Last Stand = BAD END

They should make a last stand campaign, in my opinion. Just to give a good end. I also like what you said about the campaigns being linked, I think they should do some fan service and make a video linking the campaigns together.

Valve should add like a max of 30 minutes and have a rescue thing come in and save ya. I hate playing games when I know I can't "win".

You must have hated tetris.

You can hit the boats in the water with a molotov

exceptions to every rule, tetris being to this one.

This. I was super bummed out when I learned there wasn't going to be a new campaign with the update.

After 15 minutes, the common infected hordes should be replaced with angry witch hordes

>>30301173
I don't think there is a single zombie movie out there that didn't have either "TO BE CONTINUED" or "BAD END"

Sean of the Dead doesn't count, fike the guy said, exceptions to every rule.

wait... does this mean L4D had a story line?!

>>30301248

True enough. I just had more fun with the campaigns than versus. Survivor is still fun, though.

While knowing that I'll never actually win, seeing those minutes rack up is exhilarating. Valve has given me another reason to play this game on an unhealthy basis again.

Getting the Gold Medal being the last one alive for an entire minute on Dead Air with the van. Feels good man.

dozens of witches screaming at once. yeah.

Just posted my thoughts in another thread.

Basically I don't think the survival mode works too well with the laggy hitbox infected stealthing their way up behind you when you're trying to fight a tank. I mean, fair cop if you're out in the open and are stupid enough to get surrounded by a horde... but it's that one little camo zombie that somehow zips through everyones fire, runs right up behind you and slaps you on the back... thus stopping you dead and fucking up your entire game.

That said, the mode is kinda boring. There is no real motivation to play the scenarios that are from the campaign. It's like playing a campaign without any sense of progression... after a few games me and my team were bummed out totally.

Last Stand is the only decent map... something new at least.

It wouldve been nice if they implemented witches to surival mode. Either to have them wander around the map sulking causing any runners/stragglers to be viciously mauled or to have the waves of infected die down for a few seconds only to have her screaming begin and make a few witches rush in. They were always more terrifying than tanks once they got going.

Just to add. It wouldn't be so bad if the maps allowed for varied play... but the nature of the survival mode is that you HAVE to find a good place to camp and HAVE to use the best possible strategy.

This ultimately ends up being four guys against a wall, emptying pistol mag after mag into a doorway or hole in the wall, with the only variety coming when the tanks show up.

So I mean, once you've got to 10:00 minutes once, where is the motivation to do it again? I know I can't be fucked to sit and click at the same spot for 10:00 straight minutes in the hope that I'll get lucky enough to make it an extra couple of seconds.

It's knid of interesting at first, but after a few attempts it is worn out.

That's why I like Last Stand, because it allows for some varied strategy. Like starting down the path and retreating back up through the house and ending up on the lighthouse. But even that has it's limits.

I can see this as a feasible idea. However they will need to be as easily killable as common infected since one hit downs a survivor.

>>30301402
Isn't that the point of zombie apocalypse? Get distracted for a second and you're dead?

This is just like bitching about CoD4 with saying "whoever sees the other one first wins". That's how war works.

>>30301620
I don't know about you but in last stand we got to 12min just standing against a wall on the water heater emptying pistols into shit.

Now I got gold there I dont need to play it again.

>>30301620
Then don't camp.
I refuse to, preferring desperate run and gun action to sitting around.

>>30300881
I dunno about no mercy, as then it'd be going from city directly to the forest.

maybe the boat in death toll crashes, so you go up the shoreline to the lighthouse. or maybe in blood harvest a tank destroys the truck and you have to go to the lighthouse

or something.

Survival gets boring fast.

The new versus maps are appreciated but an all new campaign/versus set of maps would have been better.

>>30301728
No mercy's city is surrounded by forest bro.

>>30301722

Desperate run and gun action lasts a couple of minutes at best, thanks to that aformentioned, lone zombie that comes in on your massive blind side when you absolutely have to shoot something else and brings you to a halt.

I mean right, if I don't see him, it's my fault. But when I'm shooting him and thanks to one of the many shitty servers he gets right through and gives me a scratch, I mean, c'mon... do I have to stop dead every time?

The mode just promotes the lamest aspect of L4D. It promotes sitting in a boring spot, shooting in the exact same direction for 10 straight minutes... and is made impossible for anyone who wants to spice it up with some run + gun by the cripple movement and impossible infected hordes.

>>30301625
Assuming we use the latter option, the witch would begin screaming a few seconds before she actually appears, giving a decent forewarning and chance to get into position. She would have to run in off-screen. Take the generator room [No mercy] as an example; assuming the survivors are upstairs in a corner the witch would only be able to spawn downstairs. Of course she would behave as a normal witch [with maybe lower HP or slower] except fire would ultimately put her off and cause her to flee - but this causes normal survival to resume the moment she is set alight rather than at death.
Although she would have to be a rarer spawns, maybe once every 3/4 minutes.

>Fun fact: In last stand, you can hear a ship off in the distance, which is probually why the survivors turn on the lighthouse to try and signal them.

Actually the boat is scuttled and you can see it in the distance. I saw it up close and personal however when a tank punched me out into the water. :|

>>30302033
>scuttled
Im not familier with that phrase.

>>30301065
But you can win... All you need to get the highest score above your friends in rankings.

Feels good man.

>>30302077

The boat is no longer seaworthy and is sinking, it hasn't fully sunk yet though.

>>30302309
There are 2 of those boats, they been there and are abandoned.

>>30302451

But how do you know they aren't your boats? It is a mystery of the game. :\/

28 Days Later had a GOOD END

>>30302809
But it was also continued into a bad end.

Doesnt count

Survival mode is so morbid.

I always feel scared as the event is activated; I know that none of us will survive.

It just makes it more awesome.
