Expert/Realism? Screw that, I want Nightmare mode.

[Deus.EXE]

Are you tired of all those ***** *** ******s whining and complaining about Expert? How about Expert Realism? Well, if you're like me and you can solo Hard Rain E/R with just a bottle of pills, then Nightmare mode is for you.

Gameplay changes-
Common Infected-
~Move at 200% speed.
~Attack 150% faster.
~Deal 200% more damage (Compared to Expert)
~Revive after 45 seconds (Though no more than 50 at any given time may be attacking the player)

Special Infected-
~Standard Special Infected have 5000hp each.
~Hunters can turn invisible.
~Boomers can fly.
~Smokers, when killed, fill the entire level with smoke for 5 minutes.
~Chargers are 400% faster when charging.
~Spitters can spit through walls.
~Jockeys can move through walls.
~Tanks cause the game to crash to the desktop. Possible Blue Screen of Death.
Alternate Idea- When throw rocks, where ever it hits, it breaks up into flames like a molotov.
~Witch, when disturbed, kills everyone playing on any Dedicated Server.
Alternate Idea- When disturbed, the Witch does her 1 hit kill, but continues to go from survivor to survivor. Seriously, don't piss her off.

Survivors-
~Must inject Adredaline into their system every 3 minutes or else they die. This is an original idea, do not steal.
~No HUD.
~If they attempt to heal a fellow survivor, they are instantly set on fire.

Items
~The only weapons available are the Hunting Rifle and the frying pan.
~Pills cause liver/kidney failure, and cause the Survivors to move at red health speed for 4 minutes.

Please, Valve, make my dream a reality, and make it so that ALL the achievements are only achievable through this mode.

Please, link your friends to this topic. Together, we can get this amazing and well thought out Game mode in our servers!

I also think that it should be a solo type deal. NO TEAMMATES!

Holy crap, you would get die in about 5 seconds.


I LOVE IT!
Just add constant storms like in hard rain, but the rain does 500% damage.

[0hYeah]

Challange a clan. Prior or Essential for example. You'll have nightmares for the rest of your life.

[rykialvh]

aside from obviously being totally full of it. I agree. This should be in the game.

[Simsmagic]

You forgot the part where the Spitter's acid is literally acid that burns your flesh off. And when she's killed, she explodes in a huge wave that has a 50 mile radius outward.

[Lucky_guess]

Believe it or not, almost all of this is possible with server mods. Except the witch and tank stuff. I will start planning for this one!

[Ltr.two]

agreed!

/HAWRZES

[SkateExtreme720]

Oooh I want to play!!! Actually I have some serious ideas for nightmare mode...

My Nightmare Mode:

Gameplay changes-
Common Infected-
-Able to hide behind cover when being shot at.
-Able to grapple with your weapon prompting a key mashing to get it to release.
-They bite you, you bleed, and must bandage yourself to stop bleeding.

Special Infected-
-Hunters only make noises while leaping, not while waiting to pounce.
-Smokers can drag you.
-Boomers can use the Smoker's tongue to swing down like a wrecking ball, effectively bulldozing the survivors and exploding on them at the same time.
~Smokers smoke cloud is flammable and shooting while inside it sets you on fire.
~Chargers can now smash through thin walls while carrying you.
~Spitters acid causes temporary paralysis and another survivor must drag you or help you move until it passes.
-Jockeys can make you fire your weapon at the other survivors.
~Tanks can now grab you and throw you like a rock, also hitting other survivors with you.
~The Witch is now twice as fast and kills instantly and now attacks everybody until she is killed.

Survivors-
-Crippling Injuries (legs severely damaged, lost too much blood) require another survivor to help you walk. You may only fire with your pistol and use thrown weapons while being assisted, but with your assistance your partner can reload twice as fast and you can inject them with adrenaline.

-Med Kits now only stop bleeding, pain pills or adrenaline are required to restore full movement speed.

-If you catch fire, another survivor must help put you out, or you must run into water, otherwise you will burn to death.

-No hud, but vision becomes impaired and movement speed slows to reflect how much blood you've lost/how close to death you are.

