Valve f*cked this one up

[binge]

Yeah, Valve fucked this game up bad
The game was cool to play
Kinda repetitive but that wasn't any problem

And now they released this new update with the melee cooldown which totally ruines the game

L4D is not the same game anymore, hunters can pounce away now, hordes can do 50dmg now because you can't melee this shit away

I'm off, this game is over, really
Unless they fix this melee cooldown somehow, i'm gonna keep playing other games

Valve releases the most beautiful updates for TF2
But the updates we get at l4d are just shit, shit that you can't whipe of your ass because you forgot to whipe last time

Really, this game is over

oooh melee cooldown? God this is what closet camping brings to the community well done fuckers, I don't blame Valve for this though, they can change it back later or somin

Even though this is going to get locked, I must point something out. It's a double edged sword. Infected are now done bitching about the melee, so at least playing as the infected is easier

When did this get realesed? i have not played in two days but before that i have not noticed much change.

Actually, I like the melee update. It requires more skill and more thinking now. Its not just, hold melee whenever your not using your guns. You get a few fast melees before the cooldown timer. So use it only when there are zombies near you. Dont go to them and melee them. Shoot them from a distance.

Same thing with hunters. Its not supposed to be easy to hit a hunter in mid pounce. It requires timing. You only need one melee, and it gives you more than that. Think of baseball. To hit the ball, you dont keep swinging the bat until the ball comes to you. You wait for the ball and swing at the appropriate time.

If you can only survive by means of melee spam, then L4D isnt for you.

edit: furthermore, it adds more realism to the game. There is no way your character could swing a t2 weapon that fast. You go pick up something that size and weight and try and swing the butt all the way out and back to firing position in less than a second. See how long you can do it for.

Wow, is it really that bad? Havent played in a while and im on 360 so i havent experienced it yet. To be honest though this doesnt bother me, since i didnt melee much anyway.
