- Once again continuing the series where I break down the stories behind the campaigns, up next is the Passing. I hope you enjoy.
I went into the game files to grab audio clips for this video, and If you want an idea of just how much dialogue is in this campaign, Rochelle (By herself) has 60 different lines of dialogue in the opening 10 seconds of chapter 1.
This video was a lot of fun, and it's nice to talk about a campaign that isn't super depressing and dark. Reminder that Left 4 Dead can effortless juggle whatever theme they want and still make it work.
Thank you for watching
2:29 Fun fact Zoey's VA used to voice Princess Peach you can probably tell through this voice clip
It’s also Cortana from Halo
that’s some fun trivia I might steal that Ty ❤
Had to look in the internet. Damn I never knew she even voiced Peach in Super Mario Advance.
She's a badass on this one lmao
The sad reality that Bills death caused the L4D1 survivors to pretty much mature and finally notice just how far he was going to defend them is always touching. Bill's entire purpose wasn't to get to a remote island and die of old age, it was to ensure that those looking to him as a leader got to that stage, and he was happy to die at the last hurdle.
Juxtaposed with the L4D2 survivors, where there's not really a main leader role, and it's 4 survivors trying to get to their goal; it's would make sense the L4D1 survivors didn't warn them about the military. Firstly, they're not 100% sure they're carriers, but also it's not something Bill would have done either. Quite simply if they warned the survivors, they'd give up on their goals and potentially try to join the L4D1 survivors, which is something they're likely not fond of at that moment in time.
Bill's purpose was to save the 3 of them, not to have those 3 then risk saving others alongside it. To inform others about the military would be causing potential risk to themselves, and lead to the potential of ruining what Bill sacrificed for them.
I like to imagine that the different dialogs characters can share with each other are ideas in their heads of what maybe to say and each time you play the games, they're alternate universes where they decided to say those certain things.
Just the fact that zoey could question whether or not they should have gone with them suggests it was an idea in her head that she in most universes ignored, but that one rare time she calls out to ellis is the one time she actually had second thoughts at the last second as they drove by
and the fact thay its such a low possibility to get that dialog implies that it wasnt too much on her mind and was set on bill's goal
@@tropicalbreeze1164 the left 4 dead games are genuinely super fucking intresting in how they tell their story.
Co op online games, about moving through linear levels like a racing game, while having dialog exchanges that are different every time you play and flesh out the characters in hundreds of different ways?
It's so unique!
You missed Rochelle startling the wedding witch where she shouts “NOT AGAIN!” Which is just a little lore for her
Knowing she's a reporter, I wouldn't be surprised if she crashed a wedding or two for a scoop and had to handle a bridezilla...
@@SakaDiKovVitch Rochelle is a bundle of lore
It could also mean she canonically startled a witch before.
@@avion682 For a witch in a wedding gown? Unlikely.
*Witch* is a little bit of lore for her
Nick kinda opened my eyes a bit and made me realize that Francis must reek like a literal armpit
its not confirmed if any of the survivors took showers
Honestly I think they all do atp
Wonder if Francis hasn't cleaned his vest after Bill wiped bile on it.
This vid made me realise that after all 4 l4d2 survivors basically walked through sewer water, they all sat inside Jimmy Gibbs car.
It musta been an awful smelling drive till they reached Whispering Oaks
@@jackychang9148 i think they still "could" wash their clothes, since in death toll the electricity seems to be on, but idk about the water
0:58 - The Passing actually takes place a day later, evidenced by Coach telling Ellis "You've been killing zombies for the better part of 2 days", which implies that 24-48 hours have passed since they first encountered the infected in Dead Center.
Since Dead Center takes place during the daytime, and The Passing takes place in the evening, it can only be on the day after, around 36 hours later.
Tls update sux
@@2fangz296 cope
@@2fangz296 Well that’s your opinion, no rights or wrongs.
@@2fangz296Okay. And?
