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...

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.

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.

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.

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

I just felt like I had to come back and say that L4D2 became so much more fun to play after all the mods and Reshade was installed. You just feel so much more into it!! I've had fun with silly mods when I was many years younger, but this was just so much more entertaining. The tactical movement speed makes the game arguably harder since you can't just run away from dangers as easily as before, and the ADS guns almost makes it feel like a completely different game. I didn't add the bodycam or the swat costumes, but the game feels extremely immersive without those anyway.

@@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.

Look, I understand what someone is going for when they make a modpack like this... But (to me) stuff like this totally messes with the game's artistic direction (and often looks bad while doing it). SSR could look pretty nice in some spots, but having it on literally ALL THE TIME, makes everything REFELTCTIVE. Why would you want carpet to be reflective?? Making dirty, mid-apocalypse environments overly reflective and clean, is the opposite of a realistic look. I know eye-catching video titles are how KZbinrs get views, which equals ad revenue and potentially sustainable living- But calling this modpack "realistic" is silly. I know there are people who have been playing LFD for years, and want to give the game a new look, but (and this coming from someone who started playing in 2021) LFD looks fucking great man! It has such an iconic and (importantly), a readable art style! It was designed with clarity in mind, working in harmony with the gameplay, and vice versa! There are some really good mods used in this pack (Like dynamic light sources), that tastefully enhance LFD's art style and somewhat improve gameplay. But so many of these end up just reducing the clean and simplistic look that is apart of LFD's identity. This comment is more emblematic of how I feel about graphics personally; people place far, far too much importance on the technical graphics of a game (like ray-tracing for instance). Ray-traced reflections do not SOLEY make a game look good. At their best, they *enhance* a game's art direction! Why do many classic older games still look good? Art direction! Halo:CE, TF2, Dishonored, Dark Souls, Bioshock 1+2, Resident Evil 4 (Not the remake), Half-life 2+it's episodes, and of course, Left for dead 1+2! They all still look beautiful in their own way, even over a decade later. Why? Becuase their art DIRECTION is beautiful! A clear artistic vision, even if rendered with a chewed-on school pencil, will forver look good! But a muddy and unclear vision cannot be saved by even the highest quality pencil. Art direction is timeless and it always will be. I feel it is very important to distinguish between what looks "good" in a game, and what FITS in a game. Many games look beautiful and have complex and technical graphics (Read or Not & Red Dead 2 are both prime examples), Ready or Not was DESIGNED with such graphics in mind. Sure, LFD was going for a more lifelike art style (especially when considering the time it was made) but it is critical to remember that a game's art direction (at least the good ones!) are not made in SPITE of their graphical limitations, but are often made IN TANDEM WITH THEM. Creativity is spawned from restrictions, adding more pretty reflections does not make an already artisticly sound game look better... It CHANGES IT, for better or for worse! At the end of the day, I am not at all opposed to people modding games like this! But artistic intent and merit should be taken into account and considered. If LFD was remasterted, and it looks like, as Ratlobber says, "A game that could've come out five years ago", I will be sad. As it means that LFD will have been stripped of it's original art style, a style which I find to be tasteful, real, and beautifully human. LFD's cast is not comprised of four face-less swat term operatives. It contains REAL people. With grimey cloths, dirty faces, low-res texutres, and wonderfully expressive faces. (Edits for spelling)

Also, the game ends up feeling kind of odd in these modpacks because, excluding Bill [who is an old man who hasn't seen warfare in like 40 years], the whole point of L4D is that the survivors are just regular people forced to become killing machines. They're *supposed* to be a little amateur and awkward, they aren't exactly trained for this, and the wider gameplay mechanics reflect this.

Gotta say, this series was a treat to come across. I've always wanted too see the grunts get the spotlight, and now they do, but not only that, we get too see there typical day as well. Nice slice of life.

18:08 Well, it isn't exactly Left 4 Dead, but there's a game called SCP:5000/SCP:Pandemic, it's basically your slow paced tacticool hardcore shooter mechanics, but you've got zombies, anomalies and OpFor with guns, I would say it's the closest thing to combining both Ready or Not and L4D.
