"HEAVY story. One thing that makes Left 4 Dead's lack of story great is the online multiplayer with people. Now it would be cool to have a great story with great online playability, but if the story doesn't really matter and you can't play it online (don't take this offensively) then why would anyone wish to play it? Therefore, I suggest heavy story."

DOn't worry,the story will be awesome,or at least,very large

"How well would the bots react? What are the improvements from the tier 2 weapons? Why the African islands? What do the new infected add that the other infected do not have? And if more survivors than four are used, then how will you balance the gameplay? "

The engine i'm using to make L4D11ty can maintain AI control and prevent dumb AI.The new infected will offer a new turn on gameplay.The Mauler can steahily bite onto a Surivor and drain their health.And their as small as a baby.The deciever spews infected gas on the survivors,causing them to hallucinate and fuck up.And anything in the stalker's view will be marked in the infected's eyesight.

"And how will director mode work if the bots get stuck, don't respond, or glitch somewhere so often? "

Director Mode has a funtion called Drag Bot,which allows you to pick up an AI bot Surivor/Infected and move it anywhere,plus the Drag Bot can reset the AI to working status

"I'm just trying to give you some suggestions and questions to consider for your mod. Personally, I think mods and maps would help the L4D community to stay alive. "

All help is appreciatred and all questiosn will be answered.

Oh and i forgot.You can play as the survivors from L4D 1 and 2 in versus and sandbox mode,plus the new survivors,and their are 3 unlockable groups.


 * Valve-Game survivors:Gordan Freeman,Alyx Vance,G-Man,Chell.


 * Commericial survivors:Billy Mays,Vince Offer,Kerry Katona and Barry Scott


 * Insane Survivors:Chuck Norris,Jesus,Leonidas,Tera Patrick

And the Tier 3/4 weapons will help later in the game,especially on expert where the common infected get smarter and ambmush you,in story mode you will be able to unlock diffrent weapons in that tier sector,heres a small list


 * Tier 1:M19A11(Or whatever it is called),pump action shotgun,makeshift hunting rifle,Baseball Bat melee weapon.


 * Tier 2:USP Pistol,Auto-Shotgun,Assault rifle.Proper Hunting Rifle,Axe Melee weapon.

Tier 3:.44 Magnum,Heavy attack shotgun (30 round clip,fires faster than auto shotgun),M249 SAW (Light machine gun),Dragunov SVD,Sledgehammer melee weapon

Tier 4(Crazy weapons):Quadruple Barrel Shotgun,Portable Minigun,50.Cal Sniper,Chainsaw.

And there are a few unlockables,which are hard to get:Laser Rifle,RPG Launcher,and gauss pistol,and a lightsaber.(Laser rifle is obtained after finishing story mode,RPG is unlocked after obtaining 50,000 total kills,Gauss Pistol can be unlocked via special code in main menu,and Lightsaber is unlocked by finding the hidden jedi corpse easter egg in story mode)

ANy more questions?And trust me,i will attempt to balance the game out.Although i still need more infected,3 new types won't be enough.

One last thing.The main story only has 4 survivors (The Elite survival team,who are unfortuantely on vacation),but in versus,you can add 4 other survivrs to fight against,and 4 infected,allowing for 4 survivors vs. 4 survivors and 8 special infected.

And the africian island is.....well,lets jsut say that an interesting plot element involving the military makes it a nice location.
