DeadWorld is a massive cooperative expansion that includes multiple campaigns, social spaces, and new game types to update Valve Software's smash hit franchise.
The goal is to wrap a "living world" around L4D2. Set nine years after the events of Left 4 Dead 2, the game picks up as our survivors are now living in an established world where human strongholds stand their ground in a wasteland filled with monsters. From these strongholds, players travel out into the ruined world on a variety of missions and adventures.
How It Works:
Instead of launching individual campaigns through the Left 4 Dead 2 menu, players launch the DeadWorld mod and start in a social space where they can access any DeadWorld campaign. After a selected campaign is finished, players return to the social space where they can choose another campaign--or even replay the same one. They can resupply, go out on more missions, explore new spaces, and in the future they will be able to play new "Horde-Mode" game types that expand on the Survival game mode, all without ever leaving the game world.
TRAVELLING TO OTHER DESTINATIONS:
There are gateways in the social spaces with "Missions Available" signs near them. If all four players walk into an open alcove, the level will end and you will travel to a new location.
NOTE: You cannot play as L4D1 survivors as they are NPC's in the Wharf, and your character will get stuck. Sorry, no way to fix this. You have to play as L4D2 survivors.
VERSION 2 - March 01, 2019
The project currently includes:
2 Complete Co-op Campaigns First 2 maps of "Container Town" Campaign First map of "Natural Selection" Campaign 2 Social Space hub maps (Wharf and Bridge)
There are a total of 16 maps are in the project with more nearing release and many more planned.
While function and gameplay should be 100% finished, many of the maps have not been detailed yet. Final detailing is underway, but my primary focus right now is making sure the mechanics are 100% sorted out and creating more alpha campaigns so players have as much content as possible.