-Ammo in mags does not stack anymore. If you shoot 5 bullets from one magazine and then reload, that magazine, minus 3 bullets is reinserted into your inventory. Shoot 10 bullets from another, that one is reinserted, so every time you press reload you cycle between the magazines to get the one that has the most ammo in it. SWAT 4 does this.

Items

-Gun fire and explosions cause cumulative hearing problems.

-Pipe bombs throw shrapnel that will injure/kill any living being in range.

-You can overdose on pain pills and hallucinate, and eventually die.

-Defibrillator only works on survivors that die from overdosing and non-physically deforming deaths (can't defib someone who has had their guts ripped out by a hunter).

-The flash light's battery can run out, requiring you to raid drawers and cabinets for more.

[AKK9]

~Tanks cause the game to crash to the desktop. Possible Blue Screen of Death.

Loving this one. I find that their current ability (major stuttering) doesn't quite cut it.

Here's me mocking Skate for being "serious":
My Nightmare Mode:

Gameplay changes:
Common Infected
- Able to dodge any projectiles fired at them unless shot from behind.
- Able to weild your weapon and make multiple copies to pass onto other infected.
- They bite you, you bleed, the blood attracts sharks. You must bandage yourself up to stop bleeding.

Special Infected
- Hunters only make noises during rough intercourse, not while waiting to pounce.
- Smokers can swing you around with their tongue like a flail and attack other survivors.
- Boomers, being the acrobatic bunch that they are, can use multiple smokers' tongues to approach the survivors in a spiderman like manner, explode in mid air and land on them, effectively airstriking them at the same time.
- Smokers smoke cloud is extremely flammable and having the torch on while inside it causes you to instantly explode.
- Chargers can now smash through buildings while carrying you causing structures to weaken and instant death to anybody else inside a collapsing building.
- Spitters acid causes permanent paralysis which then allows other survivors to use you as a melee weapon or bait.
- Jockeys, on contact, can take complete control of your nervous system allowing them to force survivors to engage in intercourse with one another.
- Tanks can lift and throw incapitated survivors, who then explode on impact.
- The Witch now runs twice as fast as before instantly banning any players she comes into contact with.

Survivors
- Crippling injuries now require surgery before the players can continue. Substantial medical knowledge is required as well as the correct tools and a safe clean environment.

- Med Kits now only stop bleeding, pain pills stop pain and adrenaline only boosts adrenaline. Food, water and 5-a-day fruits are required to maintain each survivors health level, as well as regular stops at public toilets.

- If you catch fire, you must drop all weapons and and explosives, and attempt to 'stop, drop n roll' before approaching nearby water sources. Alternatively, other survivors can use their hands to carry water to you in attempt to put out the fire or even urinate on you.

- No HUD, but vision becomes impaired and indications such as, no character control or movement, or 3rd person view of character lying dead on the floor can indicate signs of injury or death.

- Ammo in mags does not stack anymore. Infact, it slowly depletes even when not in use thanks to previous encounters with the deadly spitter acid.

Items

- Gun fire and explosions cause loss of sight and hearing problems and well as cancer.

- Pipe bombs no longer explode, nor attract hordes. Instead, once activated, it gets up and throws shrapnel at all living beings within it's targeting range.

- Defibrillator only works on survivors without any physical deformations. Of course, a full anatomy, requiring all remaining survivors, must be carried out before any conclusion can be given.

- The flash lights battery can run out, requiring you to turn on the light switch.

[billthesmoker]

what are you guys talking about!? this would be so imbalanced and unfair! this would make the game no fun at ALL!

[DarkElfa]

Loving this one. I find that their current ability (major stuttering) doesn't quite cut it.

Dude, I laughed so ♥♥♥♥ing hard when I read that line.

[Killroyomega]

~Must inject Adredaline into their system every 3 minutes or else they die. This is an original idea, do not steal.


I have something to add:

~The needles give you AIDS, so you die JUST as you get to the saferoom.

[bAtER]

some needles are filled with heroin so you get incapped right where you take them.

