About Gore Reviews:
Gore Reviews is a review series reviewing blood and gore effects in games that are considered gory.

Attention to detail will be rewarded with high scores, while flashy, but superficial effects (such as blood puffs) will not impact the score much.
The final score is calculated by the following categories:
Body damage - 30%
Environment - 30%
Animations and sounds - 30%
The feel - 10%

Why is gore important? It's simply feedback for the action on the screen. What's more fun, seeing detailed response for every hit you make on an enemy or seeing the enemy sleeping peacefully after a mortar exploded by their feet? Compare 1987`s Robocop movie to 2014`s Robocop movie. Also "Saving Private Ryan" wouldn't have nearly the same effect without the gore too.

Spike's mod to make blood and more bodies stay:
Go in your Left 4 Dead 2 folder, go in left4dead2 inside the main L4D2 folder (yo dawg..) and then go in cfg folder.
Example:
E:\Games\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\cfg

In that folder create a file called autoexec.cfg

Open the file with notepad and paste the following inside:
sv_cheats 1
violence_agibs 1
violence_hgibs 1
violence_ablood 1
violence_hblood 1
cl_show_bloodspray 1
bloodspray 1
mp_decals 6000
r_decals 4096
cl_detailfade 3500
cl_ragdoll_collide 1
cl_ragdoll_physics_enable 1
g_ragdoll_lvfadespeed 0
g_ragdoll_fadespeed 0

Save, and that's it! You will need to restart L4D2 if it's running. Visit Spike on his Youtube channel:
