Quote Versus Mode Changes * Tank melee attack can now hit multiple Survivors in one swing * Fixed Tank punch being able to hit targets behind walls * Fixes to 'Tank parking'. The Tank will now run back and attack the Survivors if he becomes AI due to two players expiring the frustration meter * Fixed a case where a Tank frustration meter could run out right as he was in his death animation and he would come back to life * Fixed a case where the Tank was moving too slowly while crouching and being shot * Tanks now have the possibility of spawning in a slightly different position for the first and second teams * The order that the teams play as Survivors is now determined by which team has the higher overall score. The winning team will play as Survivors first * The Smoker tongue can now target and grab victims through common infected * Increased the cone in which a Smoker can grab a target * The Witch no longer cuts Smoker tongues in a radius around her * Boomers that explode in mid-air will now hit Survivors directly below them with Bile * Reduced the damage that burning Hunters do to pounced victims * Adjusted the time at which players take over from bots to avoid 5 seconds of the bot standing idle while the player finishes connecting. * Fixed some cases where versus score was not being recalculated properly. It is no longer beneficial to pass pills between players at the end of the round or heal other players and then shoot them * Fixed a case where it was possible to spectate an AI infected and hit +use to take them over Server Changes * Added convar sv_gametype that allows server operators to limit the types of games that will start on their server. Default value is 'coop,versus'. Can be changed to just 'coop' or just 'versus' to limit to those game types General changes * Fixed a case where players would join as a dead Survivor when a living Survivor was still available * Fixed a case where restarting a level due to the team dying would give more than the max primary ammo on restart * Fixed the speaking icon showing up on the local player during level transition if voice_vox was set to 1 * The scoreboard now shows the numeric value of a player's ping GameUI * Quick match will now try to match to any campaign. Removed the preference to match to games according to the player progressing through all campaigns * Games in a finale are now joinable via the Friends and Steam Group games list Finally, they decide to show us our actual ping instead of those shitty bars... |

Awesome, smoker gets to be more useful, no more parking, more randomness to tanks and not giving one team the advantage of knowing where the tank/witch are. This is a great start before the DLC comes out. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the boomer exploding in air thing. |

I only did it once, but to my defense it was really funny. |

The Tank will now run back and attack the Survivors if he becomes AI due to two players expiring the frustration meter Some of you have been using that one I was an avid user - yes. There were distinct points that were unique to it's use. 1. Spooning insisting you could hide it in the lift core - the fucking thing died and we lost our round horribly 2. Parking the tank in the vent above the lift. How sweet that would have been - it fucking died. 3. Parking the tank in the field of BH behind the tractor. A dull boom in the distance - the wanker had died again 4. Parking the tank in the finale - only to see the idiot come running out into fire and the chaingun - prick 5. Parking the tank next to the lift in NM - WIN - \O/ 6. Parking the tank next to the witch in the little room near the edge of the top of the building next to a witch - WIN \O/ 7. Parking the tank in the safe room in BH3 - WIN (sometimes) \O/ Oh well - the hunter is the new favourite to hide now. Twice, TWICE Tom has been hiding in the safe room. You shut the door and can't work out why the round won't end. Edited by NaughtyMe on 12-03-2009 19:07 |

That wasn't me, I think it was captain obvious. Also near the safe room in NM sewers is a win spot. |

"Spooning you fucking idiot, you killed our tank!" There was also the time where, on the top of the hospital, just before the group popped their head up the ladder I accidentally pressed my Hunter slash button and through him off the building. |

Another update released today: Updates to Left 4 Dead have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include: Game and client changes Introduced fatigue to the melee attack in versus mode. You will see a HUD display when your melee swing is cooling down Boomer vomit will now pass through common infected Addressed some surround sound detection issues Fixed a rare crash when exiting Left4Dead on Windows Vista Fixed a case where the complete all expert campaigns achievement was not being rewarded Dedicated server changes Corrected an issue where Windows based dedicated were sending spurious shutdown notifications to the master causing them to delist temporarily Fixed dedicated servers not resetting the versus team swap correctly--you could join a dedicated server that had a previous game that was swapped and arrive on the other team than what was selected in the lobby Renamed the tags for sv_search_key to use "key:" in the server tags instead of "sv_search_key." This should help with issues of the 63 character limit of server tags Fixed an occasional server crash related to voting |
