Somethings to note - The sun is over bills head signaling his passing - There are zombies arms under the sacrifice sign - The survivors are stood on the finale bridge -Steam, VALVe, Source, LEFT 4 DEAD, LEFT 4 DEAD 2
One story must end for another to begin and in this case the Left4Dead1 survivor’s story had ended as shown in the comics for after the passing they went to the island Bill told them about and now we have the Left4Dead2 survivors barely making it on their journey
Bill: End of the line sweeties, grab some gear and lets go. Zoey: Great maybe we can meet some new people leave them behind Bill: Zoey i aint leaving anyone behind
I love the transition to the left 4 dead 2 music at 1:15, carrying the torch of hope and survival. The jaded survivors of left 4 dead one are now through with their story, it’s time for the cast for left 4 dead two to go forward
the campaign when the survivors meet is even called "the passing" like passing the torch and even the achievement is called "torch bearer" it could also mean them passing by eachother or the passing of bill
The best game ever The best map ever The best soundtrack ever The best survivors ever ( Especially Francis, he is the best from the best ) I love this game
Pffy it's funny that Bill said the line "You wanna know who uses fuel for a generator? Idiots" Foreshadowing which foreshadows the survivors from Left 4 dead 2
To my knowledge, the only other songs with vocals are the menu theme, end credits theme, Blood Harvest theme, and the death theme. The end credits theme and Blood Harvest theme are ends, the end of a campaign, and the old end of the survivors journey. The menu theme and death theme are also ends, but more morbid ones. The death theme showing the end of your survivor, and the menu theme showing the end of the world. The Sacrifice's vocals sound like multiple singers trying to syncronise with each other insead of the previous music where everything is in tune. It's almost like two types of endings trying to play out with each other. Survival and death. An end for an end. Or it could just be eerie vocals to signal somethings going to go wrong and I'm overthinking it. It's more fun to go into depth though, right?
One of the most depressing campaign ever made for a video game. The Passing DLC came first and it's reveal Bill's death in a surprising, shocking and unannounced to you. Just finding his corpse next to the generator with the other three told you nothing about him. Especially since the last thing you remember about L4D1 crew is that they're supposedly escaped with the military in Blood Harvest. Then The Sacrifice DLC was release afterward and you now have play and finishing the campaign knowing that it's not going to end well and someone is going to die.
I played The Passing first, not knowing who the others were at all. They briefly mentioned "Bill," but I had no clue who this Bill was. Then later I played all L4D1 campaigns on my own. It all clicked once at the finale of The Sacrifice. It was the exact same level as The Passing finale. Once everyone was on the bridge and I thought we were done, someone had to leave and "sacrifice" themselves. I will not play this campaign with friends. I just hate how it ends.
I thought the title meant something secret or whatever. Didn't cross my mind until I reached the port. When I exited the tunnel and saw the streets as well as that one bridge from The Passing, the first thing that I said out loud was, "WAIT! WHAT THE HELL?! THIS IS THE PORT FROM THE PASSING?? OH MY GOD, WHAT?!" Then once I finished the campaign and everyone was up top on the bridge, I thought we were done. Then it said that "Someone has to restart the generator..." Oh, okay, no big deal. Climb down, get it, not die to zombies, climb up, win. Once on the ground, the director said "Looks like a one way trip!" ...huh? I started the generator again and suddenly Zoey was swarmed by zombies, which incapped her and promptly killed her, with control being stripped. I was in shock. It made total sense after that, seeing as how The Passing starts off with the three others saying that they "lost a man." It hit harder because the first time I ever played The Passing, I had no clue who these other characters were. I wasn't told at first. Later on, I found out they were the cast from the first game, which I said, "oh hey, that's pretty cool!" At that point, I didn't know there was supposed to be someone else, too. I know its cliche to have every main character live the entire story, but I really did grow attached to Bill. I imagine somewhere out there is an alternate reality where he did end up making it, where the generator didn't have to be restarted. The L4D2 crew meets all four of them, and Coach and Bill see they have a lot in common. Perhaps, despite the original crew being asymptomatic carriers, all eight of them travel to New Orleans together. How cool would it have been to legitimately play all the campaigns with all eight survivors, situation specific dialogue and all? Or maybe still four, but you could mix the two groups? Why the hell am I getting emotional over a video game character? I just wanted them to get out alright. I know for a damn fact Zoey took it horribly.
