i find Ellis as my favorite character since hes all genuinely a great guy. his stories and laughs really light up the mood, although he does sometimes bring the team in trouble, often times on himself. hearing the team's mourn for him is as if hearing mourns of a family that had recently lost the youngest brother of the group.
@@darrencohen9343 Damn dawg it’s kinda weird how you were on this exact comment thread at the exact time that this dude advertised a thing so you could use it instantly after
it makes sense they're not close friends like the l4d1 survivors, they only met each other 2 days ago and still don't have a clear understanding of what they were even doing before the apocalypse. all they know is their jobs and how they deal with a situation in front of them, while ellis is more open about his personal life such as friends and family, he's still not entirely trusted, especially by nick. but in l4d1, they've known each other for at most 2 weeks. they've seen what they can do, and some of them knew each other before the apocalypse, such as bill and francis. the 2 act close to each other and have the most interactions out of everyone in the group. so if they see someone they've been fighting alongside finally die, they're gonna be surprised as hell.
It's obvious from his shady backstory that he was taught from life experience to never trust anyone but himself. And he acts that way especially in dead center as he barely cares to even learn his teammates names, probably because he plans to ditch them the moment they're out of the state. But after all they've been through he began to realize he actually found people who don't have any alternative agendas or reasons to stab him in the back, this is a team and they would fight and die for him. It's real nice to see him realize it.

I think this shows the different sort of relationship the two groups have. L4D1’s group has a ‘family’ vibe going, you know that they’ve been a team for a little while before the events of the video game. It makes perfect sense for them to be devastated seeing one of their own die. L4D2’s group were a bunch of unlucky people who had no other choice but to team up at the start of the game. Dead Centre perfectly shows how they see each other as strangers while the later campaigns have their relationship slowly build up as they recognise their teamwork skills, eventually developing a friendly relationship. Since they’ve most likely haven’t had enough time to really get to know each other, it makes sense for them to feel more shocked rather than gutted at the sight of one of them dying. It’s not that they don’t care for them, they just don’t know how to respond to seeing someone they barely knew get killed. It’s details like this that really make me love the storytelling in these games
I agree, but Nick and Francis have some really "mean" lines regarding death of survivors. Those being; Nick: I can think of 2 other people I would rather have seen go first. (He's basically saying he'd rather have Coach/Ellis die rather than Rochelle.) Francis: You and me gotta find find some tougher friends. (That's kind of yikes considering he basically called the dead survivors weak)
@@Xenorvyait's customary for people stricken with grief, especially with tough exteriors, to make dark jokes or matter-of-factly statements in an attempt to avoid their actual suffering. They know it's a joke no one will laugh at, they don't even know why they said it.
5:02 “I’m gonna remember you in my prayers, Ro…” That hit me way harder than it should’ve.

He’s constantly trying to convince everyone and himself that things are gonna be okay, but if someone dies, there is no coming back from that and he knows it, so he drops the whole positive act and lets himself grieve, even if just for a moment or two
@@GAM3R4EVER22 Judging by his tendency to use pills and the fact that he was willing to go to work in the early days of the infection, I am pretty sure that the shock of the reality of the zombie infection led Louis to become overly positive out of fear and anxiety.

I love that so much about l4d2. All the dialog shows such a story between all the survivors. Nick hated everyone but understood that at least coach was the leader.
You can just tell there was soul that went into these lines, not just saying them, but writing them. In L4D, they’ve been together from the beginning, having dealt with a dozen other fights before we played the first campaign. Bill lost so much before this, losing any more breaks him, Zoey can’t stand losing any of them, they made it that far only because they were together, Louis gets angry and yells in a way that he blames himself, and Francis, Francis feels like this is the first time he’s lost something he cared for. In L4D2, it’s their first time stuck together in campaign one, and their bonds grow as it continues. Nick grows more and more disheartened by their deaths, remembering that he’s talked more shit than anything, and you can feel the regret behind his later lines when he realizes that’s the last words they may remember him by. Rochelle try’s to keep her composure, cracking jokes to mask the pain. Coach acts as the leader along with nick, to him, every time they lose someone, it’s on his head, and his conscious. And Elis, he just doesn’t believe it, his words shrivel up in his throat some times and he gets either quiet or can only say some short lines. To him, this is the A team, and it shatters his never ending confidence when someone dies. It shows the soul these games had, showing there was more to them than just copy/paste characters like we get in most games now with generic personalities.
Nick says that quote when Rochelle dies. I can never see Nick liking Ellis the most out of everyone. He finds Ellis so annoying that I could see him banging his head against the wall if they were left alone lol And yes, I know this comment was posted months ago.
