Dont worry a few more nights with us and you'll be 1337 pro

Since I took over a friends steam acc to play L4D, I wish I could reset the server saved achievements. Too bad I can't.

[Quirinus]

Does anyone know if there's a map or mod that allows single-player versus? As in, playing the infected. It would be nice to be able to try out some infected tactics and multi-player doesn't really allow that...

[Veho Nex]

I believe there are some server commands, also if you local host a vs match and set it to friends only, and maybe have on friend join you could be set. But I do recomend against single infected tactics. Try and find a team that you work well with, thats usually the strongest tactic as infected.

[Ferret]

You can on xbox, but only for one level. You get your team in a private lobby and have one person switch to humans, then search for a server/start countdown and have that person switch back to zombies while it is still counting and it starts the game with four AI survivors. They aren't very good at making progress though, it can take a while for them to decide to advance...

[Crazed Rabbit]

Nice playin with ya ramses, kinda screwed my team over trying to get you...

Don't worry, I got a screen:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

You can see Veho there on the ground, along with the rest of his team, as they were incapacitated after Veho blew up the gas station.

I was pretty excited

You can start a single player game, bring up the console and type a series of crap to let you spawn as a single infected vs bot survivors.......

I had to mess with the order of the commands a little bit to get it right. note that the bots are pretty good, so really the only thing you can use this for is learning hiding spots and practicing hunter jumps, as the chance that you will pwn 4 bots by yourself is pretty small, no matter how good you are.

[Veho Nex]

Pwned by Cr and NJS again... WE NEED YOU MONK!!!

[Major Robert Dump]

Really want to play some L4D tonite as my opportunities to do so will be limited for the next 5 months. I got some cognac, some cigars and I'm ready to FF people all night long.

If Veho wants to grief again, though:

[Mongoose]

Pever sorry about that ill-fated invite - I and another player sit in the safehouse for 10 minutes, then the second I invite you two people suddenly join

edit)
Although, the server was modded to have 2 tanks and a witch in every level so you actually weren't missing out on that much.

[Jolt]

Teehee! I haz new campaigns!

[KarlXII]

Dammit CR and your "Spawn hunter and wait for the survivor to open the safe room door which I'm hiding behind".

[Veho Nex]

Teehee! I haz new campaigns!

Huh!?! They are released?

[Veho Nex]

WAVE YO HANDS IN THE AIR!! ITTTTSSSS CCCRRRAAAAZZZZYYYYY!!!

[Jolt]

Just played the first level of a new campaign. Took dozens of screenies (71, though some will not be on display), that I'll post around here. The general outline is that the first level was rather boring (In terms of map design), and at least the Survivor AI has some pathfinding problems along with an extremely unusual number of horde appearances, both in length interval (They kept coming), and in horde numbers (They were huge, hordes lasted up to a minute.) The level was also extraordinarily long, which might be a good thing.

Anyways, here comes. The campaign is called Dead City. DISCLAIMER: If you open the spoils you will be flooded by a sea of images.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The starting point of Dead City. Besides the usual, these come with 3 Pipes and 3 Molotovs ready. As soon as we stepped off the Starting point, a horde event hit.


A little bit into the level, still in some sort of basement, another horde event.


Killing the said horde.


Out of the basement, into the Real World.


Little bit further, here's just one in a plentiful number of Horde triggering switches I had to press in the level.


And there comes our friendly neighbours...


...Which we eventually dispose of.


The switch opened two gates, we went into one which lead to nowehre but more zombies.


Still in the wrong gateyard.


Now here's something I never saw. Here was Louis happily walking with no enemy around when he apparently tripped in the air and incapacitated himself. Francis is such a helpful guy.


Thereafter, we entered matrix-styled text, the sound still came out regularly though.


Now through the right gate, onto a bridge full of burning cars.


Apparently, Bill (Me) gained Infected power, as he skillfully climbs a wall with little to climb from


...Hm, should I pounce them? They're so unsuspecting.


Soon enough I enter a building, which I don't really like anymore and you'll see why. The first floor right here.


