The idea of your character being damaged just by being CLOSE to an strong fire source is pretty realistic and dangerous. More games in general should give that a shot.
Man, I remember my first encounter with the Hag. Me and my friend heard the "[Hag Intro]" and started looking around then I saw a silhouette that was very jerky and moving quickly; I impulsively shot it and I started running for my life. God, the hag is a lot faster than how it was shown in the trailers. I just found it funny though how despite provoking the Hag, it ran up to me and gave me a bitch slap and then burrowed away.
Same thing happened with me. Was chilling with my friend and saw a silhouette in the fog attacking one of our teammates. That shit is fucking terrifying
On a wall, you can see someone write about how their friend got infected and didn't realize it. The author of this specific message says they saw the worms moving in their eyes and that they were taking them on one last supply run. Holly can actually say "God I hate the noise they make when they get pulled out" likely suggesting it is different for each individual
I think there’s a difference yeah. Maybe like in fully immune hosts, which our playable characters are stated to be, the worm gets in, but does nothing, in fact, idles around, not reproducing, not moving far from their injection points. From there, they’re easy to pull out. But the whole of the resistance isn’t all immune. That’d be near impossible. So these who are written infected, they probably weren’t immune. Probably stayed inside their safe zones, until the Ridden broke in, as the start of the video states.
I think there’s actually a *second* connotation to ridden as well; being possessed. Being “ridden by the devil” basically, though only metaphorically as the devil in this case is more of a malicious extraterrestrial hive mind than a supernatural entity per se.
33:33 actually, the dying light protagonist is not immune. He fights for medication to stop the infection. (He even turns into a InFEctEd on the canonical ending of the dlc and escapes quarentene making the virus spread more and creating dying light 2)

Humanity, years later, survived but in very very small remnants proving this virus was more dangerous than original strains.
It's insanely awesome that the game that is in many ways the successor to L4D is sponsoring the guy who got his start in L4D to make a video on it. And it's in that typical WSG way too. Longtime fan, glad to see you come this far. Keep doing awesome zombie content.
Realistically, killing an common Ridden at any range makes as much sense as a Colonial Marine shooting a Xenomorph point blank. You are helping the worms spread even faster by doing this. This is probably why attempts to contain them early on failed so drastically.
What about the strange cocoons when players "Die" ? There is a mission where normal, seemingly non-immune people are trapped in these biomass cocoons. What kind of purpose would those serve? Maybe keeping the more resistant against the worms infection in one place for more worms to infest them later?
Most likely to let them die so that their biomasses can be used later on. After all, anyone who is not ridden by that point of the game should be either immune, or a total badass.
@@Someone-lg6di It is. Dialogue between Doc and Mom talks about it. Goes further, saying that Mom’s immunity isn’t the immunity everyone else has. The worms avoid her because she’s ether old, or she’s hiding a fatal illness from the group (the later being my theory due to the personal offense and pain she took from it) So, there are people who don’t get infected. Wether from the genetic immunity, to aging to the point the worms no longer wish for that person as a host (although seeks their death all the same)(Or terminal, permanent illnesses could cause them to ignore) The worms will not work with these certain hosts. The exact source isn’t known, and is impossible to know now, given how few scientists and doctors remain in this apocalypse.
I doubt that the parasites can cross the entire ocean in their host alone though they could very well be semi aquatic. Not sure if they can carry out basic important life functions underwater so it's entirely possible.
@@zeffy._440 that's disregarding the point the made about birds being potential carriers, plus, who's to say the infected, or the worms in general, aren't capable of infiltrating a cargo ship or airplane? The ridden themselves don't have to be present just the worms, and if there's one thing I've learned, the ability to adapt and mutate means there's a lot of other undiscovered (and equally as horrifying) possibilities.
The song they chose for the reveal trailer makes *so much* sense now. "You've got the devil inside you, set the church on fire!" The song is a banger to listen to. I can't wait to see what this game will become in the future looking forward.
If only they used it for the Jukebox... would have been WAY better than one of the songs that are used for it that you HAVE to listen to because its a defense/distraction sequence.
@@notreallybro8508 That's also my issue with the Jukebox, it seems that everyone is getting other songs but whenever I use the Jukebox, I just get a bunch of cringe songs that just make me hate that part.
@@TheParanormalist0601 thats not a whoosh, you should probably look up what both the "okay boomer" meme and r/whoosh mean before saying them, because you just make yourself look stupid.
Even before Covid I was honestly over these “infections and virus” movies, TV shows and games. It was overdone and a little sadistic to me. After Covid, I’m definitely bored and done of it.
I am surprised you did not bring this up in why you would not survive? Food The ridden go after animals we can eat to be carriers, infected, or just stripping and contaminating the meat into something humans can't eat. Farms, lakes, and waterways are the center of infections, making most planets that grow near said bodies of water unsuitable or casualties to burning off all the foliage and crops needed to survive. So, unless they make a significant number of green houses to feed them, then the survivors will have limited choices in what to eat once they run out of canned food that has not been infected and destroyed by the ridden. I mean, humans had to resort to cannibalism after being stuck in the middle of nowhere during winter, and this infection is taking away the ability to hunt for food.
When you mentioned Toxoplasma gondii(in italics), I felt excited because ot was one of the specimens we had to observe in my Parasitology class. I’m a bio student majoring in zoology so if I see a semblance of significance to the things I study, I feel happy.
That's smart: Deserts have no liquid water, so those worms can't spread there. Additionally, the only water there will be the boiled water you bring in, ensuring its safety. As the rest of the World goes silent, you and the other survivors will grow.
In my head canon the sleepers are just survivors that a "stinger" type ridden kidnaped, dragged off and stuck to the wall. That survivor had no friends come back and rescue them from the wall and pull the worms out so they died... And being stuck to the wall with an emaciated body with little biomass... used the hosts legs to turn into the retention / catapult system that they use.
No mask, no lid... Just you know, poke at it a bit while holding it 30cm away from his face... Like God damn man, you take more precautions working with harmless frogs... Who let this unpaid university intern to handle the alien apocalypse worm...

