Subverse review when?
you really needed all of those zoe pics? Me too so respect
Would love to see you guys do vermintide 2
Review Deep rock galactic, I have your family.
Mods for Left 4 Dead are great. Nothing like a raptor fighting off a swarm of zombies with Homer's chainsaw, then hearing the Old Spice whistle-jingle a second before Terry Crews ploughs through shouting "POWERRR!"
I use that Terry Crews Charger sounds mod and its absolutely fucking hilarious.
POWEEEEEEEEEER
That's so oddly specific LMAO and every modded L4D2 sounds just like it. If I described what my L4D2 looked like, I would be sent to an insane asylum.
having shrek as tank and hearing the WhAt aRe YoU dOiN In My SwAmP! always makes me laugh lmao
Mods are like, half the reason I keep playing this game. I have a mod which turns the Tank in a jacked Mickey Mouse, who throws stacks of money instead of slabs of cement. It’s an oddly accurate representation of what real-world Disney does to people. A hulking behemoth which stops at nothing to achieve its goals.
@@oscarchang486 haha I feel you
My mom loves this game. She is 65 and loves to play multiplayer. On her birthday this year, we brought up two TVs and two 360's and played 4 player. It is a lot of fun, even if I suck at it.
What a shame your grandpa fought in WW2 only for his daughter to become a console gamer
@@patrickjonathanphan3483 She is my mom, not my grandma. And she doesn't have a computer, so we play it on the 360. It's still fun.
@@vivianwalters1329 The 360 is the first way lots of people played left 4 dead, and it still feels good to use an Xbox controller in this game imo

i haven't played L4D in years, how the fuck did those three notes make my body instantly go into high alert?
PTSD I relate
it's like the creeper exploding sounds , once u hear it once , u can't get over it
yes sound in this game is on next level
Dude I literally backed into corner with guitar at ready
Pattern recognition
"Dont get knocked off" "I got knocked off". Not my proudest moment
The "Charger went from HandJob to HandCareer" made me spit my tea over my keyboard thank you Bricky
That opening ad was glorious
I remember playing OG L4D in high school, New Years Eve with the boys. One friend was ignoring texts from his annoying girlfriend, one drank like half a 12pk of Mountain Dew and was seeing into the Matrix, and another was on my PC trying to play WoW and L4D at the same time. It’s crazy how carefree life used to be.
You're out of touch, youre out of touch 🎶

Is it safe to drink half a pk of Mountain Dew?

This is probably the greatest co-op game of all time. I have hundreds of hours just playing with my buddy. We had pet names for everything and it was always a blast.
I nicknamed the smoker My Dad
I forget the hotel map in L4D2 but its the part that has you traversing on the lip of the windows and balconies on floors above in the hotel. I will never forget the absolute fear of someone in versus being a charger and yeeting themselves and my friend off the building. They waited in the windowsill for someone to pop up and showtime. I about shit myself and if my friend didn't take the lead last minute that'd be me on the pavement. Love that shit.
Haven't played L4D in many years but damn that Hunter Scream gets me everytime. The scream followed by "Jesus christ where is it!?!" and watching it jump around like a cat on catnip. Good memories : )
One of my favourite reasons is the animation of a normal zombie, when he is on his knees and he just keeps twitching as long as u shoot bullets into him with a submachine gun! =D
HARDDDDDD agree on the sound design. The three musical notes are always followed by the crescendo of me shitting myself
My smoker is Yoshi so I just hear the yoshi yell and scream "OH SHIT"
It's so good! I still go back to it almost every day
Bro
@@jhonathancampos3687 it's kinda fun to me pls dont kill me 💀
I still fire it up to play it frequently on my 360 and I own a ps4 at the moment. In fact I just fired it up right now lol
Same - pick up and play two or three times a week, still a great way to waste an hour or two.
@@th0uxan are there still players on xbox ? For The 4v4, not just the regular campaign?

