L4D2

[Proficient]

What Happened when you first started playing L4D?

I sucked everytime i went to avoid the witch i got caught

[Nosfrat]

I sucked large amounts of balls, and kept ranting about how dumb the game was, for it was impossible to defend yourself against pinning SIs.
I declared the game one of the worst I had ever played, and didn't play for a year and a half.

And one day I decided to try again... After a week I could beat the easier campaigns on Expert with bots, and within a month I was pretty much always the best player in every single public lobby I ended up in (campaign, that is).
But yeah the first two hours or so, I was really like "the hell, this game is impossible and unfair", but then I was used to CoD zombies, where running in circles is the ultimate strategy...

First time I started playing L4D2 I joined a campaign and there were two team killers.

First game of L4D2, join Dead Center, instant kick. good times +1

As for first couple of games, eh. It was technically my first time playing an FPS with keyboard and mouse, since I had just transferred from big console nerd, but I'd like to think I was average. Previous playtime included playing L4D2 on the Xbox, but I don't think that really counts.

I did pretty well actually. Kept popping adrenaline before every event though.

"Adrenaline makes fighting through hordes easier"

Me: "Oh well ok *pop*"

lol

[g.c.f.p.b.]

I had read every word of the Left 4 Dead wikipedia and had over 1,000 hours of FPS experience playing TF2 and the like.

I was rather good.
I'm pretty sure I've actually gotten worse over time as I've stopped really caring about how well I play.