The game is great. I legitimately think nothing will please the "gamers" of today. They will always find reasons to be unhappy no matter what and it's sick. It's one thing to call out blatant malpractice like the battlefront lootbox system that ruined a whole series we loved from childhood. And then being mad Back4Blood isn't exactly like LFD. Does anyone not remember when LFD came out? Barely any content and very sub par graphics. Yet it becomes one of the most iconic zombie shooters ever. And then LFD2 came out just a year later and was nothing than a $5 expansion just a few new characters and maps. Yet again we all still love it and happily paid full price for it. If LFD were to come out with the gamers and criticism of now it would be torn apart and called a $10 game sold for $60 graphical trash cash grab. Gamers are so self delusional with their personal feelings of what every game should be like you can't have any new release without it being trashed by everyone.
You know what, I was one of those ppl that was abit "upset" at the changes and like you said that it wasn't like L4D but after watching Roanoke Gaming and Wow Suck Gaming's videos I see that I should be grateful for this game, as opposed to the mediocre games they have coming out recently (not going to name any lol)
There's no way to survive it..heck playing it with other players is sometimes hard. Its literally you and 4 others vs the world and the world got some good cards.
The most frightening part of this zombie game is the fact that the first thing officials do with a new creature is slap it on an open petri dish like batter on a skillet then raise it right to their face, ignoring red flags such as 1. It is a worm. And 2. It has tiny fangs.
A few months ago i actually had an idea for a zombie archetype. Known as the buzzer, the idea is a colony of venomous wasps have burrowed into a dormant zombies torso and made a hive inside. The sign one is nearby is the buzzing of the wasps. As it shambles towards humans, wasps will fly out and sting the humans, leading to blurred vision. If you kill the zombie with a shotgun or explosives, the torso bursts open, leading to an angry swarm flying at you.
@@PapaBuffalo kfc made a comment about back 4 blood being a cheap rip off of the game left 4 dead then the developers responded with how kfc has 11 herbs and spices but food still has no taste LMAO
I just realized that if the “top scientific mind” that made the worm react to water had a lid or took precautions like somewhere to put it or NOT putting it so close to him when it obviously didn’t like the water, the ridden infection wouldn’t have happened.
I mean it could have still gotten out look at how the Corona virus started but in any case the military could have known what it was up against before it started
Well actually had they been wearing full protective gear such as goggles, thick gloves and having the specimen locked behind a protective chamber. The dude who started this pandemic was probably not a special disease specialist. And also kind of stupid as most scientists would probably not just casually handle something like that. Dead or not Then again there is the Corona *HYPOTHESIS*(or conspiracy as there is no factual evidence released on how covid-19 started(just guesses based on initial outbreak parameters) where a lab was responsible for the break. As well as half of the populations ridiculous response to said virus. In the end we probably would've have ended up like this because humans panic, humans distrust, and humans have to be right. We'd all die anyways

