Project: Walkthrough

Alright, people. As you all know, Left 4 Dead 2 has been announced. This means that this website will now be focused more around hearing news about it and getting it on here. What you all may not know, is that a small amount of us have been attempting to get properly written and laid-out walkthroughs for L4D 1 onto this wiki. So far progress is moving slowly. With the new rush of L4D2 hype and information, it'll be moving slower. If it does not get done before L4D 2 comes out, it will never be completed. So, it needs be finished as soon as possible. Some, like The Tunnel, and The Train Station have to be written out for the most part whereas others, for example The Hospital only require a small amount more. If you do decide to write part of a walkthrough, refer to other finished pages for guidelines. Examples include The Sewer, The Subway and The Greenhouse.

Generally, a completed walkthrough contains the following headings:
 * 1) Strategy
 * 2) Campaign
 * 3) Versus
 * 4) The Survivors
 * 5) The Infected
 * 6) Trivia

'''The finales will not have these headings. They will be more like this:'''
 * 1) Tactics
 * 2) Survivors
 * 3) Method 1
 * 4) Method 2
 * 5) Method 3
 * 6) Method 4
 * 7) Etc, etc.
 * 8) Infected
 * 9) Assorted Strategies, etc.
 * 10) Trivia

Pages requiring attention:

No Mercy
 * The Apartments
 * The Subway
 * The Sewer
 * The Hospital
 * Rooftop Finale

Dead Air
 * The Greenhouse
 * The Crane
 * The Construction Site
 * The Terminal
 * Runway Finale

Blood Harvest
 * The Woods
 * The Tunnel
 * The Bridge
 * The Train Station
 * Farmhouse Finale

Death Toll has been excluded from this list as Stigma-231 has chosen to do it herself. If you wish to edit a Death Toll walkthrough page, contact her first.

Keep In Mind


 * Walkthoughs can be but are not necessarily formal, many of the finished walkthroughs are descriptive and talkative, rather than formal. As long as it is an actual walkthrough.
 * Do not create a walkthrough containing personal experiences written in the form "I found pills here" or "This editor was attacked by a Smoker at this point". Instead, replace it with something along the lines of "Pills can often be found here." or "Smokers can set up brilliant ambushes at this location. Be careful.".
 * Do not sign your name on any areas of the walkthrough.
 * If a seperate "Tips" section or something similar exists, try to incorporate it under the currently existing headings, for example "Strategy" or "Trivia".
 * The goal is to guide the player through the level, not give completely vague directions and locations.

If you do not know how to contribute to the walkthroughs but you know a spawn location of a Tank, pills, grenades or a Witch that is not on the page, contact me and I will fill it in for you. -- Five Dog ( Talk ){ Updates } 21:36, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
