    After that crazy steam sale, almost everybody bought l4d 2 (if you didn't, shame on you :p ). So, based on this thread, I started thinking about a steam group for us to meet and play together. RaYYaN gave me incentive so I just created it.
    Right now I am group admin, RaYYaN and ArmageddonAsh ([OCN] Drunkeninja on steam) are officers. Apart from the standart privilegies, I gave them permission to change the group messages, picture and other 'cosmetic' things.
    So, join the group to have a good time with nbr members that play l4d, and you can find other games in their preferences too.
    Also, if you have any suggestions like cool group descriptions and avatars, post here so we can use it.

    Here is the link to the group: linky. Thanks RaYYaN for posting it.


    thanks for reading.
    thanks for joining.
    cheers.

    I'll try and play, but ever since the last patch my hel80 refuses to play L4D properly... I think it senses impending retirement with the G73 incoming :p

    Should def. cheese some achievements though, especially those related to team versus.

    You can count me in, too, though I'm staying in a hotel ATM (in the process of moving) with an internet connection slower than mud in July so I won't be playing any multiplayer games for a while. Expect to see me in game around mid-August at the latest as I move back into the dorm.

    Until then, kill some Jockeys for me :) How I hate those little buggers...

    Mines almost done downloading, 2 AM here so most likely tommorow we will see what we can do

    I'm sure many of the new owners (myself included) are looking to run through the campaign with some cool people :D
    (preferably with voice chat ;) )

    My steam name is RaYYaN, so don't be surprised if I add you as a friend

    i think it would be a good idea to give a list of those that are members of the group and state there NBR username for those that use different names when compared to there NBR name (like me) :)

    I joined the group. My Steam username is Mastershroom, and my display name at the moment is |FO!|Shroom:

    Steam Community :: ID :: |FO!|Shroom

    I generally prefer L4D2, but I have the original as well, so hit me up if you need a 4th or something.

    ok guys, i will edit the first post to list the forum names and steam names.
    just give me one day or two and it will be done.
    to rayyan, yeah it was a very fun game, but my desktop pc is lagging as hell. maybe my hp laptop can play it smoother, i'll have to tweak my settings to see what i get. I am getting a mic to voice chat, maybe tomorrow we can play with voice and you will see how bad i am at english, lol. AND, my internet now seems to be stable, but i didn't finish the router configuration yet. I expect to be able to play tomorrow with no disconnections, lets see.

    If you're in the eastern time zone, then i'll be available tonight.

    If someone has a different name, maybe they could include their forum name in brackets as well or something like that. That's what i did in order to avoid confusion. I'll have to work a bit on my fps skills though, i've been out of PC gaming for a bit, just got back thanks to my G73 :D.

    EDIT: If you see me online during the day (eastern time zone), it means i'm using my university's high speed connection to download some games... (they haven'T imposed a download throttle on steam yet :D)

    Nice group. Joined. This was the only game I grabbed from Steam's summer sale. I'll submit a group picture for consideration if no one minds.

    I'm not very good yet, so you'll all have to forgive me if I mess up a lot :p

    Is anyone else having problems getting L4D2 to remember certain graphics settings? Every time I start it up, I have to manually change it back to "multi-core enabled", it's sort of annoying.

    Also lots of dudes in the group on now, lets go!
