If I had a choice on a mew movie, I would definetly have a school campaign, start from your house, make your way through the city, and get to the school for a heli

[Pvt_BlackJack]

hmmm, Nah the Master says: A capain much like Dawn Of THe Dead would be way cool. It woudl school your idea!! (pun indented, insult not).

Just imagine running throught the mall, cleaning up the bad guys, then activate a switch to open the sewers, the get to the gun store, and close the sewer door, making a safehouse. The after the gun store, you go to a underground parking lot, turn on the bus fight off a horde, then rid ethe bus to the dock. Then it would be a finale, fighting then getting a boat going (another finale) ending in you escaping.

[jaydawg116]

I can understand that, although it is completely ripped off from Dawn of the Dead

(sorry, accidentally hit the back button)

[Pvt_BlackJack]

Oh yea lol of course, but it is the macanic of it. How it all works, i mean it makes sencse, escaping and hiding in the mall, if somenoe made it, and though about it, it could maybe be just as good as a movie from L4D, seriously. The movie and idea rocked the shit out of dogs.

[AND1]

Left 4 Dead in SPACE !!

[jaydawg116]

Yeah, but Dead Rising already made the mall idea work

[Rancid Death]

going through a rich neibhorhood with giant mansions would be interesting.

another idea running through suburbs with mostly one story houses havign zombies climbing over all the fences and stuff.

a straight forest movie would be cool.

a moive where your going up the side of a mountain trying to gt to the top.

going along a desert highway, with a house or gas station very far between.

[jaydawg116]

All good thoughts....In a few months, well submit this blog to Valve, good idea?

[SwooshDood]

Left 4 Dead in SPACE !!
Im afraid the campaign will be called dead space, ripping off yet another name.

they should name it the death star, oh wait.

[embef]

In a vulcano.

[Domo]

Industrial zone like a refinery

carnival/theme park

[Sandman77]

In a Castle or going from the top of a skyscraper to the bottom!!!
Mines or Caves

On a Cruise...

[jaydawg116]

Anybody want to submit this in a couple months for ideas for valve...new campaigns?

[l4d_JD]

1st Campaign - 28 Days Later

Part 1
Start in the hospital, escape there, running through the city to the shop hideout to restock, heal temporarily and such.

Part 2
Going from the shop to the block of flats, where you think you might be able to hold out for a while... cause they see the xmas lights in the window (like in the movie...), which is there where you hear about a safe haven in the Mansion the army has taken over.

Part 3
Escaping from the flat across a long road and through a forest to get to the barricade to sound the siren to get the army to come and pick you up to take you to the Mansion.

Part 4
Obviously, it goes tit's up and you have to hold off a huge horde of the undead, only until they are dead is when a helicopter can come and rescue you.

I realise the timescale and distance would be messed up in comparison to the film since the hospital is in London and the Mansion is on the outskirts of Manchester, if I remember correctly... but maybe cut scenes or just slight changes to the story, could show how bits are missed out or different or whatever, I dunno...



2nd Campaign - Resident Evil

Part 1
Start off in Raccoon Forest where you are attacked and have to flee towards the mansion.

Part 2
Getting from the Mansion to the underground Umbrella Lab.

Part 3
Survive through the Lab to find another exit, while discovering that their is a heliport where you can call for rescue.

Part 4
Get to the heliport and call for the helicopter, where you once again have to fight the final onslaught of zombies.


And of course, the Dawn of the Dead mall would just kick ass aswell!

[Jakpower]

Mall

Small Island

VALVe HQ

FBI HQ

Adventure Landing

Chuckie Cheese

Amusement park

LOL

[Neb]

The largest carnaval ever held in the history of earth right when the infected come a swipe out the whole area. Fighting in a carnavel would be freaky. Zombie carnies!

[Rancid Death]

a tropical island during daytime would be cool.

i like the amusment park idea. how about up it to disney world, have a zombie in a mickey mouse custom ftw.

going to a stadium for a helicopter rescue at the end of one.

wetlands, zombies poppign up from underwater!

cutting through a zoo wwould be cool for one chapter of a scenerio.

a secret undeground goverment facility named black mesa....

[bradzillla]

now thats thinking out side the box

[jaydawg116]

Make a sequel called Right 2 Live- the exact opposite of left 4 dead

[Rancid Death]

Make a sequel called Right 2 Live- the exact opposite of left 4 dead

right -4 live would be the exact opposite

[jaydawg116]

well its close, ya gotta admit

[Elite]

Don't do a school... You will get arrested for Terrorism charges and put in jail...

lolz. I remember seeing this, i was about half way done my map for my school :D.