"Ugh, I hate stairs :c"
"Oh my GOD, you hate stuff too??"
I adore these interactions between the l4d1 survivor with l4d2 survivor to make them feel more alive and an actual human being, not to mention their different personality shining through in this chapter to see their sides as well.
the passing genuinely feels like a lighthearted funeral where instead of mourning the loss, everyone pours a drink out for the person who passed away
you’d think for a campaign named after both the passing of the torch and the passing of bill, arguably an all time favorite character in the series, it would be dark, depressing, sad, but nope, it’s heartfelt and light, even the map tones and landmarks can show that
the sacrifice is dark, dreary, depressing, and is a bad omen for the events in the future, alongside the path being beaten up and torn up or abandoned, the train yard is an example, broken down boats and bridges, a crashed train, etc.
the passing is light, the streets are bright, and you’re walking through what others would call a town of happiness, a wedding going on with a jukebox, tattoo parlors, bars across the street from one another, an unfinished tour nearby, it genuinely feels like a place to go after a tragic loss to wash away the sadness
i know i basically typed out a novel about two campaigns in a funny zombie game where you can mod the common to be cupcakes, but i’ve been around since before l4d2 got the passing dlc and even when the l4d1 campaigns were ported over, i hold the game in high regard and i love it to death
tl;dr, good video, made me dump my feelings on a game i love lol
hell yea
I loved your analysis
I love the hints that Nick and Francis potentially knew each other
Especially because its hinted at the idea that they're from the same gang because Francis has a tattoo of a symbol that Nick has on his ring
Nah.., Nick probably got/stole it from one of Francis's biker friends. perhaps in some gambling game, before the outbreak.
@@Yodoe992 nah, they're probably mutuals
I always assumed the L4D1 survivors didn't tell the L4D2 survivors about the military because they didn't know if they were immune or not, and it would be better to let them have hope since they didn't know if they would survive or not
I think its assumed anyone that can chop zombies and inhale their infected guts are carriers.
7:03 “i uh..i put it there”😂😂😂
I think that after Nick saw Bill's body, he realized that being a bad guy in this world is not worth it and felt sorry for being an asshole since in Dead Center he was an asshole pretty much the whole time yapping about leaving them on the next ocasion
9:12 The answer is really kinda boring, but I think it's simply that because this was released after The Parish did, the story would make even less sense if the L4D2 crew still went to New Orleans after being told it's a death sentence.
I'm also shocked you didn't mention the Midnight Riders Van that can rarely be seen driving down a road in the campaign.
I mean the military in the comic was cut off and acting alone, we only have the context of the carrier at the very end being prepped for carriers which paints a better picture
@@yellow9053 I guess so, though at the same time, the L4D1 crew had no desire to try the military again after their first run-in, and it feels weird that they wouldn't warn others about their experiences
@@headcrabking9054They kinda did, though. Louis tells them they would rather stay and not go with them because they had enough of the military, the l4d2 crew simply didn't ask them for an explanation nor reason.
@@avion682 perhaps, but that feels rather dissatisfying as an answer. Especially since by the end of the level, the two teams grow to respect each other, but the L4D1 crew still doesn't want to explain that they're driving into a deathtrap?
It feels more like the writers trying to smoothly fit The Passing into L4D2s storyline rather than having more reasonable character interactions, at the expense of the entire narrative that was already made.
@@headcrabking9054 A small warning could have worked, something by the lines of "Be careful, the military isn't as friendly as you think it is" while they're driving away would fit. Also, remember that Millhaven outpost lost communication with command, so they acted by what they believed to be the right thing to do. The rest of the military can be heard talking about proper equipment for transporting carriers (proved by The Parish campaign's radio at the end), so chasing the military wasn't really a death sentence, the l4d1 crew just had terrible luck
Love that your giving lore info on this game, please continue this 'series'
Thank you
and yes this series will certainly continue
you've finally unlocked your formula
That's 1 way to put it, huh
Thank you for subscribing btw :)
Damn, you are making these at an INCREDIBLE speed.
