This is a great article from destructoid.com regarding strategies to piss people off while playing Left 4 Dead. Seems to be console-centric, but maybe some of them can be used on the PC version, too. Anyway, I thought it was pretty funny and interesting. Game started to get a bit stale, I might have to give some of these a try and breathe some life back into it!

I've done the teabagging before... But that teammate was a dick, so it was okay.

We need Shawn Elliott to get on this. Those griefing tactics seem a little weak.

Well, I got online to try some of these. Turns out everybody is already doing all these, and many more. The game (at least the 360 version) has officially gone downhill, nearly unplayable for all the exploits I saw players demonstrate tonight. I won't be playing it anymore.

Goddamnit, another wasted 60 dollars.

That's why you buy Valve games on PC. They patch them like crazy, the playerbase isn't a bunch of whining 13 year olds, and the community at large is far more receptive. Take TF2, for instance. You play it on 360 or PS3 and there's maybe a dozen or so servers. On PC, there's upwards of 1000. You don't even need a killer gaming rig to play Valve games.

I suppose you could be right. Which makes me kinda nervous-- I was thinking of picking up The Orange Box for 360 (my PC isn't equipped for gaming at all).

Orange Box is great, go for it.
