Left 4 Dead 2 VERSUS is ALMOST UNPLAYABLE in 2024

[@Himzeyy]

I know that the game isn’t “unplayable” but 95% of the time I sit in the lobby for 5-15 minutes just for everyone to leave in the first chapter. I still get good games but it usually depends on the day. I forgot to mention the ddos but it forces people to play local with bad ping or a modded lobby, and if the hosts team doesn’t win the server closes

[@tylercaroppoli3324]

Agreed even if you join the game you always get kicked for no reason like it’s very stupid and great videos keep up with the great work as always 💖💖💖💖and also i have seen a lobby where it’s just 2 people for no reason and always kick me or people who join there team for no reason it’s so annoying

I hate when people act like “ragequitting” isn’t a valid part of the game. You can very clearly tell when it’s a match that you’re getting/going to get stomped on based on how your teammates act/the score. If the score is an 800pt difference and your team doesn’t know how to act and spend extra time looting it’s so valid to quit that game and find another one

I remember two of my teammates were oh so desperately trying to vote kick another one of our teammates. Idk why, the teammate wasn't doing anything wrong. But they kept spamming to kick that teammate over and over again, they legitimately probably initiated vote kick like 20 times, and I voted no every single time BC the teammate wasn't doing anything wrong, and least from what I could tell. Two checkmarks and two X's every single time. Well I guess they figured out I wasn't going to budge, so they initiated a vote kick on me. And the idiot I WAS DEFENDING voted to kick me as well, 3 checks against one X. I'm assuming they kicked him the second I was booted. Idiot deserved it at that point

I can understand the teamwork aspect of the game and not wanting to cary new players but any game new and old is going to have “noobs” and if I have to be real, people should be thankful they are still getting new players if servers are still be DDosed. I will still be fair and say if players want to be very competitive with versus and have competitive they could try making their own competitive servers and hosts some events while understanding that casual versus (the Versus option from the main menu) is NOT going to have the same player base as let’s say a professionally crafted competitive server. I’m sure you and I can both agree that like us over here at Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead 2 may be reliant on new players to keep the game “alive” in VALVES eyes and driving new players away by kicking them for braking unspoken rules may not be a good idea right now.

Disclaimer: A LOT of text and a experience so surreal that I can't even believe it happened, so, yeah The "this guy is r*cist, i've played with him, can we kick him?" happened to me, but not because of that, because i'm not a mega carry that destroys the other team, just a regular player who knows the mechanics and how to play, not a professional. Well, one time I joined a No Mercy game, and a few minutes later, this guy joins, i'll call him "R" for r*tarded. It was a random lobby, we were tied with the other team, even when we miss 1 player, so he joins and guess what, everything went downhill the moment he joined, I was in 3rd place in terms of points, and who knows why, he started a vote kick against me, saying that the game isn't going well because of me, and everyone voted yes without asking why. I was like, ok, sure and stopped playing that day because I was having fun and got kicked for no reason. A few days later, I joined another No Mercy game, and oh my, R joins the game too, and instantaniously starts a vote kick against me, saying that i'm trash and deserves to be kicked, and everyone voted yes again. I was speechless but didn't care about it too much, so I joined a different map, and a few rounds later, he joins AGAIN and for my bad luck, in my team, so he started a vote kick again with the same pasted message from last game, and got kicked again. I was getting salty already, and I tried with a map that isn't so popular, like The Sacrifice, and you guessed it, he joins at the end of the match and the cycle repited. I was surprised on how this guy managed to join my game every single time, so I told this to my friends all this and said that half of the players (here in LATAM) know that guy and what he does (he gets blocked and reported but Valve doesn't do anything, and even with so many blocks he has, he managed to join my games), when he always sees a "bad/regular player", he starts harr*ssing him/her just to make the player leave the game, but he does it with the ones who have an easy name to remember and a few hundred hours in the game, random people with 1-10 hours doesn't peek his interest, so I got targeted by this dude. So I asked them if we can test something, so they unblocked him and we started a vs lobby, me with my friends obviously, and i'm sorry for the people who joined our team, but we were kicking them to see if R is 24/7 looking at my profile, and sure he was, because in the second chapter of No Mercy, he joined and tried to kick me but it got denied by my friends, he tried again asking why the rejected the vote, that I deserved to be kicked (we were survivors this round, and man, even the infected team stopped attacking to see what was going on lmao), and after a few insults towards me and my friends, he started to FF me to kill me, and the moment he did that, all 4 infecteds targeted him, it was glorious. The problem is, that no one knows who R is, that was an alt account so nobody can find who he really is, but I did the same as everyone did, block and report, and that is the end of the story, thanks for reading.

