Inside the house on Blood Harvest
Boomber biled, grabbed by a smoker and then the horde attacked
Rest of my team were miles off

P.S.
Has anyone else had team mates who not help on purpose and then complain when you dont help?

I have two quick ones, one not exactly a horror story for me. One time a friend and I were playing VS mode. It was his turn on the roof of Mercy Hospital. Before he and the NPCs got to the roof I constricted Zoey and killed her. Nobody even tried to help her. It was kinda funny. After the fact, when the first tank (me) appeared on the roof, I chased down and knocked down Francis and Louis, who were both NPCs. He couldn't stop to help them or else I would have destroyed him! So they both eventually bled out while I was chasing him across the roof. It lasted about five minutes, but I eventually got the drop on him. He tried to jump out of the way, and I hit him, and threw him off the freakin' roof! I was so proud...


Next was my turn, and I was doing great. The helicopter landed, and just as I was about to get on it, my friend IMed me, closing the game window! So I just say "WORST POSSIBLE TIME", open the window again, and somehow I'm still alive, but there are normals clawing at my faces. I hit them out of the way, fire some shots, kill a bunch, and as I get to the helicopter there is my friend the tank. So I try as hard as I can to get on it, and either I did last second, or I died and the NPCs left me there, cause it said they escaped.

Again, they aren't really good horror stories, but I thought the mix of the violent rush and comedy would entertain some people on here.

Why do so many of these stories happen in the No Mercy campaign?
... You know... I have no idea. It's the one I've played the most, is it just like the best one? I just got it the other day, so I've only played the first two movie things. I didn't enjoy the second one's finally nearly as much.

A friend of mine said he had blown the head off a normal zombie that was running toward him, yet it continued running until it hit a wall and then began slowly rising off the ground. If I remember correctly, it got some three feet off the ground before collapsing.

Mine is quite simple:
I was running to the safe room in the 3rd section of dead air. I heard the tank coming but wasn't sure where. I found out where the tank was when it decided to throw 3 cars at me and slam me against a wall, killing me instantly.

fun times :D

my buddies and I were playing No Mercy on Expert (no suprise there) and we were actually doing really good. Well we got pounced by several hunters and some smokers but managed to take them out easily, but what was weird was that we havent encountered alot of hordes. so I walk up to a staircase and at the bottom of the staircase was a witch, right in our path, all of a sudden a boomer walked right next to the witch and just exploded! no bullets no nothing it just went Ka Boom right next to the witch causing her to attack all of us, we didnt win that round. Also has anyone ever walked into an area with a witch, only to see her being kicked by a bunch of zombies?

Journal Entry 57,
Day 56 after first infection.
We found a CD player today. I decided to listen to a few of the songs on the burned disk, but before I could turn it on Bill told me not to as it would attract more zombies. That's just complete bullshit with them being fast and able to track us down. Well anyway we're stuck on this rooftop with our rations dwindling. I'll write more if I'm not dead.

Journal Entry 58,
Day 57 after first infection.
Oh what luck we had today! A helicopter passed by our rooftop stating that we should head to Mercy Hospital. Bill seems to know this place well considering that we're resting before we go out into the subway. Apparently the tank that we faced earlier died from its fall. That's odd though...they usually live from anything short of a rocket launcher. Along the way Louis get knocked onto a car when it just went off. Before I knew it we were surrounded by them, while Louis was shouting for us to help him. At first I didn't know what it was but then I realized he'd been grabbed by a hunter. I let loose a full burst from my Uzi and ran over to help him. Well at least we're on our way to being rescued.

Journal Entry 59,
Day 58 after first infection.
Apparently tanks can live from such a fall. We were just heading out and walked down the stairs when we met up with him. We almost lost Francis... he was bleeding all over the place when the tank finally succumbed to the amount of led we pumped in him. After that we head up into the subway. You can't imagine what it smelt like. It stunk of rotting flesh, vomit, and god knows what else. Along the way we found some military grade weapons. Who just leaves that kind of stuff lying around anyway? I mean you have a fully functional M16 and you just leave it? Bill wasn't one to question such luck and grab the weapon he had gotten so familiar with in Vietnam. So now we have a few automatic shotguns, assault rifle, and a hunting rifle of some sort. At least its got a sweet scope.


