I love left 4 dead, and I play all of its modes every day. However, whenever me and my friends play versus we always beat the crap out of the other team immediately. It's almost impossible to play a full game of versus since we kick their asses so bad they quit before the third chapter. This is especially stupid since it's more than possible for the losing team to win if they just play very well at the end. I was thinking some sort of experience system that would subtract experience for quitting early like Halo, or other elements could help deter people from quitting out like that . What do you guys think?

Until they integrate something like that, just don't try so hard so the other team doesn't quit. :)

I really doubt they'd ever integrate something like that because L4D is more of a pick up and play game with friends than it is a super competitive game. I too have the same problem, me and my 3 buddies have been playing since the first day L4D came out and we can only lose if we do it on purpose. There are alot of fun things you can do though to kinda give the other team a fighting chance. Try death racing, when it's your turn as survivors everyone run through the level without helping eachother.. everyone for themselves. First one to the safe house or the person who gets the furthest or last one to die wins. It's actually pretty intense and usually pretty funny too. Try only using pistols or only using hunting rifles while playing as the survivors is another fun one. When you're infected play only using melee I.E. hunter isnt allowed to jump, smoker cant use the tongue, boomer cant puke, tank can only throw rocks. It's funny when you kill all the survivors with only melee attacks and it's quite challenging and absolutely evens up the odds a little bit. There are alot of little fun ways to even up the score a little bit if you and your friends keep kicking peoples butts so bad they quit.

Why don't you do the campaigns on expert, those are harder then picking on newbies.

I wish they had an experience system.... I also wished that they had stat tracking.

Same, would add a little bit more meaning to the game then to just kill endless zombies over and over again. Once you have all the achievements I guess it becomes pretty dull. I haven't reached that point yet but hopefully when I do it will still be some what fun :P

I do play the campaigns on expert.

And as for not trying so hard so they don't all quit, thats just bull **** I'm always going to play to the best of my ability even if it results in them quitting out.

Good idea. I rarely play versus because I always get to play with the morons. At least on CoD4 I can get 300 - 350 pts on team deathmatch which the 5 other idiots can usually meet me halfway but on Left 4 Dead you need your team

Wouldnt mind a balancing team system. Go into a game 4 on 4. My team starts losing, 2 people drop. How about taking one person from the other team to make it 3 on 3? Also for us newbis to versus, wouldnt mind a practice system to allow a team of specials to go against an AI human team to learn.

me and 2 of my friends have a similar problem, but we always find funny stuff to preoccupy us like all killing a certain guy, everysingle time, (its normally louis or zoey). and after playing like 1000 versus matches we don't really care about losing either, so sometimes we just let them win while we're killing eachother, or playing pop the boomer, hit the smoker off roofs, etc.
