got the reshade preset from here: • How to install ReShade... - เกม
"To start I removed all the zombies because zombies aren't real."
Perfect. Then, i removed the blood, and made it even bloodier and then i added humans. Good as new.
Well the common zombies make sense, they are decayed from their bodies eating itself, and they always fight because the Green "flu" is like rabis
Just wait my man
Flakka and rabies go oouuuggghhh
Then I added animals. Now humans can survive
Honestly, aside from the Reshade being too saturated, I think this is BALLER.
that was with a preset too. Definitely something id love to tweak around with

I love how left 4 dead shows how sometimes simplicity is the key.
*how sometimes a simple, yet thoroughly thought out gameplay can be fun
@@vauxittt Mods are the only reason that game is still alive in any way. The gameplay isn't the best at this stage of gaming, but having mates and installing a bunch of meme mods, and just having fun is much better. Same case for Lethal Company. Large mod pool to keep things fresh, and the focus isn't on gameplay, but rather on the players you play with.
@@augustyntchorzewski7615 well, yeah, this happens when a game is 15 years old
@@vauxittt Feels like you missed my point or I did't explain it well enough. My point is the gameplay is not as great as you made it seem by your comment.
Nah, that other guy is a tool. L4D's gameplay still holds up great.
i like it when games let you see your legs when you look down.
i dunno, it's just kinda neat.
L4d2 was supposed to have viewmodel legs like the first game, but it was really buggy so it was scrapped
i just think they're neat
not so fun fact that may or may not be mentioned in this video:
Irrational Games, developers of Swat 4 amongst others, were planning to make a tactical shooter zombie game built on Swat 4's engine - but it was cancelled. The game was called Division 9 and there's a few snippets of gameplay of it in youtube, so safe to say.. your dream mixup of RoN + L4D was nearly a proper game at one point in the mid-to-late 00's.
You know swa ft 4r had so much going for it... Like it was a genuine next step in tactical shooter presentation and gameplay and even adding that little spites of narrative that we were always denied from things like rainbow 6... And coming off the back of system shock with the spiritual successor just around the corner.... That's just about the best wayTo set up 15 years of advancing immersive Sims With utter disappointment... Going from swat 4 and system shocked 2 To a half-life clone that I had to run an external program just to get the FOv To even remotely look like I was holding it, and this was on a 4 by 3 monitor LOLI can Only Imagine how Bad it would have been on 16 by 9...
The fact that people actually... We're okay with bioshock... And like put it even in theSame speaking termsMuch less actually considering it a spiritual successor to a game that it shared none of its gameplay with other than maybe vending machines, On the heels of expanding what could have been anUtter Treat, In enhancing immersive Sim gameplay and systems from a controls And interactive aspect... Bringing back a lot of things we lost in the switch to System shock 2... I'm doing so and a much moreUser friendly manner...
And we got underwater half-life with unreal poppin And more spongy bullet sponges And less feeling like you're actually doing any of the things... And you know, none of system shock stuff.... Certainly none of the swat stuff...
I feel like the devastating the directions they took The Deus X sequel Over at the ion storm split Was Somehow better... It was like they took once again, the wrong lessons from success... And clearly What the genre needed Was to just get rid of the concept in the first place.... Since they had removed all of the gameplay part and the immersion part That they should also just remove Any of the other parts And try and make a 1/2 life game.. So... Somehow worse...
And we would never see another swat game againUntil somebody literally made the ultimate fan project Near 20 years later... And bioshock would be the most successful of the... Games labeled as a Immersive sim... Or tangentally grouped in system shock As a lineage or concept....
Man the The worst thing about all of the innovations and promise of the mid 2000s for gaming was Being given that taste of what it could have been.. I feel like it might have been better if we just hadn't been given the taste, it still would have been bad because it still would have been a regression, Like ghost recon and rainbow 6 were already things, swat 3 was already a thing flashpoint was already a thing flashpoint was already a thing.... Hell soldier of fortune 2 What's way more of a sim hybrid Held the first one was... Actually I think elite force was as well Since we're talking about other alternate directions that...
Let's just say Quake 4 would have been even less disappointing If things like far cry And fear hadn't been Compressed in so closely, But as long as you Only looked in the ed direction, instead of the raven direction The direct comparison to directly actual things that they had done significantly more so Before a lot of people were doing it and implementing it Into the main stay... Like it Might have still Pulled it off... I mean doom 3 was Not much special but, With Quake 4 being more disappointing in that regard, And a very similar comparison, If you didn't think too hard you wouldn't expect A raven game....
But What irrational did... They released an Apex irrational game, And then tried to gas light you Into thinking that They had surpassed it in every way by making A design opposite almost in philosophy and you know everything else...
And somehow still Pulled it off so well that people will talk about dark messiah in the same sentence as a genre LOL...

