Surely it should simply be Left 2 Die?

A 'Dead Set' mod. It recreates Dead Set (obviously - if you didn't know, Dead Set is a British miniseries involving fast zombies identical to the Common Infected, only stupider and much more bitey).

It would be SP with all the special infected tossed out, and would be more of a puzzle / horror game than a 'mow the bastards down' style shooter affair that is L4D: A British tv set = no weapons save improvised things like paper scissors and fire extinguishers, but thankfully the zombies are quite thick: unlike their L4D couterparts, they cannot break down doors and windows and are too stupid to climb fences or even find their way out of a swimming pool (quite literally in the show). In sufficient numbers, they can break in, but you'd really need a big swarm of the bastards for that.

The puzzle aspect would stem from their above stupidity; you have to escape by running like hell before you get caught and eaten. Taking advantage of the fact that they're stupider than a McDonalds employee is pretty much the only way you can do this. Not that you won't find any weapons, it's just than Britain has gun control, making finding them hard. Oh, and you really do have to shoot them in the head this time.

I want a world-war 2 content mod that leaves the core gameplay the same, but instead replaces all the models and skins to fit the era. As in the creation of new DOD:S type levels, with the SMG replaced with the Thompson, the shotgun with a trench shotgun, An STG44 for the assault Rifle, and a scoped M1-carbine for the hunting rifle. Obviously the pistol would remain the old 1911. It could even change the gameplay, opting for slower zombies or whatnot, but hey, its just an idea.

This may sound stupid, but I don't really think I personally will use L4D for any sort of mod creation or even design levels for it. I am strictly a fan of multiplayer level design. Maybe I will mess around with it for a bit, but it really isn't too intriguing to me tbh...

A mod I'd be interested to see is a melee-only version of L4D. With weapons like fire axes and even chainsaws. Might have to remove the tank though...

[Edit] And the smoker for that matter...

He was being sarcastic. This is a Source Mapping site, most of us know when the SDK will hit.
