So, I figured this would be an appropriate place to ask. Anyone play Left 4 Dead? I picked it up a few days ago, and have become quite addicted. It's a great game, figured there's at least someone around here willing to discuss it. In other news, I'm being evicted. The reasons are bullshit, I won't go into them just yet, that's another story altogether. But my landlord is a prick and has been in some shit in the past for just walking into tenants' apartments without proper notice, which is where this whole thing sprang from, so I'm just gonna seek greener pastures. Not even gonna fight it, it's not worth the time. But my best friend is also looking for a new place, so I suspect we'll be getting one together, and maybe with his brother as well. So that should be pretty sweet. Anyway, back to Left 4 Dead. It's a great game and I really recommend it. If any of you have it on 360, I've been trying to get a decent team going because pretty much all of my RL friends either a) lack a 360 or b) have one but don't have L4D. So, any of you play it? I need some good strategies for certain achievements.

I've got it. Fiendish game. General strategy is stay close together and move quickly, try to take about mobs quickly with molotovs or pipe bombs, avoid startling witches by turning off your flashlight... and absolutely leg it when a tank shows up

The Witches are giving my trouble, because I'm trying to go for the headshot achievement. Which is not easy, mainly because once I get close, some other idiot shows up and starts shooting at her. Simple task made incredibly difficult.
As for the Tank, I got the achievement where no one takes damage from it, but I'm still trying to get the achievement for soloing one.
I also got the achievement where no one takes damage after being vomited on by a Boomer. No idea how that worked out.

Moose?
L4D is rather fun. I beat the Tank solo on advanced, but I haven't tried expert yet. Not enough time to do much anymore.
Also, it was fucking hard.

The headshot achievement is easy if you have an auto-shotgun. Just walk up to the witch, aim your gun at her head, when she jerks her head, blast her straight in the face before she can get up. Worked for me.

Yeah, the frickin thing will just not work for me. Maybe I don't get close enough, I dunno. I got the one where no one takes damage after she gets pissed off. And I lit up a Tank with a Molotov but it didn't give me the achievement

Tanks can rip off safehouse doors, as I found out to my displeasure. Cowering in the bathroom failed me too

Cowering in the bathroom failed me too You should have learned from the lawyer in Jurassic Park. When a monster is on the loose NEVER RUN INTO A STALL!