@@dsdkall3564Field of View slider. It's a bit hard to describe but it basically changes how far to the sides you can see with your camera. Higher fov means that you can see further with your peripheral vision.

“Nothing is more realistic than lens flare”
Me with astigmatism: “why are you booing, he’s right?”
Whenever I see someone complain about "overuse of lens flares" in games or movies I just _know_ they don't suffer like we do lmao
lens flare excels at mimicking the imperfections of a lens, and the imperfections of our eyes
Glad I wasn't the only one with this thought :D
fr tho, though my eyes are so fucked that turning them on in game is almost too much top kek
i dont like it games however because i cant stand it in real life
The desert eagle IS freakishly large, and, in fact, a toy.
yeah this bugged me too, L4D2's stock deagle is in fact a quite realistic depiction of how the gun appears in real life. if you look up videos of someone holding and shooting one, it's comically oversized and does look like a toy. it's also extremely impractical, pretty much never used in any real law enforcement or military application, and most people own it because it's *that* gun (and because having a pistol that shoots .50 cal bullets is pretty neat to most gun people). however, most games scale it down since making it look normal sized and without the insane recoil works better i guess.
@@dotdashit's not that big, it depends on who's holding the gun
The DE isn't that large. It's a freakishly large handgun but it's still a handgun. The one in-game is probably one and a half times the size of the real thing. @@dotdash
It annoys me that noone is bringing up Querentin's L4D1+2 remix animations. They literarily make it look like it should in vanilla game with L4D1 view model position and walking animations, while keeping good reload animations from L4D2. It makes the animations smooth, fixes stupid CSS animations on MP5 and SG556, giving them ones that fit from L4D2 ones like miliary rifles/HK G3's animations to Mp5 and AK tones to SG556 with it being fixed to match real life versions unlike CS Source models.
@@102ndsmirnov7 L4D1+2 remix makes it proper, its not too small and not to large. Its mostly down to idiotic Call of Duty viewmodel positioning in L4D2. That mod family fixes it for every single weapon except for AWP and Scout. Its making it as polished as L4D1 was.
SCP: 5k is a pretty decent Ready or Not + L4D2 game

As someone with an astigmatism, I can confirm. Them thangs are everywhere, just not accessible to all the rest of you.

Like playing videogames

@@NorttVander thats how i feel whenever i play video games nowadays
@@Chris-jr2nu be productive at least in on thing before playing bro and try to stick at good games, not the stupid ones even if they're hyped. in that way you tend to see gaming as any other leisure during productivity breaks and won't feel like you're an idle mf wasting your life in useless stuff
11:22 you can just hold shift to walk, which I sometimes do to mimic this effect. But having the ability to walk faster is too nice to pass up, especially when you're in a wide open area or trying to dodge infected.

