...

We were going pretty well through the map, not much in the way of hordes, and boomers just failed against us...
When arriving at the train tracks, we heard the witch sobbing, and my team mates jumped over and ran towards the train...
I got hit by a zombie and lost all speed, so I was a bit stuck, fending off zombies on both sides...
I eventually fell over the side and ran to my team mates...
Little did I know the witch was right next to where I fell, and I fired a few shots at zombies while running, and I startled her...
She incapped me, and I was saved by my team...
We kept going, without stopping to heal...
We got to the house near the final stretch, and heard the Tank music start up...
I took my pills, and was all set to go through the house...
But all my team mates went down and around the house, a way I had never seen before...
We all made it around to the other side and started across the bridge...
I was hurting pretty bad, and the tank was behind us somewhere...
My team mates, all running faster than me, were shooting down all the zombies on the way, and one was firing back up the bridge... I turned and saw the tank there and thought "Im fucked..."
It was an intense 50m stumble, thinking that I was gonna get hit by the tank at any second... I finally made it to the saferoom, turned around and saw my mate, who was right behind me the whole way, get smacked by the tank...
He managed to get up and into the saferoom somehow, and we closed the door damn fast...
It was probably the most intense marathon stumble Ive had in the game so far...

Thursday, February 5, 2009 Drop Tank...

Map: No Mercy 1 Apartments...
4v4 Versus...



I got to play as a tank, and spawned out in the street...
I still had some time, so I decided to play Drop Tank...
What is a Drop Tank...? Exactly what it sounds...
Climb a building, and drop on top of the survivors...
Two of them had gone past the last car in the alley way, so I hit that one and incapped Zoey... I hit Louis twice, getting him red...
Then I turned and went after the other two, and hit one of the other cars at them...
Got another one...
I went back for Louis, and hit the car into him again... It stopped on top of him...
I made another run up the side of the building, and saw that our smoker had grabbed the last guy...
Being the nice Tank I am, I left them alone...
I dropped down next to a car instead, and tried to hit it at him...
I was a bit too slow though, and our smoker incapped him...

All in all, it was fun...
I never saw the tank when I played survivor... I got smokered out the end of the alley, and surrounded by zombies...
I was bringing up the rear, and my team legged it to the end to get 2 safe...

Tree hunter...

Map: Blood Harvest 3...
4v4 Versus...

I managed to get stuck in a tree as a hunter...
I could crouch, and look around but that was it...

The smoker stood under me hitting me, until the survivors came out...
They didnt seem to see me at all after the smoker pulled Zoey to us...
She got free, boomed, and then ran under me...
I then somehow pounced her...
It was as if I was in mid pounce the whole time....

Sunday, February 1, 2009 Biggest Bug I Ever Did See...!

Map: Blood Harvest Finale...
4v4 Versus...



We had a marvelous come-back, from way behind with 2 rounds to go, to barely in front at the end of the finale...
We slaughtered them early in the last two rounds, and almost made it to the APC to escape...

After the usual 'gg' from everyone, and people leaving, I was the only one left on the server...
I had just finished playing as a survivor, and thought it strange that I respawned as a smoker...
Then the scores disappeared, and I was Louis again, healthy and well in the starting safe room...
I could hear the APC idling, and a tank somewhere too... My bots had already made a run for it, so I followed... The tank got to us at the top of the train... We killed it, and found another waiting in the corn field...
This one killed us, and again I respawned as a smoker...
The scores were added on again, and I respawned as Louis... Again...
So I went running after the bots, and this time found 2 tanks waiting at the train for us... I killed one, and was hammered by the other while the bots helped each other up, with the tank killing me in plain sight...

I quit this endless loop at this point...
