Very short discussion, but Shawn Elliott has seen the forest map.

Skip to 81:15 minutes for l4d stuff. rest of the podcast is fun for other reasons

EDIT: Its a little longer than I thought, about 5 minutes on the new map. it sounds totally awesome, zombies flying out of cornfields, breaking into farm houses from every imaginable place.

I am excited

No real explanation of the Director, but it should get people interested.

I wish I could've played in the cornfield / as an infected.

Awesome find, thx!

You have to get inside a barn, in the middle of a field, until a truck comes to pick you up. Sounds like there could be a bit more barricading going on. :) Now, if TRS only gave us a screenshot of the new campaign... :P

"And one of them [Boss Infected] is this bloated, you know fat... monstrous piece-of-shit. And he, ah... pukes on you."

Those guys are funny. ^_^
hooray for zombies

I hope the map starts at sunset so you get the dynamic shadows in the forest. Then once you hit the cornfield it's night time. Then put in a full moon so the light looks weird and scary on the cornfield. Put a scarecrow in as well. In the center, the farm house is the only thing with a glowing light source through the windows. This forces you to have your flashlight on. Maybe add some wolves holwling. Should be sweet if done like that.

Are there gonna be a lot of zombies because a farm sounds like somewhere where there wouldn't be a lot of people.

Does Source even have Dynamic shadows aside from the Flashlight?... Don't think so.

TBH, if it looked that cool I'd blow my fucking face off with a torch.

O SNAP
I had a conversation with johnnyflash about cornfields awhile ago
I forgot who else was in it.
It was one time that it was me and someone else talkin about farms and cornfields and Johnny said somethin saying something like "Dont rule us out yet" or somethin like that, meaning that they may or may not have had been working on it.

And there was another conversation that squerl,frog and someone else and I had with Mac and Johnny about a Carnival. Lets hope we get one of those too

I was thinking the ground covered in trash and popcorn. Oh and zombies coming out of buildings and fun houses. With bright lights making it look like Las Vegas.

Oh man, idea time! How about the finale is a ride up to the top of a ferris wheel so a helicopter can take you away? Now that would rock.

How would the somnambulant opposition assail the survivors? Shout guttural expletives at them from the ground?

They don't attack or they clim up the ferris wheel. Or they could hold out waiting to power it up or something.

An old helicopter is down on the roof of a building that could only be reached by the ferris wheel. The players have to wait for a set period of time for the entire carnival to power up/light up and then ride up to the top.

Zing!


Brilliant idea!


Edit: and after having powered up the ferris wheel and successfully boarded it, the players can have fun shooting at the hapless zombies below.

With water guns until the balloons on top of their heads fill up and explode!


Really though, it would be a cinematic experience to be riding up the ferris wheel watching as the dark carnival they worked through lights up with zombies milling about below

Since this topic seems to have shifted to "What we want to see in L4D", I'd like to suggest

ZOMBIE WOLVES

in the Rural campaign. It would break the realism if you had about 50 zombie wolves attacking you at once or throughout the entire campaign, but they would make for some cool boss battles. Or maybe campaign-exclusive zombie bosses? For example, the Hospital campaign has a Witch as the 5th Boss Infected. Wolves could be the 5th Boss Infected for the Rural campaign. And we could even have the Freak Show peeps for the Carnival campaign (if it ever gets created)

I think the Witch is in all levels on Normal or higher.

Infecetd climbing the ferris wheel while you shoot them off would epic. THen at the end you can blow it up and squish some zombies.

Ooh cinematic destruction of the ferris wheel as you fly away in heli? Like the bridge death in the beginning of EP2!

And you only can go up two at a time, so one pair will go up and the second will have to defend themselves until the next non-broken sturdy, cart comes back around.

If there's ever an acceptable time to kill two of your teammates to survive, it'd be in the dash towards the ferris wheel. Heh heh.

isn't that what all the new games on the orange box have. it's when shadows move around from light right? so yeah it would

We need somebody to talk tech about L4D on the chat room. Some people say so while others don't. They are using Source which can be updated in real-time for developers. That's why it's so appealing to dev's to develop their games on along with scaling down.
