Left 4 Dead 2 - Last Breath *Expert*
1Major vent of anger this episode but i was just so frustrated with the state of things I felt like things needed said. Video is edited because i spent way too long on the finale. If you triggered by anger or rage skip this video. I HEAVILY debated even uploading this but i felt it was very important to show the frustration side of things that I have with these custom campaigns sometimes.
I usually judge a campaign on a scale of 1-10. The things i consider are balance which includes: Respawn closets, resources, event clarity (Is a this a holdout or a run/ gauntlet? A run is running to a specific area to turn off a button, music box or break something to stop a horde and a gauntlet is a run to the saferoom.) and tank and witch responsibility. (Accounting for not being able to crown a witch on Expert Realism and having molotovs around, placing a witch into a wall her head sticks into so she cannot be crowned, blocking a run, gauntlet event by putting her in a doorway. Tank irresponsibility would be randomly falling down a pit and getting jumped in a small room with no area to fight it in.)
I also use Admin Menu and Admin System which i almost STRICTLY use to fix bugs or troubleshoot problems. The med kit bug is a frequent bug that has been in the game since launch but has been made worse since The Last stand update (Not arguing over this I know what I'm talking about) because it was rushed out mainly due to a popular youtuber with an ego and harassing developers but whatever. So, for example, if let's say I play a custom and the survivors no matter what I do refuse to pick up med kits. I will give them the med kits through the menu and the leftover kits on the ground are NOT allowed to be picked up. Next, I will use noclip if I get lost and cannot figure out where to go. Once I figure it out, I will self-terminate in the video game (YouTube doesn't like the other word, but you all know what I mean.) and play it normally. If I crash at any point, I will load the previous level go to the saferoom and damage the survivors and give them the weapons they had before the crash and play up until where we crashed through God mode and then turn it off. If anyone gets stuck, I will warp them after a certain period of time or to start an event every survivor needs to be present but won't go to the area to start the event.
Lastly, I have two scripts for the m60 one which lets me reload it and gives it 800 extra ammo and the other script allows it to take ammo from an ammo can (Same with the Grenade Launcher) and goes on the back when it hits zero. I use that for fun outside these reviews. I have a rule though when I'm doing these reviews, I will only use the base 150 ammo on the m60, and I cannot get ammo from the can or reload it at any time. As far as I am aware I have no scripts that change damage numbers or reload time but even if I did, I just don't care to be honest. For the grenade launcher all I will do is not grab ammo from the can as it doesn't come with extra abnormal ammo. The one and only circumstance i can reload the m60 is if I'm stuck or the campaign or map is shit and I want to use my time left alive doing better things and not wasting my time then I will Give myself an M60 and reload it just to quickly finish the campaign or whatever I was stuck on.
If you have any questions about the mods, I use I can try and help but keep in mind some of my mods are old and come from places like game maps and might not exist anymore.
Any questions feel free to ask
Final Rating 5/10(Upped one point on reflection) - Too long on maps 1 and 4 and those are the maps that count. This campaign is frustrating because i really wanted to like it and the campaigns map design is not bad by any means but often times things carry on for way too long and expect way too much that only 1% of players will be able to enjoy. You want people to play your campaign not quit in the middle of it and i was damn near close on a few occasions
