Left 4 Dead Megathread

[QUOTE=J4censolo;30664153]I'm not exactly fond of Rochelle but it's people like you that are adding fuel to the fire. I'm guessing you're one of the people who would down a teammate for " playing that stupid character " too[/QUOTE]

It's just a joke thing me and my friend do when playing alone. We don't kill people for playing as Rochelle, and I'd appreciate you didn't immediately classify me into that category of player just because we jokingly dislike a character.

Emo Zoey needs more black.

After he got knocked unconscious and left for dead at that bridge, he woke up and immediately prepared to catch up to his friends at their island paradise.

[B]Teen Angst / Emo Zoey[/B]
I never went crazy for the original Zoey like everyone else did. Her original look seems bland compared to the other survivors. On seeing her my brain reads "insert girl-character here". I wanted Zoey's look to have more attitude, like her friends the [I]Namvet[/I], [I]Biker[/I], and [I]Manager[/I].

I've also made replacements for Rochelle and Ellis, they're slightly older models, but more ambitious and 100%-from-scratch character concepts:

That Emo Zoey looks very unfitting in L4D's atmosphere.

[The Combine]

I really like that Bill, nice job on that.

[radu_iceman]

Great job on the Bill and Emo Zoey. Really nice!

According to l4ddev Cold Stream was suppose to be released today, but due to the content servers still being under stress, was pushed to Monday.
[quote]We are going to let the content servers calm down today and we will be releasing the Cold Stream update early Monday morning.[/quote]
[quote]@l4ddev When should we be able to play on Dead Air ?
@IHateMountains We are trying to work out our ship date this week. It is really dependent on when cold stream will be ready.[/quote]

This would've been the first time in the history of Valve that they released two major, unconnected updates for two of their leading franchises at the same time :V.

Well, it's just a port.
It's not like Dead Air 2: The Luggage Recheckening.

Well i'm talking about having the spitter available. Will make the finale tolerable for infected.

I hate seeing the L4D maps ported to L4D2. People who think that just porting them and they'll work perfectly are stupid. What people never seem to realize is that the L4D maps were specifically designed with L4D's special infected in mind, not L4D2's special infected.

That's why Valve is retooling them though. Like Blood Harvest's ending and the train station, to prevent those areas from being dead hard and dead easy (respectfully).
I think they also want to try moving the L4D1 maps to get a feel for how the community responds to it and plays to it. Maybe we'll see more L4D1-survivor DLC in the future, or a move to campaigns which are much more claustrophobic like L4D1.

Anyway, I personally found No Mercy really fun in L4D2 but also not anything special compared to L4D1. The new SI mix things up a bit and make the ending finale harder, but L4D isn't really a hard game in the first place :colbert:.

Does anyone know if they're changing the Dear Air finale to a scavenger-type finale? I think that would be more enjoyable and a bit more fitting since it involves refueling a vehicle.

[The Combine]

No please no not again.

Am I the only one that hates those Scavenge Finales?

[Reimu]

The scavenger finales are ok but they're not nearly as good as the gamemode. If they're done right they're a lot of fun, but when cans are too far apart (Dead Center, The Parish, The Sacrifice) it's just annoying, frustrating, and not a lot of fun.

[mastermaul]

Do people still play L4D1? It's the only one I own for some asstastic reason.

[Reimu]

Yeah, you can still find games going on the original.

I personally hate Scavenge Finales too, I just thought it would be an interesting idea.

I don't think they should.
In my opinion, they aren't really the most fun things and we already got them for Dead Center and The Passing plus countless community maps.

But the real reason would be that it's a stupid idea in real life to fill tiny gas cans with jet fuel if you need so much. I mean, it's jet fuel. You'd need like 100 gas cans to fill up the C-130J.
So I don't think they will.
[b]However, if they port Crash Course, you may have to fill up THAT generator to do it :).[/b]

[Reimu]

If done right a Dead Air scavenger hunt finale would be cool.
I would like to see a scavenger finale, though, where the cans are easily accessible but you have to wait a period of time to fill the canister. The holdout for that sort of finale would be a lot more fun.

l4ddev verified tonight actually that only the beta of Cold Stream is coming tomorrow, not the L4D1 campaigns :C.
BUT, they will announce the release date of the whole DLC "in a little bit."

Which will mean almost nothing, considering Valve's release dates are just extremely rough estimates.

[Reimu]

True but at least we'll have something written down to think about and Valve to work to, instead of shooting in the dark.

[Shoe Phone]

Oh that's right, big update for L4D in a few hours. On the topic of scavenge finales, I used to hate them because I didn't know how to throw the cans. I would see my teammates throwing them off the edge and rage because pressing the use key only lays it at your feet.

[Smartlord]

One time while playing Dead Center me and some others wanted to save time so we split up and all went to get cans and then threw them into a big pile so we could just stroll back to the pile to get another can when we were putting in the fuel.

Big mistake.

A Spitter came and set them all on fire and we were all raging.

[A B.A. Survivor]

Scavenger is not a fun gamemode.
Original, not fun.