This channel is the reason I bought my first Space Marines/Necron Armies and why I’m 2 1/2 games into the original Mass Effect trilogy, thanks for changing my life man!
2:07 There's a third type of person: those who actually don't have a reason to shit their pants when they hear that sound because they've never played L4D
oh they would shit their pants when they here that out of nowhere
and the fact that they don't know where and what was that
@@lag00n54 yeah, but that's more of them getting startled rather than a PTSD trigger
Wait till they hear a tank and a witch
The Director A.I in L4D2 is probably the best definition of "Simple yet effective" coding there is.
If you enable the Cheat Mode and Debug Console in-game and look up for Director Commands online, you can pretty much understand rarher quickly what each command does and you can also alter the way it behaves.
9:32 I haven't played in years and that triggered my flight or fight.
No other game to date can make me feel the same awe, joy and adrenaline every single time I play it after 4k+ hours. Nostalgia only fuels the fire. I played under an hour of B4B before refunding it and immediately queuing up Dark Carnival
i like how he didnt even bother talking about the witch cause only true gamers know why we never speak of the witch
that sob, that darned sob
Oh god..2 reason we don't talk about her....
@bolt how annoying she is, and r34
True I always shoot her in the head with a shotgun sorry man force of habit
Intentionally startling the Witch is like having a death wish.
That hand career pun was the best thing I heard in years, good job.
"Having dumb fun with the homies" Companies should go back to that...
"took chrome shotgun instead silenced smg ima call him a slur" im dead
Ok
Making me feel bad for wanting to use a satisfying shotgun lmao
On the aspect of teams, I remember playing with a dysfunctional group of three others in a campaign, and by the end we’re a force to be reckoned with. We didn’t leave any of each other behind
That's the l4d magic kicking in.
These video essays are dope Bricky, and getting them out quite frequently with top quality. Keep it up king
job career had me in tears
17:43 That guy's laugh sounds like Bill's
what makes me come back to l4d is the intense modding community. it's like you're playing a new game every time with the skins, maps, etc
“You can’t survive alone, you need your teammates to save you”
Me: laughs in solo survival
Great video, glad people are still returning and having a good time
laughs in **speedrunner**
@@reelgesh51 Even speedrunners get killed on a regular basis. I know one dude who has been speedrunning the game for years before he got a fully deathless run.
Haven't stopped playing L4D2 in over a decade lol will probably be playing it for another decade, one of my fav games of all time. When you've got a good team with you there's not a better team up game out there to this day. Would love for it to get a full remaster someday but with Valve as it's owners I'm not holding my breath lol.
I've actually been playing l4d2 for the first time with a couple of friends because it was on sale for like 2$ and we've been having a blast
I am still waiting on The Act Man's video on this gem of a game. This will be more than equal I imagine.
Also I'm still waiting for a dedicated Titanfall 2 review from you that I remember you said you were making like a year or so again. I will continue to wait patiently.
Last time I was this early, Bricky had legs!
So I'll be seeing you Darktide, right?
Video should have been: what makes (almost) anything by Valve great and memorable for years to come.
Regardless, L4D2 is hella fun too
A L4D video? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one
Thank you for bringing light to my favourite childhood game. I adore this game with all my heart. 12 year old me would sit down playing xbox 360 with a kinect microphone (yeah, THOSE days) and just grind left 4 dead 2 for hours. First game I experienced online gameplay with and it was like magic. All these other people from around the world are playing this same game with me?! It was the best.
So, SO many hours spent on Versus with friends or achievement hunting on Expert.
Seeing the community update come to L4D2 and seeing the no. of players skyrocket just brings me with joy.
This video was so well put together. Captured everything I love about the game and taught me a bit too :) Didn't know about the game director. I knew bits and pieces but didn't know it tailored witch/tank/horde/item spawns depending on your progress. The more you know :)
From the bottom of my heart man. Thank you.
It's a good day when bricky uploads.
The game is still hella fun to this day. You don’t even need a beast Pc to run the game.
L4D2 at its low settings still looks good and makes you think the graphics doesn't really matter.
@@pauldee7504 hella yah