@@oxydayz thank you random citizen
It's been like this for almost every valve games. Shifting is significantly more slower than the mod tho

Unkn0wn, damn, never thought I would hear from him again. He was a well known animator, specially in CS:S and L4D2 afterward, for making some sick animations for the default skins, to make the game better.
I also started to feel more interested in turning l4d2 into a more "cool tactical soldiers killing zombies" style game for a while now, there are several mods that you used that I also usually use in my games. A while ago I played it again this way and it's helping me a lot to inspire me to write a zombie comic with more "tactical" protagonists. amazing video! I'm glad to know that there are more people who appreciate the strange mix of tactics with zombies
What's most amazing isn't really that you can do it with LD2, it is that you can this stuff with just mods for 2004 engine, modders most likely did amazing stuff, and engine still can hold it, big clap clap for both modders and engine developers, you made stuff that even after 20 years looks and feels amazing. Just bravo.

Installing reshade at step two is a great way to rename the video “making the most realistic Left4Dead2 slideshow”
First
Do you have framerate issues with Reshade? If so, how the hell?
Do you game on a toaster?
@@steveman751 wym how the hell
Reshade is usually pretty easy to run, especially on older games like this. ENB is the thing that will slideshow your games.
the colour, the graphic, the tint.... made its just like DLC of Back 4 Blood game
ive been wanting to do something like this to l4d2 for a while now im so glad i can just download your collection and enjoy i really didnt feel like modding it myself im so hyped for this
FYI : Extended Common Infected does nothing on its own, you need to install a population mod in order for it to work.
elaborate
@karsgaming69 Extended Common Infected only adds new models that modders can use in their population mods.
An example of a population mod that I personally use is Immersive Common Infected (Extended Commons Patch).
This mod uses the models from Extended Common Infected and adds them to appropriate areas, spicing up the variety of zombies.

Btw your content is great, just the overall production but also your attitude
You never put down other creators or developers during the video and it was nice and refreshing
Keep up the amazing content
The most unrealistic part of this modpack is that zombies still dont hear gunshots that are right next to them
Depends. Maybe the infection renders them deaf somehow.
(its actually gameplay balance so u wont alert all the infected in the level and have it all empty after shooting the first infected you see)
Nah they get attracted to pipe bombs and car alarms. Surely a gun shot would get their attention from 2 meeters away...

i love your intro and editing style bro. keep it up!👍
This just helped me realize how much I don't care about realistic game graphics. As cool as all of this is, it doesn't change the game in any meaningful way, it is the same game, perhaps with some of the artstyle ruined. Reminds me of how some new games look amazing but aren't all too fun.
I don't know how many people are happy doing this, but I can personally play games on low settings fine. Even l4d2 I can play happy on low and after some time I won't even remember what the settings are at.
I feel like people who care this much about graphics are the same to always play games with an fps counter shown, obsessing over the performance. But we really should care less about graphics, care less about staring at an fps counter, and just enjoy the game. Let yourself be lost in the game for hours on end.
haha I feel called out with the fps counter. I know what you're getting at though and mostly agree. I'd also say what passes as realism to most is laughable, it's just military esq chic and heavily saturated filters.
Based post
Graphics matter though. People always talk shit about graphics being important, but a vast majority of them would pick the good graphics version of a game over an outdated bad one.
@@olivercharles2930
Most PS2 games aged better graphically than the 360/PS3 era, and anyone playing the old games today, could testify to their quality.
PS4-Xbone era games, and the 360/PS3, most of those games have aged like milk. Their "good graphics" are doodoo butter in less than a half decade.
Sure there are obvious exceptions, but, not enough.

