Talk:Midnight Riders

Yeah, I do think they justify their own page now. They aren't a real band like Elbow, and now the website gives them enough stuff to write about.

Maybe we do need a page for them. Look at this http://www.midnight-riders.com/ Is Valve working on Midnight Riders DLC? --Death Dragon 15:05, November 19, 2009 (UTC)

I'm thinking they might make this group as an easter egg in the conclusion of Dark Carnival maybe four new, unique, uncommon common infected.

On topic, Midnight Riders are to the L4D universe as Motorhead is to ours. They're a Brutal Hard Rock band that doesn't believe in selling out and playing huge stadiums. They care about entertaining the fans all over the globe with the best concert they'll see in their lifetime. The Midnight Riders apparently have the biggest lights and Pyrotechnics show on earth. It's said that they need to cancel a show if theres a breeze, because it would light the town downwind from them on fire. It was confirmed in Dark Carnival that the four of them survived and were airlifter via helicopter. This may or may not lead to a DLC chapter that details the group's ventures after they get out of their helicopter. If true, this would be the first L4D DLC in which you play as a new set of characters. 192.139.27.18 16:10, November 19, 2009 (UTC) Geoff Portnoy

it wouldn't be hard for valve to make character models after these guys, considering all they would need to do is edit the character model for Francis four times.

Its been said that the helicopter that airlifted them away crashed, but they survived the crash. If a DLC of them were to be made, that's were I think it would begin, at the downed helicopter.Bloodshed269 21:57, November 19, 2009 (UTC)

that would be the 3rd helicopter crash, after crash course and the transition from dark carnival to swamp fever!
 * No, it's be the same crash as the latter that you mentioned; The crash between Dark Carnival and Swamp Fever. At the beginning of Swamp Fever, they don't start out at the helicopter, though, so something happened between the crash and the beginning of that Campaign. --AleximMose 13:29, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

Swamp Fever does take place right after Dark Carnival. The helicopter they escaped in did crash, you can see it if you climb over the train carriage the Survivors start in. -Chrillen

They need their own article. They are noteworthy and even give a bit of pre-infection information, like the "Green flu" and how they were the only band that was still on tour when everyone was told to stay indoors. Adreensherpderp 02:59, November 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * We've talked it over, and we've decided to let you have your page back, as it is a product of Valve and not a real band. (That was our mistake.) But if we can't make it a worth while page with very constructive info, the page will be deleted once more, and whatever constructive info was on the page will be merged on to the Survivors page. I hope this is acceptable for everyone, and happy editing. Jo the Marten  ♠  ( Shriek )  ಠ_ಠ  03:23, November 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * If it end up in a DLC, I hope we can play as the band members. And BTW I'll enjoy playing as Ox =) Aratinga A. Ѭ  19:24, November 24, 2009 (UTC)

DLC?
Do you think these guys might have a dlc campaign where you play as them? It is unknown whether they are dead or not, its just assumed

Probably, because of all the MR media they have released. However, I hope that at least 2 of the midnight riders are not immune (aka unplayable/dead). Common, all 4 band members just happen to be immune, yeah right. Maybe the 2 other survivors could be a roadie,a band manager or businessman related to the band, a stage crew guy, a pyrotechnics expert, or an unrelated carnival worker.--Verno 18:39, November 27, 2009 (UTC)
