Play Left 4 Dead ... in Silent Hill? Yep, there's a mod  photo

There's probably something wrong with me for saying this, but I really relish the moments that I get to spend in Silent Hill. I look forward to going there. The reason for this is probably because I can go there safely within a videogame, but there's something about that world I never get tired of.

This Silent Hill Left 4 Dead mod is just up my alley, adding nice little touches like "invisible" witches (basically you see her eyes and she stands up and then disappears for extra creepy effect). Of course, if you remember the first Silent Hill, you'll recognize the town as it was presented in that game. These were posted on YouTube by user NeoIyse, who I assume had a hand in making this mod. Awesome!

That is freaking sick. Just find a way to skin a tank with Pyramid head, and you'll have the best damn mod ever.

I really need to get L4D on PC so I can run through mods like these. This looks like an unbelievable amount of fun.

I played this with my friend the other day, lots of fun, but you spend tons of time just wandering around aimlessly looking for what to do next.

This is actually the first time I watched a Left 4 Dead (or in this case, related) video. The reason behind it is I don't have a 360. I have to admit it looks like fun. I was interested to see how they mixed Silent Hill into the game. Because I have played that game (and crapped my pants numerous times). I can't play horror games anymore after playing the first Silent Hill. I would make an exception for L4D, if I had a PC that could handle it that is.

@StumpFreak
Do you want a medal for pointing that out? Old news for you but apparently not for many others. There's nothing wrong with writing about something that is slightly older news. Take in mind, some people only read Destructoid. And this news isn't restricted by time. It's not like writing an article about a contest that ended two months ago. It's entertaining and interesting for some who didn't know. You know how many people watched these video's? 1st one only 932 times and the second one 807 times which is nothing. Comments like yours are rather snooty and therefor old news.

@Stumpfreak - Bummer. Vids were uploaded yesterday, thought it was new. Some people apparently enjoyed reading it anyway ;)

Great looking mod, but for the love of god will people actually include frigging WEAPONS in their maps? I'm fed up of every single map only having the standard pistol. Not only that, if the AI decides to spawn a tank, you're pretty much fucked whichever way you look at it.

1-Brings back memories
2-I have L4D on both platforms but my PC can't run it
3-I'm tempted to make that map on Farcry 2.

That's pretty much incredible. There needs to be more badass custom levels. Where's Raccoon City?

If you make that map for Far Cry 2 you are God.

Hopefully L4D2 has some sort of map editor or something for Live this time around. Remember... they haven't announced everything yet!

That's gotta be in the top 10 most unrealistic expectations for a game I've ever heard.

they actually stayed true to the game, you needed the key to get in the house with a bloody dog house out front.......

Attention to detail FTW :D

I would like to see how far this goes into the game though....

@Jon B

There is more than the default weapons, you have to find them. And the AI director is setup so it only spawns hordes and specials, the tank seems to only come in some of the later maps after you should already be well equipped.

@Takeshi - Whoa, hold on there, hoss. Keep on reading. :)

@Collette - Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm glad that word's getting out about some of the great mods for L4D -- there's a ton of interesting projects that have been worked on for a while and many that have already seen release. I just like to poke a lil fun every now and then. I kid because I love. :)

This looks awesome. By the way, can you normally crawl while downed? I had no idea?

Seeing this video reminds me of how creepy Silent Hill was. I own it but I'm too afraid to replay it ;_;

I hate to be THAT guy but it just irks me when I read the word "MOD" and therefore click the link, only to find a custom "MAP".

Modification: (in terms of game mods) are changes made to the base game that alter either weaponry, gameplay, items or otherwise MODifying the game to the point of differentiating it from its original form.

Custom Map: Using the exact same game, change-free, with nothing but a unique and/or new(different) map.

Not saying its bad (the Resident Evil 2 MAP video posted on Dtoid was awesome) and I've never played a SH game more than 1 hour but this one looks pretty accurate, thus cool, however, I guess I'm just being technical. Good story/post! :D

This looks pretty awesome, but that boarded door part turned me off a bit. There were two boards! Plus, the horde phased through them magically, while finding the key in the doghouse caused them to evaporate? I guess it IS Silent Hill...

I was thinking about Boot Camping my Mac, now I'm definitely doing it. This mod looks like a ton of fun. Good job to whoever made this.
