As a sidenote: While Payday 2 fully re-canonised the No Mercy Heist for Payday, they also *DE*-canonised its Left4Dead connection by chaning the year and city for the heist (Change from 2009 in Fairfield to 2012 in New York), and both Overkill and Valve both stated that the heist was never canon for L4D and more of a "what if" scenario.
As a side note: it seems the military successfully prevented an outbreak of the green flu, preventing l4d from happening
@@somerandomfox8579 Except it was Murkywater (a PMC) that now bombed the building, and the virus was still stolen and used on Bain, having a *completely* different effect.
Plus with being set four years AFTER L4D now, it clearly didn't happen anyways.
@@gimok2k5 I like to think its a form of the green flu that didn't mutate to a zombie virus.
@@gimok2k5didn't really have a totally different effect, he gained super strength but was slowly decaying and losing control
@@w4llst3r37 He was flatout dying and in the regular ending does.
It goes even deeper than CS and L4D, because there are references to Half Life and Team Fortress 2 in L4D. EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED!!!
the crazy thing is people forget payday 2 is part of the l4d universe too( wrote this when the video only released ;-;)
mfw you dont watch the video :D
im more concerned if any source games are connected to tf2 in any shape or form, i like tf2 it's arguably one of my favourite games but mann, its lore is an actual joke(intended).
@@truestbluu I made the comment just before the video was about to premiere, so it was literally impossible for me to watch it when commenting this haha

I like to imagine 4 of the survivors from either left for dead stumble upon 10 guys fighting each other over a brick of c4 in the middle of a zombie apocalypse.
T: Camping with a sniper listening to song, another playing like a dumbass, two T r shooting at CT and one is trying to get to the bomb.

The reason No Mercy is now canon in the Payday universe is because Bain wanted a book called The Guide of Cagliostro from a guy who wanted the patient's infected blood as payment. The green flu in Payday doesn't turn people into zombies since Bain himself is infected by it but doesn't turn.
So, in short, they turned No Mercy from a noncanon fun crossover to a pivotal and crucial part in the Payday story
he could also have immunity like the l4d survivors
he is not immune to it, the green flu just does something completely different in payday 2
@@pacman10124
He doesn't have an immunity because he dies from the infection after the gang robs the white house in Payday 2.
@@DrewzRuleI mean it could just be a cover up
Nice catch over there. That's the thing though, not everyone looks beyond the surface. For a reason there is a lore in payday.
I like how Ellis is the only Pug in the group lmao fits him so well. Also I like to think these games are connected it feels more real and morbid that way.
For the ties of Payday and L4D, it makes more sense to believe that before 2009, the Payday(:The Heist) gang stole the green flu and *then* caused the events of Left 4 Dead. Later in Payday 2's lore, the main contractor Bain dies from it.
But I do believe that the two universes are still seperated, because Payday 3 takes place in present-day New York, with no zombies or outbreaks
that and im pretty sure valve said payday 2 version was more of a " what if " scenario ..also they do find the cure for the green flu in the payday 2 universe so it doesnt spread that quickly
PD2 also retconned the heist to 2012 New York (from 2009 Fairfield), the PD2 version is a Flashback (the rest of PD2 is set in 2012 to 2018, mostly in DC, but with a few heists in NYC, as well as a few other locations like LA, Alaska, Russia and Mexico)
I think Payday, Zombie Army 4, Dead By Daylight, and the Sacrifice comic seems to point toward a L4D multiverse, as opposed to one decreasingly coherent timeline
@@AmyCherryLMAONone of those are canon to L4D. They are either just clearly crossover events, or completely contradict L4D’s lore.
@@joao34386 i know, but it's more fun going with the splintered timeline explanation, especially considering dbd
Both really good games and also makes it better with some silly kitties

it genuinely took like halfway through the video to realise that you were showing your face cause im so used to the silly cats and dogs that i literally like blocked you as a human out of my mind and it just didnt register for like 6 minutes

Also Something kinda funny is that on HL2's canceled expansion there would be zombie type that does not need a headcrab to spread, thing that let me thinking "what sounds... Familiar" when i heared

L4D and Payday go a lot deeper too, it’s connected to Half Life and TF2 as well because in the stock ticker on the big bank level you can see a lot of BLU and RED owned companies, Mercy Hospital, White Mesa, Mann Co, and Freeman Airboat Tours.

