Any wall the tank can throw a rock through you can shotty through, so quit complaining and just shoot back.

LAWL, yet we had 3 auto shotties & assult rifle blasting rounds thru the elevator and nothing hurt him, even they the person who was the tank said so.




and for the person above, your right l4d is gettin better but the servers still tend to suck..

ive played it on the 360 and i just dont like the fact you need two 360's linked together to get 4 player co-op mode. (unless im incorrect which i dont think i am)



anyways just close this thread, i needed to vent earlier cuz steam just randomly shut down.

I went and did some testing, the results were ... odd. All directions given are from facing the doors of the elevator.

Autoshotties can penetrate the center two panels of the back wall. There's a random place they can penetrate on the right wall, but it's flakey. The AR/HR can penetrate the back wall and all along the right wall, but it does not penetrate anywhere on the left wall. Why? Nobody knows.

However, tank rocks also can't go out through the walls the autoshotty can't get through unless the tank wedges up against the wall so he clips through. When he does that, the autoshotty can also return fire against him - plus it's easy enough to dodge so he's not right up against the wall aiming towards you, and his rock will just shatter harmlessly on the elevator.

That being said, it's glitchy and another example of terrible map design. The elevator walls should all be thin enough to be shot easily through (Or all thick enough to not, but I don't believe elevator walls are really that thick).

The hunter glitch is fun sometimes when one survivor runs ahead and locks himself in the safe room, then you 'blink' in and destroy him. That being said it should be fixed next patch I hope. As for the tank I think it fair to let him punch through thin walls, you complain about you hitting you from within the elevator but what can the tank really do when you guys run into the vents (Other than park it and let the CPU take control). I do think the servers need some work, and more first party ones but I guess valve is trying to save money. The good news is the game is fun and lot of this can and probably will be fixed in patches!

Why? because you touch yourself at night!

I believe the patch update only made punching through walls not work. Since the complaint here is about throwing rocks through walls, that doesn't change things.

If rocks have been changed to not go through walls it wasn't in the notes. I'll test if this is what you're saying, but it sounds like you're simply referring to the patch notes.

"im tired of crappy l4d servers where you got 8 people ready for versus mode and it starts a normal campaign and tired of tryin to start a campaign only to see its a versus server and have to return to lobby multiple times till its finds the correct server.
im sick of 3rd party servers with horrible connections."


I TOTALLY agree with you here! The servers used to be really good and reliable but lately (in the past 3-4 weeks), they have really gone down hill. I tried to play last night before the patch update and it no games could play longer than 5 mins. This was before the patch and I hope the patch has resolved this issue.

I'd pay more for better, more effecient and reliable servers personally!