Imagine doing absolute bits during the apocalypse. you survive in your base, you can kill all types of zombies, you are on top of the world. and then Cthulu just decides to pop out of the floor and decimate you.
@@neuu8708 Several things, there was that time that every video game journalist regurgitated the same rumor leading everyone to believe L4D3 was coming. There’s also the fact that making a game to a beloved franchise is scary as hell. There’s also the fact zombies are done to death at this point.
To be fair, it makes much sense that the world was easily overtaken because it's so aggressive. I wish TV shows/movies actually had special variants and different type of zombies like videos games might have. Take The Walking Dead, it's so hard to see the military overthrown by groups of zombies. But in a B4B world? They'd obviously suffer and struggle seeing as there are so many variants, bosses and even ahving the ability to make nests.
I want to dub this biomass _Devil's Tea_ simply because the biomass is just Devil Worms using their previous meat mechas as teabags in various water sources.
@@WowSuchGaming here's how you can survive an attack by the infected without any immunity or terminal disease you wear armor that is not only made out of something stronger than the biomass accumulated by the ridden but but you also wear something that makes you so or you have armor that is so thick that even if it is less terrible than the biomass that's been made available to the ridden no attacks can reach your meat suit or just stay in a self-sustaining orbital satellite or on a different planet with a self-sustaining ecosystem as long as we didn't make it there you are safe which can be done
@@assfuckerthejointpounder5834 However consider this: The armor will slow you down and make you have less stamina, and even if you have armor, there's the spikes certain infected release when killed, they could penetrate said armor
@@neuu8708 Huh. Wish that detail was explained a little more in the video. But the whole stamina being lowered by the armor point stands. I can confirm, wearing something that's thick and heavy makes you get tired easily

Left 4 dead, electric boogaloo. Also... I guess there won’t be any “Special infected/ ridden explained” videos, or was that Roanoke. PLUS even if you survived, stop! *KAIJU TIME!*
Roanoke usually goes into the biological specifics of things. I don't remember if Wow did any other than the L4D specials or not. I'd be surprised if Roanoke didn't still do some videos for B4B, though, and he's always got his own spin on it =)
@@DinosaurToothbrush_NinjaSauce "Im not paying the normal price for a game despite that fact that b4b is cheaper then that" sounds kinda stupid. bet your parents just dont wanna buy it
two things about the crows that make me think they are infected is that 1: they are seen eating at the nests and other infected offal left around and 2: the crows have the same/similar glowing eyes as the ridden and specials.
I will admit. The game looks amazing. I can't wait to see what weapons, special ridden, and campaigns they will add later on in dlc. (Let's hope a blunderbuss makes it into the game, especially on April fool's day. )
The only chance at survival i see is getting EXTREMELY lucky and avoiding the initial infection just by chance, then hiding in a nuclear bunker for years until somebody eventually just send out a nuke
Already got the game, and I am looking forward playing it. It looked pretty damn good so far. It is very interesting how they used Left4Dead special infected and Dead Space Necromorph influences to create new special enemies.
Being made by TurtleRock, and considering their Abomination endgame form, I feel like the worms are an invasive parasitoid (asteroid crater makes that obvious) that would normally compete against creatures like Evolve's rapidly mutating monsters in its own ecosystem, where more things would be immune to it and eat up the worms on sight.
I wonder why we never see any zombie children, fish/sharks,dogs/cats,bears/beavers,etc. Since you said it seeks water sources like water treatment centers and possibly the ocean🤔... genuine question I know it's just a video game but I would assume the lore would at least be accurate to the game, unless its only going after humans specifically?
Now that that’s done here are some topics you can do a WYWS on: -WYWS RWBYs creatures of Grimm -WYWS Final Spaces titan invasion -WYWS Team Fortress 2s Mann can Machine Robot Army -WYWS Gears of Wars swarm -WYWS Avatar The Last Air Benders fire nation invasion -WYWS Plants vs Zombies zombie army -WYWS One Pieces great pirate era
Too me is WYWS tf2 event, so instead of just only robot invasion but also talk other event like fighting in the battlefield against the other team and talk how every 9 class merc many way to kill you or merasmus and other supernatural buddy like monoculus or horseless headless horsemen , and other event that happen in tf2

