Hey managed to play infected as Boomer, Tank, Smoker, and Hunter! Its freaking awesome.

Also I figured out a way to get more than four people to play. We had six playing all at once, it was tight.

How to try Infected in the Demo
Taken from Scuzball in the Steam Forums, Thanks Scuzball!

This works for single and multiplayer as of now, and is of course an incomplete feature, so don’t even think about bugs or balance! This is purely for fun and curiosity!

There are scraps of Versus mode inside the demo. If this post is somehow against the rules, delete it at your leisure.

1. From the starting screen, click Options, then Mouse/Keyboard, and enable the developer console.

2. Start a single player game and open your console with the ~ key.

3. Type “sv_cheats 1″ This will enable cheat mode.

4. Type “ent_fire !self setteam 3″ to join the Infected team

You get to choose where to spawn as a baddie, but the AI controlled survivors will not leave their starting room and the game will not start on its own.

5. Type “director_force_versus_start 1″ in your console to begin the round.

The survivors will start hacking their way through the apartment building and you finally get to try your zombie character!

6. When you die (and you probably will), you will not respawn. Press space to cycle through different spectating modes till you are in in free flight mode. You must then use these commands in the console.

z_spawn tank
z_spawn boomer
z_spawn smoker
z_spawn hunter

These will spawn you as that infected at the spot you are currently “flying” as a spectator. (If you use these commands while you are alive, it will spawn a computer-controlled boss of that type where you are aiming. z_add will spawn a regular infected. z_spawn witch also works, but she is always computer controlled)

In Multiplayer, this will only work if you are the lobby leader and you choose to host the game locally; it will NOT work on other people’s dedicated servers!

Many people including me have been unable to get the AI survivors to leave the safe room in the subways. Unless someone gets a work around, this only works on the apartment level.


http://www.clutchkills.com/tips/left-4-dead-strategy-guide-and-tweaks/

Then to get more people to become survivors. Have a team of four humans, move three to infected then have them move back to survivors, rescue them and bam you have 4+3 = 7 survivors.

Yeah you can play that online and its exactly what steam uses have.

Its really simple

just enable cheats, switch to infected and then chose the one you want to spawn as.

I got the stand-alone installer for the demo from a torrent site and every time I try to play it says "Steam validation Rejected". Have I put it in the right folder? All my other steam games like CSS and HL2 are in this folder: (E:\Games\HL2\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\oli_ramsay)

I can only currently play single player, and I can't load the game via Steam because it's not showing up in my games list. :confused:

Its supposed to go into steamapps/common/left 4 dead demo

Also enable cheats in console sv_cheats 1 and type

ms_force_search_fail_dedicated_server 1

that way you won't play on dedicated servers and it might work for ya.

Cheers, trying that now. Do you launch yours via steam or just from the folder itself?

EDIT, just chanegd folder path and the dedicated server thing and still no luck :( Guess I'll just have to kick some zombie ass in single player.

Also found this sort of easter egg which I thought was amusing:



No points for guessing what it's really advertising :D

Brillant game so far, Demo is good, looking forward to the full game.

But random crashes and not connecting to servers is annoying.

Also aimed at the UK/ European players have you suffered from bad ping etc, on some servers?

I think they might release new maps for the Demo.

If you look in this folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead demo\left4dead\missions it lists a few other maps as in each of those text files including the ones you already have.

This game is sooo good. I've been playing so much lately and I can't get enough of it. I refuse to play on any setting less than advanced and after playing all weekend advanced feels too easy. IMO Expert is really the only setting worth playing.

I simply cant get enough of this game... I've even started trying to play with max film grain and no flashlight.

Did you make it through? How many tries did it take?


I hosted a game the other night and enabled the cheats so we could spawn more infected/bosses. we play for about an hour on the first map and decided to move on to the subway. I had god mode enabled for a bit and decided to really mess someone up.

As three of us were in the safe room one stranded player was in the next room killing the last infected..... here's the fun part. I disabled god mode and spawned 4 tanks in the room with him, closed the door, and we all laughed uncontrollably. :roll:
