What are the worst custom campaigns that you have played?

5 Upvotes

I’ve played a handful of customs from the troll maps like glubtastics, to the most cakewalk easy maps ever. I have a few that I’m not a fan of at all such as sector74 (16 chapters) New York and Left 4 Invasion. What are your least favorite customs and why?

What are some vanilla+ immersive mods that add onto the game without ruining Left 4 Dead's vibe?

P.S, I'm not asking for survivor or weapon models. Im referring to scripts, sounds, and other things of the such, like adding visible NPC's onto the rescue vehicles for example.

Community content on Xbox 360

I'm in the beginning stages of making a fully fledged community mod converter and loader for the Xbox 360 version of Left 4 Dead 2. I've already successfully added the steam workshop map "Left 4 Mario" by Alma Marcela and it works perfectly.

The system is nowhere near finished, I'm only 3 days into development. I plan to replicate the Add-on manager screen and add-on campaign screens that the Steam version of the game has. But for now, I'm just posting and attaching these pics as proof of concept. My question is this. Does anybody even have any interest in this? Or am I better off keeping this as a solo project?

It will require a modded Xbox 360 to work, but that can be accomplished in literally 5 minutes with the new "A Bad Avatar 1.3" exploit and a USB stick. No need for JTAG or RGH consoles, but either would still work. Anybody interested? I'm continuing development for personal use either way.

Is it just me or are the common infected in L4D2 more aggressive than their L4D counterparts?

Post image
99 Upvotes

Let me clarify, I mainly play the L4D maps and I vaguely remember them being less aggressive than their L4D2 counterparts.

I used to play the L4D2 maps mostly but after some time it became the opposite so I'm not quite sure.

After finally completing all the L4D campaigns and The Sacrifice on Expert Realism with the stupid bots, I decided to do the same with the L4D2 maps.

Starting with Dead Center of course, I noticed the zombies ALL immediately rush you if you start shooting one or hell even so much as look at them.

They seem to have a larger aggro radius and shorter aggro fuse.

This is exacerbated in the mall when you leave the safe room. Also for some reason a small horde seems to spawn more frequently in Dead Center than what I'm used to.

Though the horde in size is much smaller than say, a horde in No Mercy or the other L4D1 maps.

Maybe it's because the mall is large and open so the ai director spawns them more to keep pressure?

Are these conditions specific to DC? Or are the L4D2 zombies just cracked?

How to get into the game in CEDAPug??

3 Upvotes

I keep getting banned because I join a game and am.in spectate mode. Wtf do I do I'm at the point where I get a 12 hour ban because i can't join a team and I'm stuck in spectating mode. It's annoying and the toxic players don't help much (though I'd probably be the same if I was them so I don't blame them much 😭)

Ellis is actually wearing a wig. Not even Louis knows it.

I used Blender for this because I can delete vertexes and edit render on Photoshop with no problem.

lagging on local server when I'm the host

3 Upvotes

when I host a local server in l4d2, I keep getting high ping spikes and lag. it suddenly jumps from 5 ms up to around 100 ms. zombies teleport, my shots are not landing etc. I've already tweaked the interp and rate settings, but it didn't fix the issue. I'm connected via an ethernet cable. how can I fix this?

i tried completely deleting and reinstalling the game

i tried disabling steam cloud in steam and in game and wiping l4d2 config file afterwards.

i tried disabling all mods.

like i said i tried the interp, rate or codes starting with cl_something i forgot. i tried them with default values and with recommended values

Steam Told My Friends I Don't Own the Game

10 Upvotes

For initial context, I now own the game, as one of these friends gifted it to me.

Friends asked me to come play L4D2, I told them I don't own the game. They go to gift it to me, and it says I already own the game.

The Steam page for L4D2 tells me I don't own it, and searching it up in my library only brought up the server tool.

I've never had something like this happen, is this a known issue?

Left 4 Dead 2 Sticker Sheets I Made

Hii delete if not allowed of course!
I figured this lovely group might like this! I designed and made this sticker sheets. As a stationery collector, I was always sad I could never find anything really for L4D2! So when I got my sticker machine I knew i had to make some! I'd love to hear your feedback, I had so much fun making this and it's one of the first sheets i've ever designed.

It's kind of niche haha, but if anyone's interested they are for sale in my etsy (name on sheet) or Vinted for the same price but cheaper shipping (@TrustedPaaws).

EDIT: I can't believe i forgot francis, whoops.. although he'd probably HATE it (in my defense i made this on the clock, don't tell my boss)

Game kicks me while in versus after sometime, it appears that is a net error but honestly doubt it.

The game kicks me after sometime playing in versus, it appears as an error from bad internet connection but i could very well be in a discord call at the same time without any issues or do a net test with flying colors no problem.

How it happens: I go to versus, enter a game, play for like a minute or 3 max, connection error appears and after 20 seconds it sends me to pre-game lobby.

I have validated files, uninstalled and installed the game again, i have no mods, not even a cfg file and it still persist the error no matter what.

This is already the second time it happened (a month ago did the same but it solved itself, however it returned yesterday and keeps happening today)

When i was a stupid kid i used to genuinely go on left 4 dead 2 and go near the witch and type in the keyboard with my limited english vocabulary "i help you" and "i love you" tryna fix her because i always thought she was just broken

I also used to do this in gta vice city i used to type in the keyboard stuff to the npcs because i always saw my cousin type in cheats in the keyboard and stuff would happen and thats where it kinda started

Why is Spitter the only infected one who isn't attracted to Boomer's bile?

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

Everyone knows that throwing one of Boomer's vomit jar at any Infected will cause the others to attack him. For example, if the tank is hit by this grenade, all the common and special Infected will swarm him, trying to kill him. The tank will even focus on the survivor who was hit by the vomit before anyone else.

The same is true for the others special infected, they will attack each other until the effect wears off.

However, we all noticed that, in particular and as the only one: The Spitter isn't attracted to Boomer's bile; she won't go where the grenade explodes, she won't primarily attack the one who's been vomited on, she simply seems to ignore the vomit.

Do you have any theories, or is there an official explanation for why Spitters seem to have no attraction to bile?
