Great!!!
Wow! I mean wow! Great!
I play Left4Dead and this was extremely entertaining and reminds me of running around alone, which is bad in this game. And your comment about Valve, I couldn't agree more.

Glad you liked it. I like people who vote 10 =)
A good, simple flash.
While a little too short and simple, the flask had a good level of quality and smoothness missing in other movies here. Good job.
Now, since you've allowed others to voice their (sometimes idiotic) opinions over L4D2, I'd like to add my two cents. I believe Valve was right in making L4D2 a separate game. Between melee weapons, specialty ammo/guns, stage-specific infected, and so on, the gameplay would be changed dramatically, making older levels unbalanced at best. It'd be like taking TF2 and trying to add three new classes, two radically different game modes, and a vehicle system: it's simply too much to squeeze in. Releasing a totally new game allows much more space to accommodate these new features, making a smoother, more enjoyable experience.
Now, despite all of this, I don't think Valve should be totally let off the hook. Valve promised to continuously update L4D with new content, a promise that has only been partly kept (don't forget, they have made survival mode and Last Stand), and with L4D2 coming around the bend, I doubt this trend will change for the better. Regardless of how good it's reasons, Valve did not follow through, and many would appreciate it if they attempted to make it up. Perhaps they could set up a rebate system for those who already own L4D, or have special content only available to those who own the original.
In the end, all I'm really saying is: Gamers, cool it. Valve is trying to make the best game they can, not steal your money. Valve, be a little more careful with your words next time. People don't like companies who go back on their word, regardless of why.
StealthBeast responds:
I'm pretty sure a company that can make melee weapons, specialty ammo, and stage-specific infected for L4D2 have the basic coding know-how to de-activate these for old maps.. That being said, you may be right, maybe it was for the best that L4D2 act seperate from L4D1.
But to say that we've gotten any substancial DLC at all is difficult to say with a straight face. Survival mode could be made in each map with about 8 console commands and a stopwatch, and the last stand, which was advertised like a campaign, is the smallest map in the entire game (and you won't even use 3/4 of the map due to how impractical it is, so the DLC "campaign" is effectivly 1 house). And remember, L4D1 was so littered with bugs and imbalances for such a long time that most who were here from the beginning will agree that L4D wasn't playable for the first 3 months, wasn't balanced for 6, and wasn't efficiently exploit-proof until the same week of the announcement of L4D2 when they FINALLY fixed the infinite molotov glitch...
And with THAT being said: For L4D1 owners, who have barely had a working game to play for more than 4 months, it is completely unreasonable to be expected to dish out the $35-$55 dollar release price of L4D2, a game that we almost already own.
At any rate, glad you liked the short.
Kinda short...
But still fairly good. I like what you did with this.
StealthBeast responds:
Thanks, glad you liked it.
great..
that was a amazing video.how did you make this?you are talented and you say it is for a school project.this was just great.
StealthBeast responds:
Glad you liked it. I made it in Adobe Flash, mostly on a MAC (God I hated that thing). Then finished it up at home on my awesome PC.
Whats wrong with Louis?
Every bodies always dogging Louis like he's some terrible character or something. I always play it on live and i usually pick Louis so I've never really seen his A.I. play, but if he acts as a annoyance then its sad that the only black guy is the liability.
The flash was good though i wish it would've been longer and included the other characters, and maybe a tank or two for good measure.
Only a seven because their wasn't much to it, still good though.
StealthBeast responds:
The AIs are almost exactly the same. Zoey AI used to pick the hunting rifle primarily, and use pistols primarily... But I haven't seen that to be the case anymore so I guess they changed it.
Well I hope you got some enjoyment out of it.
