left 4 dead

We can fix that with data

l4dachievements.jpgTerminally obsessed with player statistics -- and with good reason, it being one of the top contributors to making their games as balanced and smart as they are -- Valve have published current total Achievement percentages for the first week of Left 4 Dead sessions.

What do they show? That Smokers really aren't all that bad, apparently, that it really is sort of every-Survivor-for-themselves, with only some 15 percent doing the majority of healing and pill giving (though we're happy to see that 25 percent that have healed others when they've been on the outs themselves), and that it's really quite hard to stay away from that Boomer vomit.

this is just through steam right? I wonder how much 360 stats differ.

I'd love to get the healing and pill giving achievements. I just can't figure out how to heel people. Maybe other people have the same problem. Or maybe I'm just dumb. idk.

Sharing is caring.... and when it comes to pills, spread that nerve numbing joy around.

Anonymous: Right click (or whatever key you have bound to melee attack). You have to be close to another survivor and facing them, and they can't already have someone else healing them (or be carrying pills if you're trying to give pills).