Hordes come and come and come and come.


Another horde cleaned.


Looking through the floor, check the native's homes.


I R UBERLEETZOR WIZ SUPERCOMPUTER KTHXbai


2nd floor.


Hm...I initially enjoyed being each time farther from the bridge I had just been on, but that would soon change.


Upon coming to the final floor, there's a woman who says "OMG GIMME A KISS!".


"I WANT ONE TOO!", anyways this was one long horde.


3rd Floor.


Since I couldn't find a way to go down (As all rooms seemed to lead nowhere and there was a Medical case down there), I decided to get pragmatic and see if an old-fashioned jump would do the trick. Apparently Bill thought otherwise.


Finally manage to pass over those stupid crates blocking our way. Anyways, had to take a different stairway.


Someone is doing some large collection of booze.


This is the place where I wanted to reach with my jump. Upon getting there, we have another horde triggering switch to press, which opens a gate.


Beyond that gate there were more zombies to kill.


Our way forward.


Hm..This looks familiar. (e.g. Bridge I had been before going to the building. I'm just on the other side of a fence now)


Prooceeding.


Two more switches. Nice. -_-


This has an explanation. On the last screen, one of the switches was to call an elevator. However, there were some handstairs to climb to the building, which would lead exactly where the elevator would lead (Minus the horde attracted by the elevator. Upon climbing the stairs, I found out that the AI refused to do what I just did, and on top of that another horde event hit. Glad I had the difficulty in normal, as I had to fend off for myself while my mates enjoyed some time off down at the courtyard...


..So I went back down, pressed the switch which attracted a horde..


Francis has some problems getting unstuck from the side of the elevator once it reached down. The problem was solved as he teleported himself into the elevator.


Oversight of the bridge as the elevator goes up.


And we enter another building which is basically a perfect replica of the first one. *sigh*

[Jolt]

The second part of the great Sea of Images

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Horde power.


"New" floor. New horde. I might as well say here I was without clues how to go further down. I spent some 7 minutes searching for a way down and couldn't find a way


I killed two hordes through that door.


As they say, if you can't go down, go up. Unfortunatly, up only led backwards or nowhere. Here's me making sure my friends come back from nowheredom.


WOOT! After 2 minutes looking to the floor searching for holes and dealing with yet another horde, I have found the way in a very small room.


Ah, so close to the bridge again. Who would've said I'd like to be near the bridge.


It were those stupid crates who wasted 10 minutes of my life looking for a way down.


Finally, the last floor. I was seriously tired of those buildings.


At last! The street again!


Stepping outside the building, I had to press a new swiitch which means new horde to greet us.


The gate opening up.


Ooo. Scary.


A sideroom where I get a pipebomb. Not an(other) actual building (Phew.)


Now I'm on the other side of the fence, on the other side of our familliar bridge.


Horde + this spot = Such a lag I couldn't fire my pistols (Yes, and I'm playing offline. Imagine if I was playing online)


A bit forward, YET another horde. I was getting quite tired of dealing with a horde every half a minute.


FINALLY! Some change in the scenario! (Yes, I'm still on the first level)


...I can't the believe this.


OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG! This Level actually ends?


And indeed it did. That was so tiresome I quit after that level (Also given the fact that it was 5:30 AM)

Basically the level is full of alleys and dead ends, tight spots, full of hordes and a gigantic length in duration of the level. Should be fun for Multiplayer.

[Monk]

Looks great! Still looks like it is missing eyecandy and things like posters, tables, things like that. But it will definitely be a great addition to the map selection.

Thanks for the info!

[Veho Nex]

Wow looks awesome.

[Jolt]

I'll post up screenies of the second level once I actually get to playing it. My hopes are that the level doesn't last nearly as long as the first one did. I'm also VERY glad I played it in normal difficulty. Because of it (I think), there were no tanks or witches, since I would be VERY pissed off the team was murdered mid-way of the level, and I'd have to do the entire odyssey again.

[Ramses II CP]

Cool, I'm glad they're adding some new content. I'm still a noob and I can tell the game needs it.