The no going back fence can be jumped from the other side if you go at it from an angle apparently.
5:02 “This guy took the chrome shotgun, I’m gonna call him a slur in chat.” 😂
EASILY one of the greatest games of all time. Me and my buddies started making videos on L4D and it's been nothing short of hilarious. Glad to see larger creators showing love to such an incredible game :)
One of the best games I ever played, even if zombies terrify me.
You should really do be having more subs and views for this, this video is underrated, because you really nailed all of the great things about the game and you're very critical about it. You are also really funny, even the ad itself is really hilarious and entertaining. Keep up the great and awesome content you make.
Best part of hunter for me is the fact I have an addon that plays "cannibal Shia LeBeouf" whever he's nearby
walking around a mall and you just hear "SHIA SUPRISE!"
i was just playing this earlier today lmao easily one of my fav games of all time
I've been playing Left 4 Dead 2 a lot these past several months but I usually just avoid versus mode and stick to running campaigns on expert/realism, or playing custom campaigns I glossed over in the past. I guess what reeled me in was playing the Back 4 Blood Alpha and not really enjoying it as much as I do l4d2. I used to play the game here and there, but I've stuck to it lately just because I discovered a custom server I like frequenting, alongside a lot of other people who play pretty much every day during their free-time. It's just nice to play a co-op game with replayability, released right before the era of hyper-monitization in the multiplayer games industry.
Hey Brick! Been watching your vids for a long time now and I'm happy to say that the content you've been putting out has been by far my favorite! Love your style and how much you really put in. Keep up the amazing work you talented bastard!
these vids are so organized and easy to watch. thank you bricky
Absolutely love L4D, easily my favorite multi-player game of all time. Used to play competitively in 2010.
I only just recently got a PC and bought it to play again for the first time in probably 8 or so years, so if anyone that plays on PC would like to group up, I'm always down to meet fellow L4D players. Still new to mouse and keyboard so I'm super slow and playing bots games.
I have never rushed to a video until I saw you uploaded this
The source engine is just a piece of art, it allows for incredible stuff. Every time I play I forget this game and this engine are over decade old. What I love most here are the sound design including the music placement, THE INCREDIBLE LEVEL DESIGN. I have never gotten lost in this game. The last and probably most important is zombie animations. The way they run, behave and DIE have been so well crafted, so much work has been put into that and it shows. They have mocapped hundreds of animations and programmed them in such a way that a zombie death is just a random ragdoll. It's actually incredible. Anyone that isn't impressed by it should just watch a back 4 blood and Left 4 Dead comparison it's night and day. Crazy well made game and to me that's what Valve are known for. I'm relatively new to the game and I haven't finished it and that's only because I always end up introducing another friend to this game and I play the first 4-5 chapters when we have time and then the cycle continues. I have yet to grow tired of those first few chapters.
Always nice to see a video from you again
i haven't been this early since "oh shit, i'm sorry"
Since when did they censor youtube comments

That’s a crazy transition from stumbling to hanging on the elevator I didn’t even know it did that shit that’s crazy advanced

