L4D2 Campaign Speed Runs!!
Jumped into a L4D2 Game tonight with Hamese, Mortis and Refuel and they were doing a speed run on Dead Center.
After we finished we moved on to Parish and put in the rule that it was a free for all, you were not obligated to help your team members, the goal was to be the first to the safe room. We had a great run through Parish and then moved on to Dark Carnival and at the end we were pleased that we finished it in 24 minutes.
So heres the plan, and the rules.
You go on a 4 player campaign on a map at Normal. Its a Free For All, you do not need to support/save/help your team mates unless you want to, not that this means they are obliged to help you if you get into trouble, its all about speed baby!
Once you complete the level make a note of your time for the campaign and post it here along with the people you had on the campaign and of course the level.
Lets have some fun with it.
So, for tonight we only paid attention to our last time and the idea came up at the end of Dark Carnival so here goes.
Date - August 15, 2010
Level - Dark Carnival
Setting - Normal
Members - JD, Mortis, Hamese, Refuel
Time - 24 Minutes
Good Luck Villans, lets have some fun with this.

Re: L4D2 Campaign Speed Runs!!
This is a lot of silly fun. Shoot an alarm car as you run by and watch people flounder behind you
We also finished Dead Center in 19min and Swamp in 22 with just three of us.

Re: L4D2 Campaign Speed Runs!!
I also completely endorse tossing mollys behind you to slow down the other survivors
Or, if you want some fun, be the last person to the safe room and toss in a Bile Bomb and watch the fun

Re: L4D2 Campaign Speed Runs!!
Speed runs can be fun. I can't remember the exact crew we had but I think we had myself, Alizee, frosty and someone else when we did Dead Center in 16 minutes total. Trying to improve on that time, we ended up timing the individual maps and had a time of 12:57. It was really fun.

Re: L4D2 Campaign Speed Runs!!
it was fun for the free for all element. Starting events early, car alarms, running past tanks, and not turning off alarms to hamper teammates is fun as hell. You end up not shooting many zombies unless they are after you. Different type of gameplay but i really enjoyed this. Race to the saferoom FFA or two man teams.

Yeah, that was some fun. I think Corgasm was with us for at least one of our time trial nights.TTHREAZ wrote:Speed runs can be fun.

We weren't doing it as ffa, rather, we were working as a team. A very very fast moving team!

Re: L4D2 Campaign Speed Runs!!
Hmmmm, this really sounds like fun!
But why Normal...... Expert would be so much more fun

Thanks, Blah! I owe you one!
Re: L4D2 Campaign Speed Runs!!
Speed run and expert don't exactly go hand in hand. That would be more of a "how lucky can you get not to have tanks" run.Darklightr wrote:Hmmmm, this really sounds like fun!

Re: L4D2 Campaign Speed Runs!!
Yeah, because last night Tanks seemed to pop up in small places, so running around them was difficult. Sometimes one or two people got stuck with having to take care of it. Plus, running so fast created a feeling that the tank was spawning on top of you.
During the Coaster stage we were all able to run past the tank, but the whole time we ran on the coaster to the safe room we could hear him chasing us and getting closer. Pretty Funny... Sometimes being ahead was a good thing and other times not because of the hoard. Same went for being behind. I thought it was nice to run behind the hoard following everyone in front of me.
The difficult thing is not helping the other players. We've played so much as a team that not shooting that jockey off someone or helping them up feels wrong. Plus, by not doing that the speed run slows down while you wait for them to die.

Re: L4D2 Campaign Speed Runs!!
Expert is, by necessity, a very slow paced game. Kill every bit of chow you can see, move forward. In certain situations you wait for a SI you have heard spawn to show itself before you move forward.Darklightr wrote:Hmmmm, this really sounds like fun!

Normal zombies hit for 10-20 damage depending on where you get hit. Running straight through a horde of them is a really really good way to get instantly killed.
