Probably Rooster, having been in the same team with him in Sean's RTD for a year and in a DF Mafia a while ago. Other than that I can't say, not having a good read on you people, but don't worry, I'm working on it.

Errol, what is your favorite role from those in this game? And if you read the flavor text, which Ajah color seems the most appealing?

Interesting turn.

Qwerty, after catching the virus chaoticag managed to fight it to the point of immunity. He can still spread it, I think  ...which could be used as a horrifying weapon.

As my action, I'll do some investigation with the Rad-Man to check if the virus is causing trouble somewhere on the planet and what the Jags are up to.

Also, covering the truck with the rug should be fun.

And Construction Workers have earmuffs, thus making them ignore pipebombs. Which becomes quite the nuisance when 1/4 of the horde is these guys and half your team is down.

Fun things happened in L4D2 thus far:

1. Riding and dropping two survivors from the top of the sugar mill to the bottom in one life.
2. Riding a survivor to the bottom of the sea in the Bridge.
3. Playing the awesome Dark Carnival finale for an hour trying to beat it on advanced and finally succeeding.
4. Being scared out of your wits seeing a wandering witch approach the only door of the room you're holding up in.
5. Playing Versus with you guys.
6. Setting the tank on fire on the Bridge and rushing ahead leaving it raging behind.
7. Seeing one survivor of our team managing to run through the Bridge to rescue in Versus, the rest of the team having perished at 30%.
8. Lots of other things I don't manage to remember, many of them probably involving spitters.

Cool game.

Oi, how's our motley crew doing?

andrea's enthusiasm and "ROLLS" are and will be dearly missed if we don't find him alive, of which I'm rather pessimistic about.

I wonder if we can have a mode where you get to have EIGHT survivors?

There is and the infected team has 8 players too. Some time ago I managed to get on to one of these 16 player matches and Solarn joined me. As you'd expect, it's chaotic fun. Especially with some mods that are implemented with the player caps, like bigger hordes, faster tongues and two tanks spawning at once.

Even with just the 3 infected, the number of nasty strategies goes up significantly when you can have multiple smokers and boomers. I can't even imagine the traps possible in L4D2 8vs8. Also, it'd be neat if the 8 player survivor side had the original survivors with the new ones.

EDIT: Few pieces of news:
First, Valve moved the release to a day earlier, to make it available on the 17th everywhere in the world, not just the US. We'll see if they actually manage to release on time.

Second, L4D just updated adding 4vs4 matchmaking, finally.

The L4D2 demo is now available for everyone, I recommend checking it out, though it is a rather long download. There's great quantities of fun in the two levels of the demo. Killing zombies with the frying pan just begs the text "Zombie is propelled away from the force of the blow. Zombie has been struck down"

Also, about 2 weeks to go to the full game. I'm eagerly awaiting to be able to ride a survivor to the sunset.

That's right, new sale, and this time I ain't late, there's still 1 hour and 47 minutes to go!