[TheTaffster]

My Nightmare Mode simply would consist of a Rick Astley Special Infected that is invulnerable and just doing that stupid dance around you and your teammates while looping Never Gonna Give You Up

[oscar123123123]

~Boomers can fly.

and a new special infected that will spawn as soon as you pause the game and insta kill you


but actually one idea i wanted to see is out of controll fires from molotovs used in buildings. i would like you to be able to start an out of controll fire that has a chance of spreading to flamable props and eventually cut off your escape and slowly burn you to death. make us think twice before tossing one

[Petchyy]

Sounds like a mode for pussys.

[Deus.EXE]

Sounds like a mode for pussys.


Yea. A mode where people get ******! >:|

[Haldos]

Valve, listen to this man.

[Rkynick]

Suggestion: Make disturbing the witch kill people on local servers as well.

[Dr.Cereal]

Nightmare mode: If you play nightmare mode, you get insta steam banned.

[Deus.EXE]

I believe all common infected should be Francis. Instead of screams and growling, they should simply state how much they hate the player, over and over and over.

[fatal.end]

Instead of this mode, why not give us sliders to where we can change damage and speed and all of that stuff on our own?

[SuicideRUN]

There's a mode like that in Killing Floor, every wave of enemies are boss creatures. How would you like to play L4D2 with nothing but special infected? Smokers, Spitters, Boomers, Chargers, Hunters, Jockeys and Tanks non-stop. :)

[zarrten]

I think your "Nightmare mode" is way too underpowered. Noobs would be able to do it. :D

[Irishoak]

If you drink enough it becomes more difficult.

[pillbox]

Survivors-
If they attempt to heal a fellow survivor, they are instantly set on fire.

"Here ya go. I had no use for this anyhow, I ain't gonna get sho..."

*foosh*

+rep

[Ninja53595]

play expert/realism with bots.

[skysaw]

I endorse the vision of the OP. But I would like to suggest a slight improvement: In this mode, your framerate drops to 1 per second. (1.5 while on adrenaline). Of course with all the stuff going on, this might happen automatically, but code it in just to be sure.

[TF2Fan]

Totally endorse.

Will get Chet on the phone.

LOL!

This is the only good thing mentioned.. Should definitely be made into a mode :D

I'd love to see you go through Hard Rain E/R tho.. Make a video and don't say you don't know how or don't have the right program.. This would be insta kill for your credibility..

Do it and send the demo to me and I'll make a video of your awesomeness! :)

[blueplastic]

this is the best idea ever!
omg plizz valve put this in the game! :D
and i so lold about pills

[Rkynick]

Post a link to a video of you doing that and maybe then I'll believe you.

Hint: it's a satire(duh)

[Sick_of_This]

Flying Boomers should be in the game anyway and they should make the same noise as when they fall.

Just like this. All the time when they Fly. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlt7vvZH9Is)

[Kidofthecentury]

Hm, seems quite balanced, OP. To make it perfect, decrease Bot's AI. :D

[Deus.EXE]

Oh, also- no flashlight.
Turning the flashlight on causes the game to start strobe lighting your ♥♥♥ into a seizure.

Must be played with a usb gaming chair peripheral that causes you to die in real life upon losing. You are strapped into the chair and game cannot be paused or stopped.

~Boomers can fly.

[Mortaris1337]

What about health always drains?

also +rep for incredible idea.

[PixelSith64]

Just had an idea, what about instead of water on the ground in Hard Rain and stuff, it's Spitter acid/lava? Oh, and in reply to the rain does 500% damage, it also acts like Boomer puke and will constantly rain on you, making it hard to see and having hoards come constantly.

[carson]

NIGHTMARE MODE: You die in game, then YOU DIE IN REAL LIFE!

I couldn't imagine what OP's game would be like.

Like the films STAY ALIVE

[The Colour Blue]

Simply put, NO THANKYOU

[Deus.EXE]

I found my original idea for the mode.

Dec 7, 2008-
"K pal.
How about "Rectal Ranger" mode?

1 hit downs by normal infected.
1 kit kills from Special Infected.
Normal Infected Hordes spawn at a 2x rate.
Special Infected spawn at a 3x rate from Expert.
Any point a tank COULD spawn, a tank WILL spawn.
Tanks have 10x health from Expert.
Boomer Bile causes you to be blind for the rest of the level.
Boomer Biles also causes an endless stream of infected to come at you.
Boomers can Fly.
Hunters move at the speed of Sonic the Hedgehog.
Lickers can move through walls.
When you upset a Witch, everyone dies. INSTANTLY.
When you close the safe room doors, 3 tanks spawn inside with you.