@@Shady_Inktail It's late, and because your comment put me in your shoes I'm really feeling everything right now. The haunting vocals of the sacrifice campaign, and the despair that comes with the world of L4D really makes me appreciate the story valve created. The journey the survivors had to trek through and with the added context of the sacrifice comics is just so much. and for it to end that way is truly apocalyptic. I'm pretty sure I'm speaking nonsense but I'm honestly glad you experienced the game that way. The way you started from the happy go lucky L4D2, to the gloomy and atmospheric L4D1 is just so cool. The tone shift from fun to serious and for it to have a depressing ending is the way the game should be experienced i feel. it hits twice as hard then the "off to the sunset" ending the L4D2 crew has. Even then they were probably executed by the miliary, judging by the graffiti on the walls in the parish campaign and how the general populace holds a fear and hatred for carriers. Either way, great comment, really got me thinking. I'm glad you shared your experience.
Это музыка показывает, что все, конец наступает, всё депрессивно, всё в отчаяние, а потом идут уже басы из l4d2, показывая, что что-то заканчивается, но что-то начинается.
I got this from Valve’s ‘The Sacrifice’ Comic Final issue Francis to Louis and Zoey: “COVER ME IM GETTIN THE OLD MAN!” Zoey to Francis: “Francis...He’s gone.” Francis to Zoey: “I SAID COVER ME IM GETTIN BILL!” Zoey to Francis: “FRANCIS! If you go down there then he died for Nothing!” Francis: “Goddamnit.” Zoey to Francis and Louis: “Keep an eye out for Smokers and stay quiet. The horde’ll disperse.” Bill to Himself about Zoey: “Everytime i think she’s safe. I can rest but then there you are. Again and again. And i have to keep fighting just to make her safe again.” Bill to the Tanks: *”EAT FIRE GODDAMNED ANIMALS!”*
Hey Bill I got the part of the train something about a boat and keys, but I forgot the part where we're stranded in the middle of GOD DAMN NOWHERE! - Francis
I’ve played many games, and none have conveyed the feeling of sheer, unrelenting dread that Left 4 Dead does. Even Breath of the Wild, taking place in a post-apocalyptic world doesn’t convey the same feeling of loneliness. In Left 4 Dead, there’s only you, and the remains of the population of innocents turned mindless attack drones.
Can't believe I never noticed the bridge segment above their heads is presented in a way that almost looks like a Crucifix. Combined with the sun behind Bill acting as a convenient Halo, this is fantastic Jesus-like imagery for Bill. After all, he too would make the ultimate sacrifice.
fun fact:you can sacrifice as any character. also is there a cutscene for when someone else sacrifices and you survive or do you always see them dying?
also to answer your question, the cutscenes essentially play out the same regardless of what character you sacrifice as. the difference only comes with the dialogue of the characters, and yes the person who ends up sacrificing themselves always end up dying.
Bill was always my go to pick just because he lead the group trying to find hope and even sacrificed himself so that the rest of his group survives a true hero of the apocalypse.
Bill: There defensable francis, as far as i know zombies can't swim. Francis: There not the only one. (Looks at bill) Bill: Speak up son! Francis: Hey!? I hate this plan
It started when the survivors escaped the tank and ended with taking 3 tanks to take down the old man. What a legend! Ps. I attempted to fight 3 tanks with bots in a custom campaign and it sucked real bad
When i was 11 or 12 i guess, i played L4d1 in an internet cafe , not caring about the story and didn't even think about it but i was having fun ( and getting scared by special infected), the only thing that i know was the characters, i was only playing no mercy over and over cause i didn't know there's more chapters. when my dad bought a pc i downloaded L4D2 and found out that there's more chapters and i played "the passing" still doesn't care about the story , and when i found out bill's body i was shocked, furious, i was gonna tear up ( still i wss 12 or 11) i was repeating : GRANDPA DIED NOOOOO, GRANDPA DIED NOOOOOO