Have you ever thought about a "why you wouldn't survive COD Ghosts extinction" episode? I was very fond of the whole carnage of hive like alien horde while your main option to kill them was to just nuke em!
Theory: what if the Immune cleaners are infected with a different pericyte that the devil worm is weak to, I mean considering what they found frozen it's safe to say there has to be others frozen as well but deemed harmless or almost extinct.
Would a full body suit of kevlar work to stop at least the basic worms? Considering the parasite isn't air-borne, you could try to just avoid the special infected with any accidents halted by the kevlar bodysuit. Also, how would the worm react to liquids chemically similar to water? How does the parasite use water anyways? What if you dumped hydrogen peroxide on a worm?
After bout 5 minutes of learning about the devil worm i relized there is a 0% chance of survival past a day. I want a game mode where you die and turn if you get hit with a worm. Gameplay would be 20 seconds long
i'm guessing for a gamemode like that, you would find usable masks and helmets around the map to protect you from them. maybe 1 always spawns in every safe room but from then on, it can be broken and as soon as that happens, you'll need to listen to zoey and "RUN LIKE HELL!"
"evolve like" yeah the evolve influence is strong with this game and as an evolve fan i'm extremely fine with this. Hell the ogre literally looks like an unused goliath concept with a "ridden" texture and skin over the basic shape while the hag looks like recycled host, wraith, and gorgon concepts.

What about the strange cocoons when players "Die" ? There is a mission where normal, seemingly non-immune people are trapped in these biomass cocoons. What kind of purpose would those serve? Maybe keeping the more resistant against the worms infection in one place for more worms to infest them later?
I think they turn into sleepers. Also its never said they r not immune.
Most likely to let them die so that their biomasses can be used later on. After all, anyone who is not ridden by that point of the game should be either immune, or a total badass.
@35:38
So Survivors who die can be released from them at a later point in the level.
@@Someone-lg6di It is. Dialogue between Doc and Mom talks about it.
Goes further, saying that Mom’s immunity isn’t the immunity everyone else has. The worms avoid her because she’s ether old, or she’s hiding a fatal illness from the group (the later being my theory due to the personal offense and pain she took from it)
So, there are people who don’t get infected. Wether from the genetic immunity, to aging to the point the worms no longer wish for that person as a host (although seeks their death all the same)(Or terminal, permanent illnesses could cause them to ignore) The worms will not work with these certain hosts.
The exact source isn’t known, and is impossible to know now, given how few scientists and doctors remain in this apocalypse.
The ingame ridden are just what we see in North America. Imagine what horrors might be lurking in Europe, or Asia.
The wetlands
I doubt that the parasites can cross the entire ocean in their host alone though they could very well be semi aquatic. Not sure if they can carry out basic important life functions underwater so it's entirely possible.
@@zeffy._440 that's disregarding the point the made about birds being potential carriers, plus, who's to say the infected, or the worms in general, aren't capable of infiltrating a cargo ship or airplane? The ridden themselves don't have to be present just the worms, and if there's one thing I've learned, the ability to adapt and mutate means there's a lot of other undiscovered (and equally as horrifying) possibilities.

The song is a banger to listen to. I can't wait to see what this game will become in the future looking forward.

I am surprised you did not bring this up in why you would not survive? Food
The ridden go after animals we can eat to be carriers, infected, or just stripping and contaminating the meat into something humans can't eat. Farms, lakes, and waterways are the center of infections, making most planets that grow near said bodies of water unsuitable or casualties to burning off all the foliage and crops needed to survive.
So, unless they make a significant number of green houses to feed them, then the survivors will have limited choices in what to eat once they run out of canned food that has not been infected and destroyed by the ridden. I mean, humans had to resort to cannibalism after being stuck in the middle of nowhere during winter, and this infection is taking away the ability to hunt for food.
Yeah I legitimately can’t say I could survive this with confidence.
When you mentioned Toxoplasma gondii(in italics), I felt excited because ot was one of the specimens we had to observe in my Parasitology class. I’m a bio student majoring in zoology so if I see a semblance of significance to the things I study, I feel happy.
I can't even survive the T-5 mission on normal, I'll just go hide under a rock in the desert if these parasites actually become a reality.
That's smart: Deserts have no liquid water, so those worms can't spread there. Additionally, the only water there will be the boiled water you bring in, ensuring its safety.
As the rest of the World goes silent, you and the other survivors will grow.
@@EinsamPibroch278 untill you run out of water deserts don't get much rain

In my head canon the sleepers are just survivors that a "stinger" type ridden kidnaped, dragged off and stuck to the wall. That survivor had no friends come back and rescue them from the wall and pull the worms out so they died...
And being stuck to the wall with an emaciated body with little biomass... used the hosts legs to turn into the retention / catapult system that they use.