Piece o' cake, mirite?"

I forgot the final Tank spawning with you inside the safe room bit. I still like it though >:D

[Deus.EXE]

Needs more input, and ideas.

[Radeon]

When you have molotov you must throw it in 3 seconds or else that cloth/rag will burn and you will be set on fire and be unable to control yourself. You will also set on fire everything in area around you. Countdown to throw starts when you light molotov. When you pick it it's unlit and you have to find a source of fire/firelighter/electric closet/car acumulator/etc. to set it on fire. If you change weapons after you set it on fire, timer still counts down. Also, you must find gas/patrol or else your firelighter will run out. You must fill it every 5 seconds of using, beacuse it's old and has small reserve. It can also fail to light and you must find new replacement parts (that little stone or wheel). You will light molotov in a minigame. You may also drop lighter by accident and it sets thing on fire. Also, fire does 20 damage per second to you and can be put out only using methods mentioned before (drop weapons, explosives, all you carry and run in water) if you run in water with defilibrator you die instantly and all fishes too. And aligators and hippos and PETA starts to follow you and attempt to assasinate you.

[EngineerLoz]

Special Infected-
~Boomers can fly.

[TimmySee]

If you play as Rochelle and use any dialog, your team mates will all be forced to FF on you until you are dead.

[Genexi2]

Should add in proximity-based voice chat to the list and disable typing

Nothing would be more fun than hearing your buddy sound quieter and quieter as a smoker drags him away while you're trying to keep alive against the super common-infected.

[DirectVic]

My Nightmare Mode, which I have dubbed Irish mode:

-Killing any Common Infected will delete files on your computer. Alternatively, being killed by a Common Infected (or several) will completely format your entire computer.
-Hunters now have "annoying parkour montage with crappy european music" attacks which take away 20 HP every second you are anywhere near them.
-Smokers can now give you lung cancer by smoking near you. STOP SECONDHAND SMOKING. The only way to stop the attacks is to travel to DC and lobby in front of the destroyed Capitol building to ban smoking.
-Spitters now have atomic spit, which is the size of a street, causes 10 HP damage every second you are in it and creates atomic explosions, which will level the entire city the campaign takes place in, thus causing you to start over from Dead Center. To prevent the atomic explosions, atomic spit must have at least one survivor in it at all times.
-If you are hit by a Boomer, you are banned from the server instantly. Being hit by a Boomer's bile will cause viruses and other malware to appear on your PC. Killing a Boomer and causing it's bile to hit other survivors will instantly ban your Steam account.
-Jockey's can now do karate. Nuff said.
-Chargers can now use the old sound effect (developer commentary FTW), making every Survivor in range laugh to death.
-The appearance of a Tank now causes your PC's memory to be overloaded, causing FPS ♥♥♥♥. If a Tank kills one Survivor, your PC crashes completely and cannot be started for 17 minutes.
-If you disturb a Witch, a screamer (No, not the old special infected) appears causing you to have a heart attack and die.
-Every Survivor is now Rick Astley.
-Medkits are replaced by Disney band-aid's. Using any will cause all Infected in the area to attack you.
-Pills are also replaced by children's medicine. Using any gives you brain tumors at the cost of instantly killing all Infected in the area.
-Using Adrenaline causes you to become a junkie. The rest of the game becomes something akin to those abysmal anti-drug freeware games.
-All guns are replaced by ripoff Super Soakers.
-Starting the game gives you a time limit of 5 minutes to win until Gabe Newell crashlands on your street, breaks into your home and kills you with a crowbar.
-The only way to win is to scare the Infected away by playing industrial music on your microphone.

[Lord_Slashstab]

♥♥♥♥ this, Common infected get auto shotties and specials get scars!

Yes. I support this 100%

[outsiderjc]

there should be a new achievement called "i p iss excellence". you can only get that achievement for completing the game on this Nightmare mode.

I think the Tank one already works, on rare occasion after quitting the game I get a Blue Screen of Death! They're implementing the ideas already!

