I was expecting it to happen since you can see something stand up behind the TV in 2:21 ( in the room's corner ) Btw I looked at it in Max resolution to make sure but it doesn't look like Hunter It looks like the guy from "Nice opinion, I'm inside your house" guy

That's some alternative universe where Left4Dead Timeline got invaded by the combine, so now the Left4dead crew are kind of Rebels and trying to survive a zombie apocalypse. I like that story

[@microsoftsam810]

You're Pretty Good!

[@tonypeppermint5329]

Ooo, that'll be a fun story to follow.

[@badluck7286]

To think about it, It'd be an alternative half-life timeline where the headcrab zombie kinda virus mutated and started spreading outside of the facility, but more rapidly and not through headcrabs anymore, later on the combine try to regain control of earth and fight against heavily mutated zombies and rebel survivors of the apocalypse. A game with this lore would be awesome

Thank you for an excellent video to wake up to this Saturday Morning.

[@microsoftsam810]

You are welcome :)

[@thegamingandy4603]

This is actually pretty decently made. :) It's got that REC 2 vibe because of the view is Louis's helmet (with a FPS/POV sight of sorts) and it has a sort of Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City action feel because you have a gunfight between two military factions and you have the infected right alongside them. And you got Louis and Francis as military soldiers? That earns bonus points for me :) I just do not see how this did not get an award. If I could, I would give this video the "Best Action Movie of the Year" award in a heartbeat, despite it being so short. :D

just letting you know for future videos, if you're using a suppressor in a in close environment it will be very loud almost the same without a suppressor at all. Majority of a suppressor is for far distance and to decrease hear loss. Overall nice animations and keep doing you.

[@microsoftsam810]

Wouldn't a suppressor prevent gunshots being heard in different parts of the building? So if you fired in one room the people across the street wouldn't hear it? I guess people in the same building (nearby rooms) would still hear.

Although not a tactical shooter. Whenever I get a chance, I like to switch things up and play it tactical. On rare cases, I do get a team that moves in sync this way. Little to no friendly fire and damage, no special infected can sneak up on us and tanks and witches are handled with ease. Most of the time, people join my game and start running towards the end as fast as possible. xD
