Left 4 Dead/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** You will be amazed at the sheer amount of [[Self Fanservice]] art there is of the Hunter as a [[Bishounen]]. And let's not get started on [[Shipping|Hunter/Smoker or Hunter/Witch]]...

** The Witch, leading to her being [[The Woobie]] or even [[Ms. Fanservice]]. [http://diasregin.deviantart.com/art/Witch-137851176 Which can be a very good thing, if you know what I mean.]

* [[Ear Worm]]: The wailed tune that plays when you are getting too close to a Witch is extremely catchy.

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: NO ZOMBIE IS SAFE FROM CHICAGO TED.

* [[Fan Dumb]]: Hoo boy. While the fans were pretty much alright when Left 4 Dead first started, Left 4 Dead 2 opened a huge can of worms. Between people who think they know what it takes to improve either game or the series as a whole, flame wars over which L4D game is better, people demanding Valve to fix everything right this instant, people demanding Valve to add more content, demands for Valve to make their favorite mutation a permanent game mode, and people who [[Complaining About Complaining|tell everyone else to shut up since Valve has done no wrong]], it's hard to find people who actually play the game and not complain about ''something'' in the Left 4 Dead series.

** Despite people who swear Left 4 Dead 2 is the worst game Valve ever made and them complaining about anything in the game on the Steam forums time and time again, these type of people either just never leave or are seen still playing the game.

* [[Game Breaker]]:

** A major problem in the first game. Corner camping. Have all survivors cram up in a corner of a wall or a small room and constantly melee the infected rushing in or shoot all at once. Aside from a Tank, nothing can break through this formation. This is so common that most infected players in VS mode wait it out until the survivor players move again and both teams will corner camp when it's their turn as survivors.

** There's also a Tourette's Guy soundpack for the Tank. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8bUjBGRioU&feature=related Watch it here.]

** And there's another that replaces all playable infected with the survivors, amusingly.

*** Fortunately, players can still find the Heavy in the Left 4 Dead universe, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQNjCPUlVYg along with a certain friend!]

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnuoeTz2vFg Scout zombies], that is all.

** Also, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTxTWMA9iew Johnny Bravo Tank].

** [[Billy Mays]] Tank.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-db9qgn99o Teletubbies]. Now you can be as afraid of them as Jerry Falwell.

*** Another good case of nightmare fuel, watching empty-eyed Teletubbies running at you and trying to rip you apart.

*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMnWfFnA6zo o hai!]

** ''Left 4 Dead 2'' had demo mods! Such mods include [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7mgfJ0dMBE ''Don't Stop Me Now''] [[Shaun of the Dead|as a Jukebox song]].

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMeMbhhenNI Possibly the greatest mod ever]

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMaBShuQv98 Shut up Witch.]

** [http://www.halolz.com/2009/12/18/video-left-4-dead-2-silly-infected-soundmods Here] are some hilarious soundpack mods. You can thank me later.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5b0PNkh-Kl0&feature=watch_response Not enough soundtrack dissonance for ya?]

*** More moe can be had with the ''[[Lucky Star]]'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOx9HgbYJ6w cast].

* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff]]:

** The game is apparently fairly popular in Japan, possibly owing to the game's linear structure and immense replay value, which is surprising considering how unpopular western-developed games, specifically first-person shooters, are in Japan. Even [[Hideo Kojima]] has confessed that he's a fan of the game!

* [[Hell Is That Noise]]: The Witch's sobs are very unnerving if you don't know where she is, or if you're about to piss her off.

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]:

** The [[Fictional Video Game]] in ''[[Stay Alive]]'' is a co-op monster/zombie shooter set in New Orleans. Compare to ''Left 4 Dead 2''.

* [[Ho Yay Shipping]]: The Sacrifice brings us an, uh...''interesting'' line that Bill can say if Francis is the one to make the [[Heroic Sacrifice]]...

* [[Internet Backdraft]]: May the internet have mercy on your soul if you dare say that VS mode (mostly in Left 4 Dead 2) is fine just the way it is. Expect to have competitive players to either call you a casual player or assume you never touched VS mode at all.

** The community will also explode if you even try to compare the first game with the second game or have the balls to say one is better than the other.

* [[Jerkass Woobie]] - The Church Guy. Justified in that he is halfway turned into a zombie when you meet him, and distrusts you because he had been bitten by the previous person he let in.

* [[Memetic Badass]]:

*** Found in a community campaign, "I Hate Mountains" Area 4, is '''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6978077/1/The_Epic_of_Chicago_Ted The Epic of Chicago Ted]'''.

* [[Memetic Mutation]]: [[Fountain of Memes|Numerous.]]

** "I hate hospitals." "I hate stairs." "I hate forests." "I hate small towns." "I hate lawyers." "I hate tunnels." "I hate vans." "I hate train yards." "[[Take That/Video Games|I hate]] [[Ayn Rand]]."

*** In ''No Mercy'', Bill may [[Lampshade]] this on the elevator:

'''Francis:''' You know what I don't hate? I don't hate vests. }}

*** Even parodied a bit in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSZTI4W8xts trailer for the Passing campaign], in which Francis and Rochelle start to agree with hating everything, and for once, Rochelle hates something Francis doesn't, his vest.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKu60YKqsvs "Grabbin' Peelz!"]

*** PEELZ HERE!

*** If Pills are involved in a Gmod machinima, Louis becomes a [[Memetic Badass]] just to get them. [[Berserk Button|But never try to take them away from him.]]

** [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=280 RAGE QUIT!] Though this is spewed over anyone leaving over for ANY reason, even if there is no raging involved. Some people are now also shouting RAGE KICK over people who are too kick happy in forcing people to leave.

** 1. bind <key> "vocalize use adrenaline" 2. Play as Ellis. 3. Press that key over and over. 4. [[Step Three: Profit|???]] 5. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv_EkOrhRQk WUBUBUBUBUBU]

** Now in full spades after Valve made a poll asking if all weapons (except ones in safe rooms) should be either single pick up or multi pick up and the majority voting for the latter. Cue in complaints from "pro" players about how the community is too stupid to know what they want or how Valve is catering to the casuals.

* [[Tear Jerker]]: {{spoiler|In Zoey's backstory she was forced to [[Mercy Kill]] her father who had been bitten and clawed. It got worse when she discovered that was immune all along.}}

* [[Too Cool to Live]]: {{spoiler|Bill.}}

* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: According to Chet Faliszek, the reason there are so many Witches near the sugar mill in Hard Rain is that they are drawn to the smell of the sugar. So we have female zombies, likely to snap at a moment's notice (ESPECIALLY if you touch her), who are drawn to the smell of sugar... [[Menstrual Menace|yeah.]]
