7/31/2019 Left 4 Dead 2 Best Maps
Lawl I think he was talking to me GODISNOWHERE.. but yeah it's pretty much the same for me. I've tried running TF2 on my computer a few months ago and it was so laggy it was impossible for me to play anything. I only got a little way through the tutorial before one part of it was too much for my computer to handle and it lagged to the point of not being able to do shit. I tried Left 4 Dead 2 a while ago and my computer can't even handle the graphics. My screen just had random colours and weird lines as soon as I started a game.

So as for the DLC you guys are telling me to get The Passing right? I had a look at the descriptions of the DLC and I noticed Cold Stream comes with 4 original Left 4 Dead maps while the others only come with 2?
So is getting Cold Stream more worth it because of the amount of maps it comes with? Or is The Passing still better because of the fun level??
Left 4 Dead 2 New Maps – IntroductionOne of the great features of Left 4 Dead 2 is the amount of replayability in the five included campaigns, but hardened L4D2 fans may one day find themselves burned out even on those gems. To complement our guide to the best Left 4 Dead 2 mods, we’ve perused the best custom campaigns and new maps on offer for the game, and come up with the cream of the crop. We’ll also look at the official L4D2 addon campaign, The Passing, and show you how to install Left 4 Dead 2 maps on the PC to play both in single player and with your friends. The Passing – Left 4 Dead 2 DLC New CampaignOf course, your first port of call for a new custom campaign for Left 4 Dead 2 should be Valve’s own release, The Passing, free for owners of the PC version and available from the Xbox Live Marketplace for Xbox 360 players. This adds a new campaign in which the characters of the sequel bump into the original cast of the first Left 4 Dead on a terrible stormy night down in Georgia. The Passing is up there with the other Left 4 Dead 2 campaigns for fun, horror and great gameplay moments, as you would expect from a Valve release, and is also great value even on the Xbox 360 for the Mutations feature, which brings new L4D2 gametypes, updated weekly. The Best Left 4 Dead 2 Add-On MapsSometimes a quick single map is all you need to kick back and kick zombie butt with your friends, and L4D Maps has a great selection of some of the best from the modding community. Contact is a fantastic space-set map, reminiscent of the best of ID Software’s first person shooters such as Doom, and features some quite stunning detailing and textural work. The Palace, meanwhile, returns to Earth with a bump at a zombie-infested cinema, and works especially well for Survival Mode. Zombies of the Caribbean is an amusing homage to the Disneyland ride that spawned a certain film franchise, including the option to take the boat ride and try to fend the infected off while taking in the sights. The Best Left 4 Dead 2 Custom CampaignsFor those wanting something meatier to get their teeth into, if you’ll pardon the pun, their are plenty of custom campaigns for Left 4 Dead 2 to check out. DeadCity II is a huge and complex map featuring some great set-pieces, including battling over a draw bridge and escaping through a subway station. However, some slightly iffy Bot routines mean that this may be best sampled in Versus Mode. 2 evil eyes l4d2 is a haunting and tough campaign set amongst some of the spookiest forests you’lle see in the game, and amazingly is the work of just one modder, godsgift, over a period of eight months. For fans of the first game in the series, No Mercy 2 is a pitch-perfect recreation of arguably the most popular of the Left 4 Dead campaigns. How to Install Left 4 Dead 2 MapsInstalling Left 4 Dead 2 new maps is a fairly simple process:
To play a Left 4 Dead 2 new map in Single Player, choose 'AddOn Campaign' from the 'Campaign' menu, and select which map you want from the list. To host a custom campaign or map, open the Left 4 Dead 2 console and type 'map (name)', replacing (name) with the custom map. You can invite friends to join as normal as long as they have the same map and map version as you installed on their system. ConclusionThis guide to Left 4 Dead 2 new maps should hopefully encourage even the most jaded of L4D2 players to get the old baseball bat and shotgun out and show those infected whose boss. The quality of the custom campaigns and add-on maps available is a testament to the incredible creativity and talent of the Left 4 Dead 2 modding community. Valve have a long history of providing superlative support to the PC modding community. Several of their titles, such as CounterStrike, began as fan-made mods for Valve games. Left 4 Dead 2 is no different. Soon after release, the creative PC modders were adding fresh new campaigns, tweaking the character models and animations and replacing the game’s sounds with custom alternatives. In this guide to Left 4 Dead 2 mods, we look at some of the best community-made content for the game that helps breathe new life (and death) into Valve’s zombie apocalypse. Campaign ModsThere are a number of new campaigns for L4D2 players to sink their teeth and chainsaws into available from the fan community. The campaigns from the first Left 4 Dead have been upgraded and ported into the new game. There are also tweaked versions of the campaigns that ship with Left 4 Dead 2. However, there are some entirely new and original campaign mods well worth seeking out. Death Aboard 2 is an update of a custom campaign created for the first game in the series. The action ranges across 5 new maps taking in desolate dockyards, abandoned ships and an eerie Lighthouse. With full support for Co-op, Versus, Survival and Scavenge modes, Death Aboard 2 is a worthy addition to your Left 4 Dead 2 playlist. City 17 is another updated Left 4 Dead mod. The twist to this campaign is that it is a recreation of another Valve classic, Half Life 2 Episode 1. Highly rated amongst the L4D2 community, this is a great mix of two FPS classics. Diescraper is a smaller 3 map campaign entirely set within a derelict skyscraper. The besieged survivors must blast their way through the infected hordes as they progress up the building to the rescue awaiting them on the roof. Diescraper again features support for the full range of multiplayer modes, and serves to satisfy a player's desire for a short, sharp shock of zombie action. Left 4 Dead Maps is a great place to discover these mods and more custom campaigns. Skin and Model ModsModders like nothing more than to delve into a game and customize a game's characters and animations. While this often unfortunately results in a rash of nude female characters, and Left 4 Dead 2 is no exception on that front, it can also result in some fantastic creations to really make your game an individual experience. If you preferred the cast of the original Left 4 Dead to the new batch of survivors, then the L4D1 Survivors Model and Animation Replacement pack is for you. Although they appear in the DLC The Passing, installing this mod will allow you to play through all of L4D2 with Zoey, Bill, Louis and Francis. There are also custom sound packs for this mod to enhance the experience. There are also a multitude of new skins released to customize the characters and weapons in Left 4 Dead 2, including the creepy Blood Stained Witch and the musical Slipknot Hunter. It's not just character and item models that can benefit from the modding treatment. The Improved Blood Textures pack ups the resolution of the splatters and wounds in the game to great effect, perfect for when you're wading knee-deep in zombie gore. To find these and other great mods, visit L4DMods. Sound ModsNothing makes a horror game more immersive than its sound effects. There are a host of sound mods available for the game, tweaking dialogue, weapon noises and the horrifying screams of the infected. Spybreak's Melee Sound Mod provides a revamped batch of sound effects for the melee weapons in L4D2. Not happy with the crunch of baseball bat on zombie face? Install this and get a deeply satisfying whack every time you beat on the poor shambling wretches. For the hardcore FPS fan, the Modern Warfare 2 Sound Mod replaces all the original weapon firing and reloading sound effects with noises garnered from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. ConclusionOne of the great benefits of PC gaming is the ability to extend a game’s life with a stream of custom content from the fan community. Installing the any of the above mods will add something new to your Left 4 Dead 2 experience, and give you plenty of zombie thrills and (blood) spills well into the future.