Nick: "Coach....whad'ja go and leave me with?..." *finds defibrillator* Nick: "come back, DAMMIT!" *shocks coach* Coach: "DAAh! WHAT TH- THERE'S GONNA BE, SOME BIBLICAL SH!T HAPPNIN' TO YOU IF YOU DO THAT AGAIN!" Nick: "your mom's car."
A neat thing to note is that the farther you are in the campaign the sadder the survivors become when someone dies, for example: on the first level of dead center, Rochelle will say “not much to say friend. Goodbye.” If someone dies, but on the last level of the parish, if someone dies, the survivors will deeply mourn their loss.
Makes sense since they are with each other for days, in dead center they just met so they don’t know much about one another, as for the Parish well they had already formed a bond by that time since the last level is actually the time where they finally get rescued for good its kinda like Ray from TPN he made the plan to escape from 6 years ago and yet its all wasted for nothing when Norman accepted his fate
Es triste escuchar a zoey desesperada y ahogada en pena, louis literalmente está apunto de llorar y coach es como si también se estuviera ahogando en pena y más suave sobre su equipo:((
The survivors in 2 barely knew each other and some annoyed each other way more than the originals in 1 but if you think about it they were all probably expecting to see eachother die anyway because of the infection
The l4d1 survivors relationship is more intimate, they consider each other family, and have been surviving the infection some weeks* before the first campaign. They been trought for so much that they don't really expect or are not ready to see some of them actually dying. l4d2 survivors meet each other in the roof of dead center (or maybe before), so they barely know each other at the start and only see each other as teammates. Not many people notice, but they actually have an character development, specially nick (from being an asshole to more friendly), and I think their relationship is more likely friends or comrades, they appreciate each other but a dead won't stop them from surviving and they are fine with that.
@@germanlolazo bruh months? The opening cinematic shows it been 2 weeks after the infection with their interactions making they Barely met eachother and l4d2 takes place a week after the first game (3 weeks into the infection)
You can tell Nick respects Coach head and shoulders above the others. He views it less like a team of four and more like 2 world-wise figures guiding around a couple of young whippersnappers. He sounds like he's being hit with a dose of hard reality when Coach dies. Coach has a line that reflects a similar sentiment.
Bill sounds like he's holding back some tears, Zoey is definitely the most emotional, Louis is definitely emotional but not as emotional as Zoey. Francis is respectful for his friends, but doesn't really say much. Mostly whispering under his breath. Nick sounds kinda like Francis, but a little more open about it. Rochelle is sad, but knows to move on, and survive, in memory of her fallen comrade. Coach sounds like a teacher who just lost a student. Ellis sounds too emotional to really say anything. Maybe shedding a tear or two for his dead friend.
In all of these you can really tell just how much these people are connected during the events of the game. These people have been through hell together, and seeing each other die isn’t just a loss to the group. It’s a loss to the family.
L4D2 its more like losing their friends (they barely know each other in the apocalypse) but as the campaign progresses they will eventually see each other as family
"Oh shit! SHIT, SHIT!" I love Louis' reactions, feels a bit dramatic but he gets the point across. I can also just picture Louis slapping Zoey's corpse across going, "GODAMNIT ZOEY, WAKE UP!"
"God damnit Coach, what did you leave me with...." Nick knew that he will be the one who'll lead the others now - and its a responsibility even a conman like him is having doubts with. PS: I also liked how Francis is really affected and actually feels genuinely sad seeing his team-mates dying
You should make a video where the survivors are scared they're down 1-3 members. For instance, when Coach and Rochelle die Nick will sometimes apologize for being a jerk to Ellis. Or if Coach is the only one left standing, he'll say "Damn...I can't be all that's left"
One of my favourite things about these games are that the sequel survivors go from not knowing each others names or giving condolences while not really knowing each other, to feeling personal because of how much they had gone through before that moment. It's the little things that make the game
“God damnit Coach what did you leave me with” Nick does respect Coach and sees him at the very least as a Co-Leader, you can hear the dread he feels having to continue without him
The ones mourning Nick hit harder bc last night I had a very vivid dream of Nick sacrificing himself to save rochelle who was kidnapped by a crazy charger.
Wow.. I've played both L4D games since release and haven't heard half of these lines. The replayability is insane, especially with the dozens of voice lines/interactions in the passing and the sacrifice.