[Hooligan8200]

How about some movies NOT zombie related?? eh?? i think all the resident evils and 28 days later and what not will get old pretty fast.

Cc_nipper should hook us up with some maps :)

[blah]

Best idea ever, a map to go to a hospital, or a map to get to a small farm house, or to get to a airport, or through a forest...

I'm so original

[Burnzoire]

I'm thinking about reviving a map I started in COD4 that has a pretty good feel to it for a zombie movie. It's based off the Point Sur lighthouse complex in california. I'm a bit worried that it will be difficult to build the mountainous areas in Hammer because of the view distance when looking down the slopes. I could probably be clever about it and make the road areas fairly linear with liberal use of chain link fences...

Here's a photo of the location:

and what I have built in Radiant - will need to be rebuilt in hammer :(

I guess what I want to know is... is this worth the huge amount of effort needed, or should I go for something a bit easier to build (no big cliffs etc).

As far as how the movie would play out, I would imagine something like:
1) start near the bottom of the road looking up at the radio antennae, the idea that it's needed to contact help. Progress along road to lighthouse (road leading to top is blocked)

2) resupply at lighthouse and head up trail to main house. Activate radio and head to saferoom.

3) go underground (from house, under cistern and end up at the road that was blocked off earlier. Fight it out until roadblock is cleared (tank?). Hmm well the more I think about it... the more I see how hard it would be to execute in L4D! Oh wells :/

Me and Danger are currently working on a movie with that. You start at a house and make your way to another house in the first level. From there you go through more houses to the free way, down into a rail line, into a tunnel, and end at an apartment complex. Next level would be through a shopping district, and final level would be at a school with a finale in the auditorium.

[DarkevilPT]

i Wonder in some Arena Map.. xD

Good job, I will be looking forward to a movie like that

[Shadrouge]

Things like a Mental Asylum and a Prison pop to mind, but they'd have to be accompanied by other areas too. I like the idea of the Lighthouse finale from up above, the Carnival also. I can imagine a House of Mirrors in the Carnival but that wouldn't work well at all and was just a thought not intended for serious suggestion.

Carnival finale could end in the Carnival in the Haunted House section or something. Not sure what they could be waiting for though, only things seem to be Cable Cars and Busses.

Other various locations that pop to mind (but won't necessarily work) are things like a Submarine, Mines, Movie Theatre, Holiday Resort, Luxury Cruise Ship, Manufacturing Factory (Cars? Chocolate?), or something like a Nuclear Silo (Somehow).

That sounds pretty interesting, would love to see that finished.

Keep us posted man :).

[xen3000]

I definitely like the idea of a tropic resort/cruise line movie. Maybe even have them interconnected. Have the name be something real campy like "Apocalypse in Paradise".

A suburban neighborhood movie would be awesome too. Possibly leading to a school/college campus.

A nuclear silo would be an epic finale location. Allows you to fight through a military base beforehand as well. That is classic zombie movie stuff.

Just try to keep it off the internet as much as possible, I wouldn't like to see anybody i know get arrested for terrorism

[Codename_ZEX]

I think a great campaign/movie would be a prison/jail.

Imagine this: You are in a relatively large prison full of inmates. All the bars open suddenly, the security guards apparently gone are gone, and the inmates walk out of their cells. Then, a few seconds later, after brief confusion the absence of security guards is made clear. A door on the bottom floor opens [you are observing from the third floor] and a horde of 20-30 zombies charges in. The four survivors [who are in mates] run to the right and into a well secured locker room [safe room]. They change into civilian clothes and grab medpacks which are also in the locker room. There is an open door that connects to the armory in which they can pick up weapons (shotguns and and sub-machine guns are over kill for a jail but who is gonna complain?). In the armory there is another door[safe room door] which is the way to start campaign/movie. The survivors leave and find that in the last 10 minutes that all the inmates have been zombiefied. Time to go on an orange jumpsuit shooting spree!

After they exit the prison/jail you can do what ever you want. I just think that would be an awesome start (first chapter) to a very flavorful campaign/movie.

-Anyone may make full use of this idea without my permission so long as I am acknowledged some where in the campaign/movie... credits, safe house wall, a billboard... whatever

[Stubbs]

free roam i am legend one where it has one map which is finallie and you gather supplies for a time limit from city during day time. Only zombies inside building that die in sunlight, with skins that make them look like from movie.

then after timelimit go to starting house again and call some sort of aircraft carrier escape vehicle where survivors run cross city at night to carrier.

