Left4DoD: To-do list

[Dog]

* Make the Witch more rare - she is too strong for many new players who do not appreciate her teleporting
* Zombies make more noises
* Add a new Zombie - Orcus - fires fireballs and can set Allies on fire
* Human zombies will no longer be able to run from spawn invisible - instead they can choose a flag to spawn near. They will be invulnerable and invisible for 2 secs after spawning on a flag. The reason is that the collisions are causing severe lag.

new zombie, most excellent. I've been getting the over all feeling alot of the regs need a slight change in the game play. a new zombie should add a new dynamic.

Oh! i can't wait!! Will we be able to play as this new zombie? Should be fun.

Orcus-God of the Underworld...

Most excellent

[Dr. Bob]

Sounds like exciting stuff Look forward to trying out the changes

[Moonshine]

I would love to try this, unfortunately my harddrive died. Once I figure out how to run DoD on Ubuntu I would like to try this new zombie!

[Maurice Moss]

Sounds good Dog. You keep Left4Dod fresh!

[south]

I can't wait to try the new guy. Replacing whom? The witch maybe? I personally never play her or the Wraith.

A suggestion, if I may? When spawning on a flag, flag cap time should not start until visible/vulnerable. Just seems more fair. I play mostly zombie, but that's too much advantage.

The Emo is going away.
He was a bad idea in the first place


As for capping on spawn, it's something the Allies are going to have to watch for.
Zombies are a touch weaker, so Allies need to work together...

Good riddance to the EMO. I truly despised him. Never seemed fair that 10 feet away he can suicide and kill you. If you could improve the zombie separation so they don't overlap one another that would be nice too. Hit reg and location position improvements would also be greatly welcomed. But this may be beyond your ability to fix because of source engine.

Valve has hinted at a HL3. Should that come out with a new engine and DOD gets ported to that new engine. Any plans to migrate L4DOD to it?

im pretty sure Dog as said in the past that the overlapping of the zombies is unfixable due to the source engine coding. im sure dog tried to get around it once, I also think its the same for hit boxes, they've always been an issue for some in DOD source.

I hate being blown to pieces by the Emo but I like having him in the game.
He can thwart the shield (if you're too close) and really makes me want to throw my mouse through my monitor sometimes but he keeps the zombies in the game.

That being said, the new zombie sounds like it will give the Allies a run for their money.

On a side note Dog, some of the regs had been commenting that the human controlled zombie shovel is a bit too weak.