It's obvious that the folks in the second game hated each other slightly more. Their lines are more-so roasts. Except for Ellis, his lines felt so emotional and heartfelt
it's a coping mechanism southerners have to help deal with the pain of losing someone. We try to find the bright side in a bad situation (even when we probably shouldn't) Nick isn't from the south, but has the most "roasting" mourn lines because he tries to play off like he couldn't care less who dies besides himself. (in reality, it's hugely painful; he's never really had any friends or allies he can rely on, and now that he's finally got some they've just died and he's alone again.)
As rude as he is, Francis' got respect for his fallen comrades.
"You and me gotta find some tougher friends."
Nick is more rude, francis just teases at times

I love the Coach dialogue. Nick sounds like he can’t do it without him which is comforting.
I love that so much about l4d2. All the dialog shows such a story between all the survivors. Nick hated everyone but understood that at least coach was the leader.
You can just tell there was soul that went into these lines, not just saying them, but writing them. In L4D, they’ve been together from the beginning, having dealt with a dozen other fights before we played the first campaign. Bill lost so much before this, losing any more breaks him, Zoey can’t stand losing any of them, they made it that far only because they were together, Louis gets angry and yells in a way that he blames himself, and Francis, Francis feels like this is the first time he’s lost something he cared for.
In L4D2, it’s their first time stuck together in campaign one, and their bonds grow as it continues. Nick grows more and more disheartened by their deaths, remembering that he’s talked more shit than anything, and you can feel the regret behind his later lines when he realizes that’s the last words they may remember him by. Rochelle try’s to keep her composure, cracking jokes to mask the pain. Coach acts as the leader along with nick, to him, every time they lose someone, it’s on his head, and his conscious. And Elis, he just doesn’t believe it, his words shrivel up in his throat some times and he gets either quiet or can only say some short lines. To him, this is the A team, and it shatters his never ending confidence when someone dies.
It shows the soul these games had, showing there was more to them than just copy/paste characters like we get in most games now with generic personalities.
Valve. Never disappoints.
These lines and Ellis' stories are what Back 4 Blood wishes it could be.
5:06 makes me real sad :(
I think as much as Nick makes fun of Ellis, he's still the one who makes everyone smile and Nick knows this...
3:06 ***
Nick cared about ellis coach and Rochelle

Man, the emotion is real in their voices, L4D really had the best voice actors
3:06 he really likes Ellis more than coach or rochelle
I think that quote was in regards to rochelle
Nick has the most respect for Rochelle lol (if not coach)
He does secretly care about Ellis, but not as much as for the other two
ellis and nick should be like best friends
Well, that we really don't know.
I think it's mostly because he gave Ellis the most shit.
Nick says that quote when Rochelle dies. I can never see Nick liking Ellis the most out of everyone. He finds Ellis so annoying that I could see him banging his head against the wall if they were left alone lol
And yes, I know this comment was posted months ago.
FINALLY SOMEONE MADE THIS. THANK YOU SO MUCH
Indeed.
Ikr yeah
Man even they are mourning, they can’t escape from excessive swearing
people usually swear when they’re mourning. people say lots of things when they are panicked, or scared, or in extreme sadness or denial
Some of those are instant reactions instead of walking up to a corpse.
Rochelle is the only one who barely swears, she still swears but not as much as the other survivors
Rochelle: *Looks down at coaches mangled, infected corpse.* So was coach his first or last name?
Coach's ghost: 😒
Coach’s ghost: excuse me?! *EXCUSE ME?!?!*
Nick: *Looks down at Rochelles spider haired granny shaped dead body* "There goes repopulating the earth" *Puts on sunglasses*
@@runawaycat4594 kick Rochelle
Nick: "Coach....whad'ja go and leave me with?..."
*finds defibrillator*
Nick: "come back, DAMMIT!" *shocks coach*
Coach: "DAAh! WHAT TH- THERE'S GONNA BE, SOME BIBLICAL SH!T HAPPNIN' TO YOU IF YOU DO THAT AGAIN!"
Nick: "your mom's car."
I honestly incapped her for that.

this one it the one that almost made me shed a tear... jesus christ, i feel bad for louis
A neat thing to note is that the farther you are in the campaign the sadder the survivors become when someone dies, for example: on the first level of dead center, Rochelle will say “not much to say friend. Goodbye.” If someone dies, but on the last level of the parish, if someone dies, the survivors will deeply mourn their loss.
Makes sense since they are with each other for days, in dead center they just met so they don’t know much about one another, as for the Parish well they had already formed a bond by that time since the last level is actually the time where they finally get rescued for good its kinda like Ray from TPN he made the plan to escape from 6 years ago and yet its all wasted for nothing when Norman accepted his fate
Can we all just take a moment to congratulate the voice actors for this? The screams of despair and sorrow? Let's give a standing ovation!