[Funky Biscuits]

O bowling alley

[jaydawg116]

rich persons neighborhood, rapture (http://ui31.gamespot.com/1854/wallpaperbioshock1280x800d.jpg), nazi zombie mode map (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AkR_xmLcBM), and dont forget this map (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0)

[greenonion]

OMG LETS HAVE AN UNDERWATER MAP WHERE FISHES ARE THE ZOMBIE HORD!!!

We could have to make it to the coral reef right, but we get caught up by jellyfish (BOOMERS), and the tanks could be SHARKS... and the hunter could be ONE OF THEM FISH WITH A LIGHT ON ITS HEAD... and the smoker could be A TURTLE WITH WORMS...

my god.

i'm fucking amazing.

[MP_Specter]

<NAME HERE>

1. SUBURBS Start off in a house in the suburbs. Move through the street and several houses to a pond.
2. WATER PURIFICATION PLANT. A sewer pipe in the pond leads you to a water purification plant
3 MALL. Go across the street into a mall. An indoor mall, with several shops everywhere. Connects to a parking lot and a highway.
4. HIGHWAY. Move across a highway, and several connecting streets and shops. Leads to industrial docks across the bay, with like cranes and shit.
5. INDUSTRIAL DOCKS. With all the cargo shit. Move through the stuff. FINALE - Escape by large freight boat, or tug boat. Defend while the boat pulls up it's anchor and pulls out.

[masterblaze0]

An industrial, gearpunk inspired factory. That would be amazing.

[one of them]

WHY THE FUCK DID YOU STEAL MY AVATAR!?

But more on topic:
I already plan on making a Vegas Casino/Hotel. It will be a fictional hotel that is known to be one of the most massive and luxurious hotels in the world. On every 20th floor is a Mini-Casino filled with slots, a bar, and tables.
The 2nd floor will contain a bigger casino. Most of the time you will make your way through hotel rooms, suites, all that shit. The finale will take place in an Arcade across the street.

Forgive the shittyness of the poster. It took me about 10 minutes. :P

I also want to be able to control the director in some ways (Hopefully SDK will have some tools I can use for this) such as making the lights go out for brief periods of time. I'm talking anything from 30 seconds, to 10 minutes. And it would happen randomly, in different spots every time.
The darkness would be so great that even flashlights can barely light the hallways.

[dragondraven]

well i actually planned to make the resident evil raccon incident i'll say this much i am doing the orignal map the ps version the gc version is to much to map and expect people to run through it all. but i got it figured to how i am going to map it but it will take a while it will be quite detailed with a few surprises of coruse. but my oringal idea is called redneck hell.starts in a huge trailer park and ends in a bowling alley. but the details in the middle are the fun part.

[L4D_gothicHorror13]

the gc version is to much to map and expect people to run through it all.

u do the gc version and ill get l4d for pc just to play it id go through the whole fucking house xD

edit: how about sinking freakin cruise ship xD. Survivors start in the bottom of the ship in the back of the ship. the captin comes on the speakers and requests that any survivors head up to the bridge and wait to get rescued by the helicopter so they have to head up to the helipad OR wait for another boat to come save em. lolz

[theghoul22]

Prison w/ prison orange jumpsuit zombies ftw ?

Also, it would be amazing if someone mapped a part of NYC inch by inch

well i could try the gc one but with how much they added it would be not just a movie but a epic campaign cause i'll do the woods and the main mansion on one map and i plan to make it where you would have to run through the whole house.but then there is the shack area which only was needed for the 357 and the daughter monster and does not have no other purpose and the graveyard to drop the super zombie so i wanted to omit those areas but the rest is possible from gc since it tied to everywhere else.ethier way i will say this the map will be epic cause it's going to be freaking huge it will be on the same scale that the dawn of the dead map is.

cause it will be the woods which is not much i'll add the downed heli and the run to the manson. then the full manson,storage house, garden, pool house, well,cave,the lab, and the rush to the heli pad.plus alot more that is there just touching the main things right now but all i am waiting on is the sdk to release cause i need to see how the map layout deal works with the safe areas and such but i have started on the detailing running through the game so i can make it as close as possible.

the sinking ship ideal i like alot actually i'll see if i can map it or get a friend of mine to it sounds like it can be fun.kinda make it scale about the size of the titanic lol and yes we will make a leo skin zombie for you to shoot even cause your gf dragged you to that movie :). if there is anymore ideals out there i'd love to hear them.cause so far the main ones i have seen is the dod aka mall and a couple others here and there.the space ideal i considered before actually but i would want to do a weightless area and not sure if i can do that with source but i'll try :).

[gMn]

What about &quot;Dead Set&quot; (UK series) remake???
I like the idea with Big Brother :)
