I saw the strangest circumstance the other day on that finale map. Me and 3 other randoms online had just set up 2 on stage 2 on the platforms on stairs and as the concert was started it immediately ended the chopper came in tanks were spawned and we had to make a desperate rush for heli. Got some achievement aswell for not leaving stage during the whole fight, in all the years I played this game never seen that happen...
What I find even more impressive than the speed run gameplay is the research and knowledge of the inner workings of the games they speed run. Great job on the videos too.
I don't speed run and barely know anything about this particular map but I find speed runs fascinating because they're at the essence of trying to master something and be the best at it using every single thing to your advantage in an obsessive manner. And it shatters the notion that gaming is something unambitious losers do, which is a shaming tactic usually engaged in by parents or close family members. I think it's important to succeed in the real world as well, but this can be a big part of it. If you apply this type of passion and meticulous dedication in any area of life I think you stand a great shot at success. Of course, life is not a video game and there are many more variables but i think it still holds true.
Correction at 11:00 It kicks everyone that is still inside the area and not just the safe room Because the shutter door closes and Everything inside will despawn/kick because its in a spot no one can access For the multiplayer/versus, it is patched but in some cases it still kicks the player/infected
The tick and the input part was really interesting, i grew up playing every valve game under the sun except the left 4 dead games, which I picked up in my 20s so it even felt different and know I know why. I’d been conditioned to expect things to be a certain way, but it’s different in left 4 dead 2 that is too cool.
It may also have to do with L4D being made by Turtle Rock instead of Valve internally, and L4D2 reused a lot of the original game's code and assets, so is probably why it inherited some of its quirks.
Oh you haven't seen nothing yet when it comes to "oddly specific" things in valve games. Go watch LazyPurple's video "How it feels to suffer in SFM" where he talks about the making of his "How it feels to play engineer" video. The god damn wrangler laser is haunted by the ghost of a dark machine god.
It's not that odd actually. Finales are designed in a way where the players can't go back to the saferoom during a finale. Like the elevator in the deadcenter finale, and that jump to the helicopter landing zone in no mercy. In the concert, it's pretty flat on the ground so when a player triggers the finale, that passage way from the saferoom to the stage closes. Having a surivivor stay there while 1 player triggers the finale will kick those who stayed back.
@@iseya3400 To remove not only the player from the lobby but the character itself though is a strange choice vs teleporting said player to a set point in the finale or simply killing them without deleting the character
Actually for the Boomer Bile, I've picked one up on the finale, in one of the toilets... it's EXTREMELY rare to find one beyond Map 1. And whenever I play the campaign Solo or Co-Op.... I hold on to that bile until the finale to distract the Commons from the copter. And I also pray I find an Adrenaline and Chainsaw early... to rush ahead for map 4 xD
This was insane! Great coverage. The bunny hops remind me of the Super Mario RPG 100 Super Jump challenge. So the cinematic like footage is from spectating him running it seems?
so weird for me to see any l4d content of any type nowadays. l4d1 is my fav game of all times but i think im just more nostalgic for the time period it came from then actually missing the game itself anymore
I never knew the helicopter could spawn on the side you enter from. I don't know how many times i've played this map but it has only ever spawned on the opposite side.
Came here from Dante's speed run challenge video, anyway awesome video. I've never seen anyone do anything like this. Really cool information and video
1:03 "each campaign consists of multiple maps. usually somewhere from 2 to 5"" Continues to show Last Stand and Swamp Fever as examples. Swamp Fever has 4 maps though! :'D
I loved speedrunning this game. Asides from halo 1 and 2 the only game I've ever speed ran. I speed ran it on expert lol don't remember what my records are but after watching the Leroy Jenkins speed runs I had to try, got addicted to it.
nice vid i think personally you should have included everything in one vid or a sum it up kind of thing TLDR. At the roller coaster part you pretty much just refer to a whole separate video when it would have easily been fitting to showcase it here for the extra content and for those unaware especially if theyre just watching a video that randomly comes onto their feed.
@WaifuRuns i really wanna try speedrunning l4d2 but i need help i dont know how to setup the resources like campaign vote cycle and i cant find a tutorial for it
Saw the mouse outline explaining the mouse wheel jump, I was like. I know that mouse? then picked mine up and placed it agasint the outline, yup the G502 Hero 😂😂
@@WaifuRuns This fucking sucks. I wish The Last Stand was never introduced. Why ruin part of the fun that has been in the game for years by removing harmless glitches?
@@rayhoodoo847 Some of this glitches were unfixed in campaign. Like skiping rollercoaster or jumping over the bus in first level. (Competitive modes and survival are still fixed)
@@rayhoodoo847 Yeah it sucks, Some of the glitches used to be harmfull but it was fun, There was a glitch wich you can one shot ur teammate when you shoot them with grenade launcher and go idle before grenade hits the target.
Fantastic video as always, though I believe you used Swamp Fever as an example of a campaign with 5 levels. I believe this also happened in the Parish video as well. Was this intentional, or just a mistake in editing?

I thought the parish is the most rng map this run is so lucky
In normal gameplay, yes.
In terms of speedrun however, no.
Good voice and good explanation in words and visuals. Looking forward to more speedrun explanations

These games will forever be a favourite of mine. I don’t normally watch speedruns or really any gaming content but as soon as I saw L4D I had to click

I really appreciate these videos where you break things down, I'm not a new player by any means but still don't know tons about speedrunning

@@iseya3400 Plus based on what he said it only deletes the character if they’re downed, which makes me think they’d be teleported otherwise
First time seeing left 4 dead gameplay since playing it when I was like 12 years old. The graphics seemed so real back then
Wow what an in depth, fantastic explanation! You could teach a class on this. Great job.
that's why I felt scrolling to bhop was so hard compared to pressing space, thanks man, I thought I had a problem with my mouse
Best game ever with friends. I have so many memories of playing this and MW2 back in the day.
It blows my non gaming mind how people find all of these little tricks to save save milliseconds here and there.
You ever heard of parallel universes in super mario 64?
The commentary had me laughing the whole way through!
That tank is bustin some moves at 10:10
