Realism Is Death

Few days ago, i had downloaded a full version of Left 4 Dead 2 which includes the latest patch, the newest campaign "The Passing", new weapons and free online gameplay from YouTube. It took me about two days to finish all those tasks, but it was definitely a worth attempt since im no longer being an emo in the game along with three AI players.

This afternoon I had tried the realism mode in "The Passing" which designed for the players to experience a more challenging game without actually increased the difficulty. At the beginning, i was solo until another three random players joined me, named; Marcus, Rex and Omega something like that.

We had a good cooperative until the second chapter, "The Underground", where each and everyone of us ascended into heaven one by one. First was Marcus, we accidentally left him behind without any notices, he was caught by smoker and eventually got killed before we came to rescue him.

So, the remaining three of us continue our journey as Marcus acted as our spy to warn us if there's a special infected around the area or when someone is in trouble. Once we were about to enter the sewer, Rex accidentally startled the witch who killed him with one slap, leaving only Omega and I. We had to thanks to him for opening the road for us as the witch was blocking the way, and it was very narrow.

We were just 10% away before we get to the safe house. Unfortunately, the alarm killed the both of us as the horde kept respawn that we unable to move an inch. I was incapacitated by spitter goo while he was caught by smoker. Obviously, we lost, lol.

In realism mode, your best friends are magnum pistol and melee weapons. These weapons could kill a single zombie with one good shot. After a numerous times of gameplay with different people around world-wide, my favourite weapons somehow had changed. For ranged weapon, i initially fond of machine gun, but now i prefer shotgun, Uzi and AK 45. As for melee, i prefer baseball bat and katana, last time was frying pan, lol.

LOL! I had tried a numerous times of replaying the same map in realism, but always ended up the same old fate, couldnt pass the second chapter.

Dark Carnival is the longest campaign compared with the other 5. So, it's quite hard to survive without dying. You biggest nightmare in realism are smoker, jokey and charger. Since they have the ability to drag you far away from your teammates, lol.

I remembered playing Realism with Lee Cheng once very exciting. Both of us the health was low like hell! Worst the Tank have to appear that timing where we have to cross the Roller Coaster railway. Lastly at the saferoom door, both of us with the other two guys went in time as the Tank just right behind me. LoL!

LC and me shouting excitingly while reaching the saferoom. WOOT! One of my best memories from L4D2 event! Haha!

LOL! Lee Cheng told me that before. Anyway, I find it much easier to complete the realism game with at least one AI player.
