I believe Valve operates at GMT-7, so it's lunch time for them right now. Ommnomnomnom.

Played some survivor mode last night, seemed solid fun. Especially the lighthouse map.
Can't wait to try the new campaign that is sure to follow :ninja:

Any way of checking out the stats on the best time of the longest survival run for each map?

Survival is pretty fun, campaign mode on expert was getting too easy.

It's not just the melee fatigue that bothers me, every time someone gets jumped by a hunter, anyone standing next to him gets knocked 3 feet back and can't shoot, melee or move for a few seconds.

I was playing it with some (decent) friends last night and we got 12 minutes on the lighthouse on our third attempt. It's quite a rush and requires very different tactics to the other gametypes, which keeps things interesting... at least short term. Most maps we were able to get gold on our first try. I think once i've achieved gold on all the maps, I probably won't play the gametype much after. Versus is still where the action is.

Oh playing survivor with pubs is impossible. You absolutely 101% need voice comms for that gametype, so that the team can communicate which direction the tank is coming from to concentrate fire on.

I can see why didn't allow other human players to be infected in survivor mode. Games would last about 30 seconds with a capable team.

yeah, just for survivor i believe. it's to balance things out a bit, because hunter pounces can easily be melee'd off and everyone stays close together in survivor mode. the extra fatigue makes things a little harder, especially if a tank is coming.

It's the same in versus though right? Though in survivor mode the effect seems to last something like a full second longer and the knockback is much greater :\

And hmm, i hadn't though about the melee fatigue like that, maybe you have a point...

yeah, basically greater knockback and extra recovery time for those in the splash radius. it was quite a shock (if you pardon the pun) at first, but you get used to it and it makes sense for that particular gametype.

I was borrowing a buddy's copy of L4D, but he took it back last week before this update. Brutal timing. Just by reading that update list I can't tell if it's worth splurging for my own copy...
