Getting tired of Left 4 Dead.

Posted by mrty - July 7th, 2009


Most of you are probably familiar with online play in Left 4 Dead. It's so much fun, especially the versus mode, but I really started to get tired of the asshole players. I made a detailed list of them and why they're exhausting me. I hope you understand me and justify my opinions.

1) Trash talkers: The kind of players I hate most. They think that trash talking and insulting people on the internet is so easy, because nobody knows eachother and you're not meeting face to face. The same goes for the guys on NG. There are so many players trying to insult me -and other people- so I won't get in much details.

We were playing verus, I was Bill, in the first chapter of No Mercy. When we reached the stairs descending to the safehouse, I realized that my health is around 10, so I took some time to heal up. As a result, one of the survivors typed "Why don't you take pills instead, idiot? Fucking move next time!"

I try my best not to argue with players, not because I'm a pussy, but it wastes so much time, it gets exhausting as it progresses, and you completely lose your enthusiasm to play the game. Well, I do. Ignoring is the best thing to do.
2) Bossy/cocky/selfish players: These players always try to order you around and don't know a damn thing about team work, they just come up with their own plan and put it into work, and notably, these players don't last long, because they either walk alone like a lone wolf and get killed, or leave the game because he "can't stand his 'team mates'".

They also always walk ahead of the team and end up getting lost, then killed. 9 out of 10 players I play with never wait for me, they just go ahead and leave me to my fate, they never help me, and I soon get killed. If they save you from the pouncing of a hunter, they do it to score points, not to save you.

Another example of selfish players include the ones waiting in a toilet or a safe room, not even trying to help their team mates.
3) Kicking players: I came across a lot of these yesterday and got really pissed. They are always looking to kick someone for one of the following reasons:

They were waiting for a friend: Hmm, how about using the goddamn "play with friends" option then?

(Infected) You take too long to spawn: Yesterday, I was a boomer searching for an appropriate place to spawn and ambush the survivors, but after 20 seconds of wandering around, somebody started a vote and I immediately got kicked. Wow...........

You got in trouble: In the first chapter of No Mercy, a smoker caught me, and I got kicked just because of it, probably because they couldn't bother to come back for me. Well, then why don't you at least leave me to die and let me recover my mistakes in the next round? Why kick me?!

You didn't know the language they spoke: This doesn't happen to me, but it usually happens to Russians, who may be the only player in the team that didn't know English.

For no reason at all: Sometimes, they'll just kick you just because they're assholes.

4) Team killing players: I've only come across one so far, it was a German guy I guess, he sometimes shot me on purpose, and he wasn't blinded by vomit or anything. And he once attacked me as a smoker while I was a hunter, he kept clawing me, I clawed him back, but the round ended. I asked him why he was doing it, he didn't reply. I tried to kick him but the vote failed, that sneaky bastard.

5) Obsessive players: This usually happens amongst the infected, some hunters/smokers always try to attack and kill the same person, no matter where they are and what they are doing.

I guess that's all. Now, who agrees with me? Also, if you want to make additions, feel free.

Update: Lol how did they do this? (see picture below)

I think this applies to ALL online games. In CoD4, for example, some people just don't listen to me. If I'm playing S&D, everyone just rushes out and usually they get killed. TEAMWORK, PEOPLE!

Yeah, it surely applies to all online games, but I haven't played much online games except Left 4 Dead, so my knowledge about this is kinda limited. I played CoD 4 a few times, and Counter Strike a few years back.

Most people know nothing of teamwork.

people suck. nuff said

Agreed.