@@theunfunnyman7154skill issue tbh
the fact that Bain also says "sorry guys but you're left for dead" when you get the "non canon" ending
Someone said every valve game os fictional in each game, meaning scout can play l4d, Louis can play CS, a counter-terrorist can play half-life, and so on so forth. I'd like to believe that payday is directly connected due to the bridge rescue mission also mentioning the green flu.
Haven’t heard of L4D for some time now, but fortunately goldec’s back at it with the krispy kreme
It's actually very simple l4d is known to take place in "films" as seen by the intros' titles and more in the game to missions and even endings. with that said and the references and even voice lines to the other games, what if left4dead is just a series of zombie films in the main universe, and csgo and halflife are games in said universe aswell meaning its a movie referencing a game?
We need the cat back!!
glad to see payday 2 mentioned. wasted so many hrs on that game as a teen. always thought it was wild the connection between pdy and valve games
thank u for making cut-content/prototype content , great job goldec
The cats are always awesome.
not just cats. more animals
I DONNOT READ NOTIFICATIONS!! because sometimes i received hate and i'm scare to open the notifications and read those negative comments
I like to think that L4D and CS:GO aren't the same universe, they're just similar universes where all of the characters co-exist, maybe the L4D characters are alive and well in the CS:GO universe, never having met each other and not having to fight zombies to survive and simply enjoying their lives. Maybe Gordon, Alyx, and Chell are also just getting to enjoy their lives very differently in the CS:GO universe.
It's cool to think about, and would give a fun explanation to some things being exactly the same from another universe, just somehow also being slightly different.
In the CS:GO universe Chell was adopted by some loving parents and got cake for her birthday.
Great video brother
Thank you! That means a lot coming from you :D

I wanna add that I made this type of gameplay on my own long time ago.
I would buy shield in 1.6 on map "Assault" and I would spawn so many bots, with the command that makes bots use only knife.
Yes, it was very fun.
You probably heard this a lot already but I just wanted to say you make the best fucking thumbnails ever on this platform
8:23 nuke even has a wall with a bunch of trophies/awards and most of them are after 2010
Man, I've waited for this video. You have covered both of my favorite games, and yeah, they are indeed connected and I REALLY LIKE THAT. I fricking love Left 4 Dead man! Also, if you will look at official Midnight Riders music clips (the virtual music band from Left 4 Dead, and it's actually fire, you should listen to it), you can find ALOT and I mean ALOT of references to Team Fortress 2, CS:GO and Left 4 Dead itself.
I also really love how you have covered the PAYDAY2 part, I already knew it, but still watched with a high interest. Amazing video goldec!
Being serious when I say seeing this video pop up in my feed filled me with joy. Nice vid Goldec.
I remember this from 2014!
Masks is custom wearable mask by players during the special events. Masks were originally added in as part of the Halloween 2014 Update.
During Halloween, the masks are completely cosmetic, and chosen randomly at the start of the round in most modes. In competitive, the masks stay constant between rounds and correspond individually to the players.
Some of the Halloween masks featured are from PAYDAY 2 and Team Fortress 2. In the case of the PAYDAY 2 masks, these are default masks worn by the default characters in the game. In the case of the Team Fortress 2 masks, these are masks worn by the Spy class when the Spy is using Disguise.
The in-game appearance of Sergei and Chase Turner reuse the mask mechanic, as they appear as normal T models but wearing a skull-like battlemask.
Exactly, not everyone remembers the 2014 halloween event. It was a pretty fun one.
Maybe this is a dumb question. But the music you used in the beginning of "Part 1" in the background of the video while you talked, what was that song called by chance. I've heard it before but I haven't heard it in maybe 2 years. Thanks!
i like to belive that l4d takes place in alternative payday universe where green flu was used as bioweapon
and payday*
came for the cats, stayed for the jacket
glad you put the LBP ost into your editing, reminded me of some old stuff. aside from that you're editing is amazing aswell
Video was great, loved the info dump on all of the connections made

