- I have come this far to die now
Here's an extended version of the music I mixed together for this video, with a preview of the next animation set in Hard Rain.
• Nick's Sacrifice Music...
The music is a combination of TF2 movie / L4D2 "zombat" drums with instruments from each L4D2 campaign. The cello cover of L4D's theme can be found here • Left 4 Dead Main Theme...

Don't worry Nick will spawn in when Dark Carnival is loaded in
they’ll find him in a closet sooner or later
@@GibusSpyTF with a clean suit
Nick's death is a lie
KIDDY LAND
Nah man its left 4 marathon
Bill sacrifice himself because he was the oldest in the team.
Nick sacrifice himself because he wanted a redemption of his lifetime crime in his past.
Nick sacrificing himself for the only family he ever had
@@themugman he was someone who had a difficult time trusting anyone. But with how much time they spent together, how many times they covered his ass, how many times he covered theirs. I'll bet he was real close to just shutting up and letting Ellis ramble on about a story of him and his buddy Keith.
Pfft what? Idk what game yall played but nick doesn't give a flying shit about any of the characters, but himself 😂😂 man's is a gambler, and did shit to hurt people.
@@VRVegeta @VRVegeta if he was still that way, he would have left the group way before they got on the parrish chopper, plus he had reasons to leave in that campgain that were not unreasonable yet he stuck with them, that sound like someone who cares only for himself?
@@VRVegetaDude, @themugman is right, he did care about himself in the first map, literally saying that once he gets the chance, he’d leave them with no hesitation. But as time went on, he’d began to trust them, he began to actually care for them. He had a team as a gambler, yet he’d always let them take the blame and run. Now that he’d found a team worth fighting for, he wasn’t going to give that up.
Don't worry they'll find him in a janitor's closet trapped and screaming to open the door
Call of the dead ? Ee
@@HangangThi-rv1gm It's kinda like that in L4D2. 😄Nice nostalgic reference.
@@bigjoegamer nick screaming for you to get the vril device with a very american marine, a drunk soviet, a puking japanense guy, and a doctor who plays with his "golden rod"
nah that didnt work on bill
@@barry-p3x he was dead for real that's why he can't spawn in a closet
I love how Coach Immediately tries to sacrifice himself for Survivors, but Nick stops him and goes there himself
Honestly, Coach seems like the type. But Nick knew Coach was the one best to keep the others going. He could still lead in this situation. Nick is not a leader. Ellis and Rochelle likely couldn't step up to lead.
In the sacrifice comic Louis tries to sacrifice himself for the survivors but Bill stops him and goes there himself.
"Not today, big man. Those two need someone to lead them. And that someone ain't me." _Shoves._
-Nick
"The world doesn't need men like me anymore Coach, but they will need you."
@@fireblast133 I could just as easily see Ellis doing it though.
1. He's a mechanic, if its a problem with a generator he's probably the best bet to solve it quick.
2. In his own words, he "learned to shoot before he learned how to walk" so he'd also realistically be the best bet as far as actually getting it done, and even possibly surviving.
2. He's 23 years old, and all young men dream of dying for a cause.
I guess I'll also add that Nick from the start, was definitely the type to shoot someone else in the foot so he could get away.
The fact that he was the “asshole” became a huge part of their survival
Aw hell no, now Nick is gonna be stuck in Dead by Daylight
Borrowed Time >> Self-Sacrifice
Unbreakable >> Man of Few People
Left Behind >> Doing It Right
Nick will be my main survivor if he's in Dead By Daylight lol
What a horrible fate to be left in such a bad game.

These guys are gonna need a Coach...
Yo why you got the video first
@@Lymade1112 what
@@Grobert4392WowSuchGaming featured some clips of this vid in his last L4D2 vid so yea, thus the question
maybe there’ll be a helicopter made outta chocolate
@@ProxMackintosh ok
0:56 Ellis is firing ahead of the tank to account for bullet travel time, which isn't something to worry about in the game, but it's still a nice little detail. And I like the bullet tracers, too. 😁
Not bullet time but hitbox compensation
@@allensandmi5729 Oh yeah, it could be that instead. It could look about the same as the video shows us, I suppose.
Nick: "They have not come this far. To die now."
*Pushes Rochelle off the bridge*
*NOOOOOO-*
IMAGNIE
0:20 Coach: "Nick, where you going?!"
Nick: "I really need this achievement..." 🗿
"Good Guy Nick"
now we know why he has that achivement name
"Kill Nick"
@@TheFoxy2017 Nah "Good Guy Nick" is better. We all know Nick wouldn't sacrifice himself for some lame achievement. He just needed that impossible achievement. 🗿
@@TheDefault_OfSticknodes oh... i get it...
I love the way ellis just cried for his best friend 😢
Yeah. Ellis really took a liking to him. Even if Nick didn’t consider him his friend. It’s sad regardless.
