I can't play a game without being stuck with idiots.

Ha same. Add me if you like.

They're playing on PC.

Well, for 360 players my tag is EpicBomb. I'm trying to get my avatar LFD2 shirt.

All I've noticed is a bunch of quitters on versus. it's a shame, I've won only 2 versus campaigns, despite playing 10 that would end with me winning if the ENTIRE other team didn't quit out after getting spanked in one round

Usually the lower the difficulty you go, the more idiots you see. I try and do expert games as much as possible (making sure everyone has mics) and usually they're pretty competent.
 
This is on xbox by the way.

Yea I bought it on 360 and ended up selling it for the PC version.
 
It's sounds bias, but the steam community is much better for the Left 4 Dead games.

usually when i join a pub room, i side with the team with mics. starting out as survivors or SI is irrelevant to me. that's given me good results in pub rooms. i've quickly got a bunch of achievements in scavenge mode and the L4D shirt. i'm 4 games shy of getting the shirt for versus. i could have had that sooner if it weren't for rage quitters.
 
but yeah, you can add me on either steam or xbl. im currently playing the 360 version jut because it's easy pickings in there and helps me learn the maps at my pace.

all of the people who are good bought cod mw2 a week before and too engrossed in the game to give a shit about l4d2

Right here on your friendly giantbomb! And not on xbl cause those people are fucking crazy monkey people.

" I would be playing it online, but I've had non stop lag issues and now no games even show up when i search, so ive put it aside. "

(edit post)
 
I got a mic now and beat normal.  Haven't beat a single expert campaign because everyone is so completely terrible.  Furthest I've gotten is the mall in the first campaign.  Sifting through the numerous assholes (worst community I've ever seen) online to find anyone decent is getting tiresome.  Now I remember why I sold the first game.  Guess it's my own fault for not having any 360 friends that play this game.

Feel free to send me an invite sometime. I may accept, as I usually get paired up with complete morons.

I know what you mean...I got the game for Christmas, but I feel like a lot of other people must have.  The most essential concept, staying together, is completely lost in some people...I'll try playing it again when I come home for spring break.
