anyone tried the realism mod yet?

i played last night with 3 other friends it was really fun actually. way harder. massive change to the core game however. no crosshairs. no flashlight. random spawns now more random. it made the game actually pretty scary.

[HienoKaveri]

How can there be mods already, when they haven't even released the SDK? Or is that mandatory to have? Stupid question maybe but I'm not a coder...

[fishing4ducks]

I think its like a config mod or something like that, changing the spawn locations for things and the hitboxes on stuff (i think its hs only on zombies??)

I watched the video for it last night and was going to play it but didn't have the time, will prob get it tonight though; nice to know its multiplayer as well! although I bet it would be sh*t scary on your own in the dark!!!

[SteadyEddy]

I might get it, myself and friends still have difficulty with Expert, though, which normally ends in raging.

[RATT]

ive seen the video of it. it actually does look scary. not able to play it rite now without a working cpu to run it =( it was kinda funny when the zombies r running full speed yet they r going slower hahah err what i meant by that is it looks like they r jobbing in place =o

[Creflo]

Realism?

I don't have the PC ver, so I haven't seen this, but in my book, such a mod would include:
- limit on all ammo including pistol.
(have you ever carried 128 shotgun shells?)
- slower reload times
- health pack only stops the bleeding
- dead = dead

[silverx2]

realisim mod = no zombies. just you running through nothingness with dead bodies all around.

[Eagle112]

good horror has one other worldly thing (zombies, vamps, mean spirited traffic barriers) and the rest is the same. So really the realistic mode would have zombies... also ITS A GAME.

[mega808]

Are you referring to this realism mod? (http://izzopop.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=201:l4dm&catid=35:l4d&Itemid=64) Or is there another one out?

[Knights]

Flashlights aren't real then, eh? lol?

Sorry, I forgot 'realism' in gaming means 'making the game stupid hard for no reason.'

[iKissedABoomer]

win.

[omgwtfbbq1]

Why? for gods sakes slower zombies? their rabid like in 28 weeks later they can run, and no flashlight? hows that for real? in a real situation I'd duct tape one on my fucking gun

sorry to bash but...the name "realism" shouldn't fit it, why not call it "making your game play more difficult in every way possible" or even "Horror mod" since it makes you more scared eh?

[SCE_Dantalion]

if everything gets harder shouldnt you be able to basicly cripple the zombies to by leg shots ? and then same goes for other limb shots blow off a hand etc ..

[mega808]

no, because in original zombie films - kill the brains = kill the zombies. Anywhere else = fail.

[pwner1992]

But they aint really zombies, are they?

[Fearless]

But they aint really zombies, are they?

They basically are. It's even written on the box.

[pwner1992]

Maybe you can call zombies, but they aint the Living dead for that matter

if you sit in one spot for a long period of time does it turn to daytime? i mean unless all the maps happen in alaska and your in the middle of 30 days of night the game should go from night to day.

what about needing to eat and drink and goto teh bathroom? do you have to maintain food and water or your character slows down/passes out? that would make it harderer. Choose a sandwhich or a medpack!

Also if this is supposed to be more "real" why dont they hotwire one of the cars and just drive to the hospital? Also i hope all friendly fire is instant death, because bullets really hurt and should do 100 damage per hit

yeah, not funny.

[Infest0125]

DL link? I would love to give this a try.

And Mada, don't worry about silver. From the looks of it hes just trolling and/or being a bitch.

[mega808]

if your referring to the realism mod with the link i posted above, then here's the DL link. (http://izzopop.com/index.php?option=com_phocadownload&view=category&id=3:l4d&Itemid=53)

calm down princess, just trying to find out how "real" this real mod is.

Holy shit it's a game!?

[Infest0125]

Where do I save the file to?

And Griever... Don't feed the troll ;)

[LordBhorak]

Hmm.. if the crosshairs are removed, one would assume, that you could use the iron sights? But alas... even the vietnam vet is so incompetent, that he can't. Hip fire ftw apparently, when you're desperate to survive and have a limited supply of ammo.

My opinion: Stupid mod is stupid. I'll wait for the SDK and proper "realism" mods with iron sights etc.

How about Face-palm inducing mode :D

Damn! I knew someone would find the quote.. Well done sir.

Where do you live? Where I run around I dont see dead bodies...

After i got here i stopped reading the other post because of it's win.

is that directed at me? i don't see any indications for a /facepalm

[doku_kai]

Hi, I'm the creator of this mod, and at no point did I state it was a 'realism' mod...

I added a laser sight as iron sights were not an option. Maybe read b4 you slate..

A nice win ...

Edit:

Seem cool, but it wouldn't be a realistic mod. Since the Infected is not a zombie to only die by a headshot ( Resident Evil pl0xr x.x ) ...

[Jaws]

ive got this mod, its hard on your own.

but its really nicely made for a mod befor the sdk is released

[Nemesis_vs_Leon]

it's a cfg mod with edited versions of the official maps, edited to remove the infinite weapon and ammo stashes.

Also, the flashlight is still here, that's what the laser sight is. They just made the flashlight really tiny and red.

It's an awesome mod, but you only ever shoot normal infected.

[Xerosnake90]

Lol at guy on first page saying you should need to eat something. The entire campaign takes probably 40 real time minutes for the survivors. I'm sure they can last that long without slowing down or passing out cuz of fukkin munchies.

[KingKon21]

I'm sure they can last that long without slowing down or passing out cuz of fukkin munchies.
If they can repeatedly take direct punches to the face by something as large as a tank and not die, yeah, im sure they can fight off hunger for a few hours.
