Download Silent Fear for Left 4 Dead

Nicolius Posted 3 weeks ago

Pros:

+Finding glyphs is fun.
+The map's size is perfect: not too big, and it's easy to remember where most things are especially if you memorize the four main street names.
+The random roar freaked my friends and I out several times, and the crazy sh** we found that blew our minds was amazing.
+Perfect atmosphere.

Cons:

-On one occasion, my group could not find the final glyph. We checked where we'd seen it before, nothing. Eventually I committed suicide so I could fly around the map, and I did, for ten minutes, and I saw nothing, even checking where the Glyphs had been before. Maybe we fail, but I *did* see some neat stuff when I checked for hidden rooms.
-Bots are almost unusable. Acceptable though, because I never play alone or without all four characters player'd.
-I saw a Hunter just sit in the corner of a building for the whole game. I didn't shoot him, he never saw us. Not sure why, and I wasn't demoing at the time. :/
-Why can't I open the door to the trippy rooms? :(
-Boss is hard as hell, and I fully support adding a safe room to the next level so we don't have to start all the way over.

Conclusion:

This is ALREADY fantastic and my favorite custom map, and with some fixes and tweaks it could be the BEST map. Original and creative use of the Source engine. Will get 100 when I see the boss as his own level and I can get into the sideways/trippy rooms.

Pros:

I absolutely LOVE THIS MAP! From the crazy tentacles to the witches going crazy in the basement area LOL I continue to play this every chance I get and it never gets old.
Boss is very well made up and gives people a chance to make battle tactics on how to go about killing it.

Cons:

Can't really think of any... despite the giggle I got out of the credits on the wall... I think you should make a real ending.

Conclusion:

PERFECT game and will continue playing it for a VERY long time. :D

Pros:

Finding glyphs isn't a boring work since they location are random
Very challanging boss
Not a very big map to download
yyou can take frights while playing

Cons:

I guess if the witch kills you and she runs away, you can't find her glyph because this happened once to me and we couldn't find the final glyph

Conclusion:

Great map. Worth downloading and playing

Pros:

the mapmaking is phenomenal, takes full advantage of the source engine
better visibility than the silent hill campaign
many awesomely mind-bending effects

Cons:

game crashed, dunno why but it only seems to be for this map.
can be confusing sometimes, see the glyph in a room, get distracted by witch, room is now barricaded

Conclusion:

Very well done, map is credit to silent hill series

Pros:

Just perfect, its a great map for Silent Hill lovers and it has a great back story for Left 4 Dead!

Cons:

There's really no Cons needed for this map but my friend FOUND did find a exploit, when you go into the warehouse and work your way to the ally, go up the ladder, and you can jump from the ladder to the truck on the other side, then you can work your way on the warehouse roof and then work your way outside the map (once you jump off the building you cant go back)

Conclusion:

Like I said before this map is just perfect, and this is something you have to play with your friends, unless you like getting freaked out... I can see big stuff for this map and I know it will get better and better! Good luck with this map and most of the other ones you have hidden up your sleave!

Pros:

Glyph Scenario
Boss fight!
Atmosphere
Exploration

Cons:

Minor bugs
Bots can't really fight the final boss
Impossible to record a working demo

Conclusion:

The atmosphere in this map is just terrific. I like how you made glyphs appear in only one spot or the other, and how the map itself changes as well. The boss fight is cool, but the bots don't know how to engage the boss. Unless you have friends you are on your own once the laser attack starts.

Minor Bugs: Sometimes when a player joins their weapon is invisible in first person, it seems to come back if they are incapped though. If a player finds a glyph, then anyone who is dead will be stuck looking at the cutscene. Only way around this is to rejoin the game. In the safehouse you mention how you'd like to see video of this on youtube. I'd make some, but whenever I record a demo on this map it crashes Left 4 Dead when I try to load it! Please fix this.

Awesome map, can't wait for more from you.

Boss strategy: Have 2 people go in with autoshotguns while 2 people stand on the board and cover them with a Hunting Rifle/M16. While standing on the entrance board the laser will not hit you, just watch out for smokers. When the laser starts make sure you take out the last spike while the eye is looking toward the entrance to the arena. Now the 2 people with the Hunting Rifle/M16 can unload on it without having to deal with the zombies and the autoshotgun users can focus on protecting themselves instead of trying to fight the boss. If you are quick enough the boss will die in a huge explosion before he can do his laser again. If the laser starts again and the eye is directly looking at you, run back because it can hit you on the board as it sweeps downward. If the autoshotgun users accidentally get killed by the laser, just go back to the garages and they will respawn. ;)

Pros:

Nice change up from the normal left 4 dead play style
the was pretty intresting didn't see that coming
map is very creative using what seems like pretty normal locations, but puts an intresting twist on them. the map is large and doesn't feel like a bunch of well decorated hallways.

Cons:

very tough to beat alone the bots get lost alot.

Conclusion:

large fun map intresting game play changes bring friends. I am hoping to see this get ported over to L4D2 once valve gives us the tools.

Pros:

Awesome atmosphere; excellent attention to detail; changing elements add highly to replay value. A near-perfect multiplayer map.

Cons:

Final boss fight drags on for a bit; difficult to find group if separated; fairly unplayable with bots.

Conclusion:

Totally worth playing - just don't play alone.

Pros:

The maps i amazing. The best part is that many things that happens is randomly placed. For example the glyphs don't appear on the same places. And there's is randomly different things you experience during this map.

Cons:

the only bad thing i found when i was fighting the last boss and all my friends died and a smoker came by and constricted me like the other annoyers wasn't bad enough.

Conclusion:

Just a fantastic map that have much new content and many things to replay the map for and in some part kind of creepy.
