@@theotv5522 You'll get even saltier to know that Valve said they enjoyed 2 Evil Eyes, and that it is the reason they invited the guy to make Cold Stream lol
Considering what this is named after, yeah I’d say it’s accurate. For context, Two Evil Eyes is a story by Edgar Allen Poe about a guy who kills another, older guy because he gave him the stink eye. The problem was that, even in death, the old guy still stared at him and drove him completely insane.
Isn't the story where a guy kills another because of his eye "Tell-tale heart"? Maybe you are thinking of the movie that may have been based off of Edgar Allen Poe's writing? Never seen the movie so im not sure.
@@d00gz_ Valve did dirty with their game a lot. I can think of how Valve ignore their own guideline for TF2 cosmetic or in CSGO, they butcher Cobblestone so much it's beyond unplayable. I might sound harsh but Valve should stick to single player game. Their vision is at best when they develop it, not after they complete it and want to add more
Valve apparently liked 2 Evil Eyes, and then invited the guy to create a brand new campaign from scratch. Cold Stream was an original creation, made specifically to be an official campaign, with certain parts of it being Valve designs (Like the bunker event in the first map)
I remember back when Cold Stream first got added. The finale used to be a rolling panic event all the way through like the end of the Parish, and I never once survived it until Valve turned it into something else entirely. I'm not at all surprised seeing a panic event not even a minute into this one after hearing it's by the same guy. Some people just refuse to improve, especially when they clearly tune their maps towards the sweaty tryhards.
The "Crescendos happening at the end of every map" criticism can also be used against Cold stream. I've played this map before, but I don't really remember much past the second chapter. I liked the finale because it reminded me of hard rain's.
According to a blogpost: "We loved 2 Evil Eyes and Cold Stream looks even more promising with innovative game play arenas and effects. Matthew has really shown that there are still plenty of new ideas in L4D2 modding. He recently shared it with us and we love it so far but it isn’t done."
Ok so thats why Cold Stream is so shit. Its because the Person who made it must’ve really liked Panic Events and Endless Hordes that it gets shoved every 2 seconds.
6:54 Every time I play Warcelona, the bots are determined to kill themselves on the balconies you have to cross on the first map. I don't think the the pathing is perfect on that map.
I think you might have the horde terms slightly wrong. As far as I can tell, the game features three types of hordes triggered by the player's actions: 1. Crescendo Event - An onslaught of Infected triggered after interacting with something crucial to the game's progress. 2. Panic Event - An onslaught of Infected caused by the player's accidental actions (e.g., triggering car alarms). 3. Gauntlet Event - Similar to a Crescendo Event but endless, typically happening at the end of a chapter (e.g., rushing towards the saferoom at the end of Dark Carnival's Chapter 4). Speaking of 2 Evil Eyes, I really don't like how it plays along with the questionable level design, aesthetics, and bot navigation. I'm already numb to Gauntlet events after playing Dead City 2 for countless hours, as long as they don't drag the game out too much. However, the end of Chapter 3 and the entirety of Chapter 4 are a chore to get through, even on Normal difficulty. In Chapter 3, the rush toward the saferoom after leaving the boat is an absolute joke. And in Chapter 4, not only does the Gauntlet Event drag on for too long, but the constant threat of being dragged and killed by Jockeys (and Smokers) and Chargers respectively from above really makes me dislike the custom campaign even more. The first two chapters could have been combined into a single chapter, and the last two are fine in my book. Overall, I think 2 Evil Eyes is a below-average campaign with a toxic abuse of both Crescendo and Gauntlet events. Why Valve chose Matt L. to create a DLC campaign for L4D2 instead of picking better alternatives is beyond me. By the way, ilcannibal, the creator of the Dead City custom campaign series, which consists of Left Behind, Dead City 2, and The Arrival, also has a habit of abusing both Crescendo and Gauntlet events. However, his approach is more bearable, especially in his last two entries. If you're interested, I recommend checking them out (not Dead City 2 though, because that one is still broken since late-March)
Why do I feel like the only reason why cold stream had some sort of break in the panic events is because valve literally told the map creator that there needed to be brakes in the panic events. in order for his map to be on the game.
I don't know why, but the way you said "I've grown numb to this." at 4:47 made me laugh my ass off. Maybe it's just because I've seen it so much in your map playthroughs.
I actually had no idea this was made by the same creator as cold stream (guess I never paid attention) but now that explains why the map is so frustrating.
i recently played this and the finale was my biggest issue and that was on advanced, the double tanks in a 90% flooded area with me and 3 bots was a actual nightmare.
Been watching a bunch of your videos lately. I like your AVGN/YKWBS-inspired Nonsense series lol. I'm wondering though. How come your voice sounds different between this video & the weapon tier list video? Unless you got a brother or friend on here too.
Yay! Another NasCoz custom map review! I can see how this and Cold Stream are hated, especially on the higher difficulties. I just didn't know about that fact because I always play on Easy like a basic bitch lol. Anyway, if you can or want to, try Cold Front. My most favorite custom map so far. I'd like to know what an Expert Realism player thinks about it. Does it respect the player? *Gordon Ramsay peaks up*
i remember we get fked by this map alot when we finally reach chapter 6, water, 2 tank and some wooden "house" can be broken down by both the tank and survivor make this even worse, so we have an idea that using one teammate as a meatbait while the other 3 killing the tank, and it work
you most likely won't see this, but i would love if you make a video dedicated to No More Room in Hell it's one of the most underrated zombie game ever plus it's made in the source engine and it's free. Would love to hear your thoughts on it, anyways keep up the good work!
I've seen this map and played it, man, it likes I have no idea this creator of the map really wants you trigger more panic events and hard things you've ever imagine.
Panic event, Panic event, Panic event, Paniec event, Panic event, Paniec event Panic event, Paniec event Panic event, Paniec event Panic event, Paniec event Panic event, Paniec event Panic event, Paniec event Panic event, Paniec event Panic event, Paniec event Panic event, Paniec event. And last.... a Panic event, daymn- I didnt know any creator could made a map based by one thing, its very interesting. Also Cold Stream s*cks, im sorry - Im not fan of map haha xd Anyway cool vid
Oh shoot, i just played this map recently and it's so goddamn frustrating. Panic event in every step of the campaign, endless strom at chapter 4 or 5 (kinda forgot), water, water freaking everywhere, amd idk if it's me but the special infected in some chapter are higher
so this is why cold stream is hated, too many panic events and endless hordes
that and its a static map, meaning it will always be played the exact same way, with the exact same tank spots.
I hate the endless hordes bs especially the final
The more I see Cold Stream, the saltier I am thinking it could have been another map that’s added
and it might be the hardest official campaign
@@theotv5522 You'll get even saltier to know that Valve said they enjoyed 2 Evil Eyes, and that it is the reason they invited the guy to make Cold Stream lol
Brother really didn't learn anything from his last creation And made a 2.0 version
At least cold stream has long segments of the map without panic events, but yeah every single map ends with a panic event
suprise suprise the cold stream creator makes another cold stream 2.0
except cold stream came after this
2 evil eyes was his first, then Valve took notice and he made cold stream
Not too great for versus imo.
F

