Talk:Gameplay Modes

Instead of adding "unofficial" game-play modes to the main wiki, I figured it'd be appropriate to add them here. Dashade 02:20, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

=Tactical Crouch Game=

Tactical Crouch Game, or TCG, is a fun little custom co-op game style on left 4 dead where everyone is crouched at all times, flashlights are off, and the only time you get out of crouch and run is if someone on your team gets dragged by a smoker or if there is a tank. The challenge is to stick together and use fewer bullets. The reason why you would play TCG is because most of the time people usually run off from the rest of the team or someone gets left behind. When you play TCG every one moves at the same speed even if you are limping and you need you teams help more then ever when you can’t move as fast. Another reason is because when you are crouching and have no flashlight, the zombies most of the time can’t see you coming so you feel a little more stealthy and you will not have the horde after you all the time.

Good tactics for when you are playing TCG is to make sure all bots or idle players are killed so they do not attract any zombies. Another good tactic is to have a weapon that does not make too much noise and can kill a zombie with a few shots. Make sure to save your med kits for when things look bad or your teammates are dying. TCG is not how fast you finish a level its how well. The best tactic you should use is to stick together as a team and form lines, where someone takes point at the front and leads. The player who takes point should always get the first shot to help reduce friendly fire and to alert players of incoming zombies. The middle players are for support such as to melee zombies that get too close or to pick up players trapped or down. The player at the end watches the back and alerts the team if there are zombies attacking from behind. If you are overrun by a horde of zombies the best tactic is to get your team in a corner and keep meleeing or to get your team on a wall and have two players in the back standing up shooting and two people in the front crouched shooting as well.

=Left 4 Speed= Left 4 Speed, or L4S, is another custom mini-game for Versus Mode. The rules are simple.


 * You run.
 * If someone goes down behind you, you cannot turn around and help them. At most, you're allowed to turn around and shoot.
 * If someone is incapacitated, you cannot help them up unless they are in front of you.
 * "Scoring" is based on how far the furthest player on a team goes, not on the average distance the team goes.

Another gameplay mode
I quote from wikipedia "There will also be a fourth game mode that has not yet been revealed." Should we add it to this article stating that it will have a fourth game play mode? Powers38Talk 10:51, 6 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah I heard Doug talking about it in an interview once, but we got zero information about it besides that it's a mode, so we got nothing to write about in here, it should go in Left 4 Dead 2 I think. Zikkun 12:59, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
