Besides this, I have played l4d2 mods that give you upgrades as the game progresses. Named xpmod or something like that.

The idea is that shit spawns at random to block paths, so when you play you are searching for a path, any path, just a way to gtfo. Not just an either or situation. Like a much more complex layout of the graveyard in the parish on a full level scale.

ya, have a city, and while loading block random pathways to force survivors to not rely on using routes which were successful in previous sessions on that map. And only do this per session (NOT everytime the survivors die and respawn, but at the initial map load)

The maps should have various cost/benefit routes. Do you go into buildings in search of a quicker path or stay in open streets. Is that a dead end or will you get somewhere. Perhaps shorter routes have less throwables and health items, longer routes have more items, ammo. Perhaps a real route around a witch or other SI death traps.

There are actually places like that in even the first game. We just don't normally recognize them as such.

But it became apparent in No Mercy on the first map. How many people run inside now after exiting the alley to check the health cabinet? Nobody I know of. It's too dangerous with spitters and chargers. So now everyone runs the streets. And alternately from THAT you can go the long way around the backside if you want.

But I like the random blocks idea. Where there might be four routes through a map and three of them are randomly blocked off.

Minecrack blended with L4D2.... Thats what I need....

Actually went the back way in vs the other day, with the combo of a witch right of the alarm car it just seemed safer.

Pitfall + Zombies = L4D3

haha

How about setting? They've done city, farm, amusement park, bayou, suburb/lake (to an extent)... Im thinking something like casino (New Vegas ripoff) or govt testing facility (Umbrella Corporation ripoff).