@@jehehehedias5881too late, i'm hungry already.
Tell me why Valve gave the thumbs up to Cold Stream, but not any more better custom campaigns.
Probably the same reason why Valve gave the thumbs up to the invasion update in TF2 and then never did a community centered major update again
@@d00gz_ Valve did dirty with their game a lot. I can think of how Valve ignore their own guideline for TF2 cosmetic or in CSGO, they butcher Cobblestone so much it's beyond unplayable.

That video "suddenly ending" actually got me because of the Fukkireta recommendation appearing.
I too think the random Minecraft map we've played at a young age is now the most repetitive map.
Which map are you speaking of?
@@Megajaybreaker4 You gotta know what DeathCraft is
You brought back some long lost memories with that name.
i genuinely kinda wanna see this guy play the white forest campaign (workshop)
Some People are calling it a Platforming game or an Adventure game but I call this a Where the Fuck do I have to go kind of a game
-AVGN
Why did Valve let the guy who made this cook, of all people?
I remember back when Cold Stream first got added. The finale used to be a rolling panic event all the way through like the end of the Parish, and I never once survived it until Valve turned it into something else entirely.
I'm not at all surprised seeing a panic event not even a minute into this one after hearing it's by the same guy. Some people just refuse to improve, especially when they clearly tune their maps towards the sweaty tryhards.
I have two eyes, and they are both disgusted by what I look at.
I truly wonder what the map would've been if valve didn't pick this guy
Imo, should be Urban Flight.
@@longhuynh144urban Flight would be a nightmare in vs.
Glubtastic.
when was i hate mountains released
Should've been Suicide Blitz 2.
The "Crescendos happening at the end of every map" criticism can also be used against Cold stream.
I've played this map before, but I don't really remember much past the second chapter. I liked the finale because it reminded me of hard rain's.
hey bro, i miss your comments
@@nascoz3884thank you
Why did Valve like this guy enough to let him make his own official campaign again?
According to a blogpost: "We loved 2 Evil Eyes and Cold Stream looks even more promising with innovative game play arenas and effects. Matthew has really shown that there are still plenty of new ideas in L4D2 modding. He recently shared it with us and we love it so far but it isn’t done."
Chet really likes it and idk why
Ok so thats why Cold Stream is so shit. Its because the Person who made it must’ve really liked Panic Events and Endless Hordes that it gets shoved every 2 seconds.
Considering your other videos on this guy, seems like he really likes water + panic events.
You're on a damn roll man, you've been my inspiration to try my hand at some video creation, thanks for that.
So basically: Swamp fever + Cold stream = this?
1:21 Teto (Vocaloid), Ado (Singer) and some orange hair girl from Bocchi the Rock
i like that RE4 serenity slowed and reversed background music
0:19 Lmao that common
New NasCoz vid? I'm warming up the spoon for this.
9:40 - Jaiz jumpscare moment
You forgot the other event. The tank event. You know when the map maker gives you the finger and spawns 2-100 tanks on you.
1:21 very well placed advertisement
I'm just happy how the game is still doing good and being supported.
Meanwhile, a newly launched game in concord is already dead in arrival.
6:54 Every time I play Warcelona, the bots are determined to kill themselves on the balconies you have to cross on the first map. I don't think the the pathing is perfect on that map.
didnt learn the first time and he did it again
My day is much better now that NasCoz has uploaded.
Another new video, keep doing a good job NasCoz!
I love your work!

