So I think I've mentioned that a friend of mine gave me Left 4 Dead 2 over the holidays, so I've racked up some experience playing since then. Tonight I was playing with two real life friends of mine in the Hard Rain campaign, and right at the end you have to run to the boat while a horde of zombies comes at you.
So I was running when one of the other guys gets knocked down, and in the game if you get knocked down another player has to help you up. My other friend is already knocked down, but was on the boat, so he counted as safe, but couldn't get up either. So I could either ditch the guy still on the ground, run to the boat and save my own ass or turn around and get him. I decided to turn around. Two seconds after I make this decision a Tank (i.e. the strongest damn enemy in the game) comes the hell out of nowhere and punches me almost clear off the map. I'm then knocked down and we have no one left to revive us, so we all lost and had to start the last stage again.
We were all laughing our asses off about this because the fact that I chose to be nice and not abandon my buddy got us all killed. In this case choosing to be the selfish bitch would have been the better decision. We replayed it and won this time, and this time left the one AI controlled player behind, having learned our lesson.
Talk about a family unfriendly lesson!