OMG LAWL, I nearly pissed myself laughing whilest the mental image of coach wriggling towards the saferoom, no arms..no legs... but a chocolate bar in his mouth.

[Espio0]

how bout all survivors (except coach) wear a suit covered with pizza's, hotdogs, and other kinds of food, while coach is stalking them...

with a fork and knife

anyone who falls behind too far will get chomped

[Pencil Pusher]

New SI exclusive to Nightmare mode:

The Stalker

Abilities:
Can take out every Survivor in one hit with an unlimited range.
Has no way of being alerted
Has 9001x More health than the tank
Invisible
It can CRIT
When it is about to kill a Survivor, it removes all of their weapons, health, etc. Then removes their ability to type or use voice chat. Then it finally kills the Survivor.
Can kill people playing L4D1
Only way too kill it is to shut off the game and burn your computer.


Trying too hard?

[Deus.EXE]

Some of these ideas are great. You just gotta think within the confines of the game.

[SR69MMJC]

NIGHTMARE MODE: You die in game, then YOU DIE IN REAL LIFE!
And then the real world will be split into two groups: a group of people who survived this mode and.. well, a group of dead people :S

[hobo healy]

If you complete a chapter, "YOUR A HACKER" appears on the screen 9000 times and you and all your friends are VAC banned.

[RabidChipmunk]

All guns have one shot per magazine. And they all backfire.

~Boomers can fly.

This is the point where I said 'What the hell are you smoking?' And it just got worse from there. :p

If you complete a chapter, "YOU'RE A HACKER" appears on the screen 9001 times and you and all your friends/family members/anyone you ever came into contact with are VAC banned from life.

Now this post is much better

~Tanks cause the game to crash to the desktop. Possible Blue Screen of Death.
~Witch, when disturbed, kills everyone playing on any Dedicated Server.

ragequtting sends a VaLve van to your house so they can beat the crap out of you
That is justice, not nightmare.

[Problem.zip]

Moar suggestion:


Instead of rain, large chunks of steak and raw meak come down from the sky. And they are on fire. And electrocute you on impact. And it kills you.

Forever.

EDIT: All also characters start off piss drunk and walk at a -9001 walk speed. Then they die.

[CO_Kevlar]

Two suggestions:

1. Use of incendiary ammo causes your character's sleeves to catch fire. Your face then burns off if you don't run into water within 3 seconds.

2. Running into water causes insta-drowning.

Wow some of you are complete morons. You know he's joking, right?
And he's mocking all of the stupid, sadistic players that complain about E/R being too easy.

[Deus.EXE]

The only available option for the Radial Dial is "Pills Here!"
Also, Voice chat is disabled.

[koopz]

~Must inject Adredaline into their system every 3 minutes or else they die become a tank. This is an original idea, do not steal.

fixed :D

[GoldenRepCookie]

If you complete a campaign, all of North Korea's nukes launch and land on your house. Then a tombstone falls on your house, saying "Here lies the world's biggest hacker". Then the tombstone breaks open and Rick Astley comes out and sings "Never Gonna Give You Up" till everyone within a 500 mile radius commits suicide.

[kamikaze510]

If you complete a chapter, "YOUR A HACKER" appears on the screen 9000 times and you and all your friends are VAC banned.

bahahahaha! :eek:

[Deadly_Target]

~Boomers can fly.


This is what made me laugh.

Just imagine, Boomers with 5000 health flying around the map vomiting on you.

[TheArsoni5t]

In nightmare mode if you die, Jesus pops out of your monitor and pimp-slaps you.

[Giant Enemy Spy]

Here's my input.

-Guns can jam, causing you to enter a quicktime event consisting of mashing in R repeatedly until the jam is cleared.

-Grenade Launchers can jam.

-If the gun jams while incendiary or explosive ammo is loaded, the gun explodes, meaning you can't use it anymore (Unless you can shoot a gun without arms)

-If you're in "no-arms" status, you can't:

-Melee (Both Right Click and use Melee Weapons)
-Heal (includes Pills, Adrenaline, and Medpacks)
-Throw Molotovs/Pipe/Bile bombs
-Deploy Special Ammo
-Pick items up
-Fire Weapons
-Switch Weapons
-Aim down scopes
-Leave the Game
-In "no-arms" status, Text Chat and Voice Chat is disabled. The chatbox is spammed with "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" and your character automatically spams the "Help" voice command.

