[dustinsgma]

lamb burden boring movie & music

[bubbajello]

The higher grounds coffee house, way to the roof, Andy's gun store, and parking garage/ place where they set the bunch of zombies on fire/ badass exit vehicle? Where are these things? Also make the store you enter through a plumbing store, like the one they threw the toilet trough, and theres also a sports store, and a baby's store where the black man keeps his wife. You forgot alot of stuff.

[1048469]

please please tell me where u download this file, i gotta know

im sick of waiting for darth to publish this masterpiece

[alliancesuxftw]

Omg its john cash! not fukin bill :p

[bflippsytrance]

Awesome! I do love the DotD remake! (personally think it's better than the original) and can't wait to play this map! Very very nice work! Hope it's going to be part of a DotD campaign that follows the storylines locations!! And yeah, Bill sounds somewhat like Johnny Cash... :P I thought the impact that song gave to the intro of the actual movie was thrilling...

[MagusAsuki]

Nice Song!

It seems like Bill The one singing...

[cmstricker67]

ive never even heard of the crossroads mall coming out for l4d. if it were true how do i know u arnt lieing to me and y havnt i heard of this yet... i wil admit if this were true it would be amazing buti cant believe this new map until i see it

[TekFreak86]

common! they just presented you with a 8 minute walkthrough...you honestly think "they" (darth_brush and others iirc) would fool you to think there was such an amazing map and they would invest time in a thoroughly thought out concept if there wasn´t? there will be tweaks of course but they plan to release that amazing piece of work compatible to campaign mode! let´s wait and see...i´m optimistic ;)

[xfvkemosx]

yeah srsly dood your retarded

[jakeman52]

Lol retard

[hungryzombie90212]

You know he's not lying because this mod has been under work since 2007, before l4d even came out. Also he's been showing videos on the progress of the map throughout the wait.

[travieso419]

you just fuckin saw it retard

[fzdbz007]

is that Bill singing? lol

[1Morka1]

when is this coming out?

[kainvengence]

As for VS mode for this mod, nothing official has been told to me, but as I understand it, Darth_Brush is building this map for campaign release, tweaking it for VS (If VS doesn't ship with it) and going to create a set of Survival Sections of the map, built around the crescendo's of the campaign, keeping with VALVe's setup of Survival where "If the crescendo's were doomed to fail"

[kainvengence]

The house (Anna's) is a simple 2 room set piece in the movie, and you won't be going through the neighbourhood at all so we featured the park (partially seen from eagle eye views) with Darth_Brush's from scratch setting of how the park should be, to join the tunnel of the park that comes from behind the mall, and from her house through the park. The fact you dont recognize it is due to it never being seen in the film.

[devilhunterred]

I'm a big fan of the movie too, but there are so many parts at the beginning of the vid that I don't recognize at all. I don't actually recognize anything until the house.

[1f0und1]

cant wait to play this....on versus....INSANE!!! nice work

[djsubterrain]

A quick warning, versus won't be coming with the first release

[1f0und1]

yeah but in due time....campaign will let us learn the map and think...."man a smoker here would be epic" or "easily a 25 pounce from up there" so that when (if) vs is released, it will be insanely awesome lol

[antasaur]

he needs to put some cop cars/ambulances around the map

[ThomasDemko]

good work but y dus every1 put the same fucking shitty terrible song all the time!?

[gforce677]

Its the song in the movie

[devilhunterred]

this mod is based on the Dawn of the Dead remake, he's just trying to stay original by using the theme song form the movie

[kainvengence]

I'm blocking McPfoot for being a hater, noone likes a hater. Look for DBD in the coming months, best projection for release I can offer from insider info is at the latest late-end of summer. Likely mid-summer release however.

[John199312]

Nice map.  I know it'll be great for machinima and gameplay alike.

[NorseBrew]

awesome awesome awesome

[MrZora]

6:06

I noticed that one of the stores is called "Needful Things"

[k3rbst0mp]

when the hell is this map out ?

