well looks like you can be a friendly zombie. in vs on no mercy, the other team left their zoey person hanging off a edge they couldn't get back to. so as a Hunter I thought "ima pounce on her, knock her down". well I went to, couldn't. so I jumped uptop and started to swipe at her/his hands and it said help your ally" and it put that icon over zoey's head. so I held X and found out that zombies can revive incapacitated survivors and help them up. so I've been having fun with that ever since

no pics, but try it with a friend in a private if you don't believe me.


To test this for yourself:

1) start a private match with atleast one friend as an infected and atleast two as survivors
2)kill ALL the AI survivors (if any)
3) incapacitate one of the two human players
4)walk up to that incapacitated survivor and hold "X"
5) the "reviving teammate" bar will pop-up, hold this until they are back up on their feet.


if I lied then may satan himself slap me silly with a wet newspaper


EDIT:
not tested on PC, but it probably WILL work. I think it may have to do with the latest L4D update. dunno

I don't doubt it, but I'm quite content sticking with the completely biased statement that the pc version is better :p

I doubt it, valve is pretty good with fixing this stuff.

What the PC version has over the XBox version is user-made content and regular patches.

360 version has universal playability (for scrubs like me with scrubtastic computers, heh).

And as always, there's the argument of stereotypical userbases. I haven't actually played either version, so I can't vouch for which userbase is better.

Great.

If your PC can't run it, and you don't have a <insert proprietary plaftorm here>, then either way you're going to be spending a good sum of cash to play the game. It boils down to how much you're willing to spend and who you want your money to go to, as well as which platform has what IPs that interest you more.

Fortunately, most major titles are released cross platform so it doesn't matter. :haw:

Fortunately, most major titles are released cross platform so it doesn't matter. :haw:Yeah but someone needed to program that conversion (and usually one or two platforms get shafted... usually the PS3 this time).

It would also benefit the developers to just have one platform to develop. Sure you lose unified hardware but -- only the exclusives really have that advantage anyway.

I noticed that as a tank you can also get into the survivors escape vehicles. I got in the chopper on no mercy and blocked everyone from entering as long as I could. The end cutscene was funny, zoey and the tank escaping safely in the helicopter

lol you can mess up the cutscene like that? Gotta try. I thought the tank could only knock people out of the chopper.
