I love L4D "BUT" it would have been more challenging if a player could actually get infected. I don't mean from one single encounter(THAT WOULD BE TO CHALLENGING) but multiple attacks from the infected and the only way to stop the infection would be to get to the safe-house.What are your thoughts..???

Although that would be cool, I think that might complicate things a little too much. DLC maybe?

lol.. I'm pretty sure that they thought about that, but just as you've said, it would seriously complicate things "UNLESS" your'e playing with a jerk....then you would have a legitimate reason to blast him or her!!!!:P

That would be hard, but I could see it being cool. Maybe a new game mode where the survivors have to avoid getting infected, and if they do, they have to hurry to the safehouse before they turn Infected.

instead of dying your body could come alive(infected) but being able to control it would have no point as the person team wants to win not to kill there team mates and lose

well that kind of beats the purpose of the game. The survivors are immune to the infection....so that means they cant be infected

i think they should have a survivor mode

Where They Should defend a point from Wave after wave of zombies

That would Be awesome

And the survivors getting infected sounds like A good idea but it would be Challenging

Or atleast if you got infected you could see everthing your charcter was doing, but could not controll them. You would just watch yourself hunt your teammates and kill them and do anything to stop it.

Yeah...that would be cool. It would minimize some players urge to run-off by themselve becuase the risk of getting infected is alot higher when your alone.

fail. Left 4 Dead is a fantastic co-op first person shooter with great atmosphere and character and a lot of room for further expansion. TC, your idea is good but i can imagine the added difficulty being insane.

I actually like that idea. I would also like the infected to have the opportunity to knock off medpacks from the survivors' backs. More melee weapons like baseball bats, machetes, and fire axes. MORE MAPS!

It can be, or you can play through the campaign with people, too. That's what I've been doing mainly.

Same here. I find it so much more enjoyable. Easy to sit back and relax with friends. After playing competitive multiplayer games a nice relaxing co-op game feels amazing.

The survivors are immune maybe, that could explain why they never turn.

If you read the writings on the wall you'll see that it is mentioned several times that the people who are trying to survive are immuned to the infection

Ok...I stand corrected...I just saw it for myself after a play-though....but come on dude, I just thought that it was a good idea that would add some challenging elements to the game. Instead of people running recklessly though the game shooting everything, they are forced to be more strategic.

i almost think it would be too hard. Think about it. you have 1 (or more) less person on your side, and one extra (more intelligent than AI) special infected zombie. You almost would rarely ever win. especially on harder difficulties...

That actualy was supposed to be in the gam. When I first started reading about L4D You were supposed to be able to get infected.When I started playing the game this was not the cas and I still am wondering why they decided to remove this from the game! Even without this feature I still think L4D is awsome.

You misunderstand him. He's missing the actual game because he can't afford it.