-The only way to get out of "no-arms" status is to kill 2 Chargers, then use 2 medkits to attach the Charger's small arm to the stubs. Coach requires Tank arms.

-While in "no-arms" mode, Defibrillators can only be used on yourself

-The only way to detach Charger/Tank arms is to Chainsaw/Axe/Katana/Machete them off

-Right Clicking with Bile Bombs and Molotov Cocktails forces the character to drink the contents. Melee is not an option.

-Right Clicking with Pipe Bombs causes the player to attempt smoking the pipe bomb. It also attracts a Horde of Smokers to converge upon the Survivors.

-Attempting to pick up defibrillators results in immediate death

-The Tank and the Charger have been removed from the game

-In each instance one would appear, a Witch is spawned instead

-Witches, in order to replace Tanks effectively, start with Tank HP

-Witches, in order to replace Chargers effectively, can charge

-Witches are now aggressive to any humans other than White Females, as she is one.

-There are no Melee Weapons, as they have been deemed inferior to guns.

-Since Common Infected are considered too easy, every Common Infected is replaced by a Boomer.

-Boomer Bile attracts more Boomers.

-Boomer Explosions cause "no-arms" status

-Jockeys now explode upon contact with a survivor.

-Jockey Explosions cause "no-arms" status

-Smokers use 3 tongues to ensnare survivors.

-Rochelle receives extra damage against Smokers. Smokers use 4 tongues on her.

-Hunters cause the screen of the pounce victim to display 30 seconds of the television network "MTV" for each second pounced.

-Hunters can ride skateboards, and now have their own music.

-Hunter music is a very bad Green Day/Linkin' Park/Fallout Boy remix.

-Hunters now wear Grills and Bling.

[Deus.EXE]

I wonder... does Gabe actually come onto these MB's and reply to threads? I would like to hear his thoughts on the matter. Though I beg him... if you can find something in that black heart of yours, Gabe... Don't subject it to play testers.

I can see it now...

Gabe Newell=
"Well, you see, players obviously were getting upset because of the 5000hp Special Infected, so we had to tone that down to say... 500hp each. Even the Charger. But that was ok, since we still gave a buff to him, but 400% was too fast, so we only added a 10% speed boost onto him. The Boomer Flying idea was great, but the playtesters constantly got confused and on a few occassions, some actually got frightened and asked to leave the office, so... We removed that ability and replaced it with the Boomer being able to climb objects at a 50% faster rate."
"We considered the idea of the only weapons being available being the Hunting Rifle and Frying Pan, but this caused playtesters to become confused. Many would believe they were playing a Hunting simulator, and instead of trying to kill the infected, they here looking around, even overhead looking for fowl to kill and eat. The way we addressed this was to simply remove both of those items from the game, and replaced them with the original weapons."
"We liked the idea of the infected reviving after 45 seconds of being killed off by the player, but once we let the testers have a go at it, it became clear that it became a very important issue. Playtesters would become confused and at some points, would even burst into tears because they couldn't tell which way they were supposed to go, and honestly, it didn't give them any form of satisfaction. So we cut it, and instead gave the zombies their Realism Stats. That should be hard enough."

[Trilby]

NIGHTMARE MODE:
Boomer bile trajectory actually works correctly.

Nobody ever wins.

[PoIson895]

lol cool story bro

[Doktor Freeman]

New SI exclusive to Nightmare mode:

The Stalker

Abilities:
Can take out every Survivor in one hit with an unlimited range.
Has no way of being alerted
Has 9001x More health than the tank
Invisible
It can CRIT
When it is about to kill a Survivor, it removes all of their weapons, health, etc. Then removes their ability to type or use voice chat. Then it finally kills the Survivor.
Can kill people playing L4D1
Only way too kill it is to shut off the game and burn your computer.


Trying too hard?

