This was a massive project. From start to finish it took 3 months and a day to make. It's made up of about 300 video clips adding up to about 16GBs of footage. The script was around 7,300 words which came out to about 40 minutes of talking. This project being so big and time-consuming is the reason why there haven't been many uploads lately. I apologize for the lack of content. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the video. This is the first (and probably the last) time I use a video idea suggest to me on the channel's Discords server. Tell me what you think of the video.

Last Man on Earth was actually slightly scary. I ran back into the gun store with both doors broken when I heard both a smoker and hunter. They were both at the exit so I kept my aiming there. Little did I know that the hunter came through the front entrance and lunged at me. I was so lucky to move back after killing the smoker, but seeing that hunter jump across the screen scared the crap out of me. This mutation raised my awareness for them when I'm the last survivor.

Btw, the reason why tanks seemingly die so fast on the melee-only mutations is due to melee weapons all dealing fixed percentages of damage (the percentage differing on who you're attacking), which on the tank can be abused to just take off a chunk of their max health with some swings

I remember that the nightstick was _the_ Tank killer if you were going for meleeing the thing.

Having played Last Gnome on Earth with 3 friends, the effect of commons targeting the gnome carrier absolutely works. We'd take turns holding the gnome for the whole campaign, and the carrier would always have the most damage taken, the most incaps, and the most deaths. It turns the game into a VIP escort game, especially if you use our house rule of the designated gnome carrier never dropping the gnome, regardless of how badly they're getting swarmed. Lots of fun overall :)

I remember trying to find singleplayer versus because I have no friends and I remember almost all SP Versus mutations somehow have confogl rules (medkits are replaced with pills, etc.) and eventually I found Rayman1103's Mutation Mod which has working singleplayer versus without confogl rules

love how every time there was an exclamation at the end of a mutation's name, you presented the exaggerated pronunciation as just another fact about said mutation

my favorite recent memory of left 4 dead is playing through no mercy on expert with the hard eight mutation with 3 random guys and just seeing how well we could do. finding interesting strategies because we died a lot. it was a very real possibility to have only one or two survivors left and really gave everyone time to shine. i can't understate how fondly i think of that play through because of how interesting and unique it was compared to just playing the same regular expert i play every single day. it's always worth giving mutations a try especially if you can actually find people to play with

nice transition here 17:18 really liked the editing

The moment I saw rocketdude I knew you will mention rocket jump.

A 40 minute video of proper work about L4D2 in 2021 is reason enough to sub and like before i watch the video, which i usually never do.

I call hard eight sometimes as "Devil's Curtain" coz more often they spawn out of rooms with destroyable doors 🤣

This video was both interesting AND informative!

Really good video with really solid breakdowns. I'm going to give some of these a try 👌

Very cool video m8. Insane effort there. Keep up the great work :) And btw: The flying gascans are indeed a funny sideeffect of "melee_force_scalar" and "phys_pushscale" being at a crazy value. Equipped with a sharp melee you can send infected to the moon, but make sure you don´t do the same with your teammates ;D

Oh wow! A video review of all the mutations for L4D2, that is really cool! My personal favorites have always been Taaaaank! and Tank Run, I find something really enjoyable about running for dear life as tanks chase me lol, I haven't played L4D2 in awhile but I remember playing that mostly during my last time in L4D2 I was hoping to see a tier list of your favorite mutations at the end, darn!

Excellent video on all levels. Thank you very much.

Yep, had to rewatch the first couple seconds. Bravo sir

Jesus christ, this video makes me nostalgic and reminds me of your old tf2 gamemode explanation videos.

One time me and my friends played a game of healing gnome on Dark Carnival, and went out of our way to acquire *another* gnome. Due to an oversight the 2nd gnome provides health but after a while we forgot which gnome was the essential one, so we ended up having to drag 2 gnomes across the entire campaign

I'm a big fan of your videos, I always come back to rewatch these. Keep it up !

love these type of videos, keep up the good work :)

These videos inspired me to try LFD2 again. I managed to beat Dead Center on Expert by coordinating with a far more experienced player. We beat it with 2 survivor bots helping us (as much as survivor bots can).

"Let's start the reviews and deal with the friends' problem when it shows up" In the distance, The Rembrants slowly close in, reminding you that no one told you life was gonna be this way....

Your joke at the beginning was brilliant and it has changed my life forever, you are a genius.

I love this channel

No lie I was literally just thinking about making a video about this. You pulled it off better than I could've though so kudos to you. Always glad to see Left 4 Dead content around

Great stuff, thanks for the thorough listen :P

I don't even play this game and I ended up watching a 40 min video about game modes I didn't even know existed. Nice video.

Flu Season fun though it takes a while. Hard 8 on expert was the longest game I ever played. It took all night, our graphics cards were crapping out and we had to keep rejoining. Half of The Atrium wouldn’t render and we added each other on Facebook so we could use each other as job references.

Hard 8 with friends, is my favourite way play to play Left 4 Dead. An absolute joy, the chaos is really fun. Cold Stream seems to have a glitch though, that makes it particularly hectic. Dying on a certain mission, seems to double the already doubled special infected. The spawn rates are insane, the amount of special infected is absolutely overwhelming and incredibly entertaining.

Man, you are so underrated and you deserve more subs. i love your work , keep going

This is a great video!

I still remember an old mutation someone made where there are only slow commons and if one hit you, you'd get infected and would need to take pills or heal yourself before you're killed by the bleed out mechanic.

There are a lot of good mutations that get looked over and I think a lot of them would do good as separate modes.

I remember played a kind of mutation that the infected Tank has a super strong power he could sent the survivor a miles away with a single blow. But i forgot which kind of mutation I was playing or maybe it was a cheat code that disables the gravity in the game that makes the Tank so powerful.

I played a really fun mutation years ago, but I don't remember the name. In that mutation you were alone and chased by a super fast and strong tank.

You have my subb dooud. Keep on keeping on!!!

I just started playing left4dead and never even realised how many game modes there really are. WOW

One massive positive for Gib Fest for me is that it made it so much easier to earn the "Still Something to Prove" achievement

I wish mutations weren’t complete overhauls. The ones that don’t disable core gameplay mechanics while introducing a unique challenge or mechanic are without question the best; I wish more people would design mutations this way.

Every time i think of a chainsaw the first things that come to mind is Doom, Texas chainsaw massacre and left for dead

21:22 Something interesting to note about Healing Gnome that I discovered upon playing it on Dark Carnival with three friends a long while ago: If you win the gnome from the shooting gallery it will, in fact, act as a second source of healing, and you can take it to the safe room and escape vehicle and trigger the transition or escape with the second gnome. It adds an interesting twist to the mutation itself and while it does mitigate some of the health sharing issues, it also adds some challenge if you want to attempt to keep both gnomes as you go throughout the campaign, since two survivors need to carry them. All-in-all, a good mutation, and Dark Carnival's fun "bonus" twists the gameplay just a little bit more so you get more out of it.
