Cool, they patched L4D.

Shame it's still boring as fuck and the console server browser works as effectively as Onanism.

Making the Survivors go in circles constantly by pulling one down from the roof (lift crescendo part) is hilarious.
Yeah because half of pubbers can't open the door
Well depending on the situation, it's a risk to go all the way over there to open it.

Although I guess it's a better alternative if you can't kill the Smoker on time.

[-]January 23, 2009 - Left 4 Dead Update Released

Updates to Left 4 Dead have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:

Left 4 Dead


Fixed an exploit with melee where swapping weapons ignored the intended delay between swings.

In Versus mode, the Tanks' health now reflects the damage he takes from burning.

Fixed an exploit related to the "joinclass" command
Oh no No more weapon swapping for fast meleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

yeah...those couple of rounds we played showed that the tank didn't really do shit.

anyone else have a bug where if you're using the shotty (either of them)?  shoot then melee, and you hear two shots.

Tank has always been useless if the Survivors had more than one auto-shotgun.

Much needed Tank fix and buff there .

Also. Why are people saying its a nerf? Do you know what it did?

Yes, a Tank that runs in head first on fire will now die slightly faster than if he wasn't due to the fact that fire does real damage, but thats irrelevant. If you were doing that you were a rubbish tank and were going to die instantly anyway.

The timer before from when you were set on fire until you died in VS mode was 30 seconds. Now it's 75.

So yeah. Massive Tank buff.

It's 40 for Expert. 30 for Normal and VS.

And they didn't before against Tier 2 weapons?

The fire damage is negligable. As I said it takes 75 seconds for the fire to kill the tank, so in 10 seconds it'll have done almost nothing and you would've died very soon after anyway.

A lot of the time the tank has no choice in the matter though. I've been on fire before I even gained control once. All they have to do is run fowards and throw it at your feet. Which is far easier than being the tank trying to avoid it.

Now I'm the kind of tank that stays as far away as possible and throws rocks, but even then they've set me on fire loads of times. And then you had 30 seconds to run around like a headless chicken and die. It's far better now. Of course i say all this but i've not actually played since the patch because i'm at home. But unless they did something else to the tank at the same time I can't see how this change is a bad thing.

I don't know about the PC version since I only have the 360, but playing online is now worse than before.

The patch either hasn't been applied to 360 yet or simply didn't work, don't know which but since everyone has seen this announcement the bugs are being exploited way more than before. And being the tank in versus is a death sentence, most of the time you see the tank die in 5 seconds or less =\

It's not up yet. Valve said it would be 'up in the coming weeks' when they released the PC one.

They weren't going to let Microsofts ~3 week certification process hold back bug fixes from the PC players.