What keeps bricky so GREAT even 6 years later?
CBT.
"My name is Bricky..."
Always draws me back.
I been preachin’ this for years. Speak, my man. You’re part of our little group.
...and we look out for our own.
I've been playing Left 4 Dead ever since it came out, I was maybe 7 or so. My brother introduced me to it through his XBox 360 and I'm still playing it now at 20 on my own pc. Now i just fill my games with mods and play campaigns with randoms😊
the funny thing about the Hunter screech is that it didnt scare me because it was louder than usual for effect, but the minute those three notes chimed in I fucking did a doubletake WOW.
God damn I miss this game.
Fun fact: Mike Powell does the voice of the common infected and the Hunter.
And yes, that IS his actual voice.
He gunna scream then everyone be runnin
As an expert lfd 2 player, I can safely say, that the jockey is the bane of a survivors existence.
It shouldn't exist
@@shem7146 it really shouldn't. All the infect follow a natural rule, with exceptions to the tank and spitter and jockey, they will always pinn both survivor and infected in place so control is neutral, with giving the infected the dmg. Jockey mainly break this rule, allowing for movement and dmg, making him broken to shit, and the most annoying to play and fight against. He can steer into spit, off a cliff, into witch, into horde, into boomer, into fire, into water, and insta kill them off a cliff in certain areas. I hate him so much.
Bricky Deadass be following my life, I first got in to 40K about a week before he released his faction explain videos and the past 3 weeks I’ve just introduced my best friend to left 4 dead 2 and been experiencing the game all over again- love the content!
5:30 wow choosing DCA photos for the theme park analogy really threw me for a loop. I'm literally going to Disneyland tomorrow, and I'm up watching this vid at 4:59am instead of sleeping lol what a surreal feeling seeing the Pixar pier photos. Ik it's not that big of a coincidence but it def threw me for a loop lol
sadly i dont have anybody left in my friends list who plays L4D2 but damn i love this game, and yah i hate you for playing the hunter sound so often
What do you play on?
@@StealthyZombie PC of course
Wait Bricky, how did you even know that there is R34 for the Spitter?...
You, tell me where, what is the sauce?
If it exist there's a porn of it.
You forgot to mention bricky about the special zombie song you could get in the beginning of the parish map at the jukebox :)
That distinct "get ready to be ridden"-sound Jockeys make stille freak me out to this day!
We have a friend who lives to disturb the witch and throw the gas and light it up on us... and even with that, the game's still fun af
Gnome chompski is the sole reason a L4D community still lives
9:45, after 3000 ingame hours my brain immediately played the followup notes to that jingle...
12:55 they will also say “behind you!” When you are getting flanked by zombies. Or “look out!”
Hey Bricky can you do a video about Dying Light/Dying Light 2?
I feel like I'm not cultured enough after seeing those zoom ins of Zoey, time for some research~
4:53 you can actually go back through that fence, that particular spot isn't a split in the level
Alot of people always seem to think that is a point of no return. Lol
is the hunter attack sound the same as the scary maze game scream? It sounds like they just took the hunter scream and added like high pitched reverb or something to it.
I think this is where Dead by Daylight got it's inspiration from.
I was expecting a jumpscare when he disappeared. Too much L4D
Nothing makes the hairs on my chest stand up more than the dreaded noise of the Hunter ( 2:11 )
Some people take it as the wailing scream of warning , of an impending doom in a black hoodie.
I hear it as a challenge call, beckoning me to square up.
This is probably why I consistently keep getting downed by Hunters in the first place, probably.
Why are your ads actually entertaining, usually I skip by ads by man, these are good
Rip to the people who got this video spoiled for them by the script writing stream
Funny how this video was made a day after my friends convince me to buy it, and I’ve only played once but enjoyed the hell out of it, can’t wait to play more. Ps we need a resurgence of this game
I wish I could have fun in Versus, but every single match I get into has the “epic gamer” tryhards who votekick you for doing something that they didn’t approve of 2 weeks in advance
Lol. Yeah I really hate those guys, also the ones that all of them go snipers just to fuck with the enemies.
I still play campaigns nearly everyday. Its my go to relaxant. Borderline 800 hours now of l4d2. You could find a new campaign nearly every day still.
.....there's Spitter r34?
Such a shame I haven’t experiences this prime game bcz i was so little when it came out... now i grew up and we got these trashy modern games that i hate the most that was released in 2019, 2020 and 2021...
It's never too late buddy ;)
Me and my 2 buds sat down and decided to play all the L4D2 campaigns back to back to back & it was honestly some of the most fun we've had in a long time. My friend Jayden kept speed running through all the levels & was clowning us for not keeping up with him, but he & my other friend died on the run across the bridge to the helicopter.
The last thing I said as coach rode off into the sunset was "slow and steady wins the race"
Bricky, giving a placement for us to see when the ad ends, thank you, you're amazing.
