Amen brother, people need to curb the "lone wolf" syndrome in order to get anywhere in this game. IT'S COOPERATIVE FOR A REASON!!

Sorry for the yelling but, it frustrating when you can tell someone just got done playing Halo and tries to play this the same way. (complete with bunny hopping.....)

What's annoying to me on top of that is everyone tries to shoot every zombie! When there's 1 or 2 rushing towards me, I can perfectaly handle that, but the guy behind just HAS to try and shoot it aswell and do a fair amount of friendly fire in the process. It's just not needed.

I hate it when someone doesn't talk, but there is nothing wrong with seraching every single room! I've saved my time plenty of times becuase I found a lone medkit or pipebomb hiding in an obscure corner.

I hate stragglers and they cause more problems for a team than someone rushing on ahead. Infact i've found in the Versus mode as survivors the best tactic is to all rush ahead together, shoot whatever gets infront of you and ignore the rest.

Are you playing on the PC or Xbox 360? I wouldn't be surprised if people aren't talking on the PC, but the Xbox 360? That would be very disappointing!

I only play with people I know on a Ventrillo server, I can't imagine random peeps on your team.

And if somone's screwing with you that much just leave them 4 dead, they'll learn to keep up quick.

Although the bleed out does take foooorever some times.

Funny thing is the dumbass that has to scare the witch every time is always some guy on the opposite team in Versus for me. At least if you listen to commentary they mention that originally the witch would attack everybody until she died but now she just attacks the person that startles her.

There are lots of people on Live that don't use their mics... I don't understand why they don't. Did they discard their mic when they bought there XBox? Perhaps thinking it was just some random extra cords that they didn't understand? I mean there is no good reason to be completely silent the whole game. Especially when the mic-less people are one of the stragglers, that pretty much means an unsuccessful campaign right there.

Ugh, stragglers.  I know that a lot of them are guys that are new to the game, but seriously, if they haven't rolled through the campaign a few times, then that's just stupid on their part.

i think it has something to do with the fact that some people are not ready to play on expert.   They think they are ready for it, but quickly bail out when shit hits the fan.  Hopefully people will realize that staying in a group  close together, is not optional.  Backtracking is forbidden, especially for more ammo.   I love it when someone runs back 100 yards across the street, up the stairs and in the room, for 40 bullets that are in another room where we were headed.  

All the same, I love this game.  Look forward to playing some later this evening after classes.

I've been blown away by how few people talk in L4D on the 360. I swear, every other game people talk too much, in L4D, they don't talk enough."

Yeah, I'm just as stumped. That's why I usually assemble a team myself, though this notion COULD carry over to every other person out there playing."

If I get stuck with quiet folks, I'll try to stick by them if they're doing well enough, but the minute they fuck up and continue to be silent, I ditch 'em. I've got better things to do with what little free time I have.

Whenever I host I wait till the game is full of friends and acquaintances. If and when there is room for a random and any join without a mic they get the boot simple as that no questions asked.

no rushing is the worst. our team kills all zombies. and we let the supers respawn. because were so close we will take out a super without having any damage done to us.

something that is even. worse is people who hold down LT the whole time to punch hunters all the time. its so frustrating as a hunter to get punched randomly when the dont even see you.

I was in a few rounds of L4D on 360 where people didn't talk but the majority of the games are full of talkers.  What I hate is when people whine that people aren't talking ALL THE TIME.  WTF, I just said something a minute ago, why do I have to keep talking when there's nothing to say.  There's been like 3 different times where some guy was saying 'why isn't anyone / aren't you talking?'  SHUT UP!

Stragglers are the reason I only play expert with people on my friends list.
