Funniest Left 4 Dead moments.

[Jamanticus]

Advanced difficulty, pistol only run. Zombie swarm comes, I start laughing insanely over the talk channel and yelling "The Cake is a Lie, the Cake is a lie!" while firing rapidly into a crowd.

Yes.

Also, the 'Oh, shit' moment when that Tank came around..... Pistols aren't really that good at taking down Tanks....



I always cringe when I hear that eerie music that a Witch is around....Frightening thing.

I never knew until one fateful playthrough that staring at a Witch for too long will cause her to claw your goolies off...

 

[ProfessorLayton]

There was one time when I got separated from my teammates. I think a couple of them died or something, but anyways the important thing is that my friends were well behind me. I started walking forward when a smoker grabbed me and pulled me into a boomer who subsequently exploded and caused the horde to run after me. I was dead.

 

[OverlordSteve]

Also I just realized that we've already met the villain of Left 4 Dead, the AI Director. Damn him and his Zombie-spawning, level-rearranging shenanigans.

 

[ElArabDeMagnifico]

Alright so there is this weird glitch (Richard Groovy Pants, The_Root_Of_All_Evil were playing too, and were equally stumped]

...everyone always forgets about me.

Actually I remembered you, I just didn't know you had an escapist account!

...and yes, I am the AI director everyone hates so much.

For me it was at the beginning of the Apt. level and we were seeing if we could just jump down and avoid the whole zombie mess... turns out you can get down without dying but its tricky. any who one of the guys makes the jump just fine I try and fail stuck hanging. A teammate trys to get me up but gets mobbed because apparently if you take to long the zombies come find you. any way one guy is down on the street unable to get back up to us and the other two are down on the ground after being knocked down by the mob and i'm hanging a couple stroies above the ground. hilarious if a little stupid on our part.

Someone sets off that bloody car alarm. I'm on about 2 health. So, being the brave young man I am I courageously lock myself in a closet. Those suckers on the street shoot frantically as I breathe a sigh of relief.

Until I realised there was a zombie in the closet with me.

She gouged my eyes. She gouged my eyes reeeal goooood.

I remember when we got hit by a tank and witch at the same time. Intense

Advanced difficulty, pistol only run. Zombie swarm comes, I start laughing insanely over the talk channel and yelling "The Cake is a Lie, the Cake is a lie!" while firing rapidly into a crowd.

Tip for that : bind fire key to scroll wheel and go crazy with double pistols


and i only have one thing to say.... ZOEY'S MINE AND YOU CAN HAVE HER

 

[Porlarta]

Okay so im playing wth some friends on advanced just for the hell of it, and Bill goes over and sees the the witch. We all turn off our lights and Francis has the hunting rifle so he looks at the witch and says"IOh no dont cry. Its okay. do you wanna chocolate bar? Did your boy freind dump you. it it just your time of the mon-" right then the witch rushed and killed him. I through a molotov and then the witch carged me and my idiot friens walked into the fire and died.

 

[I Stomp on Kittens]

I betrayed my team and left the safe room and ran back in when like 50 zombies were on my tail and I closed the door and all the zombies arms were reaching through the door and just the picture made me laugh uncontrolably and the door wouldnt even open because of them and so I got the honor of blowing there heads off

 

[fix-the-spade]

My teammates don't stand very close to me anymore.

I would, as long as you're nearby I'm perfectly safe!

 

[Ubiquitous au Deux]

I shoulda just titled my thread this.

For one thing? My friend has HL: DJ or something else that lets him play songs on Steam. Or maybe just a mic. But the screaming sound-bytes and the exquisitely timed 'Dear Sister' segments...that's just good gameplay.

1. The second level, we got three hordes. The first was the big batch of zombies off the get-go, then the second surprise-horde. Then downstairs, we got Boomer'd, which is where it all went to shit. Brothers and my friend, so the Brother's are with each other. They go down swinging, but they're getting gangraped by the zombies. Buddy gets mobbed (I haven't been touched yet), and I try and throw a pipe bomb. But it bounced off a zombie and landed on his chest. 'Mmmwatcha say' and I just kinda laugh. And then a Smoker gets me. But, this was a Tongue Snipe. He got me FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE LEVEL on an angle so improbable I question God's intent for me. So I get dragged back, helpless. But wait, no, I'm caught. The jagged concrete has made for a small inset that can allow a tongue, but not me. So I'm hanging now. And now, the horde only has dead people to play with, but now I'M JUST HANGING THERE.

