Maybe I was on the wrong server or something. All I could pick was the M4, and I could only make it about fifty yards into the map before I got sniped or bushwhacked. Over and over and over.

You were probably playing on the Sinjar map, which is very poorly designed for pub play. It encourages spawncamping and general enjoyable human being behavior very frequently (otoh if you have an experienced group playing it can be pretty fun).

Mine said none. I had to go to the TFR members list to find people who were playing, and I clicked "Join" from there.

Edit: I finally joined a game and played for a while which was fun. Not the TFR group, but it seemed like a decent crowd. I died five times and got zero kills!

The biggest thing that gets you killed early on is not knowing maps (and thus not knowing where you're going to get ambushed from); the second-biggest thing is not having a team that works together to get a sufficient volume of fire to suppress entrenched peeps. Try playing as Insurgents on Sinjar for a while until you get the hang of weapons and movement, you're bound to get a few kills ambushing Marines coming up the hill regardless of your skill level.

So, Lethal, what I thought was really bad lag? Turns out it was a multi-core processing issue. The game runs like a dream now. So next time it will be less "omg, wtf lag?" and more "omg, wtf wheredthathuntercomefrom?"

What switch did you change to fix this, I probably have the same issue

I am highly disappointed. Left4Dead requires an internet connection to join a lobby, so you can't have LAN games with 4 people if you only have 3 accounts with Left4Dead. You can just put one in offline mode for all the other Valve games

OK so stalker just stopped working yesterday. No idea why. If I can get it working again before the STEAM EXTRAVAGANZA ends 12/31 i'll buy clear sky too (it's down to $17.50). I hate gsc gameworld almost as much as i love them :pleaseno:

Was running float32 and no-unique-weps degradation. Uninstalled them and the smart mod manager, backed up then deleted my stalker-shoc folder, un/re-installed through steam two or three times, still no dice. Maybe a registry key got hosed up, I don't know. Getting a new larger hd soon, hopefully poo poo will work and not break on that.

I really would like to see a game full of well done guns that people have never loving heard of. I'm tired of AK's, M16 and M4's, MP5's, Glocks, DEagles, and stuff like that. I want to play an FPS where the first assault rifle I find is a F2000, the first shotgun is a Saiga 12, and the first pistol is a Jericho. I mean, yea AK's are cool and stuff, but they can be used only so much. Same complaint with iron-sights in games, and scopes in games. If you're looking down sights or into a scope, you're not going to shove you're face into them like what happens in most games, and you're probably not going to stop running or sprinting and start walking. Is it really too much to ask for an accurate description of firearm handling in games?

In STALKER the best assault rifles are the OC-14 Groza[or the AS-VAL if you don't need a 40mm too] and the F-2000, there are about 10 pistols of which you're probably familiar with 6 (although pistols are useless just like in Real Life

), the best sniper rifle is the VSS Vintorez, the amount of poo poo you can carry is limited to ~110 lb, your vision wobbles when you run or sprint, bullet drop is handled pretty accurately, armor and weapons degrade with damage and use, you can die pretty drat quickly if you decide to get up in somebody's grill, explosions make your ears ring and your vision wobble, and there's a character modeled after Max Popenker of world.guns.ru fame. Interested?

The reason everyone loves Left 4 Dead so much is because it is something different for a versus game. To play as the infected ...

You seem not to realize that the co-op mode is, in fact, a versus game. What's the point of reaching the safe room if there's going to be three other jackoffs there with you? Then you're not even the Omega [wo]man!

Does anyone know why they restricted versus mode to normal difficulty?

That's how it was balanced

Would it make sense for TF2 to have a "red gets favored" mode, an even mode, and a "blue gets favored" mode?

And makes the guns actually, y'know, make sense. Instead of "can't hit poo poo ever"

The guns in vanilla 1.005 stalker are plenty accurate once you get one that doesn't suck (eg. isn't in 5.45x39mm); once you get a Vintorez and a decent suit the game gets real easy.

AK74u and FAL are the best guns for most purposes. The M4+aimpoint is pretty good too.