Nick does consider Ellis a friend, if he and Ellis are the last two survivors, he will make it clear he was joking with him this whole time
@themugman True. Even so, it’s kind of mean to do that. But Ellis doesn’t seem to hold it against him.
@@beesechurger2540 @beesechurger2540 I think thats cause he feels nick is a good person at heart, plus Nick was a conman, not many that ain't a jerk like him
I love how everyone agrees Nick would be the one to sacrifice himself for the team, it just really fits well for his character arc
Coach and Rochelle, the two are mature enough to take Nick's death well. They'll be upset, they'll mourn, but they'll keep their heads in the game.
Poor Ellis is sad to see Nick go, and considering how he sees the survivors? He's not going to take the situation well.
Louis: This is For Bill! ❎
Ellis: This is for Nick !! ✅
New map unlocked:
The Passing ❎
Can we Pass? ✅
Ellis:
That's for Nick, you sons of bitches!
That ones for Nick, zombie bastards!
That one's for you, Nick! Fly high, brother.
(Also)
Can We Pass seems out of line of L4D map names... They're usually One or two words, plus an optional article.
It'd probably be Carrying Over, or something of that element. The Passing is such a perfect title though.

" Pow!, come on y'all, we're doin this for nick!"

Left 4 Dead 2 Nick: “Well at least I made it.”
Left 4 Dead 3 Nick: “Well. At least they made it.”
If a canon L4D2 Sacrifice was made, it would've been some absolutely insane character development for Nick to be the one that does it. Great animation!
Love the little details like the last look Nick gives at Ellis, and the little satisfied laugh Nick does when he realizes that he did everything he could, very Nick of him.
You've made a Nick fan's day, very fire work .
L4d2 players when they subscribe to survivors swap in workshop:
The passing: bill: get down the damn bridge now
Coach: no mr, be respectful
The fact that there is still l4d animations still being made to this day really makes me happy, especially considering how rare it is to actually be getting something this high quality since beejie bean’s series long ago
Atleast he dressed for Funeral..
This is why Nick takes Bill's place in the Character Select menu
Nick is a brave soldier. That's what he wants.
he’s been a bad guy for so long that he need to redeem himself
do yall remember the time where my buddy nick sacrificed himself for the 3 of us, it's crazy that i miss him already. -ellis, probably
"Did I ever tell you 'bout the - No, it's not a Keith story. I was with my friends, Coach and Ro, and we were in Rayford, trying to get to a bridge as we fought through zombies, 'cause we wanted to go find a deserted island to live in. 'Course, that never worked out, but we had to turn on these generators to power the bridge and lower it. Then we had to raise that shit, and it jammed halfway through. I saw Coach go to sacrifice himself, but our buddy Nick, he... He did the job for everyone. He said he hated me a lot of times, but we were just starting to warm up... I miss you, Nick..."

@@yazidefirenze That incredibly accurate. That’s definitely something Ellis would say.

@@Soundwave-115 facts tho lol
Still waiting for Half life 3 as well ❤
Nick smiling and having the last breath probably meant that he knows that he couldn't make it
RIP NICK
For the longest time I'd feel like this is a fitting end for Nick's Arc in L4D Lore. Sacrificing for the team so that others can live, just as Bill did exactly that as he knew what he signed up for. If you want more stuff like this? There's a custom campaign at the Steam Workshop titled 2019 II Director's Cut. You will not regret it and believe me when I tell you this, please play Nick in that custom campaign. Very highly recommendable.
Gonna try it
could you send a link please
*you have unlocked the achievement GOOD GUY NICK* ✅
The slow music creates a Max Payne vibe, and I felt Ellis's anger and misery at Nick passing away.
I love how you dedicated quite a lot to portray the perfect strategies for this segment of the sacrifice ending for a fully animated rendition of gameplay of the chapter since the clips of the trailer for the campaign over 10 years ago. The stuff like boomer bile and turret being used in the finale are perfect examples of the options we usually think of when playing the finale. That and also how amazingly directed the feels in the story are portrayed. Good video!
if Nick were to die I feel like Ellis would become more reserved from everyone else because he thought of nick as an older brother of sorts
"Hey Ellis, you know all that shit I was saying? I was just joking, right?"
0:56 I love that first-person point of view. Good job on this video. 🙂
*You either die a Hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the Villain.*
press f to play respect for nick
👇
I cannot explain how much I LOVE that the slow-mo cinematic part with the sad music happens BEFORE the fight.
Like, that's the moment when you realize shit's going down, when the pit opens in your stomach.
Once you're in the thick of it, you ACT and things HAPPEN, nobody slowing down for any reason.
