    It's extremely disappointing to me how Left 4 Dead was supposed to be a horror-survival game, when the only scare is that rare situation where you're running like all hell from a Tank or a Witch.

    The rest of the game isn't scary at all. Hell, it's too funny at times, with the lines that the survivors say.

    I dunno, being the last one alive and hearing Hunters and Smokes and shit everywhere is pretty nerve wracking.

    For whatever reason, I got two scary as shit moments in the same game.
    Playing No Mercy, ended up turning a corner    right into a fucking Tank.   
    No music, no sounds, NOTHING.
    Just, BOOP, THERE HE IS.

    Later on, running through the sewers, I go into one of those tunnels.
    Turn the corner    running head-on into a Spitter.   
    Close up, out of nowhere, in the dark.
       THAT HALF A FACE.

    If it won't hurt Valve, would it be a good idea to ask Valve for the L4D1 Beta from 2007? Because, it's not like they care about the Beta anymore. I also think some of the lines could be re-used and be in custom videos

    HeardHulk, Uncertain, reactionapprehensive and even the Church Guy when he for example blames the Survivors for biting him

    If I recall correctly, someone sent an email to Chet asking for the beta. His reply was that it doesn't exist anymore because they build on top of existing builds rather then keep alternate versions for legacy purposes.

    I can't turn up the actual email at the moment, but that's what I've heard.

    I know how L4D has a cinematic feel, but it always felt like less of a "good" horror film and more of an action film masquerading as a horror film, the kind Hollywood loves pumping out these days whenever zombies are involved. Nothing really scary, just blowing up zombies with your buds.

    I hear it was designed to play like a zombie b-movie.

    You may ask me why there isn't a rematch vote in versus survival. I would answer with "I would like to know why as well."

    Oh, bullshot. That means the removed lines such as HeardHulk, Zoey's "selfusehealth" dialogue when alone or Bill's lines (which were meant to be re-used for Crash Course, but were not) are.. all gone. Even the "SawSomething" which were also used in the early version of the L4D Intro!

    Also, I personally think Valve should have kept the narrator lines in case you wanted to hear the Survivors' comments on the campaign by clicking on their storybook or their speech bubble. Also, if The Sacrifice has Francis saying the plane crashed, why didn't they keep the worldfarmhouseintro02.wav in the final?

    Just for curiosity sake, where are these lines located?

    I know Valve has a habit of leaving old things behind - like for instance, the old shotgun shell counter and the ammo pack texture. They also reused a lot of old assets from L4D1 when making L4D2 which they got rid of in the final product (the icon sheets, L4D1 music etc) so Chet's explanation is probably not far from the truth.

    They're normally in "sound/player/survivor/voice/$survivor" (Replace $survivor with the Survivor's global actor name)

    The sounds used by the soundscripts in the original Survivors' game_sounds_$survivor.txt should have been kept, I can't understand Valve made Francis sound like he's saying "No" when he gets incapped!

    not COSMETIC, but it's probably my favorite mod EVER:

    I've also been considering trying out that one that replaces the Tank with Venom from Spider-Man, the model looks damn nice.

    Custom radial menus are the best but they only work in dedicated servers as they are packed as an addon and Valve servers disable addons.

    So, l4d2 is crashing at the loading screen on start up, and it has never done this before, the game was working fine before

    I even set noborder, windowed, and novid and it still crashes, what the fuck over?

    So now I am reinstalling the game

    What my L4D2 looks like after particle mods were supported in vpk's.

    The Boomer is a walking bag of confetti and balloons (and a cake)
    The Charger is a walking pack of fireworks
    The Smoker has magically turned itself into a Christmas tree
    The Spitter has taken an overdose of Menthos:

    The Tank spews confetti and balloons after punching something in the worst anger ever possible
    And other shit I can't even mention because it's already so much I've edited.


    It's Giygas.

    tl;dr
    I made a party-themed particle mod

    IIRC the timer would have started automatically upon reaching zero of preparation time.

    More Isis comics. Same as always though.

    Anyway, I found a decent Rochelle mod (because I hate her Depeche Mode shirt): http://www.l4dmaps.com/details.php?file=16272

    Why are people disagreeing and dumbing me on it? Those aren't the current outfits, those are the outfits shown during E3, thus not matching the game. Is there something I don't know? If so, tell me.

    I do not see any discrepancies in need of fixing in that artwork. That's how I've always seen Coach for years.

    Maybe it's your Coach that needs to be fixed!
