It has been many years since the infection first hit. Radio silence, no sign of life, nothing but lingering hopes... CEDA is not going to save us. But there is hope! A few brave souls have continued the fight against all odds, and soon we can all benefit from their resilience.

"The Last Stand" is an update for Left 4 Dead 2, created by the community, for the community. Additional details will be coming soon.

I haven't played L4D2 in along time, I'm tired of zombie games.

Yeah... Too bad the L4D community hasnt exactly aged that well.

Its just so hard to make an original zombie game by now. And it always has been, I mean... effectively we're still playing House of the Dead like back in the arcade no matter what. Even if they add survival elements or make it a pseudo minecraft... you still gotta smack em in the face.

Anything else you do with zombies quickly gets pretty weird.

There is something very satisfying about dunking the juice on you and snapping a zombies neck in Dying Light.

I still fire L4D and L4D2 up every so often when I just want to run around and kill sh!t. LOL

Ran the new map, ending is just recycled from other game modes. I do love smacking things with a shovel.

Any good? The recycling sounds pretty disappointing though

As do I, even got my eldest (13) into playing it with me, usually only a chapter at a time so maybe a quick 40 min hack and slash fest every now and then, but nonetheless it's pretty enthralling when we're both in the mood.

It's a two chapter run, pretty short but it's got it's good moments.

The Vulkan API for Left 4 Dead 2? Why? It ran at over 120 FPS on my 980Ti , 4k DSR resolution, maxed AA and 5820k!

Yeah well you imply everyone has your hardware.

I'd hope everyone would have better than a 980ti by now...

Grandson and I are going to jump in this later this evening and do some zombie killing.

Been at least a couple of months since I've played, so should be a hoot. Grandson loves jumping in and killing shit. :laugh:

.................Before anyone gives me crap about the grandson, he is 15.

I know, I'm old............hahahaha
