No, you don't seem to understand. The campaign would work as a normal campaign, just featuring different player models, and telling the back story of, say, Zoe at University when the zombie outbreak occurs.

I know, I'm not talking about your thing. I'm talking about a different idea. :/

As for your alternate-campaign, that's an insane amount of dedication to go through with new playermodels/skins.

Curious, with new player models and skins, wouldn't you also have to add new voicing for the other characters? That could come as more of a problem if anything; editing every voice for every character would take ages, especially considering the broad variety of things they say anyways...

Most people arn't THAT dedicated. Anyways you could just change the response rules to use new lines, or just use the existing ones.

I am hoping the more than 8 players to a game will be possible. A lot of things I will be looking forward to will be AI director control.

At the moment there are already server that are hosting a modded game play. Whether you want to play on it or not. I ended up in a low gravity server and it was just terrible. Everyone left withing minutes.

My Friend and I at work want to colaborate on a map. Have wanted to for a long time. L4D is a great way for us to do so. So I ahve already started scetching ideas and we have talked about layout some. I have a story for the most part. It is just a matter of them releasing the thing now, and getting started...

Nope!
By now i think we dont get it before EP3 is released. :/ I would be already happy with the Material System.
But yeah, lets hope that Valve has an insight and ships at least the updated Tools to us, so that we can Map for L4D.

The Hope never dies ;)

I had a similar idea to that of hominem, i was gonna make it start off near my house and the survivors would have to make their way towards my high school. I dont really have anything else planned but its a start.

id love to see some movies recreated, like dawn of the dead
park > shopping mall > bus > docks > island

while still planning on what i want to do, im interested in doing things that you have never seen in the average zombie film, some new scenery.

I want a religiously-gimmicky mod. No joke. IE: Left4Jews (I think it's self-explanatory)
