Play as Special Infected in the L4D2 demo because you can photo

#demos #Left 4 Dead #Mods #PC #Valve

Run through "The Parish" one too many times in the Left 4 Dead 2 demo and need something new to do?

Over on L4DMods.com, they have got an interesting solution to your conundrum, mysterious Internet stranger. A modder named Saul has created a plugin for (sort of) opening up Versus mode in the demo. Hey, it's better than nothing.

Once downloaded, it's simply a matter of entering in a few console commands and boom! Playable Special Infected in single-player as well as dedicated and local servers.

Not having the demo on my PC means I can't verify how well this works, but just look at that image up there. Pictures, on the Internet? Enough said. There's your proof.

It's only a week and a half away, you impatient bastards! This is neat though.

Jack8274

It works but they bots won't activate the events without a player so one person has to stay on that team.

The charger is pretty awesome.

the new smoker is kind of wierd, i don't know what that tentacle is coming out of his head

watermanx

Is valve ok with this

Dexter345

Man, I want to do this! But I've only got the 360 version.

DrRockso

@watermanx What do you think? :P

tvirusgetz

i got this a few hours ago....pretty cool....chargers my new fave

I'm sure valve doesn't care considering you're still playing a fraction of a fraction of the game.

DOWNLOADING NOW. Glad I grabbed the PC version.

Female Boomers rock!

Keyword: Tried

What do you think the results were?

Alexander Diarmuid Southby Stone

I tried this with some friends and bizzarrely, 2 more "Coach"s were added to the survivors team.

If only there were an achievement for vomiting on all 6.

Los255: Pics or didn't happen

BurnPianoBurn

this is old news, this happened yesterday, where was destructoid on this? And your 2 extra coaches are nothing to our 20. We had 6 Nicks, 10 Coaches, and the rest of the gang.

Tarvu

It certainly is a good demo, though I could swear the Charger has a boner for me.

BurnPianoBurn

oh and why would you need pics of someone running through expert melee only, that's the dumbest thing I've heard in a thread in a while. SHOW PICS OF YOU STANDING STATIC WITH A FRYING PAN ON EXPERT!!! Post a vid. Hell we ran through doing only melee with all football team of bots. Then we took down a tank in 5 seconds on expert. AK-47's to all the bots. When you absolutely positively gotta kill every mother f**ker in the room.

@ BurnPianoBurn

I could use about eight Fat Louis'/Uncle Phils.

Too bad I have the 360 version.
Oh well, gonna own it in a little over two-fucking-weeks anyway!