Absolute 10/10 video, definitely subbing. Keep it up!
I'm going to be honest, that mod that keeps you in first person, specifically for healing and the hunter, is making me feel sick. But staying in first person when getting stumbled is an actual good change. Besides that, I think most of these mods are great.
I honestly was thinking the same when i saw that in the video
The mod itself oftentimes break so when you get knocked down by a charger or a hunter and somebody saves you as quick as possible, the camera breaks where funnily enough, the camera would instead end up looking like a unrecord type "bodycam"
I winced a bit when he mentioned bringing in Black Mesa's tilting when strafing because I accidentally got nauseous without knowing why while watching a Let's Play.
@@firkejdjneii28283That “unrecord” looks great too, maybe that’s the key to “realism”
The thing that annoys me the most about “”””””””””””rEaLiSm””””””” videos is that they never actually are about realism and instead just making everything overly tactical and militaristic.IMO I would have rather had a true realism experience and just try to ground the existing cast and weapons without over complicating things.(Not trying to degrade anyone)
Exactly
Respectfully, kinda the point of those videos man, not everybody is gonna like or think the same thing
These tactical mods are gays af
sorry
and also, the skybox changes and the reflection changes aren't realistic at all. it's as if this guy hasn't been outside for months and thinks the sky looks as picturesque as aurora borealis. the clouds look very cartoonish - they're literally a gas in real life, not a solid shape. and no, concrete and brick walls do NOT visibly reflect objects
"I don't really think any of the guns are necessarily unrealistic, besides maybe the Desert Eagle that's big as hell for no reason."
I mean, that's a pretty accurate description of that nearly-five-pounds-when-loaded hunk of a pistol that is the Desert Eagle. 😅
I think the only reason people think the DE is normalish size is because Arnold Schwarzenegger's hand is just that big.
the best way to play L4D is with no bots, no teammates, & a mod that replaces special infected spawns with small hordes
L4D is an amazing coop arcade shooter, but when you remove the coop and the arcade it turns into something else entirely. it turns out that a lot of what removes the tactical feeling L4D could have is that you aren't focused on the normal enemies bc ur keeping an eye out for the specials who are the real threat and allowing your teammates to mop up the normals -- so it doesnt matter if you walk into a room & theres 2 enemies in the corner in your blind spot bc zoey or ellis will get them for you & ur looking out for smokers anyway. if you remove all of that except the normal zombies, it does turn highly tactical -- you have to kill 100% of the zombies yourself and getting hit in the back is the easiest way to lose a run bc nobody will clear your back for you while you hold the horde off so you wind up playing the game much more closely to the way you'd play a SWAT game, except also sometimes you have to run screaming away from the horde while firing an M60 into the crowd
also pairs well with this setup; 100% accuracy pistols, replacing the deagle with a revolver that can fire as quickly as you can pull the trigger but only has 6 shots, locked to walking speed (which you already mentioned), no slowdown when hit by zombies, an extra slot for melee weapons, being able to put shotguns in your secondary slot, the ability to self revive if you dont get hit while picking yourself up, infinite ammo piles replaced with the finite ammo deployable pickup, ammo deployables get their own equip slot, & the campaign resets if you die
you've never felt anything worse in your life than opening the door of the last safehouse in the campaign and hearing the horde stinger, and then hearing it go off again 2 more times in the space of a second and realizing you're about to have a very bad time
you should make a workshop collection of these mods, lots of people would love to try that
this looks pretty good, although i am curious as to what it'd look like with lower saturation because i think the high saturation takes away from the gritty look.
then again u were going for ready so the saturation makes sense

1:33 and 7:57 I just love how the moment ratlobber mentions "realistic", you are jumpscared by something from Blue Archive, the least "realistic" looking item on the shown workshop pages.
You can't escape Gacha games in Left 4 dead.
Insane video, thank you soooo much! i have a friend that doesnt like left 4 dead 2 that much (but still thinks its a good game) and instead he likes games like unrecord, ready or not, call of duty and a lot of other tactical games, and thanks to ratlobber, i bet i can make him love left 4 dead 2 because of the collection that you put in the description.
Wow... Thank you for this video. It really opened my eyes for such an amazing new experience. An very very strong reason to go back to L4D
Listening to what ratlobber's dream game is, I have a feeling he is going to love _No More Room in Hell._

