Guide to L4D's Music

[Ric4526]

What's the song from the beging

[vinio2323]

This is great! Helped a lot online in vs. You just need to make a l4d2 music cue one now :)

[darththork99]

Thanks. That music that warns of a mob is called Germ, they really used to creep me out until now.

[skellington15]

And now I know, and knowing is half the battle!

*saferoom music plays*

[ColonelConnor]

You should do this L4D2 but anyways good vid

[callofduty4fan]

or you can turn on subtitles and it tells you "smoker growl" or "tank attack"

[seiriousgamer50]

yea on xbox live i love to tell my friends wut ifected justed spawned. i never get killed when i do this. its really easy to practice each sound or foot step.

[UncleTip]

I only noticed the spawning sounds in left 4 dead 2. Especially for the jockey. "Tun tun tun tun TUN tun tun tun!"

[DirtyBird760]

I never knew the music gave clues to whats spawning.. cool

[twilight0957]

i had sex to this music. i recorded it all and looped it together. especially the piano music of the boomer smoker and hunter.

[TimmahUK]

Or just play the game and learn it that way most of us did.

[NightmareDuckie]

2:59 when Bill says "Reloading!" it sounds like "Bologna!" :D

[RaveSnoreThrong]

ah ha! lol.

[rens0wntnoob]

more like beloning....

[piekid8]

1:19 called a horde not a mob -.-

3:43 (mid hunter jump) AHH FLAMIN EMO!

[spr1ngtime]

actually, the horde is referenced in the console as 'mob'

[piekid8]

already knew em all but i got bored and watched this xD

[wayrandomtv]

you know when a tank is very close when you listen closely and hear hard breathing then once you find him which would be right away he tries to demolish you.

[sagesaria]

I pretty much figured out most of these cues right away, then again music is always the first thing I notice in a game XD

There are a few other hoarde spawn tunes right? Like the one that played over the hunter spawn theme at 3:35?

[joseph3196]

maybe of the charger hits you will hear LINKIN PARK music

[jeakyguy]

I agree with it

[PoxHaunted]

hunter's spawn sound rocks, ive had i nightmare with this sound.....

[Skwart]

I get the obvious ones but I dont hear the smoker or the boomer ones, Ive only had the game for 3 days though

[folken53]

i never got toled this but i always knew it O_o, its pretty simple, but then again i am pro XD,

[Ultimateshadowzx]

thx this is helpful, i didn't know the part when a special zombie spawns

[pirkid01]

Honestly, even though a lot of this is obvious, great work. Beautiful video and I learned about the Special Infected ones, really upped my teamwork game.

I'm wondering what the Spitter's music will be, the Charger one is awesome already. :D

[Taterzz]

is the charger theme dueling banjos?

[kazooiemaniac05]

how would one know that, the charger is in l4d2 and it doesnt get released untill november

[Taterzz]

uh dude...go listen to dueling banjos while looking at the charger. it was a joke...

[andyfma]

why did you even make this video? its so simple to learn all of this on your own, if you cant in the first month or so...............GL later on..........

[andyfma]

i cant believe you made a video for this, ALL of this was obvious, after the first month/ 3 weeks of playing you should have it memorized on your own

[CosmicD]

believe you me if i say that alot of people will be oblivious to this. Not to act cocky or anything but it's just the truth. Especially when you see people in public games even being totally surprised by the tank every time.

[andyfma]

mhm

[CosmicD]

there is even a difference in those mob salutes that you hear. The trombone (middle hight melody) will spawn a middle sized mob, the high flute version of the melody spawns a small horde and the low french horn will spawn a massive one. Also there's a trumpet version witch spawns soemthing in between a large and an extra large

[san007r]

Sound is actually REALLY fucking important on l4d :D

c'mon just try playing with no sound, you'll see that you won't be ready for boomers, hunters, smokers, tanks... anything. Will be really difficult :P so yeah sound is really important here :)

[andyfma]

i know, i tried it once, its like playing blind

[CraftersFur]

i have this funny story anyway during my first time playing i was like what the f*** is that crying then my cuz explained that it was a witch so i turned off my flash i was so STUPID i ran right into her from behind i suck but now i play on expert

[MrLulzPwned]

Wow....I thought those sounds were just to add the creepiness of the game...Heh i usually ignored it! i didn't know it was THIS useful....I knew the mob thing but the SI no.....thanx alot :D

[andyfma]

you never....noticed...........?

[NinjaStorm09]

heh, interesting

[bbkmodder]

or you know you could just put on subtitles...

[ugtaris]

lol works like a charm

[TimeGuy877]

and all this time i thought the hunter's sound was the smoker's and vice versa.

thanks

[waster50001]

thats the funnying thing ppl dont listen to them and tank is hard to hear most ppl dont know when its around the corner its a like deep grilling sound but know one that i played with knows it

[thikKl0udz]

i just caught on to this a couple weeks after playing

i would hear what sounds like a dog panting and im like oh is that the tank? sure enough get closer and here he comes with the music

but ya you can hear them before they initiate and the music starts, they sound like a panting dog imo

[wakingpoofer]

also, if you take a custom map and name it to say "l4d_hospital01_apartment.bsp" (making a backup of course) you will get the intro music and all the sound stingers working correctly

Need SDK Braaaiiins!

[wakingpoofer]

cool stuff, you should mention that the zombie choir usually means that default zombies are spawning. also touch on the individual songs for special infected. they all 3 have their own

[XRAAM123]

the only ones i picked up on was the noise the zombies made and the witch music lol

[wdcfrankie]

thanks!

[svphink]

The only one i ever picked up on was the pre-swarmed by zombies one. Otherwise i'd usualy just listen for coughing Burping and such, or a growling noise. Thanks though this was great and pretty well done :)

[Calweem]

Oooh I didn't know about the little piano clips. Good video, the music sounds really eerie when there isn't in-game ambience etc. playing! =P

[Obiwankenobi9098]

i got 1 comment on this, you stated that the small piano plays indicated that a special infected already spawned, however, in versus mode it just means that that special infected entered spawn mode, not that it already spawned.

i knew al of this stuff already, but nice vid for those who didn't know ,so they can get better =P

[strangemodul3]

Hehe, well, most the time when I play versus, I hear all 3 infected spawn at once, so that's where it comes from. :p

[RagePhone]

Actually a stringed version of the small piano clips plays when an infected enters spawn mode.

[TonoTako3]

Excelent video i always hear the hunter and boomer spawns

[elgroxo]

thanks

[polini5000]

I didnt know bout the special infected spawn cues.Cool vid!

[JoonasD6]

Ques -> Cues

Otherwise, thank you for clearing these things. :-)

[strangemodul3]

I fail at spelling. D:

[JoonasD6]

Oh, it's otherwise very nicely written.

Thanks for the good analysis.

[halflife230]

Good video.