To Be Continued...

[My left 4 dead story]




The group had been through alot. .

We managed to make it back to the safehouse. Moral was low, we knew we couldn't go on this way, but we had to survive.

Bill sparked up a cigarette, I told him he already had one lit in his mouth. He concured and sat on the floor, assembling his rifle and rambling on to himself about the price of oranges.

He's getting old and crazy as the days number.

Francis approached me, asking if I had any weed. I told him no, he left.

The loud creek of the safehouse door echoed throughout the crowded undead hallways that awaited us.

I pleaded with Francis to return inside, secure the door and eat some heal. He refused.

Lewis said I should just let him go, that he was crazy, if he wants to get killed over Mary Jane then let him.

Zoey sat up and with a confussed expression asked Lewis who Mary Jane was.

I, having smoked weed and being "hip-diggidy" with lingo, knew he meant marijuana.

Lewis tried to explain to Zoey, what I already knew.

Zoey went hardcore women crazy all over Lewis, assuming he was talking of another women.

You see, Zoey and Lewis had developed a relationship a day or two ago. . and by relationship, I mean Zoey bent over the guns and ammo table getting a "tank"full of Lewis' "pipebomb".

She continued to scream and freakout. Her yelling and screaming was worse than the sound of an eggbeater left carelessly turned on in a bowl un-attended whilst Fran Drescher stood next to it and imitated that noise.

Lewis was backed up against the wall with an "I'ma hit this ***** soon" expression.. until all came to a stop as we could hear the crying and wailing of a man in pain.

I immediately ran from Zoey and Lewis over to the safehouse door, adjusting my chin through the bars left and right to get a clear view down the hallways in search of any sight of Francis.

Turns out it wasn't Francis.

Bill was just crying and wailing about the oranges again.

I turned from Bill to Zoey and Lewis, intending to calm them down and suggest we make tracks to catch up to Francis.

Zoey was bloody and bruised. Lewis had beaten her when my back was turned. When I asked Lewis' reason for assaulting her he replied "She be trippin".

I handed Zoey a Medical Kit.

I realized we had few Med kits left. Francis left with his, Lewis used one for Toilet paper and I gave mine to Zoey.

That left only one. In Bills possession.

I asked Bill if he has his Med kit still handy with him. He explained that he had impulsively used it earlier because he liked the sound that it made when he unwrapped it.

We were pretty f***'d.

There was a loud thud at the door. I grabbed my shotgun and aimed through the bars.

My vision down the hallways was limited. A dark figure was looming in the distance. It's shadow was slowly growing larger on the wall's across from me as it was edging closer.

I waited to take my shot till it was in clear sight.

The dark figure now becoming visible was dragging it's feet and swaying it's arms as it narrowed toward me.

It was Francis. He was successful in his marijuana hunt and was highly baked.

I lowered my gun and told him he was insane, to hurry inside and questioned as to how the f*** he aquired weed in the midst of the apocolypse.

Lewis joined in with a "You crazy, white boy". .

I opened the safehouse door, preparing to ask Francis what the situation was out there.

Two undead zombies were standing behind him. Francis had told them where they could score some food.

Francis whilst high, idiotic and stupid lured these two undead f***'s back to us. The only explaination I could think of as to why they had not torn him to shred's already was that in Francis' stonned state, walked and acted just like them.

Francis may have had the munchies but quickly became food to the two zombies behind him.

We were all in panic. Knowing we had no heal we attempted to shut the door to postpone and prevent our cluster f*** death's that surely awaited us.

Francis was already dead by the time three more zombies blasted through the door. I fired my clip at the dozen that followed behind. Lewis got pwned, he was still in the corner taking a crap as the three zombies rushed him. Zoey dived across to Lewis, attempting to save her beloved, only to land face first in Lewis' feceas. They were both in a sticky situation.

