I'm gonna be online later if any of y'all want get a team up & running. It's 5:50 here now (Central) and I'm planning on getting something to eat first, so say around 7 (my time) or so. Look for me under the name protoculturejunkie. I think there might be a 1 at the end of it, either one's me though.
If I use a password, it'll be my user name here, spelled the same way it is here.
Also for any mods, I'm putting this in Other Games, Dead Reign, and Game Room Announcments, as I have no clue which thread is the most appropriate for this topic. Feel free to post the answer underneath so everyone knows.

That's ok, I forgot to let people know I have the PC version. The thread I got going in the Other Games section has someone on there that plays on the Xbox.

PC version is better anyway. It can be modded much easier, thus giving longer life to the game overall. Not that it makes much difference, since L4D 2 will be out this fall(or was it winter?).

It's on YouTube. Someone replaced the zombie voices with Randy Savage quotes. What's the Ravaged Zoey mod?

I downloaded a few of the mods last week & tried out a couple of them. I can't get two of them to work though.
Dam It = Just one rather long mission. Could use a couple more ammo drops, and more bombs. Has one spot where you climb up a spiral staircase that's really easy to fall off of. Ends with a helicopter escape.
Death Abroad = Regular 5 mission game. The levels are fairly long and laid out fairly well. The Ship level is a real pain though, 'cause it's tilted sideways. Makes it easier to fall of the sides. The second level has a spot where you have to jump down onto the top of a truck, then onto the ground. The bots will go off the sides, but sometimes fail to jump, resulting in them having to be saved. I lost two of them when I jumped down, one fell, one stayed to pick him up, and one followed me down. Once rescued both the bots fell and I had to wait for them to fall to their deaths and spawn again. Oh, at one spot one the first level there's a spot where you can either hop down or take a staircase down. Hopping down is over a pit, and on one occasion a three bots managed to fall there, and almost immediately there was a horde rush on me.
Finally, on the last level, there are ample ammo drops (with weapons), first aid kits (not too many pils though), and molotovs (not many pipe bombs though. If you find any, save them for the run to the balloon). The reason for this, is because the balloon lands a quarter mile away from where the radio to call it is located. I find it easy to defend on the roof above the radio though because the zombies can only come at you from a couple different sides, and the tank seems to kill itself trying to get to you sometimes. Just that run once the 2nd tank is dead is hard due to the distance, the zombies, and if you don't follow the walkway you can fall off the side to your death (I did the first time), or get stuck in a spot and not know how to get out of there (I did the second time). The idea of escaping on a balloon seems dumb to me. The ending would have still worked if it was a boat you had to run to.