I have barely even finished watching the FIRST video.
Slow down, fella!
Must go faster
More videos, can't slow down
@@conz2769
*He edited too hard and videoed too much.*
I do think the reason why the L4D 1 survivors didn’t tell the L4D 2 survivors about the military is because the moment they realize that salvation to New Orleans is a pipe dream, they’d want to go on the sail boat too but having 4 more mouths to feed on a small sail boat would be problematic especially if they are out at sea which can risk running out of food before they reach the island. Further more they are probably honoring Bill’s words “We look after our own.”
I was thinking the same exact thing
at 8:39 it’s also worth noting that coach has a similar dialogue with francis after finding bill’s body
10:15 I like to think you missed the charger and smashed coach with the crowbar
XD
1:50 coach protected WHO?
😏😏
8==================================> bill
One thing that confuses me here is why they'd be willing to relower the bridge before they go through.
And if the sailboat is already passed, why are they even on the bridge still?
You can see that the sailboat was already moved to the other side, and they were waiting for Louis' leg injury to heal before leaving. At that point in time, it's only been like 2 days since Louis got injured.
To me it seems like yes Zoey adopted Bills’ world view but she’s still herself underneath it. She knows that her original goal is unachievable but she still wants it. She doesn’t tell the l4d2 survivors about the military because she wants them to still have hope to be able to go on, which is both kind and cruel because while they’ll have hope if they ever end up with the military (as they do in the Parish) that hope will be proven false.
Hes saying he doesnt wanna make it 30 minutes going over the dialogue but like thats exactly what i want
>There's *MORE* story.
>Dear god.
>I *have WRITTEN* another.
>No. 😢
The l4d1 crew did not warn them because that would make the entirety of l4d2's story seem weird, like why would they attempt to find the military if they were warned about doing that
They would also probably go like "damn that sucks, can we go with you on the boat then???" which is likely not ideal supply-wise
@@nos17more mouths to feed but that’s also more hands to help out with work.
@@theotv5522true but they are letting complete strangers into their group, big risk in their zombie world
@@theotv5522 I want a farming simulator with Farmer Ellis
I can totally understand how Ellis feels, as I am a Zoey main and simp too.
It would have been fun if the L4D1 Survivors joined the L4D2 Survivors for at least one mission.
But I'm glad that in the end, both sides got the best possible ending they could have gotten. The L4D1 Survivors get to live on a remote island away from all the zombies, and the L4D2 Survivors being in a far away place.
Sorry to burst your bubble but there is a VERY good chance the LFD2 Survivors will either be executed or forced to fight the military
>And the L4D2 survivors being in a far away place
>be me
>Watched "The Dark Story Behind The Parish" video before this
oh boy we got some news for you
I’ve been really obsessed with l4d2 commentary videos lately, I’m glad I found your channel. I can’r wait for more ^_^
Like literally I can’t wait for more. Your channel has the best videos I’ve watched, please upload more
8:54: I've also had Nick yell "THANK YOU!" while rushing to the car before once the generator was filled up (I wasn't playing as him, though). Goes to show he's not a TOTAL jerk. :)
Support this man's career 💝
one line i love is between Coach and Louis at the start of the finale. I can't remember which one says it, but it's something like "Oh thank god! I thought i was the last black man on earth!"
Man oh man, wow. Watched ur 3 recent vids (this one, Sacrifice and The Passing one) and all of them are perfect. Keep it going man 👍
Thank you the passing, you’re the reason that the l4d fandom at the time shipped Zoey and Ellis a million times
God the L4D voice actors are GOATed! Be it death or pain noises, well executed banter or just straight comedic delivery gold, they are all masters!