The game is great. I legitimately think nothing will please the "gamers" of today. They will always find reasons to be unhappy no matter what and it's sick. It's one thing to call out blatant malpractice like the battlefront lootbox system that ruined a whole series we loved from childhood. And then being mad Back4Blood isn't exactly like LFD. Does anyone not remember when LFD came out? Barely any content and very sub par graphics. Yet it becomes one of the most iconic zombie shooters ever. And then LFD2 came out just a year later and was nothing than a $5 expansion just a few new characters and maps. Yet again we all still love it and happily paid full price for it. If LFD were to come out with the gamers and criticism of now it would be torn apart and called a $10 game sold for $60 graphical trash cash grab. Gamers are so self delusional with their personal feelings of what every game should be like you can't have any new release without it being trashed by everyone.
Man i hope this game goes like evolve and you 2 alone can enjoy it
You know what, I was one of those ppl that was abit "upset" at the changes and like you said that it wasn't like L4D but after watching Roanoke Gaming and Wow Suck Gaming's videos I see that I should be grateful for this game, as opposed to the mediocre games they have coming out recently (not going to name any lol)
In my opinion this is one of the best game to come out his year. I ply lots of zombie games and these difficulty is insane
@BuLgi try it on game pass ultimate
There's no way to survive it..heck playing it with other players is sometimes hard. Its literally you and 4 others vs the world and the world got some good cards.
Za warudo?!
The most frightening part of this zombie game is the fact that the first thing officials do with a new creature is slap it on an open petri dish like batter on a skillet then raise it right to their face, ignoring red flags such as 1. It is a worm. And 2. It has tiny fangs.
Indeed. We have enclosed manipulation tools, I imagine this would be standard practice for any unknown potential parasite
A virus already gives me the creeps, but when the invading being is big enough to be visible is just... Ugh, gives me the shivers
A few months ago i actually had an idea for a zombie archetype. Known as the buzzer, the idea is a colony of venomous wasps have burrowed into a dormant zombies torso and made a hive inside. The sign one is nearby is the buzzing of the wasps. As it shambles towards humans, wasps will fly out and sting the humans, leading to blurred vision. If you kill the zombie with a shotgun or explosives, the torso bursts open, leading to an angry swarm flying at you.
So swarm walkers from dead island 2?

I just realized that if the “top scientific mind” that made the worm react to water had a lid or took precautions like somewhere to put it or NOT putting it so close to him when it obviously didn’t like the water, the ridden infection wouldn’t have happened.
I mean it could have still gotten out look at how the Corona virus started but in any case the military could have known what it was up against before it started
Well actually had they been wearing full protective gear such as goggles, thick gloves and having the specimen locked behind a protective chamber.
The dude who started this pandemic was probably not a special disease specialist. And also kind of stupid as most scientists would probably not just casually handle something like that. Dead or not
Then again there is the Corona *HYPOTHESIS*(or conspiracy as there is no factual evidence released on how covid-19 started(just guesses based on initial outbreak parameters) where a lab was responsible for the break. As well as half of the populations ridiculous response to said virus. In the end we probably would've have ended up like this because humans panic, humans distrust, and humans have to be right. We'd all die anyways

With the Snitcher, a cool idea to Nerf it just enough is whenever Summons a horde, it has a chance to kill itself with its own Scream.
Guess you forgot that mutated ones still summon hordes even after death.
Just give it less health. It would make much more sense than randomly killing itself. If it has lower health you can kill it before it screams
@@neuu8708 it’s easy to kill if you get the whole team on the job, they really doubled down on one for all and all for one.
@@insertinsults4567 also that. I just suggested that if nerf was to happen, dying after screaming would make no sense. It's better he would have less health that would actually make some sense
Stop shooting it with your basic AR then. Melee, shotguns and flashbangs will stun it. Nades and some sniper will insta kill it. Work smarter, not harder.
Imagine doing absolute bits during the apocalypse. you survive in your base, you can kill all types of zombies, you are on top of the world. and then Cthulu just decides to pop out of the floor and decimate you.

@@neuu8708 Several things, there was that time that every video game journalist regurgitated the same rumor leading everyone to believe L4D3 was coming. There’s also the fact that making a game to a beloved franchise is scary as hell. There’s also the fact zombies are done to death at this point.
To be fair, it makes much sense that the world was easily overtaken because it's so aggressive. I wish TV shows/movies actually had special variants and different type of zombies like videos games might have. Take The Walking Dead, it's so hard to see the military overthrown by groups of zombies. But in a B4B world? They'd obviously suffer and struggle seeing as there are so many variants, bosses and even ahving the ability to make nests.

