Thread: New idea for campaign

Hey guys,

Ive seen a few people say they are bored with playing the same 4 survivors all the time and that they wanted to see new people come into the game. Well, since having 4 survivors is the perfect number, how about this. If you die, you don't spawn back in a closet or anything like that, the other survivors have to find a "new" survivor. This could be someone who is in danger or someone who is stuck somewhere and after helping them out, the person who died becomes that new survivor.

What do you think? Also, someone else suggested that if you die, for example Bill dies, he comes back up as a zombie and you have to kill him. I think this would add a whole new level of fun to the game, especially if they are stronger than the normal infected.

Its already been said that the survivors are immune, so it kinda defeats the object if dead survivors come back as infected. Plus, what would the player respawn as? If their player model is already an infected, theres nothing left?

I personally think the respawn is fine as it is tbh.

Also, the whole 'die then come back as a brain muncher' idea is rather contradictory to what little story Left 4 Dead has, their all supposed to be immune so how can they become Infected?

You got the first part correct. That's how i imagined it anyways.

As for the second part, i agree that they are immune, but when they die, maybe the thing that makes them immune dies with them you know. The only thing that contradicts me though that sort of impedes this from working is that valve said it isn't an infection, it is a type of rabies so we're killing humans, not undead humans that came back to life. So unless the rabies brings you back to life it wouldn't work. Because in the game, you see dead bodies on the ground sometimes, so this could be others who are immune but didn't turn.

A new survivor that they find in the game. Keep in mind this is for campaign so you could go raid a house for supplies and see someone barricaded in there. Just something random like that you know.
