Talk:The Mall

Difference between playing publically and privately?
Well, when playing this level by myself, I find that there is an emergency door that is similar to the one in the original left 4 dead, however, when playing with friends, I found that the event starts when you in a kiddy play store having to destroy windows to activate the same alarm. Am I right or are there two ways to activate it? --Dwarf Ninjas 22:55, November 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * There are 2 ways to actiavte it, though I don't think it's a matter of public vs private, it's simpyl which path you choose --DragonJTSLeave me a message 07:30, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * Found that out after playing it some more. Turns out, AI Director decides. Should'a figured. However, reading the article, I did not know that the escalators change position too; to me, they always seem to be in the same spot, regardless of which trigger to the event is used. 74.190.65.76 12:40, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

Why is the mall empty
When I first played through this chapter I was completely surprised to see the mall empty. This were a lot empty shelves. The mall chapter looked generic without any stuff inside and most of the stores closed. I was expecting to see the mall look kinda like the mall from Dawn of the Dead or the video game Dead Rising. What happened to all the stuff inside the mall? Was the mall looted? Did Valve have any time working on the mall? --NotShemp 05:14, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

I'd imagine it was looted. --DragonJTSLeave me a message 07:29, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah I'm going with that to.--Chairman Jack the BlackCOGskull.jpg 07:37, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

Whats up with the director?
It seems that whenever I play this chapter, the director spawns 2 of the same special infected. In my last playthrough, I got 2 hunters at once, 2 smokers at once, and twice I got 2 chargers at once. Any ideas why? Purplemonkey55 03:57, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
