So I just bought Left 4 Dead 2 today on Xbox 360, got back from the shop about 2 hours ago, and I wanna buy one of the DLC packs. Because I'm so poor and can't afford much, I can only get 1 DLC at the moment. So I wanted to get an opinion from you guys on which one is the best. Nov 30, 2009  Unfortunately loading a map from within the Left 4 Dead 2 menu's will result in cheats being disabled automatically whether or not you specify them on. To get around this simply run the game (make sure the developer console is enabled in options) then. Type in console 'svcheats 1'. The Top 50 Left 4 Dead 2 Custom Campaigns, with posters and download links at GameMaps www.gamemaps.com.This is a reference for those who are looking for the best custom campaigns to play.

At the Steam control panel, Right Click the 'Left 4 Dead 2 Demo' option, and select 'Properties' under the 'My Games' tab. In the General tab, select 'Set Launch Options', enter '-console' in that field, and accept it. Start the game, and the console window should appear at the main menu.

You will return to the main menu. Enable either 'map' code again, then enable the 'sv_cheats 1' code again. Then, type one of the following codes and press [Enter] to activate the corresponding cheat function:

Use an adrenaline shot, then use your medikit to heal. This takes a much less time, especially when you are dealing with a horde.

Find a corner, and have a melee weapon equipped. Hold [Melee] while aiming at the approaching zombies. Note: You may get hit a few times.

Use the following tactics to kill special Infected:

Boomer: Shoot at the stomach while staying as far back as possible.

Charger: Get close to it. This will prevent it from charging, and then it can only inflict melee damage. This makes it easier to kill it with any weapon (melee or gun).

Hunter: When it is in its pouncing position, use a shotgun to nudge it away, then shoot it in the face. Alternately, use the shove move while it is jumping at you to force it to stumble back, thus preventing it from landing on you.

Jockey: Get into a huddle with your teammates, and wait for the Jockey to appear. When you see it, all teammates can shoot the Jockey at the same time. Huddling together will prevent it from launching at you. Alternately, use the shove move while it is launching at you to force it to stumble back, thus preventing it from landing on you.

Smoker: Use a similar strategy as with the Charger. You must get directly in front of it before killing it. The Smoker uses its tongue to grab survivors from far distances, but it cannot do that when you are very close.

Spitter: Shoot at the head, and be ready to get out of the way when it spits.

Tank: Go to high ground, and shoot at it while dodging it. In Co-op mode, use a grenade launcher for a frontal assault while your teammates fire at its back with shotguns. Alternately, do not try to deal any damage to the Tank, but instead hide somewhere and let the survivor A.I. kill it.

In the bar in the abandoned town, find the jukebox, and play it to hear 'Eat Your Brains' by Jonathan Coulton.

In The Parish: The Park, when you reach the bar with the jukebox inside, keep skipping through the songs to eventually hear the song 'I'm Still Alive' from Portal.

Left 4 Dead 2 Steam

Start a versus match with friends. Play as the Spitter, and have a friend as the Smoker. Have your friend start choking a survivor with the Smoker, then spit on the survivor with the Spitter while the Smoker is choking them to get the 'A Spittle Help From My Friends' achievement.

Play against a friend. Jump on the back of a bot as the Jockey, and have your friend melee you off. Run away to recover. Then, jump on a survivor's back to get the 'Back In The Saddle' achievement.

In Dead Center: The Atrium Finale in Survival mode, kill the bots so they do not steal your kills. Then, grab the grenade launcher and a bile bomb. Once the horde starts, throw the bile bomb, and wait for a large number of them to get around it. Then, fire the grenade launcher at the horde around the bile bomb. You should get the 'Dismemberment Plan' achievement as long as their were a large number of zombies standing around the bile bomb.

In Dark Carnival: The Barns, find the strength-testing mini-game in the first area. Inject adrenaline, and hit it with a melee weapon to get the 'Gong Show' achievement.

In Dark Carnival: The Fairgrounds, find the shooting range. Score over 500 points to make a garden gnome appear. Carry the gnome to the end of the level, and board the chopper with it at the end of Dark Carnival: The Concert to get the 'Guardin' Gnome' achievement.

In Dead Center: The Streets, reach the 'Save 4 Less' store where you must get the cola. Kill all the CEDA agents along the way, and collect the vials of Boomer vomit they drop (not all CEDA agents will drop Boomer vomit). If you still need more vials of Boomer vomit once you reach the store, just set off the alarm, and hordes will keep coming with random CEDA agents.

Start a versus match with friends. Play as the Jockey, and have a friend as the Spitter. Then, jump onto a survivor as the Jockey, and steer them into the Spitter's acid to get the 'Rode Hard' achievement.

In Dead Center: The Atrium Finale in Survival mode, have a human survivor go up to the top of the stairs, shoot out an area of the glass railing, and jump off so they die. Then, grab the defibrillator, and revive them. Restart the level again, and repeat this until you get the 'Shock Jock' achievement.

In Dark Carnival: The Barns, find the Whack-A-Mole mini-game. Get a score of 42 to get the 'Stache Whacker' achievement.

In Dead Center: The Atrium Finale in Survival mode, kill any bots so they cannot revive the human survivor. Grab an adrenaline shot. Then, go up to the top of the stairs, shoot out an area of the glass railing, and have a human survivor fall off where the glass railing was so they are hanging onto the edge. Inject the adrenaline shot, and revive them. Have them fall off the edge again, and revive them again. Repeat this until you get 'The Quick And The Dead' achievement.

In The Parish: The Cemetery, when you reach the impound lot area with all the cars, just use a melee weapon to kill the Infected. The computer players will not set off an alarm. All the red cars have car alarms, so try to stay by the white cars. Once you make it past the area with all the cars without setting off an alarm, you will get the 'Violence In Silence' achievement once you make it to the safe house.

Note: All three other players must be bots for this trick to work. Before the alarm goes off, clear all explosive items and do not use incendiary ammo. Then, crouch in the corner near the exit to the plane so the Infected cannot get you from behind or either side. Once the alarm is sounded and the horde start attacking, throw a Molotov to block the entrance. After that, the computer players should stand in front of you and take the damage. Just stay in the same place the entire time, and you should get the 'Wing And A Prayer' achievement.

Successfully complete the indicated task to unlock the corresponding achievement. To view your achievements and stats in Steam, select 'Community', 'My profile', 'View all my games', then the game and view stats.

Hey everyone, there is a very popular mod out there out on the Steam Workshop that has been updated recently by the developer with malicious intent. With over one million people subscribed to it. (Granted 99% of these players are no longer active, but it just shows you how popular the mod is)

As you can see in this video I made here, several item menus are missing when I turn on the Helms Deep mod. As well as mutations no longer being allowed to be played as well as removing a significant chunk of them. Menus such as single player and the blog post have been removed, which makes no sense for a map mod. At all.

The modder, SeriouS_Samurai has been doing malicious changes that nobody ever asked for, nor are any of these changes stated in the change log. Instead, they're located here. It states that several mutations have been removed with no legitimate reason. It also states that it removes film grain, something I just learned today, Steam Group Server UI has been removed.

He also attempted a DMCA take down of a mod that Jaiz created that fixes the UI changes that the original developer made several months ago. I would not be surprised if he attempted to try and take down my video. You can find this here.