Goddamn right
Really well done, awesome to see the bullets fly. Sound design is on point too, perfect timing for everything! Kudos brother
Achievement Unlocked: Good Guy Nick
Time travel:kicks a rocks
The timeline:
It's tragic. If someone HAD to sacrifice themselves, it would have to be Nick. He was literally born for it.
The survivors need Coach to lead and Ellis to act as a clown and Rochelle to know logistics.
Nick was a scam artist, but that is only a skill in a world where people trust each other.
One could argue he can shoot good, but so can everyone else.
ellis coach rochelle lost a family member nick saved them
1:23 makes me cry😥😥
Blake sacrifice himself bacause he wanted a redemption of his lifetime crime in his past.
Ellis: This is for Blake !!
Blake?
He got impaled like Rick Grimes...
"Nick Grimes" you would say, but unlike rick tho Nick dies happily
Nick may have the achievement but he took an F in the chat...... 😔💔⚰️💐🕊️
Ngl I thought you were just a channel that made well animated memes but this hit me in the feels man
"Can't believe i'm doing this, I CAN'T believe that i'm doing this."
Ellis is still friendly after getting insulted by nick so much 😔
ellis sees nicks as a older brother
Bill: Son, we've been spending the better half of two days driving a car, we are not playing your games! Can't you lower the bridge from there?
Coach: I'm sorry, folks, but we've got a man down! If you get to the other side, we'll help you lower it!
Bill: (sotto voce) Horse shit... (to group, normal voice) Let's move, people. The truck's not getting across any other way.
Ellis: Sir, we lost a good man getting this bridge down! You want to go around, we'll do our best to cover you there!
Bill: You're gonna make us run around? Is there no other way?
Ellis: No, sir! We are sorry, but you still have to go around!
Bill: Goddamnit... (to group) Around we go, people.
Bill: Miss, you can't expect us to walk around all that way to turn on a bridge!
Rochelle: Sir, if you've made it this far you can make it a little further. We'll even cover you!
Bill: Well, it's something... (to group) Saddle up, people! We've got places to be!
Francis: Keep calm! We're cops! You can lower your bridge!
Coach: Tell me this boy ain't for real... Sir, we can't lower the bridge from here! You can lower it from the other side, we'll cover you if you get there!
Francis: Goddamn it, can't you do it instead?
Coach: N-O. We lost a man getting it up, do you think we'll let it down?
Ellis: Man, I know! They've got to have vampires, mummies, wolfman, all sorts of shit, it just makes sense!
Francis: Yeah, yeah! That's what I'm saying! So can you lower the bridge?
Ellis: Sorry, folks, no can do. Busted my leg a bit trying. But if you can get to the other side, we'll gladly cover you!
Francis: Look, pretty lady. You guys have the bridge controls! Can't you help me and my people out?
Rochelle: Sir, the controls are broken. If you go around, the generators can lower the bridge. We'll even cover you!
Francis: If it means I get to see you again, I'll gladly go across!
Would be good if there had Ellis and Zoey part.
@@k22tcqtmdiepbaolong60 I'll get to it
Bill: My condolences. I've been to 'Nam and I've never seen someone with a brave heart sacrifice himself for years now.
Coach: Sir, there's none of us left. The only thing you should prioritize is to stay alive.
Bill: If you wanna come with us, you're more welcome to join.
Coach: Sorry, we can't. We had enough with CEDA and the military. Good luck, sir.
@@JosephMendoza1054 Ooh, that one's like the "Nick finds Bill's body"
@@JosephMendoza1054 Francis: Im sorry for your loss. Aside of hating everything... i feel sorry. Honestly.
Rochelle: There's no many of us left, tough guy.
Francis: Yeah... I got that feeling. Take care Rochelle.
Rochelle: Thanks. You too biker.
Ironically, I just played a modified campaign where I switched the survivors of L4D1 and L4D2 and this is what I came up with. I was playing Nick in the Sacrifice campaign with the installed mods like the Passing continuity. So I failed to get Nick on the bridge and died. And when I played the Passing as L4D1 characters, I see Nick in the same spot where Bill died.
A mob boss who found people worth dying for. What a beautiful character arc for Nick.
went from initially disliking them to giving his life for them
As nick jumps down from the bridge, all the horde themes from each campaign start playing, showing that even in nicks final moments. He is still thinking about the adventure and fun he had with the group. 😢
ME GUSTO , ME ENCANTO ESTE CORTOMETRAJE!!! TOMA TU GRANDIOSO LIKE , F POR NICK
Looks like he has came this far to die now
At least he can’t hear Ellis’ stories anymore
Imagine if in left 4 dead 3, there's a bonus chapter where it's only bill and nick meeting in some limbo state, shooting the zombies they killed there
“Some milk run this turned out to be”
I feel like nicks death opens up too much character development for all 3 for it to not be canon
The fact that nick has the m16 though... Literally in another timeline we get this.
why tf did Elis's reaction to nick dying make me wanna cry bro
Ending good
Honestly? Having Nick be the one to make the sacrifice play would be perfect for his character. Nick has always been the selfish asshole of the group, the one who looks out for himself first and foremost. Having him actually be the one to make the sacrifice play to save the others would be a poetic end for him as he finally grew out of the selfish mindset that he had before the apocalypse.
