    Well, after having the game since release i am finally enjoying Versus mode.  I must admit that i tried it only a few times when i got it but I really didn't enjoy it, nobody seemed to talk and I just couldn't get into it.  Last week myself and 7 other guys on my friends list had a fantastic couple of hours with the versus mode.  Again, last night, we had a couple of hours of fantastic gaming time with the versus mode.

    What experience do people get now with playing with others who they don't know ?(on versus or survival mode).  Is the communication better with people or do you still find that there's 4 people in your team but playing for themselves?.

    Thanks

    I played a lot of campaign before I went to versus.  Versus is fun when it's with people you know or people who talk.  In versus, I'd much rather play with someone who has a mic and a personality than someone who is a great player, but only watches out for themselves

    Only play Versus or Campaign when I have at least 2 other friends with me. If so, it's a blast.

    Coincidentally I only *just* got finished with a versus match and I gotta say... things are as pathetic now as they were then. It gets really disheartening. But maybe that's just me. I don't like versus as a whole. Campaigns are my favorite.

    True enough.  Sometimes one person will do, but usually 2.

    I don't get versus hate.  I guess I just find infected much more fun to play than survivor.

    @Wyatt: Survivor is just annoying because you can nearly guarantee there's always a runner =/

    However with friend it is pretty good, me and 3 others used to play public a whole lot and we dominated partly because we all had mics, but that was fun, then I play on my own and it was just dull.

    I find versus to be a very "hot or cold" experience. Either I get a good group of folks together (such as the various times that I've hopped on with Giant Bombers) and have a blast, or I get a bunch of strong silent types and quickly become bored/frustrated.

    It's probably just a personal thing for me. I really don't like the rushed feel I get from versus because you have to keep moving constantly. And, unless you're with friends, it just gets really tiresome. I really just enjoy the slow, relaxed pace that campaigns have. Though, I've never met anyone who shares my sentiments so, like I said, it's probably a personal thing : P

    @SniperMOUS: Last time I checked the server browser (which was a long time ago, mind you), there were a lot more campaigns going on than versus matches, so you're definitely not the only one.

    Actually, after I tried playing with the mic a few times, I don't bother anymore. As I always take the quick mach option, I usually ended up with dudes snorting and breathing and laughing with an irritating voice. And as 98% of the time I play with a friend with split, we end up looking after the two other players. And most of the time it works and we're having fun.
