@jovangamered
A) It's been years since I last updated this collection and
B) Because there many many options that do similar things or are incompatible with others. I don't want to give the impression that these are all meant to be used together because they're not. Why let people download gigs of addons they don't need and then complain about it in the comments?

hey dingus wheres the subsribe to all button?

That's pretty much how I organised this anyway @Sad Linus. Just pick what works for you.

BTW, I have no idea what to choose in this collection because I've never tried L4D2 Beta and Seen L4D2 beta, I will just try to download some mods that will kinda look like it.

L4D1 Font? I'm not sure if L4D2 E3 had L4D1 Font.. well its really optional if you wanna add it in you're collection.

If I've missed any more, let me know.

No problem @Gyroic, I'm just glad that you could help in making this and my L4D1 collection more complete as you provided fantastic mods that enhanced the Beta feel of the two games! Thank YOU for that!

@TheDAV0S @iZEK

welp... I want to thank you for those compliments from a couple of months ago, I appreciated it.

The only reason I bring this up is because someone else today made a L4D2 beta background mod than well... it's way better than my attempt. and I thought I'd let ya know so you two can update your collections.

one more thing
when I was sayin about fest on a street (scroll comments below) in The Parish campaign, I mean this

see at 1:14
french quarter, festival, same was in c5m4_quarters

I guess it does count as beta iZEK, thanks!

@Davos
I dunno was it whether beta content or scrapped pre order bonus for australian gamers, but at some point of development it was in the game.

Didgeridoo

check the workshop right now !

@iZEK
Yeah I think that would conflict with a lot of other mods if it would work. It might be a great mod in a massive overhaul multi-part mod like the two beta part mods, but it might not work as an inividual mod. Cool idea though! The Left4Dead 2 workshop is getting so many innovative mods that change the game drastically or just amazingly.

================off-topic comment================

Y'know I dream about an RNG script-mod wich determinate what hud to use depending on what campaign you play.

I mean for L4D1 campaigns (map c8/c9/c10/c11/c12/c7) use L4D1 hud
and for L4D2 campaigns (map c1//c6/c2/c3/c4/c5) use L4D2 hud

same for weapons, for ex. pistols, for L4D1 campaigns use L4D1 pistols
for L4D2 campaigns use L4D2 pistols

same with gun sounds.

If it possible at all.

Even if it would work, would it conflict with custom mods?

yeah certainley I'm happy!
Thank Gyroic!!
Look forward to seeing your work!

And @Davos, would you include L4D1-list-styled main menu to your collection?

Ok, I may have ran into a problem... I think the beta loading screen was used similar to the ones used in the final game prior reaching the main menu screen (after the movie intro), those textures I'd tried to change months ago and for the life of me I can't get it to work for some reason.

@Davos thanks man, and thank you iZEK for mod ideas lol, if things workout correctly, I might get one of those mods done by tonight... fingers crossed

@Gyroic
I think you've made iZEK very happy with that comment lol. If you ever are able to get it done I will be happy to feature it in this collection.

"This collection will stay incomplete as long as someone wouldn't make Game's beta loading screen and Beta menu background"

I might give it a shot, and here's why

The beta menu background (from the snippit of the end of the video) looks to be a picture, I say that because that exact same picture is still in the game, and I already extracted it, so if I can find a way to turn pictures into bik file (as of right now I have no clue as to how I could) but it's still possible.

When it comes to the beta loading screen, I think the bootup pictures might be a good idea for loading screens in general, with that linked picture, I think it's possible that I can turn that into a loading screen texture. (but I can't be certain if I can do it or not, I would have to look at how the loading screen is filed.)

I can't make promises if they will be done, but I'll try.

"...until someone puts machinegun on military truck on the bridge..."

That's what i'm talking about

another one Charger melee pummel

oh yes. I forgot to tell, I noticed it hundred times, there was different charger behavior.
now he reimagine
you can see it in old reviews (IGN, gamespot, ect)
his melee attack (right mouse button) was pummel, see here at 8:20
and his charge attack (left mouse button) was just ramming throught close staying to each other group of survs, not grabbing and carrying first surv on his way, see here at 2:55

oh yes, another one - machinegun on top of the tower under the bridge before entering the trailer (where tower alarm sounds if you open door) in c5m2 level of The Parish.

maybe there supposed something happen, panic event or smthg, I dunno, it's my guess-work

Oh yes, another one detail, how can i miss it?
I noticed it pretty long ago.
I watched E3'09 Teaser almost hundred times and forgot to tell.
Dunno if it's right or wrong but judging of E3 teaser (which was made on betaL4D2) 4th level c5m4_quarters of The Parish campaign was different: there was kinda fest, peoples were celebrating something, streets was decorated in multicolor baloons, carnival masks, trash and things on the floor belonging to fest, and police fences.
If you stop video at a right time you can see sing in the distance, it says "Louisiana Fall Festival", and at foreground is says "CRA(?)FEST", CEDA leaflet upon it.

I believe its possible to do so, for example see Dark Carnival decorated mod

@iZEK:
Good catch! Unforunately I am not really a pro at really fixing the game files to make the UI change layout or in-game models to something different, that's something someone like Splinks or Theuaredead can do since they can do pretty much anything lol. I just make collections of what other people have made to fit a theme and I try to find as many mods as I can. Also don't really make mods myself, so I hope someone will be able to help you so I can finish this collection!

OH, and of course until someone puts machinegun on military truck on the bridge, you can see flying bullets on left side here (2:02)

and machinegun barrel as seen here at 1:37 at the upper left angle (it shown so quick you can barely see it)

Please, share this comment below, requestiong modmakers to create loading screen and menu background

This collection will stay incomplete as lons as someone wouldn't make Game's beta loading screen [pp.vk.me] and Beta menu background (as seen at the end of the video).
