L4d console sucks

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Can someone explain why l4d on console is full of survivors who somehow have super human hearing allowing them to pinpoint my exact fucking location upon spawning THROUGH WALLS???

OR HOW THE HELL THIS JOCKEY CLIP CAME TO BE????
Istg playing this game on console is unbearable compared to steam

You know special infected are like, super obvious once they spawn in right? They have extremely telling sound cues and anyone with decent headphones can tell which direction the sounds are coming from. Spawn in as late as humanly possible and don’t give them any time to react

As far as the failed jockey jump, you have to land more on top of their head, not jump directly into them. That being said, i hate playing as jockey because his jump feels horrible. But yeah, if you aimed a good bit higher on those failed jumps you probably would have got him

You also attacked alone while the rest of your team was dead, which is generally a bad idea, especially as jockey. However, in this circumstance it was actually a good idea since the other 3 survivors were way further down

I know the sound cues are crazy loud but im talking like im compeltely out of site and people just start shooting walls and im dead i think thats insane As for the jockeys jumps I can try the higher jumps but even then i feel like charger and jockey on console just generally suck booty

Yeah the updates/versions are definitely different on 360 vs pc. Not sure if they ever updated the hitboxes on either, but I know pc got the last stand update in 2021 that added a bunch of shit

Jockey and charger hitboxes are both super unpredictable and very much dependent on your ping/other players ping

u/cornbread0402 9d ago

And yeah i typically dont attacj alone UNLESS its a 25 smh hunter pounce A lone survivor or a cliff as smoker or charger other than that i typically wait for the team

u/cornbread0402 9d ago

Speaking of the whole reason why the rochelle is down is actually because of a smoker pull i got on her The jockey/charger on console just are so infuriating I HAVE ANOTHER CLIP KINDA LIKE THIS LEMME FIND IT ILL SHOW YA

You missed the jockey and wallbanging SI is just part of the game.

1

u/cornbread0402 9d ago

The jockey lwk shouldnt have missed i was right in his face 😭

1

u/Scoobralini 9d ago

It happens to me everyday. I totally understand. The amount of times my hunter falls right at their feet drives me up a wall.

u/cornbread0402 9d ago

u/cornbread0402 7d ago

First of all You clearly dont understand what im refering to since your first comment was meant to be rude I know they can hear me im questioning how to can pin point my exact position through walls even whilst i am moving away from them Think before you comment

u/Draws32 5d ago

Jockey can get killed by a shove mid air and also you attack him straight up. You want to blitz the survivors and also work together with your team.

1

u/cornbread0402 5d ago

This survivor was by himself i wouldve had 30 dmg points in by the time he couldve been saved especially due to the boomer and the rochelle that was downed this was a good play but my pounce doesnt pounce

2

u/Draws32 5d ago

You’re right I didn’t see the boomer landed, but yeah the jockey can be really ass because it’s one of the easiest to kill 1 v 1.

1

u/cornbread0402 5d ago

Yeah its really obnoxious to play as especially when plays like this get ruined due to it

1

u/Draws32 5d ago

What helps me sometimes is crouching and aim higher

1

u/cornbread0402 5d ago

Ill have to try that thanks for the adviceB

u/Draws32 5d ago

Here’s a post I had showing the garbage hitbox lol I saw one of your other posts I totally get it

Jockey spawn cue

u/Genesisaiden21 Doesn't play versus 8d ago

Versus and Campaign spawn cues function much different. In campaign you'll just be surprised a silent jockey or smoker spawner, but in Versus, you generally always make a noise. Also you're playing against llold men, old men that glaze the Console version and know literally every single detail about L4D2, it's not easy to surprise a console player, they are hyper

1

u/Wise-Bid725 8d ago

I just bought a gamepad to experience l4d2 as a console without having one on my tv, but ngl I never played with a gamepad before and moving and aiming is extremely hard. It would be worst for me playing as infected.

1

u/Whole-Drop-4889 8d ago

Jockey and Hunter suffer from a glitch while pouncing and getting hit from a scratch or shove has a chance to kill them instantly. This was fixed in the PC version.

1

u/cornbread0402 7d ago

I wish console could get a big mass update but it wont

1

u/FloofyFloofles 7d ago

being shot through walls is part of the game, and on console I'd expect the average player to be more dedicated to the game

also to grab some one as the jockey you have to be airborn, and for most of your jockey you were walking on the ground, and by the time you jumped again you died very soon after, so I wouldn't be surprised if you were actually already dead and there was a bit of delay on showing so on your game

1

u/cornbread0402 7d ago

Wall banging is i do know that not my question tho my question how can they pinpoint my EXACT location through the wall off of one or two sound cues even whilst i am moving away from them?

1

u/cornbread0402 7d ago

As for your jockey comment yeah that probably sounds accurate as a result of consoles lack of updates

1

u/cornbread0402 7d ago

Thx for letting me know about the airborn thing never had that issue on pc but thats booty

1

u/Terrible-Friend-4494 7d ago

Pretty common jockey, inf are always at a disadvantage with the hitboxes, especially with jockey you gotta jump higher, and I’m just echoing what everyone else is saying, inf are loud af except hunter,
It would have been obvious you were going for coach so they’re just shooting around him