Grabbing hands. So many grabbing hands.

2. Blasting the car alarm in Level 1 and then shooting the survivors of my fuckery in front of the safe room. Then going and using all the health kits so I have 99 health. Hilarity.

Well, first of all, I consider myself a very above average FPS player, and most of my friends are as well. Anyway, we've been playing the full game on expert, and I'm happy to say that we have been getting ROCKED! I woke up around 3 in the afternoon (no class today since chem lab caught fire) and picked up the game. I came home, popped it in, and two of my friends from my hometown were playing. I come in, and they're like "all right, now we can do this". We've been playing for 5 hours now, and we just beat the first chapter after the demo on expert (a 20 min. run through on normal). I've never had so much fun getting completely stomped with my friends!

Anyway, so I'd have to say my favorite moment is on section 1-3 (the only one I've actually beaten in the six hours of playing),

Spoiler: Kind of unnecessary, but better safe than mod'd

We are fighting a tank, and the last two of us alive (me with an assault rifle, my mate with his auto shotty) accidentally fall into a manhole into a sewer. The flaming tank follows after us, and my mate is completely destroyed. I'm screaming into my headset "oh shit! Oh god, we were doing so good" and madly pressing my right trigger...when he dies a hair away from me. I was already only alive because of pain pills, so my health was one. I have no ammo in my assault rifle. We had only gotten to the sewer a few times, and only one of my friends knew the right way to go. I pick up my friends auto shotty, and find a little cranny in the wall that I'm crawling through. Anyway, long story short, this crevice happened to be loaded with hunters, smokers, boomers, and 20-30 normal hordes. Auto shotty is amazing though, so slowly but surely I made my way to a closet where two of my friends were dancing to their ipods (surely you guys noticed the similarity between trapped survivors and those weird ipod commercial people!). I make a break for the door, and as I'm pressing x, a smoker grabs me and kills me instantly. Five minutes on adrenaline rush crawling through a tunnel doing absolutely amazing, and we don't even win.

We all just laughed for several minutes though, because this game is Just. That. Good. The director is a dick. And it's amazing /end fanboyism.

I just recently ought the full game and decided I wad going to play versus mode. What could be more fun than being a better zombie than the AI? So to my luck I get a boomer. I saw one of my partners jump off the roof to get a better starting point to attak the survivors and though that it might be in my best intrest to do the same. Only I forgot that boomers pop when they jump from too high. Luckily my sacrifise was not in vain since I was than a tank. After hitting a few survivors I got into the moment and shouted SHoruken as I hit one of the last two alive, leaving my team mates laughing and forgetting that they were supposed to be killing the last two with me.

 

[TsunamiWombat]

Ahh Boomers. Fun tactic, jump from on high and land in the middle of people. You pop but you spray EVARY ONE.

Actually I love being the boomer really, only zombie that can kill others without directly exposing himself to danger.

 

[The Wooster]

Dead Air on expert. We're on our second tank encounter in the parking garage (level 3 I think) and three of our team (including myself) have just been KO'ed by the burly bastard. We tell Kapitol, our last remaining survivor to run for the safe room. He passes the witch on the skybridge but gets away just before she freaks out, the tank is hot on his heels. He reaches the safe room, turns around and locks the door just as the tank barrels through the skyrbidge. Then he gets killed by the Boomer and Hunter that were 'in' the god damn safe room. Brutal.

Oh and on dead air level 2. We're clearing the building and I check the bathroom then tell everyone else it's now our horde defense room. About a 50 seconds later the scary music chimes in and everyone barrels into to the bathroom and covers the door. At which point a horde, literally an entire fucking horde comes sprinting out of one of the bathroom stalls. It was like a fucking clown car.

 

[GoblinOnFire]

Pardon me for being stupid. But is the Tank on a timer? (Who said that?) He dies after a set amount of seconds? Then why the hell am I wasting bullets on his bulky ass?

 

[Danny Ocean]

I only played for half an hour and I'm waiting for the full game to Download, so can someone tell me about the witch?

I think I was playing with Groovy Pants and Pheonix the other day when we heard the crying.
"Lights off!"
"How do I turn the light off?"
"Press F Damnit!"
