So, today we’ll talk about a famous project from the publishers of EA and Valve called Left 4 Dead 2 (rus). There are several ways to get through this great game. And each of them is good in its own way.
What to play
There are three options for releasing the game "Left 4 Dead 2":
- The official version purchased on disk in the store.
- The official version, bought in "Steam".
- Pirate downloaded from the Internet.
Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. Immediately it is worth noting that if you are going to install mods on Left 4 Dead 2, then forget about the official versions. If with the game on the disk you can still try to "play the shaman", then Steam simply will not start because of the "beaten" files.
Encouraging piracy, of course, is not good, but the best option for acquiring this game is the unlicensed version of Left 4 Dead 2. The Mechanics (RG Mechanics) make excellent repack games that are no different in content and quality from the license. Therefore, this is the kind of release you need to look for on torrent trackers.
If we talk about the version that can be downloaded in "Steam", then it has literally a couple of advantages. The first is a license, which developers are still supporting. The second - once you buy a game, you will not lose it. And the third: you will not have problems with a cooperative game, the only thing is that your friends should also have a Steam version.
Network
So, since the game is focused on a cooperative, we will start with the most important topic. How to play Left 4 Dead 2 online?
- If you have a version from Steam, then there should be no problems. You just need to join either an existing game, or create your own and wait for other players. In addition, if there are several copies of the game with the same version on the local network, then you can do without access to the Internet, and without running Steam.
- To play the official version purchased in the store, you will need exactly the same as for the Steam version.
- With the "pirate" everything is a little more complicated. Since the game is hacked, it lacks the function of connecting to the game’s native server. Therefore, the option for you to play only on the local network remains, but this does not matter. If you do not have friends who are fond of this project, you can use the Garena service. You only need to register your account and download the client. After that, you can connect the game to it and play with thousands of other people.
As you can see, playing Left 4 Dead 2 online isn’t so difficult. The main thing is to always make sure that you and your friends have the same version of the client, then there should be no problems.
Codes
Like many other toys, in Left 4 Dead 2 cheats are built-in by the developers themselves, which means that they work only in a single passage. But at the same time added the ability to use their host. For example, if the player who created the “room” wants the witch to appear, he only needs to register the appropriate team. We will describe the most popular ones.
- Code god 1. Enables invulnerability for all players. To disable, specify "0" instead of "1".
- Command sv_infinite_ammo 1. Includes infinite ammunition. Disabled similarly.
- Code give #. Instead of # you must specify the name of the item. Thus, you can get any weapons and medicines.
- Z_spawn # command. The command makes a certain monster appear.
In Left 4 Dead 2 cheats kill the atmosphere of the game. Of course, you can use them to pass a difficult moment, but then what is the pleasure? In order to use cheats, you will have to turn on the console. This can be done directly in the game settings by checking the box next to "Display console." It is called by the "~" button.
Mods and weapons
We should also talk about what awaits the player in the new part of the famous toy. Of course, these are old opponents in a new role, as well as new ways of killing them, including 11 types of melee weapons. But, despite the fact that in Left 4 Dead 2 the weapon has become more diverse, home-grown programmers and designers still modify this game. There are several types of modifications.
- Maps and campaigns. People create their own maps, levels and whole sets of locations that are interconnected so that other players can enjoy the new content, and the game itself does not bother. How do you like the idea of defending yourself against zombies in an ancient castle based on The Lord of the Rings?
- The next type of Left 4 Dead 2 enhancement is adversary mods . It’s easier here. These are simply drawn “wrappers” that overlap existing models. You will not meet a new monster with unique skills, but you can change the look of existing ones.
- In Left 4 Dead 2 , weapon mods are not the most popular. But why, if the damage from the weapon remains the same? Although this helps if a person wants to display a specific plot in the game.
To install the mod on your game, you need to do one of two things.
- If you use Steam, you can go to the workshop and download any mod you like from there for free. To do this, just click the "Subscribe" button.
- When using any other version of the game, you will first need to download the mod itself in .vpk format. After that, go to the folder with the game Left 4 Dead 2, then to the subfolder of the same name, and at the end to the addons directory. There we place the downloaded modification. If you use the Steam version, then in the addons folder there will be a subfolder workshop. We don’t touch her.
The mods themselves are included in the main menu of the game.
Chapter 1
Finally, we got to the plot of Left 4 Dead 2. Its passage is almost the same as in the first part. We have 4 characters available for the game, but at the same time we will run in a crowd. The first campaign begins on the roof of a skyscraper. It was assumed that we should have been evacuated, but did not have time. We go towards the departed helicopter. We open the door to the stairs and kill the first crowd of zombies. We make our way through the rooms and corridors to the elevator. After the screen saver we go down.
We go out into the streets. We clean the area and move a little to the right to the basement. We pass through it and get out. A little to the left there is a staircase upstairs to the building. We get there. We pass along the corridor and get into the arms store. We stock up and exit. By clicking on the button, we go even higher to the supermarket. Having taken a can of cola there, we go back and move through the burnt car.
We run and shoot in the mall until we hear the alarm.
In the atrium, you need to run around the floors and collect canisters for the car. There are several tactics. You can ignore zombies and just get away from them, but at a high level of complexity this can take a lot of health. Therefore, we act on the principle: the further, the better. First we collect the farthest cans, since with each new loot the attacking monsters will be stronger and more dangerous.
Chapter 2
The rather tedious level of Left 4 Dead 2. The passage does not please either riddles and labyrinths, or complex opponents. After the car dies out, go straight along the road. Then we go to the side of the road and move to the motel. Having cleaned it, we leave and move to the hills. From them we will see the local lunopark. That's where we need it.
We go around the fair and kill everything that moves. No riddles. Then we go to the "tunnel of love." Through it we reach the shelter.
The next level is not amazing variety. We go exactly along the roller coaster, firing back from the attackers.
The final level is survival. We occupy the scene with machine guns and wait for the rescuers to arrive.
Chapter 3
One of the most unpleasant levels of Left 4 Dead 2. Passing involves wandering through the swamps. It all starts with the fact that we jump from the train. We go through the city, then turn right to the pier. There, having a little swim in the boat, we get to the shelter.
Trying not to step into the quagmire and not approach the reeds, we pass to the road. Along it, a little to the right, you can find a house that will serve us as another shelter.
The next stage is not much more confusing. We are waiting for a marathon race through the village. The level is direct, so do not get lost.
At the end of the campaign, we are waiting for a walk through the picturesque countryside. Immediately from the beginning of the level, we begin to deviate to the left, until we get to the house. Through it we rise to the balcony and jump down. This is the way out.
Chapter 4
Another typical level of Left 4 Dead 2. Passage should not cause difficulties. Having descended from the ship, we move through the city in a straight line, firing off from various evil spirits.
The next level is quite unpleasant even for the most played team. You have to go through the factory. The road is not particularly complicated, but you will find 12 witches hiding around the level. Many players do not like them, but in reality they are not so formidable opponents.
So, you got gas at the factory. We return to the city and stomp back. The only problem will be reduced visibility due to heavy rain.
The final
The last part differs from the previous ones except for the number of infected. There are just a nightmare! You have to get through the city to the bridge. Save first-aid kits, they will come in handy at the very end - the final bridge of Left 4 Dead 2. Passing through will require maximum coordination and mutual assistance. You will have to face so many zombies, how many you did not see even at the "concert".