@@WowSuchGaming here's how you can survive an attack by the infected without any immunity or terminal disease you wear armor that is not only made out of something stronger than the biomass accumulated by the ridden but but you also wear something that makes you so or you have armor that is so thick that even if it is less terrible than the biomass that's been made available to the ridden no attacks can reach your meat suit or just stay in a self-sustaining orbital satellite or on a different planet with a self-sustaining ecosystem as long as we didn't make it there you are safe which can be done

I wouldn't survive because the A.I. is too dumb.
With how many people attack the ogre on the tunnel level instead of getting to safety....
I agree many idiots would be dead.
God bless veteran mode.
The only chance at survival i see is getting EXTREMELY lucky and avoiding the initial infection just by chance, then hiding in a nuclear bunker for years until somebody eventually just send out a nuke
Already got the game, and I am looking forward playing it. It looked pretty damn good so far.
It is very interesting how they used Left4Dead special infected and Dead Space Necromorph influences to create new special enemies.
Being made by TurtleRock, and considering their Abomination endgame form, I feel like the worms are an invasive parasitoid (asteroid crater makes that obvious) that would normally compete against creatures like Evolve's rapidly mutating monsters in its own ecosystem, where more things would be immune to it and eat up the worms on sight.
You know you've come a long way when you're actually being sponsored by your favorite game series
I wonder why we never see any zombie children, fish/sharks,dogs/cats,bears/beavers,etc. Since you said it seeks water sources like water treatment centers and possibly the ocean🤔... genuine question I know it's just a video game but I would assume the lore would at least be accurate to the game, unless its only going after humans specifically?
Now that that’s done here are some topics you can do a WYWS on:
-WYWS RWBYs creatures of Grimm
-WYWS Final Spaces titan invasion
-WYWS Team Fortress 2s Mann can Machine Robot Army
-WYWS Gears of Wars swarm
-WYWS Avatar The Last Air Benders fire nation invasion
-WYWS Plants vs Zombies zombie army
-WYWS One Pieces great pirate era
I agree on the MVM idea
Too me is WYWS tf2 event, so instead of just only robot invasion but also talk other event like fighting in the battlefield against the other team and talk how every 9 class merc many way to kill you or merasmus and other supernatural buddy like monoculus or horseless headless horsemen , and other event that happen in tf2
just play left for dead
lets also not forget that you wont always be immune because like docs says, it mutates and its probably mutating to over come the immunity
When you going to try this game with medkit only.
Could you do a why you wouldn't survive a scp containment breach (i refer to a situation where your a personnel in one of the sites when a containment breach ocures)
That would be literal hell
Funny thing. When I was part of the "Left 4 Dead 3" wanting crowd, I had an idea for a Special Infected called the Stinger, that...fired poison darts....
Is this just a weird coincidence 12+ years in the making?
you might’ve missed out on royalties.
33:33 says you can’t have immune player characters *shows Kyle Crane being bitten and becoming infected in Dying Light*
That's why he had to take antizen throughout the game
He used antizin to suppress the virus. The bite also wasn't the reason he turned it was the vial the mother gave him.

B4B is warming up to me. I still don’t don’t think it does or ever will be as good as the ogs, but it’s a good modern take
Yeah I hated it at first when it was considered l4d3. But it as its own game its actually okay
I think cave ins while fighting the abominations could also be a threat while/after killing it
Have you ever thought about a "why you wouldn't survive COD Ghosts extinction" episode? I was very fond of the whole carnage of hive like alien horde while your main option to kill them was to just nuke em!

Can you do why you wouldn’t survive Terminator Skynet
After bout 5 minutes of learning about the devil worm i relized there is a 0% chance of survival past a day. I want a game mode where you die and turn if you get hit with a worm. Gameplay would be 20 seconds long
Yeah I was going to say, with that game mode the toughest gamers would fall short
Literally have to avoid every zombie's body, even the long dead ones. Y I k e s
i'm guessing for a gamemode like that, you would find usable masks and helmets around the map to protect you from them. maybe 1 always spawns in every safe room but from then on, it can be broken and as soon as that happens, you'll need to listen to zoey and

It's called apocalypse mode
with those fused flesh-pile nests and glowing yellow weak spots, the dead space comparison is really on the money
I rest my case that the Ridden is literally a horrible combo of Halo’s Flood and Left 4 Dead’s Green Flu
