Left 4 Dead's Survival Mode Sounds Hardcore

[Onyx Oblivion]

If the pistol still has infinite ammo, I'll be just fine because I'll have it for backup.

*loads pistol*

I don't even need dual pistols...

*gets face eaten by Witch*

Maybe I was wrong...

I don't know. I don't keep up on information about DLC for a game I rarely play.

Always wanted a survival-type mode in L4D. This will be awesome for sure.

Though will console owners get it at the same time as PC owners?

 

[Corven]

Did anyone happen to say how much memory this thing will take up for the 360? If it's more than 55 MB, and I bet it is too, then I won't be able to get it for a while. *sad face*

 

[MasterStratus]

Damn, I'm out on a trip next week. Oh well, I can wait until the week after. Hopefully.

 

[TsunamiWombat]

The SDK is totally the thing to wait for. ANY valve map is immediatly compatible with L4D, too, you just have to add saferooms and invisible ladders for infected.

L4D: Goldrush anyone?

NOW IS INFECTED KEELING TIME!

 

[throwitinthetrash]

I don't really like the idea of a game type where there's no way I could actually win. :<
It does sound like it'll further enforce the super-importance of teamwork that L4D does so well.

 

[AnGeL.SLayer]

um....theres a bunch of custom maps already for this type of thing. Though it NEVER ends, you just keep going and going and going....an ending would be nice though...so nice.


^_^

Looking forward to this, only got L4D recently for a lan, but had oodles of fun.

For the PC gamers amoungst you, check out some of the mods for L4D, theres one that makes all the zombies normal (no special) and walk really slowly in the classic fasion. However, they can only die from headshots. Also, they keep spawning (up to a cap you set on game setup, so if your machine can handle it, you can put it on a few hundred!

Also came across a mod that is sort of survival mode, where you break up furniture for wood, and use it to repair doors and put planks over windows in a house in the middle of a field with constant spawning zombies!

 

[DrScoobs]

sounds kinda cool... i can just imagine it now...
me: Liam! shoot the t*** who tearing my f****** chest off!
liam: i f****** cant. ive got fifty f****** zombies on me!
me: f***!

 

[runedeadthA]

This sounds absolutely awesome. Especially since one of the graphs indicated that after 14 minutes, Tank will spawn Continuously... w00t

 

[MercurySteam]

Ouch, prepare for alot of over-the-mike-swearing.

Actually...I found out today after I lurked on the L4D developer blog and...

SDK WONT BE RELEASED ON THE SAME DAY OF THE DLC!! *Cry*

They say it will be shortly released after this DLC along side with a new patch that is suppose to change the server browsing for PC users so we can see the user made maps when we want to play online.

Also theres already tons!! Of user made campaigns/single maps just waiting for the SDK with the right tools(Like the AI director, textures and stuff like that.) Theres RE3(think) campaign that is looking awesome. Also a LotR Moria map too and a the Winchester remake map too. It will be awesome! Or really bad!

Aww. Well I hope it comes out quickly. As for user-made content, it all tends to be either good or bad. I don't think I've ever seen average UMC for anything.

 

[Angron]

i cant wait for this, brings life back into the game thats just about dying off for me.

i for one like the idea of it not having an end (well it will when your dead) i would hate to put that much effort into surviving and then they say well done, ur the same as all these people that did it, it gives u a time to aim for

altho im dreading the idea of constant tank spawns :S

They arent mods, they are just custom maps.

 

[Taerdin]

I only have about three friends I play with...

If any Escapists want a good player to invite along for survival feel free to add me. My steam name is Taerdin

I've played L4D and I'm rather good at it. But me using the tank is rather hit or miss, so usually if my teams about to get it I'll be the one chanting 'please dont make me tank... please please not me!' because I HATE letting my team down.

I'm very excited about survival mode, I just want to have people to play it with

Well, the breaking up furnature and building things iwth them isnt in the normal game... so thats a mod And as far as I'm aware the classic zombies is applied to the normal campaigns, thus another mod rather then a map

Though they have been loads of maps out too. I only got the game last week but overdosed on it at a LAN over the bank holiday.

 

[Quick Ben]

I am so looking forward to this...

I've always, always enjoyed the finales of all the L4D maps the most. Having a dedicated survival mode will be great, especially if there are new achievements and unlocks, and a way to track the best of the best.

I have a few people I play with, and we're all looking forward to surviving as long as we can.
