What would you like to see in left 4 dead?

[karl_eller]

AI who aren't pants-on-head retarded. Seriously, in Vs games I'd rather play a person short than have to put up with a freaking bot, ESPECIALLY on the finale levels. I've had my entire team wiped out in Blood Harvest because the freaking bot didn't get in the freaking rescue vehicle 'cause he wanted to go off and chase a hunter. And then there is all those times where you get pounced by a hunter and the bot just stands over you and refuses to just melee the freaking hunter off your back. Seriously, is it that hard for them to melee the hunter?

I'd also like an unlimited/big hoard option for campaigns, where you get a LOT more zombies and faster infected respawns.

8 Player campaigns (especially with the above option), and more skins so you don't have 2 twins (Although Zoey twins would be hot...)

I know there are mods for the above two, but they are fairly iffy at times, and sometimes require sv_cheats 1.

[Ishnuvalok]

A mall survival level, but with 8 survivors.

Some guy is making one, uh, "Dead before Dawn" I think it's called.

http://www.fpsbanana.com/news/19309

But it's with the normal 4 players.

 

[Parallel Streaks]

At the very least being able to choose the colours of the Survivor's clothes. I want to play Francis with a pink vest dammit, it's a pretty simple request!

Oh, also versus Survival mode, where when you play as infected, you respawn instantly every time you die. To make it even players wouldn't be able to play as the Tanks, maybe, or the special infected health is taken down a bit more.

 

[Slash Dementia]

The ability to make your own survivor!!

I like this, but I wouldn't want to play online with other people if it was there... Unless they only give normal hair colors and styles, then I'm good.

More campaigns and multi-player modes.

 

[LordKnightLani]

More campaigns, first off. I love L4D, but I've played the four campaigns to death by now.

More characters. Theoretically you could always be bound to using 4 characters in Campaign mode, but could choose which. In Versus, you could set a limit on how many Survivors/Special Infected would be there, and adjust the size of the hordes accordingly.

More variety in weapons. I know the game is meant to be fairly simple at it's core, but there should be a way to add more variety to the weaponry. Things like flamethrowers and grenade launchers would be over the top for the theme, but there's got to be something they can do. Same goes for the explosives.

L4D is one of those awkward games that would be hard to make major changes to. Right now, the balance is pretty damn good, and there's nothing really wrong with it. But there's always space to get better, I think?

 

[A Raging Emo]

More Characters.

Only have 4 at one time during a campaing, but characters that are almost the same as the current ones, but with different skins and accents.

For example, another college/Zoe's counterpart. A Private in the Army to be Bill's counterpart. I think it would work quite well.

 

[Shrubery]

Perhaps some rare guns that you won't find everytime

 

[aussiesniper]

A special form of propane tank that acts as a trap or remote-detonated bomb, but has a 25% failure rate.

Maybe a second kind of pistol with less power and accuracy, but a larger clip size and possibly a 3-round burst function (same key as hunting rifle zoom).

 

[Ashbax]

I think there should be another Playable Zombie, like...Hmm, im trying to think of a good one They already have stealthy ***** Covered (Huntard) Brute force indestructible 1337 Pwnage Of doom (Tankzorz) Thing...That strangles people with his tongue? (Smoker.. ) And, um, fatass who Pukes on people (probably my favourite, I mean, Where do valve come up with this stuff? YOU GET TO PLAY AS AN OBESE DEAD GUY WHO PUKES ON PEOPLE! Its so fucking Cool! ) Maybe there should be a guy who spits acid at them, doing a average amount of damage, but to balance it the spitting has a long recharge and is inaccurate...

 

[GRIM X]

a level in a swamp would be sweet!

 

[APPCRASH]

Electric shock to those who rage quit.

 

[lava_lamp]

randy savage as a playable infected

 

[Ruzzian Roulette]

Create-a-Suvivor! I cant say it enough.

 

[IxionIndustries]

More dialogue.
Melee weapons, (Chainsaws, hatchets, etc.)
ACTUAL grenades
More maps, some linear, and some nonlinear, like Unreal Tournament Maps
Booby-traps
More zombie breeds (Zombie animals anyone?).
The abillity to play as a witch or any regular infected.
Special equipment (such as portable ladders or zipline arrows.)
More destructable and manipulatable environments.
Finally some more characters, like a pet dog who gnaws off zombie legs, or finds you that last minute molotov.

 

[SomeBritishDude]

More campaigns.

A zombie only mode (like campaign mode but zombie end, with different difficulty's of survivors, possibly more than 4 in higher difficulty's)

A flame thrower.

A vehicle section like the one in CoD4 except with zombies. You find a guy with a Lorry who will take you to the safe house, but you start being chased by a huge never ending pack of zombies. You get in the back and must defend against the tides of zombies climbing into the cargo hold where you are. There are plenty of boxes and so on to make for cover for you can zombies a like. Boss zombies can spawn on the roof and get in though several holes. The driver is eventually killed and the lorry skids off the road, ending the event.

 

[Imat]

5. More campaigns, we have a hospital and surrounding city, we have a rural area with a farmhouse, a rural turnpike that goes to the docks, and an airport, how about an army base, college campus, a resort, etc.

I really wanted to make my University campus as a campaign in L4D...I would find it enjoyable. Have a bunch of graduating zombies instead of the regular zombies or the hospital zombies. Heck, you could have all sorts of fun gizmos lying around, like some sort of experimental "laser," that you could use once as like a horde-calling mechanism, or just as a zombie trap.

 

[Swaki]

faster reloading shotguns, srysly i love the shot gun and all but as soon as you run out and therefor lose your epic blasting damage, you reload as fast as the guy in darkness.

zombies can lose other limbs than arms and head, like in fallout all the organs on every mob can blast in 8 different directions.

for the love of god place the witch some fair places, every time i see her shes in the middle of a narrow hall whit no other way to go. also if she could only rape the idiot who don't seem to understand that she is the an mutant rapist daughter of Satan who should be avoid on all costs and if you have no other way attack her from a distance, instead of the guys trying to help his sorry ass.

make it so i don't have to play zoey all the time, its starting to hurt my ego that i always end up being the girl.

let the blobbers survive more than a single shot in the foot, its awesome when your playing campaign but when your playing versus its unbalanced.

give some sort of punishment like a 3 day ban to the guys jumping on every car and doing every thing they can to alarm the horde.

turn on friendly fire in online games, its hard enough to fight of a trillion zombies whit out worrying about the guy trying to shoot over your shoulder whit a shot gun, which of cause leaves to me picking 1/3 of his ammo out of my neck.

 

[Booze Zombie]

Would saying "Zoey's breasts" get me in trouble?

But seriously, the special infected having back stories would rock.

 

[Remco32]

A fifth character, but still maintaining 4 characters per game. Ability to play as a regular infected during the waits in versus.