That left me with Bill. Who was still on the floor, more crazy than ever, this time claiming there was a large text above his head bearing his name.

It was up to me. Large flashes of red covered my sight as the horde slashed and bit.

I dropped to the floor. Bill was only a few feet away, within arm reach, standing there looking at the ceiling.

I neeeded for Bill to save me, I could reach his shoe laces, I poked and proded at him, twisting my fingers through his laces pleading for him to acknowledge me.

He just stood there with that ass-backward expression and the same cigarette in his mouth from four days ago. I began to realize he was retarded. I was done for.

Suddenly Bill snapped, completely freaked out at the name above his head and attempted to destroy it. He grabbed a pipe bomb from the table and threw it above his head, it bounced from the ceiling to the table and out the door, grabbing the horde's attention.

Bill had unintentionaly saved me. Unfortunately, Bill being Bill, chased after the pipe bomb also.

A loud explosion gave way, spewing limb's and blood throughout the hallway.

I had survived. I was still down, unable to heal and badly wounded inside the safehouse on the floor.

After the shellshock and screaching noise from the pipe bomb left my ears I began to hear the faint crie's of what sounded like an upset child.

I grabbed the legs of the table infront of me, inching my way closer to the door to get a look outside. Dragging myself closer and closer.

I poked my head out of the door, lying next to dead bodies. The noise was louder. The hallways were dark, I couldn't see a thing.

The crying became more consistant.

Bill's body was near me, I reached to his pant leg and took his flashlight. Aiming it down the hallway I turned it on, yelling for help and that I wasn't infected.. asking the disstressed child if he/she were okay.

The crying immediately stopped.

In the distance, a shadowed figure was hunched over. It slowly began to rise, titling it's head in my direction. This was no innocent, scared child.

This f***'d up thing ran like a women at a shoe sale toward me, intending on one thing.. my destruction. If she was anything like this girl I had sex with once, she too, didn't like it when the lights were on..

*SLASH!* *SCRATCH* *CLAW* *DEAD*

Blood Harvest
Versus
First map.

I was a Smoker.

The people we were playing were not very interested in being human.
Not interested at all.

One even jumped off the bridge.
I got him, though.

See, what happened was this. He was playing francis and ran and jumped off the edge, me, as a smoker having quick instincts yelled "OH NO YOU DIDN'T" and CAUGHT HIM IN MID AIR with my tongue.

Guess who got the points for killing a survivor?

One time, I was trying to sneak past a witch, and one of my AI teammates decided it would be nice to throw a pipe bomb at that exact moment. Needless to say, she freaked the shit out. Came running after me but 10 quick shots from my Auto-Shotgun brought her down (the pipe bomb did the most damage)

Fun times.
Do AI use pipes and moltovs?

This game is just laced with too many to list. But i guess personal favorite, playing on No Mercy, ACT 1, on VS mode. IT had been a REALLY close game. My team had managed to kill the tank after it spawned near the alley way leading out to the road, but not before it inst car in-capped two of us. We are nearing the red car, and me and my mates use our code for when we think its safe to make a mad dash "Run like hell." So we start sprinting to the safe house. A smoker pulls some one right ONTO the car (which I think sets of the alarm, and if it doesn't to this day my friend still insists that's what set it off.)

With a swarm hoarding in around us, my two remaining mates make a dash for the exit while i free the third mate from the smoker, we make a heroic run for the safe house only to find our exit barred by fire, and us two weak to brave it while my other two mates sheltered in the safe house leaving us to die. Me and my mate brace up side by side and start the melee/gun combo, valiantly fighting off the hoard. It was so adrenalin filled, because i knew if we fought it off we were gonna shot gun ours mates in the face for leaving us behind like that. End result.. two well shotgunned friends :)

I was part of a 4v4 and the zombie side were sat in the same room so they all got hunters and pinned us all down.But unlucky for them so were the team i was on (includeing me) and we did the same to them.

