Left 4 Dead

[thebearofscience]

they were only half npc's for like half of the first level!

[Isawa]

Bullshit, I remember NPC Zoey blowing my head off when I was hidden on top of a cliff watching to jump in the 3rd level. We need to play again, No Mercy or bust!

[thebearofscience]

oh. thats when they left because we were raping so hard.

[Akucaen]

So. What happens when you have people who don't rage quit after being really outclassed?

This has nothing to do with versus, but does anyone have any tips for getting Jump Shot achievement? I've tried and tried and tried or this fucking thing and nothing will work. I know for a fact I've shot him in the face with the shotgun mid blast because he fell in between two buildings when I did. Is there a certain gun that makes it easier than the shotgun?

[Akucaen]

It was like... a rape fest. They couldn't coordinate out the door AT ALL. They barely got 20% through the level before a full incap; then they managed to kill only one of us the entire campaign.

Need the shotgun to do it and close range pretty much, it's all luck. I got it by accident to be honest.

I got it for 360 to play with some friends, Sonomaa on live, let me come hang out and fite evil

[Pyro]

I need to just play with some BG people. The team I usually play with hasn't been around to play in like a month. I'm having withdrawals.

Yeah the Smoker is incredible, but the only way I've found to utilize it is to know your terrain like the back of your hand. There are plenty of hide spots that you can really fuck people up with. No Mercy Act3 is usually one that I can stall people for several minutes if they get stupid about it. Just keep dragging their ass off the building/out of the room, hide and/or respawn, repeat. I stalled one group for over 10 minutes there because I would just hide after I drug one out and they wouldn't come after me. Once they left for the lift, I'd either drag them off the building and kill them, or grab another out of the room.

Dragging people off the very top of the hospital in Act4 is a blast too. If you get a real dumb group you drag a person or two to the edge, when someone goes over to save them, sacrifice your Boomer and blow the other 2 or 3 off the ledge by proximity > profit.

Act 5 No Mercy. When you climb up the ladder onto the rooftops, there's a particular spot someone pointed out to me that if you sit there and grab people as their coming up, you can drag them off and kill them immediately from fall damage.

I've nailed 3/4 people solo in one round this way (4th was smart enough to run for the Helipad). Works best when they don't expect it. Seen a lot of whining about it, but if people go up expecting a Smoker to be there it can usually be handled pretty quickly without a fuss.

Are you talking about that spot next to the Satellite Dish?

Yup.

I actually got Jump Shot using the Hunting Rifle. I was zoomed in looking for something else, when a Hunter randomly jumped right in front of me while zoomed in. I quickly shot him dead and got Jump Shot. It was partly good timing, and mostly luck. But that's how I got it.

[thebearofscience]

yeah. i fucking hate the satellite dish.
sometimes people have a boomer to block the smoker so you can pull the person longer.

edit: playing today woop.

[Ivaden]

It's sort of easy to avoid getting snagged by the Smoker if he's near that satellite. Throw a molotov up there, wait a few seconds for the fire to die down enough, peek your head up. Sometimes the Smoker will anticipate wrongly and try to grab you before you're out, which gives you enough time to get up there and kill him quick enough before the recharge.

Also, the Smoker can stand on that platform near the "Jesus Room" or whatever. If you're looking at the satellite from the roof, it's to the right, but the same building and lower that you can't see the Smoker if you just peek your head up. Can do the same thing as if he near the satellite, so if you guys haven't experienced that already, be aware.

[The Blackrose]

The game doesn't have that strict of a collision detection either, so you should be able to 2-man rush the Smoker. Have the first act as bait, the second immediately frees the first to force Smoker cooldown and then both peg the Smoker.

You need to be right up each others' asses going up.

[Lebzile]

Every time I've done the roof finale we always just spawn the boomer early so he respawns as a hunter and like 60% of the time we always kill them as soon as they start heading up and off the ladder.

[Quixotic]

Pretty sure the satellite insta-kill smoker pull only works on xbox360? I've pulled people and been pulled before and while it does take off a lot of life, its never lead to immediate death.