It amazes me how much you can make L4D and GMoD look like real life, this is why I subscribed to you
This video shows again the pain and feel of success when it comes to set up your games with mods. It is a pain to gain them all and to make it work, but it feels so good when it runs and is your experience as you like it.
I think the closest to a zombie game with somewhat a realism feel is No More Room in Hell. It's a free-to-play game that used to be a Source mod that emphasizes on realism and immersion. Played it a ton and it's a lot of fun especially the objective maps.
NMRiH will have a sequel that will be released hopefully around this year (probably this November) on Early Access with a more modern and upgraded feel, especially that the devs are working on it full time. Hopefully it will turn out great since the first game is what I look for in a zombie game.
Totally agree
Big fan of this game played it a ton as a kid
When there is no more room in hell
The dead will walk the earth
No More Room in Hell actually got one of my friends to buy me L4D cause we hated No More Room so much and he wanted to play that.
No More Room is really interesting with the whole slower, survival-type aspect of completing an objective but the game is ruined by zombies respawning. It completely invalidates the survival and resource management aspect.
My favorite L4D2 realism mods are the ones that turn all of the graffiti in the game into Jaden Smith's weirdass twitter posts, and another one that makes the hunters scream SHIA SURPRISE! every time they jump. It's very atmospheric having to ponder what our eyes are while Shia Lebeouff is getting on all fours and breaking into a sprint behind me.
I'm kinda glad that the game came out so long ago. If the game came out today, there'd be weekly/monthly battlepasses (that you have to buy), it'd be live service, require you to always be online, have 50 paid dlc maps (that are poorly thrown together), have game changing features locked behind a DLC, and after a year or two, the servers would go down, you'd lose everything you ever had, and you'd no longer have access to the game despite buying it.
I love the editing style man. 💯