This is the best thumbnail ever made
Well... no. When someone says/type:
This is the best [REDACTED] ever made
This is the greatest [REDACTED] ever made
This is the [REDACTED] i've even [REDACTED]
i've been [REDACTED]
Or something with that. It's just because they like it, but it's not really that. It's just great and that's it. I know it's an expression, but a cliche one.

great video lad! absolutely lovin the choice of lbp music in the background ❤❤
I love videos like this one that are following the story line of a game/games because I'm too busy to play the game and I skip all the cut-scenes and most definitely will miss all the easter eggs :D so it helps me keep track of what's going on :) Thanks :)
what if we use the notion that there is a probability that the L4D series may be a saga of movies?
I mean it's pretty obvious, every intro has a movie poster.
fair
@@RapidPhantom293And at the "credits" after completing a campaign it says this many zombies was hurt in the making of this movie.
Hey, bro. I'm passing you a stick to participate in the cs2 Spider-Man challenge, you need to make an epic kill in competitive mode with the longest killfit. It is important to use a weapon that has a Spider-Man sticker on it. Upload a TH-cam video with #waspider and pass the baton to the next one.
This is a good idea for a full-fledged video.
Spider friends, please like the comment so that he sees it.
wanted to acknowledge the step up in editing quality for this vid - you’re killing it, keep up the awesome work 💪💪
that song at 1:05 brought back some old memories. Such a pleasant tune!
Anyways, this was a very interesting video, and I loved the little cat fellas representing the different characters.
It is entirely possible it's the same universe though! Because - if the buildings and locations are owned and built by same global company, then they could have used the same projects to build very similar buildings, in different countries and continents! Reason for differences is because of different availability and pricing of the construction materials in the different countries! If you consider that, then suddenly you could also solve the timeline, as the both L4D and CS events might as well be happening simultaneously, but in different countries.
man i love payday
I know man especially that hospital mission that totally doesn't show the payday crew being the ones causing the outbreak
Left 4 Dead + CS + Payday 2 is a combination that I love desperately and would never expect a video linking those games, but what really surprised me was the melody of Garota de Ipanema at the ending. As a brazillian, I loved it, keep with your videos, they are amazing.
Heyyy, good to see you onscreen, Goldec! And I really love the little baby animals, brilliant idea to tell your story!
Face reveal!!!!
the LBP and Modnation Racers OST nostalgia hit me like a brick, good lord.
Good video as per usual!!!
Great video, it's nice to see you putting yourself out there in your videos.
Looking forward to what comes next.
Great video!
Was not expecting LBP 2 music but happy to be surprised
Left For Dead 3 would be awesome. I really hope valve starts developing games again.
Considering Valve relationship with number 3. Keep your fingers crossed mate!
Valve can't count to 3
Good video! Ignoring my bias for silly cats, I really like how you edit your videos. I don't play cs all that much, but I enjoy watching your videos! Keep it up :)
And also it's probably some in game universum thing
wake up babe goldec posted
Never been more hyped for MORE LORE
I do believe that CS Source and L4D1+2 take place in the same universe. In the campaign Dead Air, before you get to the airport, in map 2 you can see that you enter and exit through the MAC nuclear power plant. It is the same power plant on de_nuke in CS:S.
Immediately subscribed after seeing the work you put into the cute animations. Love the content keep it up :)
Babe wake up, new Goldec upload
You need to do playlist with whole music you use, those bangers are sick
i like imagining this as like, l4d being almost like an alternate universe of csgo. like it branches off after a certain point in csgo’s story, which from what i remember has grown into its own thing too much to really be compatible with it being a direct prequel to l4d by this point, and maybe csgo is set a few years in the past in this timeline to make up for the anachronisms
