This was in the L4D2 beta, dated July 22nd 2009, if you don't believe me, get the beta yourself, this is insane lmao

saw these images from the leak, I've always thought L4D's beta aesthetics looked better than anything from the retail and this helps my case lol

So I was just typing out map names in the console to see if i can find unused levels in the Left 4 Dead 2 Beta, until i found a command that was "Map l4d_vs_c5m1_waterfront" and it loaded a unfinished version of the first level of The Parish with some huge changes. I took a picture of most of the changes here but there are still other changes I left out. There's also "Map l4d_vs_c5m2_cemetery" and "Map l4d_vs_c5m3_quarter" but trying to load the cemetery level causes the game to crash (unless my build cant even load it at all.) its just like sndspace from the main game but there's way earlier differences.

The leaked M4 (rifle_a) appears to be a weapon exclusive to the standard military loadout in "The Parish"; it could be dropped by an infected wearing riot gear or found in random locations—such as near the Humvees, the park, or the bus area—and possibly even on the paratroopers in "Swamp Fever."

This isn't a definitive fact, but rather my point of view, given that it is a heavily modified M4A1 (SOPMOD stock, extended magazine—holding around 60 rounds—, holographic sight, SCAR flashlight, and a handguard of an unspecified variant).

If left for dead 2 was released today, how do you think people would rate it and the pros/negatives will people have about it? Across all generations, but especially the new generation

A solution to the CN server issues when searching for Official Dedicated servers

29 Upvotes

First off, I want to say it's really fucking sad to see Valve just ignoring this issue; it should not be okay for anyone to pose a server as an official Valve one just for potential security reasons, but even more so when it's so overt and when there's so many of them. As far as I can tell, the issue occurs because there's SO MANY of them, that the game just gives up looking for more servers.

That being said, I made a solution last night that uses a cvar in the game to only permit official dedicated servers from Valve being used in matchmaking. Because of this, you never even get matchmade into one of these shitty CN servers so you don't have to worry about disconnecting or retrying over and over until you don't connect to one of them.

Unfortunately, it cannot be a simple Workshop mod. It has to have extra steps because- ironically- Valve has security measures that prevent Workshop mods from executing cvars or .cfg files. So it requires some extra work, sadly.

You can find all the information here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3793535875

Please let me know if you encounter any issues and please keep raising awareness of this issue because frankly Valve should be embarrassed that one of their hallmark games is borderline unplayable.

Best games to bond with other gamers

4 Upvotes

The l4d series and destiny for me personally have been the best games to get to know other players and I mainly ran with same crew of ppl from both games since their releases. These 2 series helped myself and my friends online to distract us from stressful times in life but it was us that really made the difference when ppl would lose jobs,go thru divorces or even deaths in the family. We went from being strangers to essentially family and was basically therapy sessions in a sense. Maybe one or both of these games did the same for some of you..hope everyone's having a great day and even if you arent,just remember your awesome and tomorrow is always the chance for a better day

Been seeing a lot of people compare l4d with No Room In Hell 2

12 Upvotes

For those of you who know what that is, do you agree? I love left 4 dead but I don't have a PC or Xbox so I haven't played it in a very long time and nothing since has really scratched that same itch until NRiH2 came out.

Nobody knows why is this thing under the map of No Mercy?

Me and my friend were able to play online in l4d1 beta, using radmin vpn and console connection. Game has a lot of removed features like seeing your body if you look down, upgrading your character, flash grenade, realistic breathing, being able to shoot from 2 glock when you are down and etc. Thera just a lot of stuff, and it’s hard to describe them all, but overall game plays better then the final product (l4d1). Also survivors have different look, and louis looks like weeknd a lil bit😭

Looking For Leaked Beta Collection

16 Upvotes

Does anyone have or has anyone found a collection on steam that has a bunch of the leaked beta stuff? Or stuff that's already been out from the beta? I don't want to go through and download everything individually if I don't have to, but I will if I need to. Just curious if there is already a collection made for this stuff.