I can't believe I almost started crying to this video...
I cried while reading their mourning lines in the wiki...i swore to not let a survivor die in my games
except now when the bots are annoying me
In my opinion, the reason why people cried is because they liked the good characters that actually had dialog
This is what good characterization does to you
Louis coach and zoey have so much pain in their voice lines :(
Zoey literally sounds like she's gonna cry 😞
@@GamingTohru698 louis as well maybe not much as zoeys but he has alot of anger / remorse fkr his fallen friends as if he wishes he had died instead
Es triste escuchar a zoey desesperada y ahogada en pena, louis literalmente está apunto de llorar y coach es como si también se estuviera ahogando en pena y más suave sobre su equipo:((
Is it just me or do the Original survivors Care more then the other survivors
Well ellis is maybe kinda missing a screw
Nick doesnt really care
Rochelle is a news reporter, she has see an lot of shit
Coach, well...idk
The survivors in 2 barely knew each other and some annoyed each other way more than the originals in 1 but if you think about it they were all probably expecting to see eachother die anyway because of the infection
With 1st survivor they knew each other for at least weak while 2nd just barley met eachother
The l4d1 survivors relationship is more intimate, they consider each other family, and have been surviving the infection some weeks* before the first campaign. They been trought for so much that they don't really expect or are not ready to see some of them actually dying.
l4d2 survivors meet each other in the roof of dead center (or maybe before), so they barely know each other at the start and only see each other as teammates. Not many people notice, but they actually have an character development, specially nick (from being an asshole to more friendly), and I think their relationship is more likely friends or comrades, they appreciate each other but a dead won't stop them from surviving and they are fine with that.
@@germanlolazo bruh months? The opening cinematic shows it been 2 weeks after the infection with their interactions making they Barely met eachother and l4d2 takes place a week after the first game (3 weeks into the infection)
L4d1: *everyone so sad because they lost a friend*
L4d2: *sad but saying a godbye to the fallen one*
Meanwhile zoe: *screaming in pain*
You can tell Nick respects Coach head and shoulders above the others. He views it less like a team of four and more like 2 world-wise figures guiding around a couple of young whippersnappers. He sounds like he's being hit with a dose of hard reality when Coach dies. Coach has a line that reflects a similar sentiment.
The first ones were sad af but can we just talk about when Rochelle died, Nick really just said "There goes repopulating the earth" 💀 💀 💀
EXACTLY ☠️
Bill sounds like he's holding back some tears,
Zoey is definitely the most emotional,
Louis is definitely emotional but not as emotional as Zoey.
Francis is respectful for his friends, but doesn't really say much. Mostly whispering under his breath.
Nick sounds kinda like Francis, but a little more open about it.
Rochelle is sad, but knows to move on, and survive, in memory of her fallen comrade.
Coach sounds like a teacher who just lost a student.
Ellis sounds too emotional to really say anything. Maybe shedding a tear or two for his dead friend.
The voice acting for these characters is top notch, I actually feel sad for them...
Ellis is always quiet except when he's screaming
1:50 you can hear the devastation in Louis’s voice
I love how Bill sounds both really upset(like losing a good friend in war), yet fully knowing that he has to keep going.
I rarely ever played Louis but holy shit his lines were well done
4:22 alternate twomad voice line
Goodnight girl, I’ll see you tomorrow
*nuclear bomb noises*
this comment didn't age well whatsoever
About that.
What happened?
@@2ndDegreeCorruptoror he fuckin dead
Rochelle: *dies*
Nick: "Shit there goes repopulating the earth"
1:43
Louis waking up Zoey for work
In all of these you can really tell just how much these people are connected during the events of the game. These people have been through hell together, and seeing each other die isn’t just a loss to the group. It’s a loss to the family.
L4D2 its more like losing their friends (they barely know each other in the apocalypse) but as the campaign progresses they will eventually see each other as family
I like how coach sees Rochelle as his daughter
I love how coach says baby girl to rochelles death
Because Coach sees Rochelle as a Little Sister
@@BikiniBottomGarageOfTenseiKhan nice father and sister Activates
" I was hoping Coach and me were gonna be friends"
"Oh shit! SHIT, SHIT!" I love Louis' reactions, feels a bit dramatic but he gets the point across.
I can also just picture Louis slapping Zoey's corpse across going, "GODAMNIT ZOEY, WAKE UP!"
