Hi, I know its almost a year old since they released L4D, But quick question, if i have downloaded a copy off the internet (Cracked) Is it possible to use it for steam, I just bought L4D on steam (it was 14.99) and was wondering if i could just set its directory to steam and stuff like that, or do i have to download it "again"?

No.

The game costs fucking $15

buy it, you shit

From the sounds of it, he already bought it, but is wondering if he has to redownload it and install it through steam, or if he can just point steam to his bunk ass directory.

To which the answer is no, he can not.

Yes I have already bought and it, and it looks like i have to download it, Thanks.

Okay I don't know why you specified "Cracked" then, Mr. Legitimate Customer =o

I downloaded a cracked version a few months ago that i occasionally play on Garena (GG), But I've noticed they released a new map, and it was like 14,99 at steam (half the price yay) so yeah, Do you have to purchase the new map? or does it come free on steam?

Pang. Reread his post. He downloaded a cracked version back in the day (putz, this game has been worth the money since day 1) and now he bought the legit version. He wanted to know if he could just use his cracked version as the .exe if he redirected everything to the steam servers, instead of having to re-download the whole game again (he can't).

ok but I reserve the right to hold him in withering contempt still

He didn't buy Left 4 Dead first chance he got. I'd expect nothing less. Hell, I own it on PC and 360 just to avoid contempt from my peers.

Now, I have to go beat the new Tales of Monkey Island that dropped today. Which I paid for. Because I like to encourage titles I enjoy.

Don't get me wrong, I bought L4D last December, and enjoyed it alot on Xboxlive, then my 360 started to mess up and now i got a 3rl, So yeah i bought one for the pc.

Contempt is not a cold enough word.

"Shoved into a bottle of rape the size of a hotel sample shampoo" comes to mind.

So, I've played it. Yes, a bit on the short side, but the multiplayer is a blast. I liked the level for what it was. And I don't mind having dropped like, what, three whole dollars on it?

Its a great, great, great download. Both maps are much longer than anything in the original game and I was really impressed by the number of places you can hide or put your back to in case you're being attacked. The horde seems more frequent than before and while they don't last as long, there seems to be more infected running at you at once.

Some of the achievements are great but others are baffeling. I can't figure out how the heck someone is going to get a 25 point pounce as a Hunter in either level.

Still in the middle of downloading, just a quick question, Can you play custom maps on Steam? Or can you only play it via Lan?

Ayup.

There's even various mods. I think my two favorites are the ones which remove roof restrictions for infected. Makes hunters a lot more lethal and unpredictable as they can be coming out of anywhere. Also like the mod where infected can talk to survivors when they pounce/smoke/boom them. It's mostly obnoxious in pub games, but when played in private games with all friends it's a blast.

I used to play a bit on a server which had various mods for survivors. It gave them a few random upgrades (bullets that make zombies disintegrate, light on fire, faster reload, larger clips, extra health, faster revive, escape one pounce/smoke for free, and a few others). They also got rid of extra medpacks and made one tank and at least one witch in every level. I thought games on there were a lot more interesting.

Just played the new map, Pretty fun.

Anyway Steam ID is LoliconDesu, i'm always up for a game (especially Versus)

For anyone that's still interested and hasn't bought the game. It's currently on sale for $15 on Steam.

Or you could just wait a few months and get L4D2. I mean, you've already waited this long. =\

Well, looks like I can hold off on buying L4D2 for a while.

Or if you'd rather not follow the link, it's a pretty awesome L4D mod called Cold Case, coming out Oct. 31st. Includes the following features:
Some other custom campaigns you should try, if you haven't already:

Death Aboard

Start in a prison, go through a cargo ship, end up at a huge lighthouse finale where a hot air balloon picks you up. Garr and I mentioned this about 40 posts ago; it's had some updates since then so hopefully the bugs have been fixed.

Night Terror

The first level is not very remarkable, but the second is the Haunted Mansion. Then the Mines of Moria, then jungle ruins, then a finale with a twist. Okay, so some of them are converted Counter-Strike maps, but they still work pretty well. And what can I say, I love the Haunted Mansion.

Coal'd Blood

Interesting coal mine campaign, worst pun ever. Your blood has been coaled? What the hell does that mean?

Heaven Can Wait

Pretty damn difficult.

Back to School

Not finished, but pretty good so far.

I'm still up for a game every so often, and I think I have just about all of you on Steam. If not, here's my profile, or search for my current nickname - Rex Dart, Eskimo Spy.

Sounds pretty neat. Looks like I'll still have a reason to boot up L4D1 even after 2 rolls around.

I just grabbed the pre-order for it on Steam today, along with Borderlands, since those two are the games that I'm looking forward to most in the next two months.

Except that, like most L4D content, it'll probably take about half an hour of work to convert it to L4D2.

I know there's a lot of cool mods/campaigns coming out in the future, but this has to be one of the more lulziest:

(Watch to the end for some laughs.)

That's what he gets for being the worst person ever with the shotgun.

Wow, that actually looks kind of fun. They should have replaced the default pipe-bomb with an actual bob-omb though, but w/e.

Also, I haven't done any L4D action in a while, so holler at me on here or Steam if you want to go slay some zombies, k? :)
