In Greifers try to ruin every game, people decide to try to go solo, and they'll run out way in front of the team, then get pounced and immediately ragequit. People ragequit for any and all reasons.

Did they lose a round? Ragequit.
Did they win a round? Ragequit.
Is it their turn to play survivor? Ragequit

It's the absolute worst when you're having a really close game, like super close, and they lose 1 round, they'll often all leave, or at least, a large portion of the team.

Fucking L4D man. Fuckin' L4D.


IMO, its Valve fault for not taking longer to develop l4d2 and balancing versus better.. I mean once you become slightly decent at this game you are invincible as survivor

also, there should have been a good match maker that matches people together of the same level.. l4d2 has all of l4d1 problems.. kinda weird considering it's a squeal..

In the times I've played with randoms I've only ever had someone grief and that's because he had given up. Not a defense for him but still.


well, all I can say it that you're very lucky.. I personally haven't played public games for more than 6 months now because I was fed up with the constant rage quiting.. playing the first map of a campaign.. then going back to the lobby

anyway, if anyone can relate to what I just said, I play with this group now with realism confogl versus
it's hella fun and no ragequitting allowed.. it's an invite only group so you would have to join the chat for more info :)

lolwut, a good coordinated team of infected will rape any survivors. L4D requires as much co-op playing infected than survivors imo

I never really have many issues with CS... Like I'm usually surprised at how friendly they can be at times O.o
Same with TF2, snarky comments and the occasional asshole (same for all games) but never much hate at all.


L4D1&2 though... I just don't play them much anymore because I could not stand them.
Between instant vote kicks and ragequiting, plus the constant need for everyone to be an asshole...

I actually think limitation is good for creativity. If we had an engine that could do everything, we would be in trouble. It gives us focus. ~~ Randy Lundeen

Left 4 Dead has more assholes than a proctology ward. That said, if you can find a few people to play with (8 is the magic number), it's not that bad.

Of course, thats what really sucks about L4D.
Its a fun game, but your best bet is to get friends since Matchmaking is a disaster waiting to happen.

TF2. Also, it sucks after all the updates.

EDIT: Lol, yesterday I played DoD: Source for the first time in years and a random guy entered the server he kept repeating "You like pines in my assbutt"

That's just bad luck. The vast majority of the DOD:S community are more mature than that. Except when there's a free weekend.

As mentioned already, that's more the G-mod fanbase. You see it with TF2 and HL2 because those provide the most characters/models to mess with. (And models that have moving mouths, etc.)

They are mostly made with gMod, other than that rarely Source Film Maker (or something)

And I just started TF2, tried to go for sniper and killed 11 people all headshots - then suddenly all other team went sniper until they reached class limit

I hate people
