About me
Name's Hussain. You can call me LoneWolf as a nickname. It fits me the best but try not to ask why. I hail from the "not so racism-free" country of Singapore and I am an avid gamer, currently playing Left 4 Dead on Steam only. I also like to write stories (usually novels, fantasy war novels specifically), so much so that I had about 18 ideas for stories but I rarely have the time to write anything so that raw talent of mine is currently on hold. I recently got myself into doing Left 4 Dead fanfictions.

I'm 17 years old by the way so don't be surprised if I become child-like at times.

In this Wiki, I want to help by contributing any info which was not included. I sometimes pop in the talk pages just so that I could get to know the community a bit better. However, my main focus is to spot the vandals. I never realized how annoying they can get until I became a member myself. Yet, I used to think that the Youtube trolls were bad enough.

Other than that, I spent majority of my days making Left 4 Dead machinimas and uploading them on Youtube. I plan on making them movie-like and based on all the campaigns and chapters (including the non-canon The Last Stand). I tried to keep the characters' original personality intact along with the traditions and running gags. I also added in my own ones like: Zoey being the Smoker's main victim, Francis screaming when startled, Louis addicted to pain pills (by popular demand), Bill being the leader and more.

Ideas and constructive criticisms are always appreciated so send some if you wish.

Currently, No Mercy, Crash Course and Death Toll is fully finished. Dead Air is next.

Campaign
Back then when I was a newbie to Left 4 Dead, I was playing Death Toll as my first campaign. I was quickly annoyed by the loud noise generated by the guns and the Special Infected and the music that came when the Horde hits was ear raping somehow. Not realizing the sound's role in the game, I soften it to the point that the Hunters' screams were pretty muffled. Due to this, I had instances where I turn to a corner, only to run into the big, gray hulk who was breathing in the oxygen in there. On other instances, I ran right into a Witch and speaking of Witches, I nearly poop when I heard my first ever Witch cry in Left 4 Dead.

Smokers were a big pain in the *beep* because of many incidents where they pulled me to an inevitable death drop. In Death Toll, for example, one pulled me into the waters of The Boathouse Finale, incapping me in the process. AI Louis killed him but the incoming Horde made it hard for my teammates to revive me. In the end, I drowned and restarted the chapter. Another instance was while I was jumping in the Dead Air rooftops. One pulled me and since I was jumping, I fell off the roof without hanging on the ledge and died instantly. Worse still, it was on Easy. Those AI Smokers are somewhat smarter than players in my opinion and have earned by hatred. I frequented the Hunting Rifle to bust his head when I see one. Since I spend majority of my time playing Zoey (my favourite Survivor out of all 8), I often think of the Smoker as her enemy, so much so that I implement the idea into my machinimas in Youtube. Hunters, Jockeys and Chargers were not too tough for me to defeat. Boomers and Spitters are somewhat problematic for me because I tend to get trigger-happy. Oh...and I am an expert in crowning Witches.

Versus
Versus is one of my favorite game modes (ironically the game mode which gave me a lot of stress). I love to play the Smoker, which is opposite of my feelings towards them as a Survivor. Due to many incidents where the AI Smoker killed me, I utilized it myself and I once killed 3 Survivors in one life (The 4th guy was killed by a fellow Hunter while he has hiding in the ending saferoom). I also enjoyed playing as a Tank and got the All 4 Dead achievement pretty early. I am pretty bad as the Boomer and Hunter but thanks to this Wiki, I learned to utilize the Hunter's clawing more. I never played Left 4 Dead 2 Versus but I never planned to as my main focus is Left 4 Dead 1.

Funny moments include an instance where a player playing as Bill was opening a door to check a closet. I, as a Boomer, was in there and I instantly puked on him. Bill shouted, "Argh! Goddamit! Son of a bitch!", closed the door and ran off only to run into a Horde. His teammates accidentally triggered the Tank and who played as the Tank? Me. While the Horde deals with the incapped Bill, I incapped Zoey and Louis (both players cornered themselves so they were incapped side by side). While a fleeing Francis was just running and not shooting, I gave chase and accidentally killed a fellow Hunter who pounced him. He continued running and decided to end the round by jumping into a static fire. It was fun and all my teammates praised me for the win, especially since the Survivor players were all in 80+ health, even though my ping was 500+ at that time.