i don’t think you can really call the connections “canon” for a lot of reasons but it’s fun to notice them and think about them and try to bridge the gap, esp with the ones that could “plausibly” exist in both like the saint lidia ii-it’s important to have awareness of canonicity, but getting too caught up in the idea of that being the only thing that matters can kinda suck the fun out of thinking about this kinda stuff
(this all goes for payday too but i didn’t have too much to say directly about that lol)
Hi, massive Left 4 Dead and PAYDAY fan here, the original No Mercy heist in the first PAYDAY was meant to be non-cannon. If I recall correctly, the idea came about because a lot of people were basically looking at PAYDAY as Left 4 Dead but with cops. This was mainly because PAYDAY - like Left 4 Dead - had common and special enemy types, and they were both linear co-op horde shooters with minimal RNG built into the gameplay.
Later in PAYDAY 2, when the developers finally hired a writer to make sense of and create a new story, they decided to recontextualize The No Mercy heist to fit in with their new narrative. The virus they steal isn't The Green Flu virus, but instead a bioweapon designed by a faction in the game called Murky Water. It's not confirmed that this virus turns its targets into zombies, only that the virus is very deadly. If anything, the existence of PAYDAY 3 proves that the virus didn't lead to a zombie apocalypse.
I say these things so that it's clear why the collaboration even happened in the first place, and why the heist later became cannon. The PAYDAY Gang did not steal The Green Flu virus, and they did not cause a zombie apocalypse. The building of The No Mercy hospital is shared, and so is Bill's design, but they're not cannon to each other. PAYDAY and Left 4 Dead each have their own cannon completely separated from each other, it's just that they share a location and one character only in design.
The M4 Belleni shotgun (or however you spell it) was also reused from the Automatic Shotgun in L4D.
I was gonna mention that in the video but the model is slightly off but they do look very similar. Same with the g3sg1 and the sniper from l4d
the lbp music is really catching me off guard, I love it, subscribed
I love the littlebigplanet music usage in this video
Love the video, cats are a neat little addition, but Turtle Rock didn't do much in the way of actually developing L4D, they mostly just came up with the core concept and gameplay before VALVe came in. But you probably know that already.
Awesome vid, keep up the good work!
why haven't I found this channel sooner... It's adorable, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?!
I love you silly kitty cs guy
bro the little big planet songs fit perfectly in this video, nice job!
PD, L4D seem to be the most connected while HL, CS and TF (and Portal) seem to be games inside said universe with TF also being a game inside the HL universe (or perhaps TF is just a promo inside of a HL like old CS used to do?)
You could argue that because the masks were removed from CS that makes them un-connected which grounds PD and L4D a lot more, but then again PD3 happens and (afaik) in the PD universe the green flu doesnt do full zombies (unless Bain happened to be immune and just had mild flu issues)
Goldec Face reveal isn't what I expected to see today. Your content is always banging man keep up the insane work!
i never see him. great content, but i will never watch again
The maps tell us everything
VALVE ARE MAKING THE BIGST PLAYABOLL MULTIVERS IN GAMING HISTORY
Goldec you might not see this, but God damnit bro. Your videos are so well made for such a small community. I absolutely love your videos and always look forward to watching, I'm currently play for priority sports trying to go pro as my dream, and we need more people like you. Thank you bro! Keep it up!
what alot of people seem to miss is that L4D didn't happen, not really; they're in-universe movies. Think about it, the film poster loading screens, the film grain, the over the top action and setpiecing, hell, even the consistency of the zombies (can jump from the second story to no harm, but a swing from a baseball bat completely removes the arm?). Everything in L4D absolutely screams straight-to-dvd trashy thriller flick and it's glorious. You look at the Midnight Riders, it could be construed as the filmmakers getting a band in as a cameo to drive up sales. Riverdale being a real location in CS could be used as a location in a film, like how New York gets used for a million zombie flicks. Hell, the shit happening in CS could make the news, and an aspiring director takes scenemaking inspiration from real life locales that were attacked by the Phoenix and such to try influence search algorithms. The removed death screams were too brutal and harrowing, which also reads as wrong for the goofy, tongue in cheek tone of the film/game. Louis' references to other games is the only outlier here, but it could easily just be easter eggs because ultimately, it's a game.