[Gameinggames]

july

[neooneeightytwo]

Very nicely done. I have been waiting for this release a long time. Can't wait to try it! =)

[Freechips1]

I hope he used a lot of areaportals :)

[Teejayflex]

i thought the spawn was in the house

[jamieleng]

It would be great to see some maps based on some of Romero's movies. The silo from Day of the Dead would be a fan favourite & relatively simple to make compared to this one I imagine.

[dragonboy91294]

looks well thought out, i'm going to have to buy the comp version just to get it

[zp654321]

the extraction at the end should be in the bus at the garage

[rabiitma]

can i get the link for the website to get the mod

[USGVip3r]

I'm very impressed with the outcome so far of Crossroads Mall. I can't wait to see the full finished map and I can't wait to play it. An estimate when the map will be released?

[sliskigt]

dark need to get more props inside the mall it's to stiff

[jasonm999]

Amazing work, the detail in the mall alone must have taken a lot of work, not to mention all the areas leading up to it.

[ufogate]

I love that you used the intro and song from the opening of the 2004 Dawn of the Dead remake. Fitting, and apocalyptic. Can't wait to see this map in action! Hope we can get it.

[Rodriquez124]

Looks great! Btw the song sounds like Bill is singing ;)

[ufogate]

That's actually Johnny Cash singing the song, and it's from the remake of Dawn of the Dead, on which the map is based. Pretty good observation though; maybe as an added treat the modders can add lyrics from the song as Bill's dialogue?

[kainvengence]

This won't be available for 360 without heavily modding your console.

[evowiz]

how do you mod your 360?

[McPfoot]

First for buying the 360.

Grab your 360 throw it out a 3 story window.

Then jump.

[tehfireperson]

I honestly don't understand the complete and utter hatred PC gamers feel for the 360.

Please, explain in detail.

[McPfoot]

360 players are annoying pre-pubescent teenagers, 360 is for cheap assholes. Most 360 players are idiots, They always think 360s are better then computers. There down right just stupid fucks

[tehfireperson]

Uhm, mass stereotypeing. You obviously have never played on the 360, and have only watched hate videos of it based on other's opinions, wich are mostly incorect.

"They always think 360s are better then computers."

Um, wat.

In nearly every gameing video I've seen, there has been atleast one comment with a PC gamer bashing the 360, wether it be necessary, or unnecessary.

The only reason 360 gamers would have to hate on the PC is because of all the constant hate directed towards them.

[tehfireperson]

(Character count ran out, sorry)

Nearly every PC gamer I have encountered so far has taken the game, and gameing in general, way to fucking seriously.

There was one guy who said "PC is the one and only true form of gameing".

... I had no idea that there was only one way to have a good time, and that's exactly what video games are for: To have some fucking fun.

When playing PC games, the other players ruin it. They don't take accidents or jokes lightly, and freak the fuck out if they lose.

[McPfoot]

Bullshit, It's because you play to much 360.

360s are shit. Okay? PC's are better you have to agree

[tehfireperson]

Uhm, what? Did you just discount everything I said, call it all bullshit without stateing as to how it IS bullshit, and blame it on me playing the 360?

I play both PC and 360, and PC isn't really all it's hyped up to be. Both 360 and PC have an equal amount of obnoxious players. There's more downloadable content on the PC, but unlike most people I actually have an easier time aiming and even moveing around in general with a 360 controler. Plus the PC graphics aren't too stunning.

[tehfireperson]

I'd say both have their strengthes and weakness, and both are equally fun to play on. It just pisses me off to see so many PC gamers go off and hate on the 360 for no reason whatsoever. Like you are right now.

[McPfoot]

Well your wrong, Clearly PC is alot better. keyboard mouse. No shitty controller, Better framerates and graphics, PCs don't just play games. You don't have to wait 5 years for a new version, PC's aren't cheap i'll give you that, But it's cheaper to upgrade a pc, Because you don't have to buy a whole new console.

Gimmie your xbox 360 strengthes

[tehfireperson]

Erm, I prefer the 360 controler over a mouse and keyboard, so controls are more of an opinion than an advantage.