But just the fact of they jumped all of us at the same time made all of us jump off our seats.

I didn't think it was possible to have more than two hunters, in order to prevent exactly that sort of thing from happening.

It shouldn't be, but the spawn system can be manipulated.

Have a couple of them, if you don't mind people posting more than one story.




Was playing on verus server with a few friends of mine,
We had filled amost al lthe slots for both suvivor and zombies.
I was a suvivor. with two of my fearless comrads by mine side,
and some random person.

Now, me and the two friends kind of have a flow in this game as
suvivors. We knew each others habits, and how to compensate for
the others usual mistakes. We usually keep a decent pace,
but don't rush. Two easy for someone to get seperated ahead of the group,
while common infected slow us down, or even a smoker attack may prevent the rest
from keeping up. The new person hower, just could stop rushing.


After an abysmal, by the skin of our teeth run, and our time as the infected
had passed and it was once agian our turn to run the guantlet.
We quickly grabed our med packs, wepon of choice and ammo. AS my
friends Sagas and milli go to clear the path shooting through the bars, the
other person..well call him speedy I guese, I don't remeber the screen name,
Pops open the door and jumps down instead of giving us time to make some space.

However he was quickly returned to us Via a smokers tounge.
Being the ever polite suvivors that we were, we thanked the coughing
with a lead flavored lozenge, and moved through the rest of the swarming masse to the
first set up steps.

After narrowly avoiding several easly avoided if we didn't have to
try and cover speedy as he carelessly rushed his way through the metro tunnle
As we neared the door to the generator (door that leads to the area before the panic event)
he quickly dispeared through, forgetting to warn us that the witch we had be hearing was
just slightly inside the door way. So we, ourshelves rushed to the table of
shiny new firearms and the promise of our empty clips filled. Only to
have our daydream that was a moments peace, suddenly shattered.

Suddenly a message pops up informing us that Milli had Triggered the witch, but it lounged
instead at me. I go down , and was quickly joined on the ground by the
witches corpse. Saga's had grabed an auto shotty and blown her head off before
she could finish me off.

Soon blazing around the chat window was speedy's cry for help,
He had been dragged to the steps leading directly to the generator room
by a smoker which he managed to fend off, but was pounced by a hunter as we arrived to
at the top of the stairs opposite of him. Milli ruched over and shoved the hunter off.
As he was counter pouncing I managed to nail him with covering fire from the automatic rifle
I picked up before rushing in to save speedy.

We helped speed up to his feet, but before we could parch him up he ruched into the wide open room only to be pinned by another hunter. This time, however, we didn't answer his crys for help. We walked over to the button that opens the metal door, and pressed it.
As the horde of infected climbed gleefull through the windows
he looked over to us as he cried "Why the f*** aren't you doing anything?!,
Aren't you going to help me?!"

Sagas simply said " No. Because you won't learn Anything if we do"

After the tragic death of speedy, getting to the safe room was a breeze,
There was a minor scare when a boomer throwing itself off a roof at us,
but it landed a few feet to short to cause us anything other than a small amount of heart trouble. And When it was our turn to play suvivors agian, Speedy was unanimous voted off
the server when he showed refusal to change his habits. He was dearly missed by the infected.

Theres my story, hope you all managed to get through it without falling asleep.
I apologise for any typos, I is sleepeh.

It's something a Server Admin can set using the console.
you can chance the max number of infected, yes the normal limit for hunters is two
at a time, Infected spawn times, tank strength, etc.

I remember playing as a boomer in versus mode.

It was a dark and stormy night, on blood harvest. The survivors were all on green, except one who was on yellow...
The other three raced ahead to get into the train car safe house, while I stalked across the bridge above them. As the last survivor hurriedly limped his way down the tracks, I pounced. My bile plastered the area, and he was soaked.

Now, luckily for me, the final hoard spawn point is actually above the safe house. So this final, damned survivor had to go through two hoards to get to safety.

Needless to say, he was Left 4 Dead.