He wasn't completely selfish or an asshole, He had a point, you can't trust anyone in this world, Nick cares about people he considers important but he shows it in a more subtle and practical way, he creates a bond with his companions Over time, if Nick was really bad he would have betrayed the group or killed someone a long time ago, but he continues to stick together with Ellis, Coach and Rochelle. his ironic and defensive side is just a way of protecting himself from others, he is probably the most human and complex character.
Ellis' arc after Nick's sacrifice would be to stop seeing the zombie apocalypse as some sort of game
nick was a good guy he will be missed
when i wanna watch some l4d2 sfm i reffer to this typa videos, good job!!!!!!!!!! keep doing it!!!!!!!!
I read a fanfic of Sacrifice part 2 which Nick also sacrificed himself but the story is different. Very different and even more bitter.
"damn nick. we was just starting to be friends."
-ellis
nick went out like a badass at least, dude dodged a tank punch and almost hit em with an axe before getting put out
me pone triste el sacrificio de nick
Damn, that was more gruesome than I expected. Good work, DG.
My sacrifice was a lot better, you can't change my mind.
So both of my main characters sacrifice themselves for the greater good, that checks out with me
I like the theory of Nick being Ellis’s long lost father like Spy and Scout from TF2
0:11 Nick: Coach i got this
Coach: nick dont do this
Ellis: NOOOOOOOO!?!?
Big smoke: EY THATS MY MACHINE GUN!!
1:28, Ellis’ “NOOOOOO!!” is what makes this hit in the feels. Even though Nick hated him he still cared for Nick, and Nick cared enough for all of them to save them 🥲
THANK GOD THAT THERE WASNT A MAP WHERE ONE OF THE L4D2 SURVIVORS HAD TO SACRIFICE THEM SELFS
Nice animation Bro 👍
Poor Nick 😔
it could be a theory that bill and nick are very related????
Nick: Wait is that my grandpa?
Bill: Well son, now you know
Poor ellis, He had the most sadness as we can see him getting angry at the tank man..
Now that’s an alternate timeline
“I hate you Ellis”
“Well I still like you nick.”
omg I will miss him, he is annoying in the hotel part but he's getting better latter on :(
Pobre nick siempre se sacrificio 😢😢😢😢😢😢
nick: (whacked by the tank onto a poll and dies)
Ellis: (devastated by nick's death)
coach: I'm sorry Ellis.
Rochelle: he was a great man.
Time traveler: *Kills a random zombie*
The timeline:
Not gonna lie: I got emotional around the part with Ellis crying and Ro and Coach comforting him.
Wow dude this was really good, well done.
Bro downloaded swap survivors (mutation) Rayman🥶
Coach was about to make the sacrifice play and Nick stopped him to bear the cross himself… Looks like this final gamble played off in the end, rest easy Nick
Nick the goat fr. Prob the only good survivor among the l4d2 crew
Nick probably say something like these idiots need a coach 😢
Thinking about the L4D2 group and how they would be handled if they were in the L4D1 sacrifice part.
Coach would, of course, be the first to sacrifice himself. Considering he's the oldest one and the leader (pretty much the Bill of the L4D2 group), Coach's sacrifice would make an impact on a guy like Nick, where now, Nick takes up Coach's motivation and takes his leader spot.
Nick is definitely second (and fitting since Francis might be second to sacrifice himself in his team), and the video does a great job showing how it would play out.
Ellis, third, I figured he would try to remain positive, saying stuff like "Oh man! This is going to make a great story" before meeting his fate. Ellis's sacrifice would probably make the other 3 start being open about their stories.
Ro seems to be last. Honestly, she falls into the same boat as Zoey, as the "Last to be sacrifice." Ro and Zoey dying always seemed like the bad ending.
Ro is a reporter. She needs to tell the story. Nick knows the team needs Coach, cause when Coach dies, Nick has a line like "What the hell did you leave me with..?"
no, nick is actually best for sacrificing
like, if coach will die, i don't think nick can be a leader like him
and it's a logic end for me, if it was like this
I know they didn’t see eye to eye but to see Elis crying when Nick died was so sad to see. Elis really saw Nick as his friend even when he was awful to the group.
“My whole life I spent doing the wrong thing, let me have this Coach.”
" Ellis, you know what I like best about your stories? "
" what? "
" The sound they make when they stop :) "
That will be canon in the future…
Great stuff you got here, brother
I would love to see more of them. Happy Hunting!
nick in his mind: At least I did something good in this life....