My 360 actually has better framerate and graphics than my PC. Some PCs have absoloutely horrible graphics, frankly mine looks like I'm playing a Nintendo DS, and some of the TV's one could play the 360 on could be HD. Once again, it's not a deffinative advantage.

I agree with you about upgradeing the PC though.

(Continueing to a second post, character count)

[tehfireperson]

I simply have an easier time manuevering with a 360 controller. Really, wich is better is all an opinion, but that doesn't mean you should bash people for their opinions and their method of haveing a good time!

You enjoy playing on the PC, that's great, but that doesn't mean that playing the 360 is some sort of disease like you treat it as.

I'm simply saying that just because YOU don't like the 360, doesn't mean everyone else shouldn't!

(God damn character count!)

[tehfireperson]

But I still don't understand why PC gamers find the need to constantly flame the 360!

Sure, the annoying little kids are replaced with egotistical fucks who think that they're LITTERALLY inside the game, and take it too seriously... doo-wop, same shit except a diffrence in the pitch of voice.

Oh, and the upgradeing thing. But that's really it, I still don't understand where you guys get your sense of extreme superiority from.

[McPfoot]

Your stereotypeing me AGAIN. I'm not a fucking extremist gamer, I hate those kind of people. But consoles are a poor mans gaming machines.

[tehfireperson]

"First for buying the 360.

Grab your 360 throw it out a 3 story window.

Then jump. "

"I'm not a fucking extremist gamer"

.....

[McPfoot]

I'm not, I just fucking hate console gamers

[tehfireperson]

But you STILL haven't given me a reason as too WHY.

[McPfoot]

As too WHY what?

Because there stupid fucks, THEY THINK THAT THIS CUSTOM MAP IS GOING TO BE ON FUCKING CONSOLES THAT WHY YOU IDIOT

[tehfireperson]

That was one guy. You're going to use one guy to stereotype everyone who plays on consoles? Seriously?

[McPfoot]

Everyone I have seen or fucking meet that plays on consoles is like this

[tehfireperson]

"Sure, the annoying little kids are replaced with egotistical fucks who think that they're LITTERALLY inside the game, and take it too seriously.. doo-wop, same shit except a diffrence in the pitch of voice.

Oh, and the upgradeing thing. But that's really it, I still don't understand where you guys get your sense of extreme superiority from."

Everyone I have seen or fucking met that plays the PC is like this.

[tehfireperson]

Oh, and I'm not.

[McPfoot]

I'm done with you ignorant fuck

[tehfireperson]

I'm ignorant? I'm not the one blindly hateing 360 players. But cya.

[IRZOMBEH]

This is fucking hilarious. The guy your arguing with is a fucking dumbass. Just don't even waste your time on him. You play any valve games?

[IRZOMBEH]

Lol, your a dumbass. You hate console gamers for absolutely no reason. Maybe if you weren't a poor bastard who can't afford a console you wouldn't hate them. Jesus christ, I'm a hardcore PC gamer but even i disagree with what you're saying about consoles. You have no idea what you're talking about at all. Just go play your little counter-strike and halflife and stop being a little bitch about it.

[flufflesthepancake]

huh how could you afford a PC but not a console? that's silly :D

Also my view on consoles (because you brought it up) is that they are inferior because the lack of mods :)

[IRZOMBEH]

I do have a console. Never said i didn't. I also think pcs are better than consoles. It's no competition.

[maxsayo]

you cannot sorry. this is for the pc version

[evowiz]

Thanks maxsayo. Only for the last year have i been using the 360, I think PC gaming is way better, this map is another good example. Sick Map~!

[MrHowarz]

when is this download coming for the 360 or is it even going to the 360?

[DrStab]

You can only play official maps on the 360 version.

[lueshi4242]

do want

[lyssachan]

This map looks AMAZING.

[poornation]

If it's you that made the map, you kinda got carried away from the idea of the mall itself..

[kainvengence]

O.o did you miss the point of preview? it's a work in progress bud, map 4+ aren't going to be shown, and the campaign is based from the movie, which is largely centered around the mall. I have to question your ability to grasp the concept of this campaign or video.

