I can't wait to have a crack at Survivor Mode when I get home tonight :)

 
Definately one to play with humes rather than bots. They are just too stupid. Also good-voice comms and tight team-work required to survive, no dashing off to get stuff on your own. That is a recipe for disaster and team death as they try to rescue you.
 
I think start off in one section for a couple of rushes, clearing it out of goodies, and then moving on to the next one for a couple of rushes etc. Systematic use of resources.
 
Tanks come early and often so keep some pipe-bombs handy to keep the normal infected out of the way while you deal with the Tank.
I do exactly what the little voices tell me to.

PC Specs:- Black box with some fans that go whirrr, a few lights, things inside that get warm, headphones, keyboard (a clicky one), mouse (with buttons and no squeak), disks (2-off SSD and HDD) and a monitor of sufficient proportions.

So what server will be in operation for the survival mode?

Survival mode is only a 4-player game.
I am not 100% sure but I suspect it will be the co-op server. The appropriate maps could be loaded as and when required.
The official decision will follow shortly

Survival mode is completely awesome.

We managed to pick up a couple of gold medals on the co-op server tonight, no mean feat!

I'm a little dissapointed in the new maps, I forget the name of it but you start in the church - when you get down into the streets you'd think with all those buildings around it'd be ideal for hunters, but half the buildings are missing - they've not bothered with the roofs so you can't really use the buildings at all, a bit shoddy I think valve.

I should probably also mention that the L4D server felt ultra-laggy last night.

Is this a known issue, or has the survivor pack upped the demand a bit?

That was probably when you were injured? For the L4D servers maybe we should be -=[dML]=- (Dead Men Limping)?

Seriously, played a few maps last night, didn't have any lag.

OldBloke had some lagproblems.
Maybe provider related?

There was a few pretty laggy moments in there, but most the time it was fine.

You had a ping of 5 the rest of us were on 305 and  were moaning.

And yes Jewelz we did get a fair number of Golds and silvers. I think we made a pretty good team, with some original tactics (some plain crazy), and some good team work. There was no hogging the health packs or nades when we were on our good runs.

P.S: I don't think stacking all the petrol near us ready to throw down when there's a hoarde was one of our best ones.
Juggling Hard Disks over concrete floors ends in tears 5% of the time.

'Balcony Inferno' will go down as probably our least successful tactic :roflmao:
