Left 4 Dead Maps Playable in L4D2

"If you bought Left 4 Dead 2 on the PC, you might be pleased to hear that some modders have figured out a way to import all of the maps from Left 4 Dead into Left 4 Dead 2, playable with the new infected, new survivors, and the baseball bat."

Okay now that is sick. I would so love that for my 360 version. Oh well... I would also like a Ferrari too...oh well.

dreamtheater876042d ago

Join us on the PC version and not only do you get these, but also a wealth of other user created maps, campaigns, mods and skins! Plus future official DLC will likely be free of charge.

Halo3 MLG Pro6042d ago

My PC is pretty basic. I haven't gamed on my PC since Unreal 2004. I love Left 4 Dead 2 and being able to play the old maps especially my favorite hospital map is just plain awesome. But I rather just keep it as is and use my PC for surfing the web and downloading a few torrents here and there. I rather game down stairs where I have a nice lil setup. I don't want to go through all the trouble of connecting both and running here and there to play a game.

This is a very cool feature but I'm happy as is.

baum6042d ago (Edited 6042d ago )

I'll get the superior version... :)

Edit:

@below, unlike you I don't have to "settle" for anything. BTW, who said I wanted MW2? I know I didn't. Enjoy generic warfare. Also, it's funny you call me a PS3 fanboy when I never mentioned PS3, it was obvious I was talking about the PC version but... if being that paranoid works for you, then whatever floats your boat, sleuth.

Halo3 MLG Pro6042d ago

What are you going to do when you play Bayonetta? Or Modern Warfare 2? Or Assassins Creed 2??? HAHA, guess you have to settle with the crappy version. :)

But you ps3 fanboys are use to playing inferior versions.

SnukaTheMan6042d ago

But sadly it will cost us as usual.

blu_yu_away6042d ago

True, but unfortunately many console gamers have shown time and time again that publishers and developers can bend us over all they want and a large majority will take it and ask for more

champ216042d ago

no point bending over to microsoft.

converting to pc gaming is cheaper and superior then any console.

Halo3 MLG Pro6042d ago (Edited 6042d ago )

I just saw your bio. Please enlighten me how much money and time did it cost you for your rig.

champ216042d ago (Edited 6042d ago )

my rigs a high end rig.. it would cost about 1000usd right now

it has ssds which cost more.. 1500usd with the ssds. but thats like comparing cutting edge tech to obselete console tech. though if you look at my rig without the SSDS, in the long term even it can be cheaper then consoles.. this is simply due to high prices on games on consoles.

To beat an xbox or a ps3 you dont need all of that.

you could make a rig for 500usd and it will beat both the consoles put together, it will play games at 1080p @60fps while its games will be cheaper.

online will be free.

you wont have to pay for expensive accessories like on the xbox.

thats the beauty of pc gaming you dont have to go all out.. a mid range rig is enough.

PILLZ HEERE! Good ol' Louis :) I wish it was the same for the 360 version

Ninji6041d ago

L4D2 is just the name of the DLC for L4D.

TABSF6041d ago

The Beauty of Valve and Steam Community, also I bet these guys don't get banned for modifying the games

GamerRN812d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit812d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead812d ago

That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release

TheEroica812d ago

Sony gamers begging for Xbox games.... Who would've thunk it?

BISHOP-BRASIL812d ago

Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...

S2Killinit812d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash811d ago (Edited 811d ago )

We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5

StormSnooper811d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica810d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer812d ago

Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela

S2Killinit812d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer812d ago

Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass

S2Killinit812d ago

Quality and MS are not things you bring up in same sentence.

shinoff2183812d ago (Edited 812d ago )

Alot of indies skip xbox to. It goes round and round. Personally I think your off base on that but no need to have the argument.

Friendlygamer812d ago

Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.

  Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.

And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation

shinoff2183812d ago

Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.

One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.

Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.

Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.

Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)

StormSnooper811d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal812d ago

They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.

Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.

TwoPicklesGood812d ago

I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.

shinoff2183812d ago

While indont agree with the games. I agree with the point. Your not wrong.

DarXyde812d ago

Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.

Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.

Valve Made Left 4 Dead 2 Because The First Game Was A Broken Mess

Left 4 Dead lead Chet Faliszek describes the original Left 4 Dead game as "such a broken thing that nobody wanted to touch it."

ZycoFox924d ago

And then couldn't be arsed to make a third game.

If they can add a lot more stuff to a 2nd game in just 1 year why didn't they make a third game a few years later with tons of stuff extra? Because that shows they could've.

I know Source 2 was kind of broken and was a reason they cancelled L4D3 but it seems wasteful to just toss it away.

Don't know what Valve were thinking.. it's like nobody wanted to fix the issues to get going. They certainly aren't the Valve of 2004 that released fun games with pretty cutting edge graphics.

cthulhucultist922d ago

Valve is allergic to number 3 it seems. It would be easier for them to release a Left 4 Dead 2.5 enhanced version instead of releasing a game with "3" slapped on its title.

rakentaja921d ago

They stopped making games a long time ago. Steam brings in so much money that it's really not worth the effort. Nowadays, people only look for faults in games, and spend more time whining on Twitter/X than playing the game anyway. Valve says a big fat no-no.

anast922d ago

Value is the Blockbuster of video games. They have no need to invest in deving a game, when they can make handfuls of cash renting them.

-Foxtrot924d ago

What are they talking about? Seemed pretty alright to me at launch it just wasn't supported the way Valve promised us

They should have just worked on a revamp / massive update to the game but they didn't they jumped straight to a sequel with brand new characters despite having some sort, if small, story about where the original survivors were heading.

I didn't care for the direction they took the sequel, the original games tone and atmosphere was missing in the second game and is still unmatched. Daytime levels, more whackiness, melee weapons where you could attack a Tank with a frying pan...just wasn't the same to be honest and the new survivors just didn't hold up the originals.

Here's my speculation. I think they did a sequel because they didn't want to update a game co-developed by Turtle Rock, they wanted the franchise to be known as a Valve game only and knew if they updated the first one Turtle Rocks name would still linger on it.

shaenoide922d ago

I want broken games like L4D all day long...

GhostScholar922d ago

Well the first game was by far the best
