I'm creating a new level for L4D2! [Looking for Tips!]

[Bombraker (Midas)]

Hey people,

I'm currently in the pre-production phase of creating a new Left 4 Dead 2 level!

Do you have any cool ideas you would like to see in this level?! Well then! Speak up!

I want to incorperate cool ideas from the comunity to make this map special and unique!

What I can share so far:

The level is going to be based inside a secret - zombie filled - military rocket base. With an EPIC underground bunker!
Best part: The ending is going to be explosive! Because that is what you expect when you're walking into a military rocket base !

I read everything! :D

For a finale have a missile launch with a leaking large boomer bile tank attached so a horde will jump on to said rockets fins, cables etc ending in a midair explosion result spectacular!

[Bombraker (Midas)]

That would indeed be an epic sight! :O

Make it hard to beat! Need more difficult maps out there.

I think that is achievable by creating narrow corridors (chargers are the biggest enemies in those). And for smokers I'm thinking of heigh - pretty well covered - areas. Any tips on other locations where those enemies are at an advantage?

ledges, hazards like explodable rocket debris and fire are all great things to add

Good stuff malbolsette!

How about putting in this: If you cause a rocket to succumb to too much damage, it explodes and summons a horde?

How about stainless steel cod pieces. So my fruity team mates wont be able to touch my junk when i am in a horde.

IDEAS

Finale start-room should allow you to pick any tier 2 weapon with laser sight "like the gun shop in dead center".

Witches should be replaced with guard dogs "they stay asleep in one area, if woken up they will growl and attack while barking".

Optional crescendo events. There should be lasers that patrol the area, and if someone touches a laser, than a crescendo will start. The lasers could be both moving, and stationary.

Oh, and since it a military base, there should be one crescendo where you have to run across a field of bunkers. When it starts, you activate "wake up horns", and the bunkers will all open with zombies dressed as soldiers.

Make sure to tell us when the map is finished, as well as where we can download it.

Thanks :)
