I was playing Left 4 Dead 2 on Expert mode the other day with my usual epically awesome l4d players. We were playing the map Swamp Fever, this has to be the most annoying map in the entire world due to all the random dark corners that the enemies come running out from. The first level has probably one of the most cleverly designed *ok lets just take a breather here* moments as after a huge attack by zombies we or him or I depending on who survived boards a small ferry and usually begins to spam the action button in the direction of the control panel, usually leaving an incaped person screaming at him from the opposite shore there will be reassurances such as “don’t worry you’ll be alive in the hero closet!” after this there is just the simple task of reviving everyone and listening to them complain about not having their weapons before wasting time looting any nearby houses for said weapons and following the boards to the saferoom. The second level would be impossible due to the long trek through two different swamps, getting past a crashed aeroplane and running thorough another big swamp and down a road. The only silver lining is the vast amount of weapons, health packs and defibs you are likely to encounter along the way there’s even a broken water cooler on the way! You can also glitch over the plane rather than breaking the doors and causing yet another horde of zombies. The third level is where you will struggle the most to get past due to the how long the level is and *the activate the bridge* event. I have never survived this round due to the fact I’m always on gray screen ¾ of the way through and will likely randomly die from a random zombie I didn’t notice. My teamates usually make it to the saferoom though. The last level is a defend the mansion type finale; the hard part is to actually get to the mansion due to the town and courtyard you have to get through first. Once you get to the mansion there will be an infinite amount of time to prepare until you start the rescue. We came up with a guaranteed to win strategy involving stairs and running from the tank/s. while setting them on fire. Due to our epic plan we all made it to the boat but I then suffered a case of mistaken identity and was promptly team killed by accident while the person who was meant to be team killed was the only one who lived…. Two and a half hours wasted, I need a water cooler in my room goddammit
