Play Left 4 Dead on Team Fortress 2 Maps! watch!

kotaku.com — Not much of a surprise this is a possibility, the two games do use the same game after all. But Left 4 Dead hasn't even launched and someone's already modding it (probably the demo, anyway.) Here's nine minutes — reloading! — of Left 4 Dead gunplay on TF2's Dustbowl map (slightly customized). Warning: loud volume.

    • fibreoptix, on 11/17/2008, -8/+1Game probably will not be available till tomorrow. Not at 12:01 am, so don't bother waiting.
      • Foenetik, on 11/17/2008, -0/+6wrong. "Those who pre-order the game via Steam save 10% off the regular price and may pre-load the game so they are able to play at 12:01 am EST on November 18, 2008 when the game is made available."
      • fibreoptix, on 12/06/2008, -0/+1I was wrong. But I was basing my comment on TF2's release.
  • GawtMilk, on 11/17/2008, -4/+20Nice story, badwithcomputer. For those of you who want to try this yourself, here's a link to the guide on how to play these "custom" maps in L4D. A note for you guys though; L4D doesn't support water. Touch water and you just fall to your death.

    • therightclique, on 11/17/2008, -0/+21It supports water, dude. It just doesn't do water the way TF2 did. The game has water in it.
  • Marcus677, on 11/17/2008, -0/+10Loving the demo already i cant wait for the custom maps

    • bearcat8543, on 11/17/2008, -2/+17i like the part where you are unoriginal and unfunny and take an already dead meme and beat it into the ground ever further.
  • staffell, on 11/17/2008, -1/+67"the two games do use the same game after all"

    lol
    • Thuktun, on 11/17/2008, -0/+10I'm sure the submitter was grasping for "game engine".
  • dagnabbit, on 11/17/2008, -0/+12There's a video of someone playing L4D on de_dust as well. I guess you can use The Director on pretty much any map. That's pretty sweet.
  • bababooey141, on 11/17/2008, -0/+58Now we need the tf2 characters in left4dead

  • acegi, on 11/17/2008, -0/+42expect explosion of custom maps for PC.

    or get an xbox version if you wanna get stuck with the same maps for next couple months
    • sexybobo, on 11/17/2008, -0/+17Valve has said they will be releasing the new maps they make on xbox+pc but xbox might have to pay for it.
      But yes you are loosing out on the awesome community maps.
      Also the maps valve makes will have lots of replay ability. I have logged 30 hours on the 1.5 map demo.
      • ssj4vegita2002, on 11/17/2008, -0/+11Correction, XBOX users WILL pay for it. Microsoft doesn't do free content unfortunately. Plus, xbox users won't get all the custom stuff users are gonna make.
      • theonlybradever, on 11/17/2008, -1/+6@ssj4vegita2002:

        that's not entirely true (ms DOES do some free content), but i'm sure any add-ons for Left 4 Dead will cost money.
      • markwilcox, on 11/17/2008, -0/+3They don't give away content if it's any good. So there's really 0% chance that you're going to get it for free.
      • sexybobo, on 11/17/2008, -0/+2Valve is giving the content away to pc users but microsoft is making them pay for the bandwidth for the xbox users so they are charging xbox users the money.
      • hauz20, on 11/18/2008, -0/+2Does no one know how to spell "losing" anymore?
    • rheaume, on 11/17/2008, -0/+2Consoles can hoop themselves
  • scabbers, on 11/17/2008, -0/+6This is definitely a good thing that maps can be converted, because I want some crazy assed maps with secrets and defensive positions.
    • Phyltre, on 11/17/2008, -0/+2I'm guessing you play Zombie Survival via Garry's Mod, because you just described it.
      • scabbers, on 11/17/2008, -0/+3Well I used to play zm maps in counter-strike source. I think some of those could work as left4dead maps, although the 'barricade' thing probably wouldn't carry over.
  • NotYourProdigy, on 11/17/2008, -0/+10Just played the demo online. Freaking sweet zombie shooter.
  • Philosomatika, on 11/17/2008, -0/+2I love this game and cant wait for it to be released and the fact these custom maps are already here just makes it that much better.
  • dagnabbit, on 11/17/2008, -1/+9Someone should make a diggers playing L4D group on Steam.
    • TheKingInYellow, on 11/17/2008, -2/+16how about you go ahead and do that instead of waiting around for someone else? be a leader.
      • raisedinhell, on 11/17/2008, -0/+3how about he doesn't, because there are already hundreds of l4d groups
      • dagnabbit, on 11/17/2008, -0/+3Maybe i WILL...when I get to my PC in a few hours. If I do I'll submit it to digg tomorrow (and it will probably get 3 total diggs).
    • sexybobo, on 11/17/2008, -1/+5http://steamcommunity.com/groups/digg
      Already a steam group for digg don't need a l4d specific one.
    • P1um, on 11/17/2008, -1/+4I would rather die than play with diggers.
  • BlaenkDenum, on 11/17/2008, -1/+6Axl's TF2 Server [ 216.6.232.168:27015 ] has a nice custom map created by Axl himself called zf_dustbowl, it uses the zombie fortress mod. Obviously it's not Left 4 Dead action but it's still really fun and might give you an idea of what it might be like to play dustbowl with zombies. As most of you know, Dustbowl is split up into three separate 'mini maps' which are played back to back, but zf_dustbowl joins them all together. It's really fun :)
    • PhoenixAvatar2, on 11/17/2008, -0/+2Never heard of Zombie Fortress. How does it work? Just generic waves of zombies?
  • bjs3171, on 11/17/2008, -13/+9Please don't digg me down.
    I've played a little of the demo, and in terms of gameplay, it seems like little more than a straight up shooter. That can get boring real fast. Is there more to this game?
    • SuperVepr308, on 11/17/2008, -0/+5Given that it is Valve, I expect it will rock harder as the game goes on.
    • bossm4n, on 11/17/2008, -0/+13I think the AI is incredible for starters. Second, you MUST play as a team. Try to go all Rambo, and as soon as a Smoker or Hunter grabs you, you're done. Even playing the demo, you can tell what a great job Valve did on balance. I love the weapons, aiming, power, etc, especially the double pistols and auto shotgun. Again, only having played the demo, IMHO I think this is one of the best shooters I've played in the last 5 years. I expect the storyline to be good as well. And since this is Valve and the HL2 engine, the game scales extremely well.
      • Tishiablo, on 11/17/2008, -0/+7Yup listen to this guy ^