Ive played with that Doctatofen_115 guy on realism vs before, he switches teams so he doesnt lose and if you dont baby him or you trash talk him he will rage kick you and if it doesnt pass he griefs and leaves

[@DxKsss]

Left 4 dead 2 players logic: Playing better than them = Kicked By Console. Winning = Leaving to shutdown the server. Having fun = Teammates shit talking the whole game. Afk for 0.1 sec = Kick. Not saving your teammates in a 1v4 situation = Kick + block.

[@Timmy_2061]

I feel like coach did that first one on accident because noskillch jumped on dead air and fell to his death on accident

[@supermito573]

He jumped XD

[@DobbsterLobbster]

He jumped because he thought the round was pretty much over at that point. Granted he probably had time to save him but more than likely no if it was a four man team on each side

[@jvkirbyfan1]

At this point you NEED a group of friends to play with and agree before each match if ya want to play seriously to win or mess around and have fun just to be able to play versus. (Which is something I don't have unfortunately)

[@Jason-mh1pl]

I used to be a jokester like you, until i found out i have none either

[@biggulpshinobi]

I'm actually thankful my friend group can often fill a 4v4. Playing with randoms is the most brain melting experience in any videogame!

Vote to kick is the most toxic shit ever. Players don’t deserve that kind of control

[@BrandonFlint-ro2ns]

This is why games nowadays don't have kicking. It's abused too much

[@IanMacDonald-x1d]

why is it always valve players that whenever someone hears " x is a racist" they ask no questions and immediately kick vote

[@ArbyFoxxo]

Server stability is maybe worse than before But player toxicity is pretty much the same I remember one time when I played, back in what... 2014 maybe, something like that I got to spawn as a hunter, I hit a very big damage pounce, people got hyped. Then next time I spawned as a hunter, I missed the pounce and people called me a fa**ot in the chat, told me to uninstall the game, then just kicked me IMMEDIATELY lmao. I vividly remember that moment because it really left me questioning L4D2 playerbase. ANd that was 10 years ago haha

[@TheMultiRaude]

l4d versus in 2024 is a closest thing to purgatory we'll ever get on earth

[@ThEXperiment626]

I was just about to make a video about this as well because it’s almost as bad on the Xbox where people start to lose and spam restart chapter it’s so annoying

[@malrulk3736]

Feels like in most servers if you aren't in the top 10 speed runners and play absolutely perfectly on both sides your just Thanos snapped

[@gamerpro2873]

Im surprised how this game is not dead yet people get mad or toxic for being on the losing team like you can still win if you try or they just leave, some people vote kick for doing nothing??

[@mhz163]

I know and it's fucking bad to play like that.

[@Himzeyy]

Thank you very much bro, I appreciate it

[@neonkapawn]

That's why I never touch versus unless I have few friends with me to prevent vote kicks lol it literally is unplayable.

[@hybrid9791]

You know its bad when the host has to lag switch to make it a fair fight

Haven’t played since 2015. Doesn’t seem that I am missing much.

[@officialnicholas2164]

I don't play on public servers, I only play on the freiheit and aurora servers. The normality of these servers is that they ban cheaters, ban ruins, there is no ddos, etc. cool video, dude ^^

[@Uncle-Ninja]

lately I haven't been lagging all day

[@unforgivingboy1]

it was unplayable when it first came out too.. all of these events you showed happened 10x more. especially getting kicked by random people with mic's for no reason. made them feel good. oh dont forget the restart vote on finale always a classic.

