Talk:Finale

Dead Air
Does anyone else think it is odd that Dead Air is the only finale that could actually summon the horde. The others are simply radios whereas that one is a pump that makes "a real racket, so you better make sure you're ready for a fight before you start 'er up!" I know it's all for fun anyway, but it just seems strange that in the other campaigns they charge you for no reason. Any thoughts? Perhaps the infected can "sense" hope? :P -- Five Dog ( Talk ) 11:06, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that is strange. Being able to sense hope would certainly explain a lot. Also, though it's unrelated to this article, The Sewer. How can a lift that's relatively quiet bring more Infected than blowing up a gas station?! I honestly think Valve likes to baffle its followers, sometimes. But they're still cool.

 * Your point about the lift and the gas pump explosion also applies in Dead Air. The plane comes down... KABOOM!!.... Not even a crescendo event.... but the pump calls in the finale! Valve have a funny way of doing things. -- Five Dog ( Talk ){ Updates } 23:22, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, this is a complete guess, but maybe for no mercy, the helicopter could be making a lot of racket (but that wouldn't explian why they show up at the hospital.) thats all i got, tho.--Supermutantslayer450 21:05, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

Well, i'd guess that maybe radio chatter attracts the infected, i don't know its just a guess, and then it should only upon contact from both sides--Fijure 16:05, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

But that doesn't explain why the radio chatter between the two military men on the finale of "The Parish" doesn't attract any infected. The bridge lowering and the loud CLANG that follows, however, DOES make sense. Knuckx117 13:07, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

Actually according to one of the helicopter pilot's cut lines, the infected are attracted to hope. His quote is something along the lines of "I swear those things can sense hope...and when they do, they have to destroy it!" Which could explain most of this, for example, blowing up a gas station wouldn't make the survivors feel hopeful, whereas realizing that the lift still works and that they're one step closer to a rescue would. And whenever a finale is started they feel more hope, which attracts more infected. And when rescue arrives they feel even more hopeful, resulting in an endless onslaught of infected.

How the FFFF do they sense hope guys, + wouldn't that manifest itself differently in the brains of individuals. Paladin cross 16:38, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
