WTF...

Realism VS needs longer spawn times not SHORTER ones... This is sooo fuckin stupid.

Yay!!! Now i can pounce on someone after i boom on them..

Seriously Valve STOP fucking with shit that no one cares about and fix your damn games already.

Lord knows L4D1 could use alot of luv, and L4D2 could still use some fixn for Cresendo skipping glitches...

Yet they make spawn timers short in realism VS...

NEWS FLASH, realism VS already favours the infected... DUH!

Gib Fest is great. I love the gore that comes with destroying commons. I love that gun, its awesome, and its a good easy way to do Expert for those who don't have the achievement.

No new mutation yet. Could it be this is the end of mutations? Or are they just too lazy to update it?

It's mince

. Too bad I can't get my name changed here.

Anyway I'm just surprised that they didn't say anything today, such as "No more mutations" or "gib fest for two weeks".
