Minic Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I run TF2 on Vista perfectly fine, sometime sit doesn't start up properly but all i do is close the game from the task manager, exit steam, reboot steam up and launch the game again and it usually works perfectly. You're best bet for answers are the steam forums, there will most likely be a few topics where people have had problems like you and they will usually be a fix in the topics.

gamesguru Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) So the latest DLC has finally been named and with it comes some information. Most noticeably, the DLC will also be available for L4D2 as well as the original, with the added bonus of the No Mercy campaign: In an interview with GamesTrailers, Valve's Chet Faliszek announced The Sacrifice, a new DLC pack that will be compatible with both Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2. The Sacrifice will tell the events leading up to the last L4D expansion, The Passing, which revealed the death of one of the original L4D cast members. In The Sacrifice however, who dies will be up to you. Source Anouncment Includes footage and some information on the L4D comic(s). Also right at the end "maybe there will be a new survivor joining the cast". Interesting. I myself can't wait for new L4D content, including the digital comic that is going to be released. I'm glad the content is being released for L4D2 with the added bonus of No Mercy, which I suppose was a wise move considering not everyone that owns L4D2 necessarily owns the original.

FullMetal Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Well it's not really fair to be honest. They should've done the same thing with The Passing then... giving the DLC also for the Left 4 Dead owners. Anyways; the whole thing about a new survivor joining the cast. He just answered Geoff's dumb question to 'keep speculation going'. I would find it extremely odd that they'd add a 'new' survivor to the cast. I mean how are they going to make it fit into the picture? Valve doesn't really seem to dig Left 4 Dead 1 that much and I can only assume that 'The Sacrifice' will be the last DLC the game will ever see. And we all know it'll take place BEFORE The Passing, and we all know Bill died... and we didn't see anyone new in 'The Passing'. Left 4 Dead 2 on the other hand might get another DLC with campaign and such after 'The Sacrifice' and the 'other' DLC the game will get. But on the other hand I also doubt that. Can't wait though... 150 pages 'webcomic' which also gives a bigger backstory to all the Left 4 Dead 1 characters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown Sugar Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 has anyone heard that in the new dlc coming in october 5th you can choose who dies and who lives thats what i just read on steam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullMetal Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Yes it was already known when The Passing was announced/released that the 'prequel' to The Passing will feature a moment where players can choose which character will die... but that in the end The Passing/"Left 4 Dead Comic" will portray the 'ideal situation'. Also didn't see it will be out the fifth of october... just reading it on STEAM now (must've missed it this weekend, only had a newsitem concerning the poll/mutations); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullMetal Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Jesus f*ck... the comic surprised me actually. I didn't expect that much from it but it turns out to be pretty awesome. Thing is though didn't expect the whole 'military being evil f*cks, you gonna get killed' story. I expected something more fun and original though. (or more along the lines of Left 4 Dead 1; you're going to crash anyways no matter how and what). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Thing is though didn't expect the whole 'military being evil f*cks, you gonna get killed' story. I expected something more fun and original though. (or more along the lines of Left 4 Dead 1; you're going to crash anyways no matter how and what). Current speculation is that the beginning of the DLC will involve the four survivors breaking out of Millhaven. Should be very interesting, since we've never had actual man-to-man combat before. Can't wait for the rest of the comic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamesguru Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 That indeed would be interesting. Could be risky though. As for the comic, I was really impressed by the detail of the illustrations as well as the writing. A few Easter Eggs here and there, like the noting of how almost all of the getaway vehicles crash and the Team Fortress 2 figurine at the bottom left of page 25.

FullMetal Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Ceda poster on the wall, which is more of a L4D2 reference. Can't wait to see more. Curious what they will show about Francis', Zoey her and Bill's past. I'm even thinking about them showing a bit of Bill's Vietnam past... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullMetal Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I think it hints more to the fact that Valve ported the L4D1 survivors to L4D2 AND they're bringing out No Mercy for L4D2 aswell (along with The Sacrifice). Same thing with the AK47's that are shown in the comic; "Soldiers from Millhaven" carry them and Bill aswell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lolwut Pear Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Ceda poster on the wall, which is more of a L4D2 reference. Ceda was in L4D1, it was just more discrete. Look closely in saferoom walls and you'll find posters instructing on how to build the safehouses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpain Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 "Hold ya horses, I'll be with you in a minute." Damn this comic reminded me of the times I have with L4D1. Love how they started with the farmhouse finale. I'm stoked to see Francis's flashback. Hell I even think the Zombie MC from The Passing is his motorcycle club.

WelcomeToLibertyCity Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 This comic greatly surprised me. I am definitely pumped for The Sacrifice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamesguru Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Part 2 is now here: Link I thoroughly enjoyed the second chapter. Some interesting pieces of info, especially the Carriers revelation. I felt that this chapter was more interesting and captivating than the first. It seems we've only tipped the iceberg so far.

Pat Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Yet more speculation from other forums, the medic is going to replace Bill in future DLCs/L4D3. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up dying, though, even though I'd be pretty disappointed with Valve for taking such a cliche route. Also, Francis' story is next. Should be interesting.

FullMetal Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) Holy f*cking sh*t this keeps getting better and better... in a way I wish this was part of the singleplayer campaign and had alot of cutscenes. Can't wait... The Carriers idea is pretty cool indeed... and as far as I know I have never seen or heard about "that idea" in a zombie movie/game before. Would hate it to have a replacement for Bill... Bill cannot be replaced. I wouldn't want the Doc to 'join in' on Bill's place... but one of the soldiers on the other hand would be nice.

Knife Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 The female soldier looked like TF2's Pyro which I guess was intentional. Also, Zoey in this comic looks seriously nothing like the in-game Zoey.

Pat Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 The Carriers idea is pretty cool indeed... and as far as I know I have never seen or heard about "that idea" in a zombie movie/game before. 28 Weeks Later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullMetal Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Really? I have only seen 28 days later so... my bad. I'm really stoked for this. I also hope we'll get to see 'new weaponry' but I doubt that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptiko Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 28 Weeks later is pretty sh*t, Its watchable though. The first is awesome, I cant wait for the third one, Danny Boyle is back directing I thought this comic part was slightly better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[SM]CJZera Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 The female soldier looked like TF2's Pyro which I guess was intentional. the fact it's female could be a reference to how nobody knows Pyro's sex... Anyways, I gotta say I would actually like for those two soldiers to live, even though we know they're just redshirts destined to die... I liked this chapter so far, with the army talking about how much they don't know about infected and all... But I wonder why's that witch wandering around when it's clearly night... and since witches aren't atracted to sound as much as the rest of the infected, I wonder how did she get there so fast, in the middle of the night... I'm totally looking forward to the next one, this can only get better... And we finally get an answer on the carriers... I mean, they used that word in L4D2's last rescue but didn't say much about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard14 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Oh sh*t. So then that mean that Zoey's dad was also a carrier? Since the doctor said that the carrier gene runs on the fathers side, and Zoey killed her dad before he "turned", which he wouldn't since he was a carrier, that means that Zoey killed her dad for no good. He was going to be OK. That's f*cked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, so me hating comics and all, I secretly read this one while I was sick, and I've gotta say, it's pretty good. Francis' story arc will be interesting to read/watch.