Wow such gaming had a theory that nick & Francis were in the same gang given that nick has a ring that has the symbol of the hells angel club the same logo Francis has tattoos on his arm
I think he stole it or conned it from a biker in the same gang as Francis
UPCOMING BEST LEDT 4 DEAD CONTENT CREATOR FOR REAL 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
great videos brother, these stimulate my brain 😁
This is personally my favorite campaign in the entire game
Came across your channel with the parish vid and man, I'm hooked.
Keep it up, these are excellent.
Thank you for the sub
and Im glad you enjoyed the video.
1:37 man, i love ellis so much. hes my favorite character in the l4d series
Yeahhhhh... I'm gonna need you to go ahead and do a video like this for EVERY campaign, love what you're doing here going in depth of one my favourite games that I bought on release and still play to this day!
Liking these videos. Please keep them up!
1:44 Nick: oh finally I can now kill this moran
We need a 30 min version for this as opposed to what you have said. This was truly a great video and I hate it to end that short.
Keep going Conz you explain stuff really well man. Great video!
I love these videos, great getting ready for bed content. Keep up the great work
RIP Bill. I really want to replay this games now. Dusting off the 360 in a week. Great video!!
Thank you and remember to play as Nick when you play the Passing to get the best dialogue bits
Fun fact: in hard rain when you get the gas in the safe room there a writing about two people meeting up and something about jumping the "fence" then half of it said "Don't forget to bring louis"
0:10 now this is what I call a jumpscare, heck this gets me everytime...
seeing deadlock gaining steam and hearing credible rumors about hl3 again gives me SOME hope that l4d3 may happen one day
That wery sweet of you.
Love your vids con js found em yesterday hope your channel flourishes soon man keep up the amazing work
2 views and 0 like let me fix that
@@conz2769also when do you think youre gonna drop the survivors lore vid?
At least this one is different
Absolute Starman Behavior
This channel is so small surprisingly
I haven't caught on with all of your videos but I can definitely see you getting more views. I can just tell it is one of those channels. Probably won't be until the right time from either a resurgence or a popular trend is covered.
The final chapter lines about withholding info isn't a nitpick for me
Them holding back information that could destroy the L4D2 Crew's hope makes sense
It's proven when Zoey says "No, it's hard enough out there already"
Which to me, implies that there isn't enough hope to push people on and that, if there is no hope, what's the point in trying to survive so them withholding information that would tear away that hope from the L4D2 crew makes sense since it's their motivation to keep going
Also sometimes in the saferoom before the finale Ellis asks Nick for his suit to impress Zoe when he asks her to go out with him, or sometimes Rochelle (again in the saferoom before the finale) is giving Ellis advice to talk with Zoe
Man I do want to see whole of the lines now ngl. Nice video
Here before this blows up lemme contribute ❤
I love how L4D is still going strong so I can watch all these videos
Nice little Easter egg of the bands bus in chapter 1 leaving.
The Dog grafiti was from Nicole from Dawn of the Dead Remake. Frank West from Dead Rising too.
9:09 if think they are referring to the fact that immune people are not actually immune but they are carriers, wich is also something they discover during the comic (from what i can gather the l4d2 survivors are completely oblivious of that fact)
keep em coming, made me download l4d2 after 12 yrs
Please post more of these. You are doing God's work.
One thing as a kid that I love the most is the Interaction between Zoey and Ellis, now looking back I feel real sad because they definitely clicked together, but unfortunately with them just meeting for the first time and not knowing if they can trust each other, and the fact that it's a tough world out there, it will never happen, maybe in an alternate universe where we can see Zoey and Ellis, and Rochelle and Francis together, and also Keith, because holy, Keith is a god if what Ellis says are all true
Nice video makes me realize how much a masterpiece l4d2 is.
love these kinds of videos! keep diving into the lore of the game pls cheers to u pal!
Very happy to see this in my sub box, cheers boss
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Never get to hear the second bridge dialogue in full, because everyone in coop heads straighr for the elevator every time
The left4dead 1 and 2 survivors have some of the funniest reactions to each other ever
This kind of video is fun, you should make it a series man!