"Hey Ellis y'know that shit I was sayin'? I was just joking, right?"
MY HEART.
Saddest are either ellis’s or bill’s lines :(
i don’t get why they’re mourning, they can just respawn in the next chapter
Maybe it was at the finally
They playing in ironman mutation
@@DMlTREl they playing realism expert
"God damnit Coach, what did you leave me with...."
Nick knew that he will be the one who'll lead the others now - and its a responsibility even a conman like him is having doubts with.
PS: I also liked how Francis is really affected and actually feels genuinely sad seeing his team-mates dying
“At least you dressed for the funeral.” That got me there.
Ro has no chill 💀
"There goes repopulating the earth"
You should make a video where the survivors are scared they're down 1-3 members. For instance, when Coach and Rochelle die Nick will sometimes apologize for being a jerk to Ellis. Or if Coach is the only one left standing, he'll say "Damn...I can't be all that's left"
L4d1: loss of someone's they knew for a while
L4d2: loss of someone they met as of recently (dead center)
Nick: “well there goes repopulating the world”
*Zoey probably still being alive* 😀
3:15 - 3:42 i like how Rochelle and Nick making fun of eachother, but still, its sad.
Ouch for Nick 3:54
When I don’t feel my phone in my pocket 1:16
Fr
Hearing bill and zoey talking about each other is like hearing dad and daughter
I love that throughout the campaign nicks feelings on Ellis change so that he actually feels bad about Ellis dying
I like how Rochelle says "Do you think Coach was his first or last name."
"Bye Nick!" 4:10
Gentleman
We just lost the best thing in our little group.
I can feel Bill's tears 🥺😭
THIS is what separated left 4 dead from other zombie games. This added aspects to the game that felt...real.
“At least you dressed for the funeral.”
GIRL COME ON. 💀
Coach was like the father for his group
It'll break my heart if Ellis said something like:
"I'mma miss you, Pa"
Throughout the campaign
One of my favourite things about these games are that the sequel survivors go from not knowing each others names or giving condolences while not really knowing each other, to feeling personal because of how much they had gone through before that moment. It's the little things that make the game
3:47 Lmao I played with someone who spawns this everytime and instead of focusing on the game, we all laughed and died multiple times.
Louis has the best reactions.
It hurts my heart to hear someone like louis, positive and optimistic mourn
3:19 “do you think Coach was his first name or last name?” -Rochelle
these voice lines are so sad, respect for how much time they took to do the lines
3:16 Nick: “There goes repopulating the earth”
zoey:
"oh god, not Bill!"
"oh god, not Louis!"
"oh god, not Francis!"
god:
Then fucking who mate?
Zoey
We are gonna miss you, Jim French.
May he rest in peace...
Bye bill 😔😢 rest in peace old man ...
There goes repopulating the earth
-Nick
1:15
"THEY'RE COMING!!"
*Louis startles the Witch*
"WHAT THE-"
"RUN LIKE HELL!!"
honestly one of my favorite games of all time, the replay factor that mods give it is insane
Why do i feel like im about to cry at the fact they have the strongest line that hits hard
Jesus i love how softspoken rochelle is
there goes repopulating the earth
bro nick is wild
You can’t help but feel bad whenever you hear these lines, especially Zoey’s or Coach’s ☹️
“God damnit Coach what did you leave me with”
Nick does respect Coach and sees him at the very least as a Co-Leader, you can hear the dread he feels having to continue without him
“Nick, this just got a whole lot harder”
Clearly Coach feels the same in a way
The ones mourning Nick hit harder bc last night I had a very vivid dream of Nick sacrificing himself to save rochelle who was kidnapped by a crazy charger.
Wow.. I've played both L4D games since release and haven't heard half of these lines. The replayability is insane, especially with the dozens of voice lines/interactions in the passing and the sacrifice.
It's obvious that the folks in the second game hated each other slightly more. Their lines are more-so roasts. Except for Ellis, his lines felt so emotional and heartfelt
it's a coping mechanism southerners have to help deal with the pain of losing someone. We try to find the bright side in a bad situation (even when we probably shouldn't)
Nick isn't from the south, but has the most "roasting" mourn lines because he tries to play off like he couldn't care less who dies besides himself. (in reality, it's hugely painful; he's never really had any friends or allies he can rely on, and now that he's finally got some they've just died and he's alone again.)
They didn't hate eachother
They just weren't as close as the group from lfd1
I like how Louis is like screaming for Francis and Zoey but for Bill it almost sounds like he's thinking "Well I'm not shocked."