[@Thanatos6000]

versus became versus your teammates, rather than the other team

[@SHDW-nf2ki]

I love how the last stand update was massively catered towards Versus sweats and Versus is easily the most toxic game mode ever designed

[@Uthleber]

i played on the Error Servers. They asked me, to make space for another dude. I asked why and they told me "he is our friend and we wanted to play together" than they discussed about kicking me. I got kicked during the gaming for something and now i am banned.

[@thehalfrican1386]

The one that gets me is how frequintly people leave despite the game being near tie or not far behind. Or just outright leaving five seconds into the first chapter. Cheaters no longer phase me, if its entertaining enough ill stick around to watch the absurdity, bur usualy just leave.

[@Himzeyy]

Yeah I tried playing after I edited this video and the other team left over a 2 point lead

[@x-_arthurmorgan-_x5528]

Those people don't play for fun, they play only to win. It's honestly quite sad to see. I couldn't care less about the score, all that matters to me is whether or not I'm having a good time. Video games are a form of entertainment after all. It seems like people forget that they are playing a game, and start treating it like it's a chore.

[@RedFretFulXavier]

This is the main reason why I don't play versus there's no point playing this game mode. I might as well play with the bots instead of actual players

[@WhosValshmere]

6:56 yooo OldFishPool is the dude who made that hunter animation about him findin the gmod tool gun

[@nova86386]

versus is a get kicked simulator less then 100 hours in the game-kick no Russian-kick(at least for me sometimes) too good of a infected player-kick(not for me but i saw some hunter doing dumb shit like himzey at 1:35 and the dude on my team got a 25 dmg pounce and after that his victim called a vote to kick him,ive seen this a lot even after a boomer boomed all survivors the boomer got kicked like wtf) too good of a survivor player-kick(i bhoped on the second map dead center and got kicked,i shoved a jockey and then a hunter 10 seconds after and got kicked,i hope i have bad luck and not every lobby is like this) too bad of a infected player-kick too bad of a survivor player-kick final thoughts : i love l4d2 versus 10/10 would lie again

[@VenomousVortexProductions]

Vote kicking, lag and teamkilling have got to be the most annoying problems with Versus I faced. Once, the charger's hitbox glitched and I missed the survivor despite being so close to them, and guess what? That was an instant kick

[@m4npure]

I was about to do a insta kill on dead center while being a Charger but for some reason it stopped because I ran into a iron prop :D

[@doctatofen2.089]

I got vote kicked for saving my charger for an instakill😂

[@WiheScarsOfKhan]

The classic Valve crowd, when I say Valve crowd, I mean the CS, TF2, L4D2 crowd, they always cry.

[@runawaycat4594]

Me: *Playing as infected* Survivors: *Griefing each other in the saferoom* Me: "X'D"

[@aboreddudebrowsingyt]

One thing I found hilarious is that a lot of these people who vote kick you for the smallest of mistakes often make the same mistakes themselves, but of course it's not a problem when they do it

[@liltwistedgamer]

Sometimes when I’m guaranteed to get kick. I quickly leave the game. Change my name rejoin again and start trolling, by team killing, jumping off high places, and wasting items as survivor. As infected can’t really do much besides getting myself killed on purpose or not spawn. If I get tank though I kill my infected teammates. Instead of the survivors then jump off a cliff or go in the opposite direction of the survivors. This may make me sound worse than the vote kickers. I only do this if they kicked me for no reason. As shown in the video, and only mess with the team that kicked me.

[@benstein7506]

i think when you got kicked and accused for being a troll and a racist, they were actually trying to kick that HS shot guy. I've played with him before and he is both of those things. I may or may not have trolled him back myself XD

[@Smarttvremote]

one time everyone on the infected's team was targetting me (i know that because they were attacking just me) so i got downed, and then i got votekicked out. like what?

