@@saarebas. We have the enthusiasm to explore the game. Maybe 6 years ago, I'd say that I just playing for fun, but now everything has changed... This game enough complex, developed by many people and many things are hidden still and waiting for us. Many potential cool ideas in awaiting of their opening.
Ngl but you guys are so bloody crazy that you were able to complete almost entire campaign in less than a min (almost). Idk if I should be surprised, excited, or Dk but dam awesome speed run!
I've been rewatching this video over and over again since the day it came out. I was 17 years old then, I'm 20 now. I still can't get over how passionate the L4D community is in all ways, whether it's getting extremely long survival times, completing the maps in the fastest time or being one of the best aimers and trackers in Versus mode. The community just some how knows how to add some pizazz to the game and push it beyond the limits we know it as. While I find enjoyment in playing L4D1/L4D2 in a casual setting with friends/family, goofing off on different maps, spamming voicelines and getting stupidly killed by Witches and Tanks, having the honor to watch masters of their craft show us work that has been in the works for years and years, display it to us all and show integral parts as to how this came about is such an amazing pleasure I've gotten to experience since I bought Left 4 Dead 1 and Left 4 Dead 2 on steam. To the noa1mbot family, Shine, poi, NoSkillch, Steve, Shadow, and it's fellows, CRIVE and nightinside. I thank you, not just for what you do, but for what you provide for the L4D community, what you bring to the table and what you do to inspire other people to not just speedrun L4D, but to inspire a goal to speedrun in other games, to have an incentive to do more than goof off with your friends on maps. Watching this video for some reason brings some tears to the eyes, maybe it's because this game still has a beating heart even after 15 years of it's existence, and videos/community, and challenges like this keep the blood pumping for more to come, but I digress. I feel like I can speak of behalf of everyone when I say here... Thank you noa1mbot, thank you for what you do and for what you provide, thank you for going beyond the scope, thank you for not giving up on this project and thank you for inspiring others, including myself and friends. Much love from America here! And most importantly, much love from around the world! Axo

This is so skilful and not at the same time, the dedication and precision to make these skips and plays is unreal and coordination is insane but at the same time I think TAS speed runs take a lot of the fun out of game and makes it less enjoyable to watch as it’s never viable in any game, still tho the amount of effort going into to this is insane and I really do applaud the effort from everyone
Forgive me if this is a dumb question but how do games as rng heavy as undead get TAS'ed I mean isnt a TAS a pre recorded set of movements played back in real time on a seperate run? If so wouldnt any slight varience cause things to go askew? Like a singular stray zombie hit or such, and even outside of left for dead there seem to be TASes of other rng heavy games as well and I just dont understand how it works
TAS just means tools were used to create the run. Tools such as: Pausing, slowing down the game so that reaction speed isn't a factor in the speed that a game can be run. Save states so that you can save and load the game's state at will, giving you as many attempts to try something that might require many attempts to perform. As well as tools that allow performing specific inputs or to gain information about the game's or player's state (velocity, angle, location in the form of coordinates etc.)
Thanks for you question. Yes, the TAS is pre-recorded: map script, player's inputs, spawns are saved in files. You can run the script in real time and get a super play. In a nutshell, the creation process looks like: *routing > script building > demo recording > video recording* And also, yes, definitely, some infected that spawned by RNG (if we previously didn't save them on the map) could break the script and then the segment getting invalid. Usually, during TAS recording, no matter what game, human monitors the process and in case of aberration, the process can be rewritten. Originally, in L4D2 saves aren't available, only between saferooms - these are original 55 segments (maps/chapters) by the developers, where you may split your speedrun and re-record something inside the segment. So how do we deal with that heavy RNG presence? We were building a script for each map separately. An entire map/segment can be fully scripted and restarted/playback unlimited times in fast forward until a saferoom is successfully reached. The script will be restarted, if the operator seen some kind of issues during playback (like unlucky spawn by infected, incorrect boost by projectiles or something else that looks weird, non-natural). Mainly, such a script included de-RNG'ed initial infected spawns, Tanks spawns, items spawns, saved survivors movements, boosts, timings etc.
@@ryuk6750 Unfortunately, it takes a lot of time to save each infected spawn, make perfect each player's movement and make full optimize at all. During creation of TAS in that time there wasn't quite profitable to provide in-map saves as it the game was already divided on 55 segments and it's pretty suited. Also in general, we didn't want to increase Project's deadline and were avoiding the development of complex tools whenever possible. We tried to not focus on recording inputs for a long. Our goal was show optimal for its time speedrun.
Completely agree with you. Originally, that video commentary planned before speedrun release, as a short variant. So much details were, as it turned out, so we decided to postpone it indefinitely and release a full-fledged version instead. We see proper interest to such a video, so it should be soon. Thanks for your message.
I actually pulled off a bunny hop while jumping off a zombie for the first time while playing this years ago it blew my mind and I could never pull it off again.
*FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (Quick FAQ)*
UPD: 8th December, 2022
*Q: Hacks are used in this speedrun?*
A: This speedrun is tool-assisted (TAS), many tricks were scripted as well as used various plugins for help in recording (foremost check out this article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool-assisted_speedrun, if you're still not familiar with such type of speedruns). We doesn't violate fundamentals: everything that you can repeat in the real game, that won't change game mechanic and achievable - allowed to be scripted. The speedrunning community creates TAS to demonstate briliant gameplay, mostly for intertainment and of course doesn't set the goals to compete with speedrun.com leaderboards.
*Q: **50:56** - Aimbot?*
A: Aimbot in the context of the tool-assisted speedruns is not a cheat, vice-versa it's necessary for use to done finale maps faster. It's quite allowed if not configured e.g. to change weapon spread factor or recoil, that will be impossible to achive in real game, as just flicks at targets like us case. In general, aimbots were rarely implemented in speedruns, however you can often meet all sorts of crazy (frame-by-frame) camera moves in other TAS videos.
*Q: Where is the Last Stand campaign, why didn't you include it?*
A: Speedrun completed before the Last Stand major update, there wasn't such campaign yet.
*Q: Where is the video commentary with explanation?*
A: We are very apologize for these delays. Video commentary with full speedrun explanation will be published in the nearest future.