yo, he done fooled me with that "youtube end" 1:16
great video tho. i enjoyed it
Wouldn’t have to imagine if the video suddenly ends since TH-cam decided to put an ad milliseconds after you said so.
gotta love seeing people still play l4d2 in 2024. Your videos are awesome dude, keep it up!
Why do I feel like the only reason why cold stream had some sort of break in the panic events is because valve literally told the map creator that there needed to be brakes in the panic events. in order for his map to be on the game.
Even then Cold Stream is just an awful campaign. Crescendos...gauntlet crescendos in fact at the end of every single chapter is bullshit.
THANK YOU NATSPONE
You got me with the suddenly end part lmfao
I’m glad we have your voice back
I noticed on this rewatch that even when you give praise to Bai Mountain, you sneak in shade.
1:21 that got me actually
Now I wanna know how hard it is to make a good L4D2 map
NASCOZ UPLOADED, DAY BRIGHTENED 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Another nascoz commentary let's gooo
*NasCoz new video pops out*
*I smile*
WE NEED MORE OF YOUR COMMENTARY VIDEOS MAN! o7!
And more custom maps LMAO
OH my GOD THE SCARFACE OST AT THE START THATS COOL!
With the Left 4 Bots & ion's Vocalizer you can use the 'Lead' command for bots to navigate you along the way
Funny enough when you said it ends TH-cam hit me with an ad like the video actually ended😅
I don't know why, but the way you said "I've grown numb to this." at 4:47 made me laugh my ass off. Maybe it's just because I've seen it so much in your map playthroughs.
You know heaven can wait 2 is a great map

omg the sh1 themes playing in the background goated
INSANE choice on scarface ost
Bai Mountain changes a man...
Two Evil Eyes is just like Swamp Fever but like better and its on helicopter escape which is i like
Zombie attck you during the intro that peak design right there and yet people say cold stream isnt a bad map
Bro nailed my recommendations
the ending caught me off guard😭
Tbh dead harvest too has issue of zombies spawning inside safe house, the chapter with destroyable bridge
Pls make vids about new custom maps/campaign! Also BEst mapz to download!

manhunt and vocaloid now you see how crazy how i am

Take a shot everytime he says "Panic event"
Anyone know what are those video recommendation that appear at 1:21?
Edit : to be exact, both video after "Nox Arkham" and one beside GTA IV
Finally my boi is back, youtube even deleted my channel
I always kinda thought cold stream was over hated but this is pretty reasonably awful
Cold stream is so loved he made a Cold stream 2
take a shot for every “panic event” said
Yay! Another NasCoz custom map review!
I can see how this and Cold Stream are hated, especially on the higher difficulties. I just didn't know about that fact because I always play on Easy like a basic bitch lol.
Anyway, if you can or want to, try Cold Front. My most favorite custom map so far. I'd like to know what an Expert Realism player thinks about it. Does it respect the player? *Gordon Ramsay peaks up*

He should wait till the update for it releases though, which might still take a few weeks.

Do you guys do crack? How are you getting these videos out so fast?
I think many devs like this should learn about Chenming campaigns coding. Great maps with proper panic moment arrangement.
you most likely won't see this, but i would love if you make a video dedicated to No More Room in Hell it's one of the most underrated zombie game ever plus it's made in the source engine and it's free. Would love to hear your thoughts on it, anyways keep up the good work!
I like it. A lot.

And i hate the water

Anyway cool vid
just play the first chapter of the parish 5 times and shoot the car alarm at the end, you'll get the same thing.
This map made me sleepy while playing it
Oh shoot, i just played this map recently and it's so goddamn frustrating. Panic event in every step of the campaign, endless strom at chapter 4 or 5 (kinda forgot), water, water freaking everywhere, amd idk if it's me but the special infected in some chapter are higher
At least Hard Rain gives you the option to take the higher ground allowing you to avoid most of the water
Il wait
l think, your new favorite word is "formulaic". It means a lot in gaming,it can explain almost any situation.
Modern games are formulaic for example
for the water thingy, he shouldve just used HL2 waste water
