    I saw the strangest circumstance the other day on that finale map. Me and 3 other randoms online had just set up 2 on stage 2 on the platforms on stairs and as the concert was started it immediately ended the chopper came in tanks were spawned and we had to make a desperate rush for heli. Got some achievement aswell for not leaving stage during the whole fight, in all the years I played this game never seen that happen...

  • @Shwonkz

    I don't speed run and barely know anything about this particular map but I find speed runs fascinating because they're at the essence of trying to master something and be the best at it using every single thing to your advantage in an obsessive manner. And it shatters the notion that gaming is something unambitious losers do, which is a shaming tactic usually engaged in by parents or close family members. I think it's important to succeed in the real world as well, but this can be a big part of it. If you apply this type of passion and meticulous dedication in any area of life I think you stand a great shot at success. Of course, life is not a video game and there are many more variables but i think it still holds true.

    The tick and the input part was really interesting, i grew up playing every valve game under the sun except the left 4 dead games, which I picked up in my 20s so it even felt different and know I know why. I’d been conditioned to expect things to be a certain way, but it’s different in left 4 dead 2 that is too cool.

    • @Vasharan
      @Vasharan 3 роки тому +4

      It may also have to do with L4D being made by Turtle Rock instead of Valve internally, and L4D2 reused a lot of the original game's code and assets, so is probably why it inherited some of its quirks.

    • @iseya3400
      @iseya3400 3 роки тому

      It's not that odd actually. Finales are designed in a way where the players can't go back to the saferoom during a finale. Like the elevator in the deadcenter finale, and that jump to the helicopter landing zone in no mercy. In the concert, it's pretty flat on the ground so when a player triggers the finale, that passage way from the saferoom to the stage closes. Having a surivivor stay there while 1 player triggers the finale will kick those who stayed back.

    nice vid i think personally you should have included everything in one vid or a sum it up kind of thing TLDR. At the roller coaster part you pretty much just refer to a whole separate video when it would have easily been fitting to showcase it here for the extra content and for those unaware especially if theyre just watching a video that randomly comes onto their feed.

    It kicks everyone that is still inside the area and not just the safe room
    Because the shutter door closes and
    Everything inside will despawn/kick because its in a spot no one can access
    For the multiplayer/versus, it is patched but in some cases it still kicks the player/infected