Honestly I'm surprised he didn't install mods for realistic magazine sizes, almost every weapon in L4D2 has way more bullets per mag than it's supposed to. That's the first mechanics change I would make if I was making a realism mod pack.
@@QuintessentialWalrus Seems like he didn't aim to realism, but rather tacticoolism. Idk how to call it.
@@fantastikboom1094 It is called realism. It is a vague word that can mean all kinds of things in different places. In video games it can often mean realistic-ish.
@@olivercharles2930 What he did barely looks realistic, even though he mostly aimed on graphics. Result really looks bad. Unrealistic sky, broken lighting, out of place playermodels. He barely touched the gameplay.
So I think "tacticoolism" is more fitting word, if it exists.
You did a wonderful job. It sucks how that new back for blood or whatever game shows that we can get an awesome remake. Left 4 dead is just perfection. I got it for Christmas one year after my parents decided to get me three games and that was one of them; they just winged it. Amazing game.
Ive been learning unreal in the attempt to make a tactical style zombie shooter like this. It may be a few weeks, months, or even a couple years, but once I get a semi functional concept I'd love to send you a copy to give feedback
Thank you Ratlobber for making videos
Reshade is ironic because its goal is to improve the game's graphics but it has the downside of making it look worse, including the HUD
Also, much of the "Modern Warfare" weapon mods who are by one author aren't actually from Modern Warfare. When I called the author out on this they blocked me lol
From where tho? Just curious now
@@fantastikboom1094 it's been a while since I checked, but i remember some were from other COD games like Black Ops Cold War, but this wasn't specified in the mod descriptions so when I corrected him, Mav blocked me. Some aren't even from COD - they're just the same L4D weapon like the chainsaw or golf club, but they slap the MW19 branding over it with no explanation as to why? Is it the animations? MW19 had no chainsaw or golf club. It's just a perplexing choice.
I can only assume they were concerned about trying to maintain a sense of quality rather than being truthful. It's weird though, because the collection containing those mods is called Warzone ports which is more accurate because those guns were ported to Warzone - but he still claims they are from Modern Warfare 2019 for whatever reason. There's a distinction between Warzone and Modern Warfare that Mav doesn't seem to realise. Ah well, I quit modding L4D2 a while ago anyway so I don't really care if a mod author won't let me comment on mods I'm not gonna see. It's still a bit of a bummer though that I'm not allowed to set the record straight.
13:53 that straight up looks like Mirrors Edge Catalyst, and I love it
I used to love this game! At some point back then I learned to mod the actual weapons, since the game doesn't have realistic clip sizes for most of them. With realistic clip sizes, like 5 shells in the small shotgun & 30 rounds for the assault rifles, the game became more challenging.
It's usually 6 for shotguns? I agree tho, just saying.
ratlobber never fails to fill me up
Kind of strange how other content creators say "This is so and so, thanks for watching", but Ratlobber says "I've BEEN Ratlobber, thanks for watching".
Kind of like Ratlobber is his character he steps into to do these videos.
This is freakin awesome, it’s great to see a favorite game of a past generation still having a vibrant and very much alive culture around it. Beautiful video as well. Now… you gotta make the most scuffed L4D2 experience 😂
There are a lot of awesome custom mods for this game, the other day I found a decked out M4 with some awesome custom animations and sounds. Way better than looking at the MW reloads for the one millionth time.
Shout-out to modders for making the game more entertaining
>realistic
>mw animations
Yeah no pal lol
Yes, pal. It is realistic, even if it isn't literally real life.
@@olivercharles2930 no pal, its not. Cope harder
You said a few set for words that got me excited to think about and they were “ Remastered left for dead”
Supercool edit on video.
Cool mod pack
ratlobber never fails to make me
bro said cod is one of the most realistic shooters
The game he mentioned has some of the best graphics and most realistic weapon models and animations out of the whole cod series which is probably what he meant
downloading it now, cant wait to try it out.
I also attempted to make the game more realistic last year! Except I focused much more on the weapons the player has available to them. Considering the game takes place in the US and the playable characters were all civilians, it didn't make much sense to me that they had access to like, automatic weapons that wouldn't be used by local police and military. I swapped out most of them for different AR pattern rifles.
Ofc in the long run this doesn't matter much, but I enjoyed it. Great video!
The original rag doll physics made it more realistic. They should have never changed it, the way zombies dropped from headshots was so satisfying.
SCP 5k is probably the closest game you'll get to a mix between L4D and RoN. But then again SCP 5K isn't just zombies.
omg i love this video so much with all the guns !!
Bro im so obsessed with your editing style and all those different intros beginning in the videos, high quality videos keep it up.
If you want to experience something like l4d, but as a tactical fps, you should check out SCP 5K
Nvidia Remix Tools have been slowly rolling out to the public. You could get L4D2 to run with actual raytracing with that tool. Hard part is figuring out how.
Also if you're on Nvidia GeForce Experience has GeForce Filters, which are built-in Reshade style shaders / filters. It takes some tweaking but you could approximate the look here with less of a drag on performance.
@@therexbellator I use those filters daily and I completely disagree. Yes, you can improve the look of a game with them and they do look quite nice. But they do not come even close to competing with Remix and it’s raytracing with fully remastered assets and textures.
@@Stezell I said "Also" I'm not correcting you, it is there for anyone who has access to them. Not everyone has the most recent RTX card, myself included :b
Thanks man, gonna try all of this.
Your editing style is so uncanny, and yet so unique. Never change. The weird ass 1980s=1990s commercial style really is interesting.
Ratlobber never fails to make me think "This would be much easier if he just ported the maps into Gmod"
lens flair = realizm
Amazing stuff. The mod community as always is incredible. Genuinely are clever and dedicated people.
Also, 3:28 only now I just realised that Whitaker's Gun Shop is likely a reference to James Bond The Living Daylights. Brad Whitaker, an antagonist, is a shady arms dealer 😅😆
Damn, all this time like... 🤭
Great vid. I agree that the sky boxes improved the graphics and I’m glad you at least pointed out how they ruined the mood they went for in their art style.
ratlobber never fails to give me frontshots
The one thing I hate about reshade is how it looks like your character is working off of half an hour of sleep with how blurry and faded stuff looks.
It's even worse when you throw chromatic aberration on.
It's a shame because there's some really cool features in reshade too.
Is there any way to turn off bloom? That would help.
the title caught my attention, the Drum&Bass forced my hands to watch every second of the video. well done mate.
The 4k textures and reshade really brought it together fr.