L4D could easily be a film series in the CS universe, and that's my running theory on the connection between the two.
Cute thumbnail lol, love the videos keep it up!!
Bing watching all your stuff your very entertaining with your edits. I enjoyed the face cam good addition I wouldn’t mind a longer vid. Keep it up your gonna go far
Love the detail in 5:53 with coach falling behind from the others
Babe wakeup, new Goldec banger dropped
cant wait for the uncanny theory on how tf2 is connected
yes. you can wait. don't say that cliche shyatt
I DONNOT READ NOTIFICATIONS!! because sometimes i received hate and i'm scare to open the notifications and read those negative comments
banger vid as always🔥 btw whats that backround music at the end I wanna sample it real bad
I've thought about this connection for a while, and what I ended up settling on was almost similar to what you said. My headcanon was that the Left 4 Dead series were films in the CSGO universe, and not the other way around. Mostly because of the movie poster loading screens in L4D2. That would entertain the shared maps; maybe some of them were used as film sets, and Louis's lines are just in-film pop culture references
Great Video! Here from the algorithm, good luck man!
Awesome video goldec. I love your content honestly. It's a great twist on the typical CS stuff because it's not so focused on the competitive side and more the history.
I always thought since cs2 trailer was released back in March, I thought that Payday 3 and cs2 would do another collab, but this one was gonna be an operation. I thought that we could get gloves from payday, heisters like agents and new maps and more. It sound cool in my head
(Edit: I thought this because Payday 3 and cs2 would have like one/two week difference between launches)
valve ngl makes better lore than fnaf can ever be
Fun fact in pd2 i believe in the midst of the hospital mission some bodies can be seen moving if looked at for long periods of time(the ones in the hospital as props) and theres even the witch in one of the rooms
de_bank is also the exact map used for the Go Bank heist in Payday 2.
correction on the Infected masks for Payday: The Heist: the masks are optained by purchasing Left 4 Dead 2 on steam.
the No Mercy heist is in both Payday: The Heist and Payday 2 and for the first game its only available for pc players.
the last mask indeed is a Tank mask.
Bill also has a chance to spawn in the elevator with dialogue at the start of the heist.
and when it comes to Payday and Left 4 Dead being connected, it could be. After the No Mercy heist, the patient would have likely been turned into a smoker and who knows what was done with the blood samples after the gang retrieved them
Sense you brought up the Bill easter egg in Payday (which I didn't know about until now) may his VA rest in piece. It's ironic that they chose Bill to be the one who conanically dies in The Scarafice and his VA passed away in 2017, but again I hope Jim had a peaceful passing.
been here since the cold war zombies glitch tutorials, the content has gotten so good
No way. You’re a real og
This is a neat video, and very well edited. I'm mainly commenting because I love that you used music and sfx (1:24 1:46) from LittleBigPlanet. Just chilling and watching the video until my brain snapped when I heard the Popit select sound. Good video, good tastes, good everything really 🙏🙏
I remember you showing me how to glitch out of the map in cod Cold War zombies in 2020 now your famous congrats
Ima be completely honest, the way you use cats in your videos is what intrigued me the most. If not for them I probably wouldnt have clicked on one of your videos 3 months ago.
12:20 chat, he forgot that viruses dont spread at light speed and affect people instantly, as viruses take time to travel and affect hosts, plus I'm pretty sure the Green Flu wasn't airborne till later in the L4D franchise.
