Unrealizable project?

As far as I'm concerned, I think you're a bit out of your mind. You'll *never* be able to complete any of these objectives. First because it would take you years, it took us 16 months to complete a standard campaign without any of these fancy modifications of yours. Second, because of the way the game works and the things you are allowed and not allowed to do. Most of what you talked about can't be done at all. You'd have to modify the way the game work and that's just impossible since the source code will never be released. This is a bit tricky to explain, but this is a multiplayer game, you can't just freely change random parameters, the dedicated servers decide what can be changed, and it's almost *nothing*. Finally, the Left 4 Dead Authoring Tools don't provide any tools to do any of these things. Even the most basic things like the scripting can't be done. I think you need to get back to reality ;) --NykO18 09:14, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