[1DEDEN7]

how to download this campaing

[kainvengence]

song 1, Johnny Cash - When the man comes around, song 2, Staind - Outside.

"You gotta love how the front door is barricaded with care, yet the huge wall of windows sits untouched. :P

Perhaps they wanted to give the infected a good view of the ammo pile as a sort of bluff?

I'm sure the window casts a striking shadow in game. I wonder if it's breakable? "

Well, the windows are (if you watch the movie) Shatter Proof.

[gladius900]

Yeah, but those were George A. Romero zombies.

These are 28 Days Later zombies.

They could probably get through those dinky little windows.

[mybadass20]

the song is jonny cash just look up Jonny Cash: when the man come around

[freakinstoned]

You gotta love how the front door is barricaded with care, yet the huge wall of windows sits untouched. :P

Perhaps they wanted to give the infected a good view of the ammo pile as a sort of bluff?

I'm sure the window casts a striking shadow in game. I wonder if it's breakable?

[nitroxelerator]

Doesn't look too horrorish. Good still. I would love to play it!

[kainvengence]

Of course not, A) it's not finished, B) You haven't seen/played it with Infected turned on :P

[wudan0]

Whats the Name of that song?

2.

[sandbaby95]

whats it going to be out on pc or xbox? ( i am new to this l4dmod thing so i dont know)

[superdinoman]

Not coming to Xbox since the Xbox doesnt support mods.

[kainvengence]

Well, at present, you are correct, hopefully something can come to fruition to give xbox users the same amount of excitement we have as PC goers for this mod, and others to come.

[stickgore]

whens it out?

[wudan0]

the 2. music what a name ? :)

[vallu897]

This map is simply FUCKING AMAZING.

Bravo to everyone who helped make this map.

[kainvengence]

hahaha, I'd be honored on behalf of Darth_Brush if something was orchistrated to put his map up for X360 users to play, the AI works, the bots work, the nav's are flawless, the security guard is as far as I know at this point in, the maps will NOT be released before the SDK, none will be, the only ones that are are basic maps that have been ported and left as is.

[IRRULE]

lol yeah if you need a job i bet valve would hire you anytime. beautiful map... Is it possible to release it without the l4d SDK?? because I saw the safe room doors and the map look totally playable. Do they actually work? Is the security guard already put in? or do you have all of the ai disabled? will this be put on the 360 from the miracle of valve taking it and putting it up as DLC????? do they need your premission to do that??????????WHEN IS THIS COMING OUT I NEED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?

[rowanww]

Amazing work, as a long time z fan who has grasped at every zombie game to be released I love this merging of classics.

I forsee a great challenge in creating a sequential set of levels out of the mall however, and am a tad concerned about the poly count in those big open mall areas. Goodluck with tackling the finer points of this campaign fellas.

I'm also wondering if possible copyright infringements may hamper Valve officially embracing and redistributing this campaign in its current form?

[MrRabbit1]

Not only should Valve hire you, they should offer this as an official map selection from the campaign/VS menu in-game. Keep up the awesome work.

[ManlytearsUK]

He made this map years ago and slapped on a few l4d shit its not impressive gtfo.

[danpascooch]

Dude, what the hell is wrong with you? Why are you such an asshole, a SINGLE GUY made this, i'd like to see you make something one one-hundredth as good, its very very impressive for a single person, YOU should gtfo.

[ManlytearsUK]

and he begged for donations to get a new computer while making out it was holding the map back.

lol scamfag

[Gunde]

Yeah but he still made it right? That's impressive

[diuveniv8]

wow

[sherlock27]

wow. lots of improvements since 2 months before! Thanks a lot! keep up a good job!

[kainvengence]

My L4DMods name is Phoenix, that should kill two birds with a single stone. I recieved the maps from Darth_Brush and FRAPS recorded the footage used for the video, glad you liked it.

[MrRogersHasAGun]

How did you get this? And what's your L4DMods name?

[wudan0]

amazing