What about

THE SPOONER

ABILITIES:

Cannot be killed
Hits you with a spoon repeatedly, the spoon makes 20 dmg per hit, can hit incapped survivors.
Spoon breaks at times, it takes out another spoon and targets another survivor
Will not interrupt survivors that heal/revive
Hits won't makes you slower, but he keeps hitting you with a spoon again and again and again and again and again and again and again!


Yes I got it from this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VDvgL58h_Y

Change it to 1 hp per hit, because you don't want to KILL the survivors right away. Since it can't be killed, there is nothing they can do to prevent damage anyway, so might as well annoy the **** out of them while doing it.
When you seemingly kill it (Pushing it off a ledge) it just comes back 2 minutes later.

[MADDOGGE]

Start with 5 health, no health kits, adrenaline or pills!

Why would he do that? You do know that the OP is joking right?

[Deus.EXE]

Why would he do that? You do know that the OP is joking right?


Um... I am OP.

[gree.n]

thanks for this thread :D

[CritMonkey]

You should also have a 10% chance for this mode to trigger when trying to play on easy

[MasterLukeS]

Valve should make this into a mode. Now. I'm not joking.

[Frito]

The helicopters HAVE to be made of chocolate. And if Coach's hunger meter isn't full at the time of saving, he eats the helicopter and you crash to desktop.

[Ant1dot3]

Doors can only be used once, and Saferoom doors no longer exist.

[Eater of Paths]

Here are some things I would like to see implemented into this:
If you use adrenaline and pills right after the other, you go into cardiac arrest and then a coma, and must either be dragged throughout the level (slowing the Survivors down, but they can put weapons on top of your inert body) or be defibrillated 5 times. However, if you are defibrillated, you get brain damage, and start acting like a freakish Jockey-Boomer hybrid (you jump onto someones back and start vomiting on them while gibbering).

Next, you have the option to use a needle, then give it to someone else, so they get a disease. This leads to their health dropping, and can only be slowed by chugging pills, which lead to the above option of coma.

[Kushula]

And Nick, Ellis and Coach have "urges"....:cool:.......:eek:

[Qualve]

Replace all zombies with Chuck Norris.

[killedlove]

~Tanks cause the game to crash to the desktop..

they already implemented that to the game

[hobo healy]

Why would he do that? You do know that the OP is joking right?

Um... I am OP.

hahahaha, OWNED! :D

[dezuman]

Seriously, this thread just gave me like HALF AN HOUR of almost CONSTANT LAUGHT. This NEEDS to be stickied.

Wait here now... maybe ... YES!

I just got the MOST EPIC IDEA EVER!!!
Add the Spooner (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VDvgL58h_Y) to normal survival. It has 0.001% chance to replace a tank. While it is in, no other infected can spawn. Also, you can't end the game. Manual disconnection will be punished by two of these event randomly:

*From now on EVERY video you watch, anyhow and everywhere, will be a rickroll.
*Steam injects your computer with viruses, causing a slow and painful death. (Hint: Computer doesn't feel pain)
*You get a permanent steam account and IP ban.
*Gabe trashes your home with a crowbar, then rapes you.
*A Valve employee comes by with a toolgun and starts spamming out antlion guards.
*Said Valve employee instead brings up console and spams rochelles death scream. LOUD.
*A flying choclate boomer vomits at you. Then Coach comes...
*Bill comes by and do THIS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW8tE93Vx8Q).
*Random 8-year kid comes by with toolgun and use you in a Garrysmod video (You know what). A LONG one.
*Your normal eyesight is replaced by a youtube video. FOREVER. (HINT: Rickroll)

(NOTE: mostly taken from other posts in this thread)

Anyway, the Spooner will do 0.0001 damage every hit. The only way to safely end the game is for everyone to die. Self-inflicted and FF damage will heal instead of hurt.



And as an addition, when you ragequit a game the spooner will appear in your next single-player game. You are unable to close saferoom door if the spooner is on the map.


So, what do yall think?

EDIT: Actualy it would be fun if Valve implemented a LIMITED version of the OP's suggested Nightmare mode. Would be fun to see how many seconds you can last :b

[onFyre]

Saferooms are locked. The key has been eaten by a Tank.

[dezuman]

Saferooms are locked. The key has been eaten by a Tank.