Whenever I log in to play Versus, I tend to change the game files before starting up the game to completely change the appearance of the Survivors and Specials, except for the Boomer. My reason in doing so is pretty simple: I like the Survivors so much that killing them is what I dislike to do. I want to make it seem like as if I am killing or playing as a different Survivor so I modded their appearance. I also did so with the Specials so that they appear more meancing. The Boomer was left untouched because he is already at his best in terms of appearance

Most Horrifying Experience
You know those people who keeps believing that the Church Guy has a chance of turning into a Witch or a Tank? I didn't believe it. Still, though he won't turn into one, what if he was infected by one or decided to keep one as a pet? Maybe that's how the players get that strange little assumption.

Deep at night, I decided to play Singleplayer when I had a lot of difficulty sleeping. I started Death Toll, picked Zoey and played through The Turnpike and The Drains without ever using a First Aid Kit even though it was on Advance (I was being selfish actually. Francis was killed because he was black and white after being incapped multiple times). Now, when The Church started, I did all I had to do before I opened the Saferoom door. I progressed through the level well, crowning a Witch in the process. I lost nearly no health and found dual pistols along the way. When I could hear the Church Guy's voice, I was prepared to start the Crescendo Event when I heard something else which gave me a mild shock.

A Tank was growling nearby and following the sound, it seems to be somewhere outside the church, coming from the Saferoom's direction. Assuming that he won't even notice any of us, I started a nice little arguement with the Church Guy and fought a massive horde after that. Before I decided to end the chapter, I took some ammo from a nearby room while I let the bots deal with the Church Guy, who became a Smoker. I heard the Smoker's explosion when suddenly, the Tank's music play. Francis ran in, turn to his left and was punched out of the Saferoom which was then followed by a rampaging grey hulk running out of the Saferoom and literally scaring the heck out of me. In my panicked state, I shot Bill till he was incapacitated. The Tank pummeled him to death and during the chaos, Louis was being ripped apart by a Hunter. Francis and I were the last two Survivors standing and the Tank decided to ran after Francis. Taking advantage, I ran for the Saferoom and was that close to shutting the door when suddenly, my worst enemy, The Smoker, pulled me out and started strangling the life out of Zoey. Francis outrunned the Tank long enough for the Smoker to snap Zoey's neck and hence, a nice little restart.

Thus, the Church Guy won't turn into a Witch or a Tank. He just had the maniacal mindset of keeping one as a pet.

My Favourites and Hates in Left 4 Dead
(please take note that this section is all based on my opinion and hence, may not be valid or the same as yours)

Favourites
My number one favourite Survivor would be Zoey. No, it is not because she is hot, even if she is. She is the youngest of the team and a pretty funny and spastic character. She seem to fit me best despite being a girl. She is also the Survivor known for using the Hunting Rifle and I frequented that gun ever since I started hating the Smokers. She is also the loudest when it comes to screaming and crying for help so I can just spam the vocalize commands to get help when needed. Other favourite Survivors includes Ellis, Francis and Coach.

Ellis is, just like Zoey, the youngest of his team and also one with a pretty strange sense of humour. He wears a cap and I like caps. He is talkative and I am talkative so he fits me just as well as Zoey. I also like his accent. Francis's constant saying of him hating something kept me smiling when playing the game and I almost like him instantly. His screams while incapacitated also gave me a long laugh, making me think that he is the most humorous character that I ever encountered throughout my gaming life. Coach's appearance and personality reminded me of several people I know in life and he is a pretty funny guy in his owns ways. His large size makes him an easy character to see, and get shot. Speaking of getting shot, he has some of the funniest friendly fire quotes, at least in my opinion. Favourite friendly fire quotes from him includes, "Excuse me! EXCUSE ME!", "Hey Nick, that was my ass you shot." and "Do I look like a ten foot tall monster!?"