[@TeamFortress2SGR]

I think your best bet at getting a good L4D2 experience in 2024, is to just sit idle in the menus, listening to the various tracks playing in the background😅.

[@HaotoAnimeOnPiano]

There are servers dedicated to just bot versus here in Asia. I've never been able to play versus outside of those servers. My first actual experience was just the survivors camping outside the safehouse for over 20 minutes.

[@luketheatrociraptorboi4945]

0:39 and the people who “troll” like that turn out to be racist themselves. Lol.

[@MusicIssues]

Tried console left4dead2 2 days ago and my first match was toxic out the ass with a guy on the other team giving me a 2ez message after getting to the saferoom like i cared and was just trying to play for fun but bro insisted on continuing to be toxic to me for no reason, some people are just sad individuals

[@MalwinYT]

What about tons of modded servers which are unplayable because of perks, weapon chooses etc.? It's getting too hard to find simple vanilla versus

[@Himzeyy]

My solution to that is to set my search filter to only lobbies or to host my own game

[@MalwinYT]

@@Himzeyy Hope once I could play with ya

Yea it ruined the game with the modded bs. I wont play it, not even the same game at that point

[@TheFloodFourm]

I was expecting a detailed explanation but it turns out all I needed was a crowbcat style compilation

[@OmaSwag]

A sollution for the DDOS is to host dedicated servers/steam group servers, which doesn't have complicated setup that steam sale players can't figure out and isn't modded), as for the community I would recommend just adding regular versus players you come across whether they're toxic or not since the versus playerbase is so small nowadays so you'll have people to join off/or they join off you which in my experience is pretty consistent

[@VetriVade]

My favorite is when someone joins your game, immediately votes to kick you, and then youre kicked Happens alot but with 12k average players i still find good matches

[@DraganArsenovic1989]

LOL that happen so many times to me, i always think why??? Start a new Lobby when you want play with a friend..............i dont no what is the point of this behavior.

[@scpnoobers]

Modded lobbies, DDoS attacks, rage quitting players and the occasional good lobby

[@LemarSullivan821]

if there were ever a rage quitting competition, L4D2 players would be uncontested this 9 minute video perfectly sums up l4d2 in a nutshell

[@rolf_dk]

4:15 The timing of you joining in too see them selling, is the most funniest shit i've ever seen.

[@VanillaVictini]

Rampant votekicking?? Thats not changed one bit. It's actually what made me never want to solo queue in any game ever again, ever, because I kept getting kicked and it really rubbed me the wrong way

[@NSGhostbusters]

The gatekeeping, shit community, and constant kicking are the reasons why I stay the hell away from versus games. I have 94/101 achievements and over 1.3k hours, and I simply can't be bothered to get the versus and scavenge ones.

[@NovaProspekt19]

Jeez i thought tf2 was bad..

[@Flavorton9240]

One of the main reasons I stopped playing L4D2. I loved playing versus but the amount of times people would leave just because of a small mistake is insane. A missed charge, failed push, and a non charger infected spawn shouldn't be enough to leave but some people do. Hell I've had people leave/kick because someone was using "The wrong gun". It's a game with absolutely zero consequences for losing a match. At some point I even opted to play B4B because at least if someone joined your game, the most of your worries would be general incompetence. L4D will always be better than B4B but some of the members of the community make the games more of a preference pick than a one sided argument.

[@silenceisred1552]

I love how people say oh vs players will kick you for the smallest mistake when that hasnt been true since launch. 9/10 times you did nothing wrong. Youre just unlucky that most vs players are actually in a constant state of psychosis and dementia, no better than the rage filled zombies in game. A butterfly flaps its wings in brazil and 30 people get kicked at once, crashing 12 different servers. God bless this mess.

[@x-_arthurmorgan-_x5528]

No matter how good you are, you will inevitably get vote kicked out of a lobby at some point. Everyone is constantly on edge, and if you make even the smallest mistake, these brain rotted competitive players will take that as a personal attack. The only way for you to not get kicked is if you are literally a mind reader and can see their thoughts. Communication is key, but these types of players kick first and ask questions never.