Hey everyone, there is a very popular mod out there out on the Steam Workshop that has been updated recently by the developer with malicious intent. With over one million people subscribed to it. (Granted 99% of these players are no longer active, but it just shows you how popular the mod is)
As you can see in this video I made here, several item menus are missing when I turn on the Helms Deep mod. As well as mutations no longer being allowed to be played as well as removing a significant chunk of them. Menus such as single player and the blog post have been removed, which makes no sense for a map mod. At all.
The modder, SeriouS_Samurai has been doing malicious changes that nobody ever asked for, nor are any of these changes stated in the change log. Instead, they're located here. It states that several mutations have been removed with no legitimate reason. It also states that it removes film grain, something I just learned today, Steam Group Server UI has been removed.
He also attempted a DMCA take down of a mod that Jaiz created that fixes the UI changes that the original developer made several months ago. I would not be surprised if he attempted to try and take down my video. You can find this here.

Find a corner, and have a melee weapon equipped. Hold [Melee] while aiming at the approaching zombies. Note: You may get hit a few times.
Defeating special Infected
Use the following tactics to kill special Infected:
Boomer: Shoot at the stomach while staying as far back as possible.
Charger: Get close to it. This will prevent it from charging, and then it can only inflict melee damage. This makes it easier to kill it with any weapon (melee or gun).

Hunter: When it is in its pouncing position, use a shotgun to nudge it away, then shoot it in the face. Alternately, use the shove move while it is jumping at you to force it to stumble back, thus preventing it from landing on you.
It is slow because it is written with a lot of technical stuff, so detailed that I kept stopping and reading the cover again looking for a hint or something that told me that it was a documental, real-life document or something, I was in college at the time, so some of the technical stuff made sense to me.anyways, it is about a person that was a non-believer that went back in time to Jerusalem to meet Jesus in his last days. And I loved it because the Jesus that is painted in this book its exactly as I pictured and not as the church as led us to believe, his human life, his family life, his fears.I want to read it again. Caballo de troya 1. They are fascinating to read.The author writes them as a non-fiction account of a supposed NASA Time traveler's memoirs (think Da Vinci Code).According to the book the time traveler wrote his memoirs and stashed them away, but they were found by Benitez and published as Caballo de Troya (Trojan Horse, which is the name of the time machine). I don't think these have been translated to English yet, but they should.
Jockey: Get into a huddle with your teammates, and wait for the Jockey to appear. When you see it, all teammates can shoot the Jockey at the same time. Huddling together will prevent it from launching at you. Alternately, use the shove move while it is launching at you to force it to stumble back, thus preventing it from landing on you.
Smoker: Use a similar strategy as with the Charger. You must get directly in front of it before killing it. The Smoker uses its tongue to grab survivors from far distances, but it cannot do that when you are very close.
Spitter: Shoot at the head, and be ready to get out of the way when it spits.
Tank: Go to high ground, and shoot at it while dodging it. In Co-op mode, use a grenade launcher for a frontal assault while your teammates fire at its back with shotguns. Alternately, do not try to deal any damage to the Tank, but instead hide somewhere and let the survivor A.I. kill it.