        And if you have any friends that are willing to try this out, it's even more fun. Nothing better than 3 other people you know working as a team on expert mode. One of the funnest experiences you can get from a video game.
  • vladin, on 11/17/2008, -2/+2RED #1.. Hey BLU team Scout.. Kisss Myyyy As... Oh Wait....
  • MeatMountain, on 11/17/2008, -1/+3What would be awesome would be if you could field a full team of people playing TF2 classes against people playing a zombie horde. Send in a swarm to distract their sentries then take out their guns with a few boomers!
  • s34mu5, on 11/17/2008, -7/+2old old is old
  • Suits, on 11/17/2008, -0/+23Zombie sappin' mah sentry!
  • YouRookies, on 11/17/2008, -4/+10Just wait until there's a Palin zombie skin.
  • houndeyex, on 11/17/2008, -9/+3Anyone else think this looks like old Counter-strike?
  • SuperVepr308, on 11/17/2008, -3/+3The opening segment for the 360 demo was as close to a Romero scene as you can get. I can't wait for this to come out tomorrow. "My friends laughed at me for going to the gun range during lunch. Who's laughing now?" Classic.
    • valkyries, on 11/17/2008, -1/+4the opening segment for THE game, this is valve here there isnt a big difference between PC>360

      sorry I meant - not > ;)
      • SuperVepr308, on 11/18/2008, -0/+2Point taken. Either way, I was really impressed by it. It had that Dawn of the Dead feel and that just can't be bad.
  • neo991lb, on 11/17/2008, -11/+1L4D is a really fun game. I like the player limit. The server system could use some work.. and it's NOT worth the $49.99 price tag (unless it has a $30 discount).
  • mayonnaiseparty, on 11/17/2008, -0/+3so much work not getting done after midnight
  • NegativeDigg, on 11/17/2008, -6/+1Cool game, buried for the word hecka! I hate that word....also hella is on the list of words i hate.
  • pk7677, on 11/17/2008, -0/+12I wish I can back stab tank on expert...
    • jsdratm, on 11/17/2008, -0/+10No kidding, nothing wrecks an expert run like a tank coming out at the last minute. :'(
      • pk7677, on 11/17/2008, -0/+16or a witch sitting in the middle of a ****ing train...
  • ssj4vegita2002, on 11/17/2008, -0/+35This is definitely gonna -RELOADING!- be one of the best multiplayer games of the year.
  • CJArgus, on 11/17/2008, -0/+8It's a shame I can only digg this once.
  • alphaeno, on 11/17/2008, -0/+8I was on the fence about buying LFD, but I must now...guess I'll be eating ramen for the next week...
  • copypasta, on 11/17/2008, -0/+3I preordered on Friday after a co-worker told me that it was awesome, I was also on the fence about buying it. After playing the demo online probably 50+ times it still hasn't got boring. I love this game and can't wait until tonight. I might be calling in tomorrow.
  • NidStyles, on 11/17/2008, -3/+1W00T! I have tomorrow off. Pre-ordered the day it was announced on Steam, just couldn't handle how buggy the demo was.
    • valkyries, on 11/17/2008, -1/+3the demo has been patched almost a half a dozen times last week....
  • kubedawg, on 11/17/2008, -13/+2Too bad TF2 sucks. DOWNLOAD FORTRESS FOREVER NAO! I DEMAND THEE!
  • IIIKrazyKiDDIII, on 11/17/2008, -2/+2Two, of the 'best games in the world' are using the 'best game in the world's' engine.
  • Ismith988, on 11/17/2008, -0/+1I want to play this!
  • quidpro, on 11/18/2008, -0/+2Interesting how creepy dustbowl can get when using the L4D lighting styles.
  • R0B0Ninja, on 11/18/2008, -1/+0The zombie is a spy!
  • wutimatang, on 11/18/2008, -2/+1Playing the actual full release right now! Fun stuff.
  • RandyGandy, on 11/18/2008, -0/+1just like normal dustbowl... except with less spawn rape
  • Nerolus, on 11/19/2008, -1/+2WHO SEND ALL THESE ZOMBIES TO FITE?!?!