Favourite weapon is the Hunting Rifle because its one shot kill on Common and its capability of killing Smokers from a distance kind of appeals to me. Most favourite Special Infected would be the Smoker, simply because I find myself to be able to deal the most damage as him, though I hate him when he is not on my side. Other favourite Specials would be the Charger, the Tank and the Hunter, reasons being them looking pretty badass. Favourite campaign is Crash Course, though the reason I like it is unknown. I just seem to like it for reasons unknown to even myself. Still, I like the other maps too.

Hates
When it comes to Survivors, the one I dislike the most is Rochelle. Now, I know what you're thinking. No, I don't hate her brecause she is silent (In fact, I think she is just as talkative as Francis). I also don't hate her because she is ugly in comparison to Zoey. My dislike over Rochelle kind of accumulated slowly from my first Left 4 Dead 2 playthrough till my latest. As I was slowly discovering the new Survivors' personalities, I slowly grow to dislike her. Despite what this Wiki and Valve said, she is just as childish as Ellis but unlike Ellis, she jokes at some of the worse possible times. I am even surprised that she thinks that Ellis is not right in the head. I mean seriously, in a zombie apocalypse, you should be looking out for each other while joking at the right time. She grabs a First Aid kit and what she says? "Nothing to see. No health kit here.". When I first heard that, I was at 10 health and when the AI Ellis tried to health me, I killed her and took her First Aid kit. I was pretty insulted more or less. Also, when Coach or Nick died, she had no sympathy for them. She actually dared to crack even the most minor of jokes over an ally's dead body. Ellis actually feels sad for Nick and vice versa. Why can't Rochelle, who was treated nicely by the others, do the same? I don't know why but Valve made her a big jerk somehow, at least to me. I hate her enough to let a Charger pummel her on a puddle of acid on one playthrough.

I think you know what Special Infected I hate the most. I've stated it many times. My least favourite weapon is, believe it or not, the Autoshotgun. Many people love it for its firepower and I agree with them. However, its bad accuracy when targeting long ranged targets, like the Smoker, makes me avoid it. Also, since most players like to use it, whenever I pick it up, I feel like I am going with the flow. I wanted to be different so I picked the Hunting Rifle instead to compensate the lack of ranged weapons. I don't really hate any of the campaigns so nothing much on that.

What about the other Survivors?
My opinion on the other Survivors are different and there are reasons why they are neither on my favourite nor hate list.

Bill is a leader and a pretty funny old fella. His friendly fire quotes (especially when shot by Francis) is just as funny as Coach's and his background as a Special Forces soldier appeals to me somehow. What I dislike about him is his age. I have respect for the elders, believe me on that. It is just that, I'd rather play as a young fella and get advice from an old man instead of being an old man and giving immature advice to the younger ones. I am a follower, not a leader. Still, I like Bill but not really a favourite of mine.

When I heard that Bill was the canonical Survivor to die in The Passing, I was fairly devastated. While he isn't truly a favourite of mine, he is still very likeable to me and his death might actually show that he is selfless despite his stoic personality. Still, if he is indeed the canonical Survivor to die, I have to admit that Valve made the best choice. Being a soldier who fought in Vietnam, he should have the mindset of one who is brave and willing to risk his life for others. Besides, he probably have seen other soldiers dying and he might feel that he had seen enough deaths for one lifetime. Also, as the eldest of the Survivors, he had lived his life and the others should be given a chance to live theirs.

I feel strange saying such things to a character that is not even real but this is what happens when a gamer meets a very likeable cast of characters and I credit Valve for that. RIP Bill.

Louis is a humorous guy in his own ways. Like Coach, I like his friendly fire quotes. His "Pills here!" quote also kept me laughing evertime I hear it. My only problem with him is that he didn't appeal to me in anyway. He is just an average man with an optimistic mind so I'm pretty neutral with him.

Nick used to be the sole Survivor I hated. His quotes suggested to me that he is a vain and selfish man. However, unlike Rochelle, he still showed at least some sense of sympathy when his teammates are dead. Even if he is negative towards a dead Ellis, he still sounds sympathetic. When I reached The Parish, I realized that he started valuing him teammates. He jokes in a friendly manner with Ellis unlike before and even respects Coach. As usual, he is nice to Rochelle and hence, a slight gentleman. He is the only character who shows some character development (at least in my opinion). Still, he is pretty negative in The Parish, hence he is neither my favourite nor hated Survivor.
