Apologies if that has been covered before.

I would prefer a confirmation from Valve rather than Kotaku/l4dmods but its good news if its true.

weapon? ok zombie with guns. can?

i love mod-able co-op games !

1. Replace Zombie horde with Orc horde
2. Replace specials with Ogres, Trolls, Goblins, etc.
3. Replace weapons with crossbow, bow, staff, swords, hammer, mace
4. Replace survivors with Dwarf, Elf Chick, Barbarian, Goth Chick
5. Make awesome dungeons
6. Profit

Who is with me?

so you have 3 fantasy characters and some chick who goes to hot topic?

oh, ok. Here come the critics. "Goth" is maybe the wrong choice of words. Rogue, leather and robes, dressed in black, brooding personality, that type of shit.

An LOTR mod would be EPIC!! Mines of Moria mothafucka!

I'm gonna change it up so you're in Willy Wonka's factory and Umpa Lumpa's attack.....

It would be awesome. Did you play DnD: Shadow over Mystara? It's an arcade DnD game. I was dreaming about a mod like that actually since the first L4D

Jesus thats the creepiest thing I've ever seen Eraserhead.

Teletubbies! That is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111!!11!!1!

- Different weapons (Steyr AUG ohplzgod!)
- ability to play as common infected when waiting for respawn
- some kind of command system for the bots so they're a little less retarded
- flag dead zombie bodies so you can keep gibbing them (I seriously hope someone does this, soon)

This may be the perfect opportunity for my hooligan mod idea.

"Survivors" are four football (soccer) referees, dressed appropriately.

"Zombies" are football fan hooligans, and shout things like "Get those bastards in the black"

"Witches" are WAGS crying about being dumped by their boyfriends

You get the idea.

The one and only mod I would love to create or see made!

-Playable Midnight Riders!!!!

There's rumors around that Valve is gonna make that a DLC for L4D2.

FPS Diablo - yes!

actually thought a mod about TMNT or X-men (or some superhero group) would be neat, similar to the one doc rob had. Foot Soldiers/Humans you must fight off, the boss infected would be like Rock Steady and Bebop or the Brotherhood mutants. Finales would be setup similar to boss fights in old sidescrolling beat'em ups where whoever is controlling the boss infected had set places where they could spawn more minions unless the super heroes could defend them and take their health down in the process. Basically to replicated the patterns a Boss in a sidescroller would make.

The AI director really leaves up a lot of ideas for anything. I cool biological game on a celluar level would be sweet too.

Sorry, was morning stoned. Couldn't resist the comment. Goth makes me think of hot topic failures.

I was thinking of a space mod. Cliche, but who cares? If there's space in it, I'm in.

1. Play as 4 space marines in suits.
2. Guns are some futuristic whatchamacallits.
3. Common infected are some crawling aliens.
4. ????
5. profit

rings a whole world of new settings like derelict spacecrafts, abandoned planetary stations, alien planets as well - you name it.

I have been longing to make a space map for L4D for quite a while now, set it an Earth-orbiting station, a Titanic of sorts with everything you want. It would serve as a prelude to the outbreak of infection of sorts.

The biggest problem is time. Something new like that would require a shitton of new art and the map itself would take a lot of time to make. In addition, it would be hard to fit it all since the 4 characters couldn't have known each other prior to the first map.

Alien Swarm mod for Ut2004 was very similar to that but a top down view. You had a team/ coop of 4 people, alien infestation at space outposts/ships, and you could weld doors shut during 'horde' rushes. They were transfering the mod to Source, in 2007 but then they disappeared. Wonder how many possibly worked on L4D.

Would love to see a in orbit from earth map though, be interesting for sure.

I can't argue with the logic and I think it would be super succesful but I'd sooner throw myself off a cliff than contribute to yet another generic LOTR fantasy game. I think I threw up a bit in my mouth just thinking about it. Surely someone on this planet can come up with an alternative to orcs, yes?

Heck, if would be more original if it really was a goth game, and that's just pathetic.

sounds like space hulk

I'm putting this out here now so I don't forget.

I have a couple of very close, professional, level designer friends who would gladly do a mod with me. What if.. thats... WHAT IF... we, as a community, were to do a mod for L4D2? I'd put in the time to organize it, etc. etc. We (meaning myself and whomever else helps ORGANIZE) would have to come up with a solid design that would be of interest to you guys, as artists. The couple designers I know would come on board to work in Source (they're Source engine pro's) to build the levels.

We would, of course, need some quality control so we're not getting everyone and their mothers on Polycount submitting artwork.

Anyway, just a thought that I will think more in to during the holidays.

Sorry, I thought it would go without saying that we would try to not make it crappy. Saying orcs are generic is like saying zombies are generic. . . of course it all depends on the execution.

Adam, that's a good idea! Even building a campaign with new props/textures would be an awesome experience for people like me. I'd love to take part if I can get over the quality bar
