The rather annoying thing about it all

[Gordon-Shepherd]

I think we can all agree that yes, l4d is fun, but it is far from perfect. some stuff needs fixed. Shit needs sorted. I thought they'd have it fixed by christmas for obvious reasons, but it isn't, so we are all assuming they ,ust be working on something big.
But it would be nice if they gave some word, yknow? at least say "hey we know about x and we're fixing it" or "big patch coming up, yo."
I mean for all we know they aren't doing anything. Maybe they're concentrating on tf2 (in which case they have their priorities like, upside down)
Has anyone like, confirmed a big fix update coming or something? emailed gabe or whoever we're meant to email?

What have you found that needs fixing? I love the game, still play it but somethings I've found...

Dead Air:

• Glitch to avoid Crane trigger point by jumping between the buildings and you can get someone to reach and push you up.
• Glitch that gets you stuck on Plane Door in finale if you try to board too early.

Death Toll:

• Glitch to avoid Petrol Station trigger point by breaking down sliding door.

General:

• Glitch that launches you off Mini-Gun to get in unaccesible places.
• Not being able to stop people from healing you (Bots love to heal you at the most inappropriate times!)
• No anti-rage.... deliberate friendly-fire (after someone unloads a 50 rounds into you, it should realise...) and Zombies in Verses being able to Hunter Push their own team (off the top of buildings or into fire).
• Human Melee too powerful/rapid?

Finally some news: http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/56541

Solid details on the first batch of Left 4 Dead downloadable content should be out "shortly," according to Valve writer Chet Faliszek. But, in true Valve tradition, it appears the announcement has already been postponed, as it was expected "before Christmas."

Like I said, Valve time.

The shotgun, both auto and normal looks worse than any gun from CS because of the hand.

Like this (sorry about the crap video i didn't make it).

A lot of Valve staff is probably on an XMas break (like a lot of other companies), which is why nothing major has been released in a bit.

I can't wait for an announcement of new content though

Wow, another "i luv l4d, but this is annoying me so let me adress my feelings so i feel better =(" thread..

Soon you'll see the L4D section thread list go something like this "What drives me nuts" "why i dont like this game" "needs fixing" " DAMNIT VALVE" "my personal rant" ect.

Regaurding your post Gordon, no game is ever perfect when first released, im guessing you're talking about technical issues which is already being discussed in other threads. Like Eagle said, they are on vacation, and will hopefully fix it soon.

Theres always something not to like in anything, right? Look at Reflex's rediculous complaint for reference...

 

[Ennui]

not a whole lot for them to fix IMO, maybe nerf melee just a bit, and then take care of all the minor bugs and exploits (there are a bunch of ways to sort of cheat in campaign/versus as humans by skipping sections, etc). All I really care about right now is for them to get the SDK out, and maybe start thinking about adding a chainsaw.

Wow, another "i luv l4d, but this is annoying me so let me adress my feelings so i feel better =(" thread..

Yes it is
I see no problem here
I mean once it's all fixed said threads will go away.

Even on holiday how hard can it be to say "yeah guys it's alright we know of these bugs and are fixing them"

i think the 'i see my legs' thing was a mistake
