Left4Dead Survival Mode Details Emerge
Uhhh, That's a Lot of Tanks
by Raccoonacorn
In a recent blog, the L4D development team has shed a little more light on their difficulty balancing for the game's upcoming Survival Mode.
In the graph pictured above, you can see the currently planned difficulty curve. Just check out that 14 minute mark - looks like survivors could be seeing a new tank spanning every 11 seconds (gah!!!). From the looks of things, the mayhem could outpace even the chaotic crescendos at the end of each campaign.
I know I've nearly lost my voice screaming bloody murder during those moments, I can't even imagine what will be coming out of my mouth in Survival Mode. Probably vomit.
The team also makes note that there will be tables of infinite ammo (that was pretty much a given) and plentiful supplies of pipe bombs, health kits and pills scatterred throughout the level. However, with the sheer amount of undead clogging the lanes, a lot of stratagey is going to be neccessary just to reach each oasis alive.
Sounds like Survival Mode is shaping up to be a ridiculously intense experience.
How pumped does this make you for the DLC?

I can't handle one tank. One every eleven seconds makes me terrified.
Well well well...it's about time. Too bad i'll be under for surgery when this is released. It will put me a few days behind the rush of everyone else getting good at this :P I just can't wait though. I'll probably be online a lot after Tuesday seeing as how my surgery is Monday. Got 2 weeks off school. Hope to see you all online! Remember...Aim for the head! GT: Runaka
This is going to be BATSHIT CRAZY.
Good thing I'm a panic shooter with a tendency for friendly fire.
i'm actually rarin' to go about this. I'm getting a new computer and super ready to rip shit up.
"Tanks for nothing". HA! This is insane, now all we need is a map that takes us through a mall.
"BOOM! HEAD SHOT!"
So, at 15 minutes it just rains zombies on us?
It sounds pretty BONER-rific!!! It sounds like it could be a little difficult, but verry fun with some friend's help.
holy shit
this is going to be so hard and so good.