I like to imagine an alternative universe where the the L4D1 crew went with L4D2 crew to the bridge and the luck with the L4D1 crew to L4D2 crew that later save their lives
6:03 they predicted 2020😂
You have a nice voice. I could be interested heavily thanks to it
9:10 I have a theory that the part in the comic where zoey said "We look after our own" meaning if they wanted to tell them, they cant since they just have to look for their own now, or that supplies are lacking for them.
Just a little theory of mine but all hope isnt lost cuz they'll probably live against the military after the parish and see each other again (i would love that)
Great job on this videos! I love them!
"Ed king of the zombies"
Sounds like a Shaun of the Dead reference.
Interesting to see how the survivors interect with each other...
THIS MAN NEEDS MORE SUBS
5:44 that's a Reference to DAWN OF THE DEAD 2004 where Nicole tried to rescue chips the dog in andy's gun shop but she ended up getting cornered/trapped in there so the survivors went there to rescue her
Ever since it's release it was always my favorite campaign and always will be
The algorithm has blessed you, you got a new sub, from me!
Welcome aboard, and I hope you enjoy the content
I absolutely love these videos! ❤
9:27
I don't think Zoey ever accepted Bill's worldview but rather came to an understanding of why he thinks and does such things, and I think his sacrifice, solidified that understanding, making Zoey understand his very views.
She might not accept it but I can see her seeing the point of it, the rationale & realistic side of running away to some islands rather than trying to bring back the world that was already lost, and perhaps indefinitely.
I think fully accepting Bill's views means fully accepting his death, and I doubt that's particularly in character for any of the L4D1 protagonists, who more likely wanted him to be alive with them.
I don't think Zoey is necessarily a vengeful and overambitious person who'll do anything, but rather she still has a strong hope in the world and humanity, and that hopeful spark does show a little, with her last lines for Ellis and the L4D2 team.
Bro, I just thought of what's the point of the passing campaign this instant, only to find this gem. Thank you bro.
Alot more then i knew about this series makes me wonder if 3 could be a defect crew from the military that crosses paths with 2.
5:54 i think "ed is king of the zombies" is a shaun of the dead reference after ed gets zombified
L4D is just the best game of my adolescence.
I think the l4d1 survivors did not tell them because they did not wanted to take the l4d2 survivors last hope from the.
I think the reason they didn't tell about the carriers and the military killing them is to provide false hope to the l4d2 survivors and to avoid a fight over the boat.
I think the l4d 1 team didnt mention the military because they 1 arent sure if they should trust a new batch of people right after losing bill. 2 dont want to crush the little hope of change remaining in the world. And 3. While they had a bad experience with the millitary maybe they had hope that the l4d2 team would be saved
You got yourself a new subscriber my friend 😁 been a fan of L4D since I was a fetus in my ancestors leg.
That's certainly 1 way to put it 😄
If we got an "After-the-end" series of maps for Left 4 Dead 2, I hope we find out what happens with the Second set of survivors, plus maybe another teamup with the 1 and 2 survivors, making them all playable in one map (maybe just not all 7 in one game. Do what Call of Duty Black Ops 4 did with Alpha Omega - Pick 4 of the 7.)
Dammit wish we coulda gotten more Elis and Zoey dialogue
Zoey calling Nick Colonel Sanders cracked me up 😂
Zoey was such a great character
Loving this series
I like how you didn’t catch “frank west” lol the main character from dead rising
He did, check the corner
I mean the other thing for both Under the River Tour that was basically Coach trying to make an excuse for the crew to be a bit positive about their situation for getting a alternate route to lower the bridge was kinda hilarious.
Both positive view from both Rochelle and Coach about that under the river tour, like how it might be fun and the cynic way for Nick about knowing it will be shit.
I'm kinda interested to know more about the dialogues and I didn't know there's more lol
Man why did we get the timeline where Valve can't count to 3. I would die for a new left 4 dead game