@@bitkomet Oh I see, but what about say TASbot runs from GDQ which just play the inputs back
Thanks for you question.
Yes, the TAS is pre-recorded: map script, player's inputs, spawns are saved in files. You can run the script in real time and get a super play. In a nutshell, the creation process looks like: *routing > script building > demo recording > video recording*
And also, yes, definitely, some infected that spawned by RNG (if we previously didn't save them on the map) could break the script and then the segment getting invalid.
Usually, during TAS recording, no matter what game, human monitors the process and in case of aberration, the process can be rewritten. Originally, in L4D2 saves aren't available, only between saferooms - these are original 55 segments (maps/chapters) by the developers, where you may split your speedrun and re-record something inside the segment.
So how do we deal with that heavy RNG presence?
We were building a script for each map separately. An entire map/segment can be fully scripted and restarted/playback unlimited times in fast forward until a saferoom is successfully reached. The script will be restarted, if the operator seen some kind of issues during playback (like unlucky spawn by infected, incorrect boost by projectiles or something else that looks weird, non-natural).
Mainly, such a script included de-RNG'ed initial infected spawns, Tanks spawns, items spawns, saved survivors movements, boosts, timings etc.
@@noa1mbot Did some zombies spawn randomly? I'm curious, were in-map saves implemented, similar to HL2, by the way?
@@ryuk6750 Unfortunately, it takes a lot of time to save each infected spawn, make perfect each player's movement and make full optimize at all.
During creation of TAS in that time there wasn't quite profitable to provide in-map saves as it the game was already divided on 55 segments and it's pretty suited. Also in general, we didn't want to increase Project's deadline and were avoiding the development of complex tools whenever possible. We tried to not focus on recording inputs for a long. Our goal was show optimal for its time speedrun.

Imagine play against this team....
Just as I discover this channel, it goes back up after ten months of inactivity. A bit earlier would’ve made me think this was dead lmao
it's not that dead, there are (almost daily) streams from noskillch on this channel
It would be amazing to hear commentary explaining all the little tricks and exploits being used
Completely agree with you.
Originally, that video commentary planned before speedrun release, as a short variant. So much details were, as it turned out, so we decided to postpone it indefinitely and release a full-fledged version instead. We see proper interest to such a video, so it should be soon.
Thanks for your message.
@@noa1mbot yay, we waiting for it soon then.
@@noa1mbot This is great news! Looking forward to this.
@@noa1mbot any plan to upload the documentary video for this speedrun?
Never thought you can use a zombie head like a trampoline.
I've been playing source games since before I could read and write, but I still don't know how louis started ascending on no mercy finale
i think if somehow a spitter projectile doesnt disappear then standing on it makes you float up
I have too much spare time to watch this in one seating
im a huge fan of u guys ❤ keep up the great work.
If one day zombies attack these guys are our best chance !
バーガータンクの看板を点灯させただけでラッシュ起こるの設定破綻しててすき
Doctor: all dreams have meaning. My dreams:
Спасибо за перезалив, такое чудо не должно кануть в Лету!
still fucking amazed at the no mercy finale, jumping to despawn or ? the tanks lmao
and finishing the 4th map in 0 seconds holy shit
@@pivad1388 dude i'm still wondering how they skipped the hospital entirely
@@worldsmostevilman in the previous chapter, they defibbed on the exact position of the next chapter's end saferoom
I actually pulled off a bunny hop while jumping off a zombie for the first time while playing this years ago it blew my mind and I could never pull it off again.
the first minute is already confusing, watching the entire Speedrun is mind blowing.
