I like Left 4 Dead.
I like, in theory, Versus mode in Left 4 Dead.
What I don't like is playing with complete nosedildos who are tripping on umulax.
And it's actually PRETTY HARD to get 8 people (the required[1] number for Versus in L4D) without pulling in random internet people who want to get their feelings all up in my areas. And while some random internet people are cool, most of 'em aren't, and the desire to not play with randoms tends to result in a coordinated team of 4 facing a pickup group, and coordinated teams versus randoms who probably can't even talk to each other leads to slaughter *almost* as fast as griefers do. And while that's way more fun than playing with teamkillers and saboteurs, it still ends pretty much the same way.
And so, I have a thought: Who's up for a little coordinated ultraviolence? Who wants to try to get 8 reasonable adults online and shoot zombies (and each other) all at once, splitting skill levels across teams deliberately, As Valve Intended?
Edit: Should probably include link to my Steam profile.
And also the Steam Group I created for it.
[1]: With less than 4 Infected, it's extremely hard to stop the Survivors at all. And a Survivor team with a bot against 4 Infected is doomed. Leaving aside, y'know, the various team games with goals other than "run the level", where the presence of the bot will get you totally 200% killed a lot of times over.
