It is planned that in a later level, the survivors will signal a passing cargo plane which will drop a crate of weapons, but there will be very few ammo stocks compared to most other campaigns.
In the second level, the survivors will signal a cargo plane and recieve an airdropped weapon crate.
 
The finale will also differ from most other campaigns; instead of waiting for a rescue vehicle or gathering up fuel the survivors will have stumbled upon ground zero of the outbreak, and will undertake the task of destroying the infection at it's source.

Overview

Late Britain is a campaign by Spoon God, which brings a British environment into Left 4 Dead 2.

Unlike the American cultures experienced in Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2, England has very strict gun laws, and as of such barely any are owned by civillians. As of such, the first part will be played with 'Tier 0' weapons - melee weapons and pistols. In the second level, the survivors will signal a cargo plane and recieve an airdropped weapon crate.

Features

  • Campaign set in Great Britain
  • 'Tier 0' weapons at start

History

The campaign was started in late October, 2011.

One minor aesthetic issue is that VALVe's vehicle models have the steering wheel on the left-hand side, whereas British vehicles' steering wheels are located on the right. If anyone can simply flip the models (any way will do) and re-export them, it would be much appreciated.

Team

The campaign was started by Spoon God as a solo project, however, any offers to help will be considered.

External links

Categorization (Remove this header before creating the article.)

Using the ModStatus template at the top of the page to specify what engine (and even game) the mod is for, whether the mod is single-player or multiplayer, and in what stage of the development process it is currently in, should have already categorized the mod into the appropriate categories.

There are, however, two additional tags that (if needed) you have to provide manually: [[Category:Help Wanted]] and [[Category:Open Source Mods]]. Insert them at the bottom of the page.
