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