Can only be returned by killing the tank, slicing him up with chainsaw, trick a smoker to pull out the key, bath it in spitter acid to clear away the slime, make a charger slam you into it to straightern it out (HINT: low chance). After that you will have to rush to safehouse while being attacked by a squad of flying boomers (HINT: Infinate hordes).

And there's a 50% chance that the key breaks when used because you pull it in the wrong direction :eek:

[Recall]

I want 2012 mode

Common - instant kill
Friendly fire - instant kill
Picking up a weapon - instant kill
Walking- Instant kill
Loading the map- Instant kill
complaining on the steam fourms about you instantly dieing - instant kill
Looking at a special infected - instant kill
crying - instant kill
leaving the game - instant kill
take a break - instant kill
buying a diffrent game - instant kill

tbh Just blinking will be a instant kill

Rep for you for such a funny post.

All the survivors are late to school and have a big test, and when they arrive they realize they're naked.

Are you tired of all those ***** *** ******s whining and complaining about Expert? How about Expert Realism? Well, if you're like me and you can solo Hard Rain E/R with just a bottle of pills, then Nightmare mode is for you.

Gameplay changes-
Common Infected-
~Move at 200% speed.
~Attack 150% faster.
~Deal 200% more damage (Compared to Expert)
~Revive after 45 seconds (Though no more than 50 at any given time may be attacking the player)

Special Infected-
~Standard Special Infected have 5000hp each.
~Hunters can turn invisible.
~Boomers can fly.
~Smokers, when killed, fill the entire level with smoke for 5 minutes.
~Chargers are 400% faster when charging.
~Spitters can spit through walls.
~Jockeys can move through walls.
~Tanks cause the game to crash to the desktop. Possible Blue Screen of Death.
~Witch, when disturbed, kills everyone playing on any Dedicated Server.

Survivors-
~Must inject Adredaline into their system every 3 minutes or else they die. This is an original idea, do not steal.
~No HUD.
~If they attempt to heal a fellow survivor, they are instantly set on fire.

Items
~The only weapons available are the Hunting Rifle and the frying pan.
~Pills cause liver/kidney failure, and cause the Survivors to move at red health speed for 4 minutes.

Please, Valve, make my dream a reality, and make it so that ALL the achievements are only achievable through this mode.

During crescendos and finales Tanks spawn instead of CI
Tanks throws a guided six megaton nuclear warhead
You start of with 10% temporary health and black and white
Your team is given nothing in safe rooms and there is only one health kit hidden in the level.
And of course during the final part of the finale the rescue vehicle is gaurded by Chuck Norris, A zombifie (actuall Zombie not infected) Bruce Lee, Super Mecha Death Crist Version 2.0 Beta and there's an impassible barrier that only disappears when you kill all of your teammates and incap yourself.

I broke to pieces with laughter after "Boomer Can Fly" but this has left a friend of mine in tears for days. As such, I now present to you a very lame parody:

http://i48.tinypic.com/2yyr09f.jpg

Boomerman, Boomerman,
Does whatever the infected can,
Blows up hard,
Spews some bile,
His attacks are slow but pretty vile,
Look out!
Here comes the Boomerman

Is he strong?
Not really, bud,
Despite his infected blood.
He can swing from a tongue
Til the Smoker coughs up a lung
Hey, there
There goes the Boomerman

Look out, he just done blew up,
Whenever there's some spew up,
You'll find the Boomerman!



Thank you and goodnight.

My only reply is.. O.o why?

Why not?
Ok, ok, so I'll do some realistic revisions. Tank Crashing and Witch killing everyone might not be realistic.

How about... Tank can hit anyone, anywhere. Also, when he throws his blocks, they explode like a Boomer.
As for the Witch, well... ok, she kills everyone. Just in that game.

[dezuman]

Did you get inspiration from my spooner post?

An original idea STOLEN FROM the FEATURE FILM 'CRANK' STARRING JASON STATHAM.

That would be an interesting game mode though.

laughed at a few of those. great.. reminds me of the whole controlling body movements in l4d

I still say that would have raised sales 10 fold, especially if they added the Wii fit board so you controlled the legs with your butt.

the funny thing that i thought this is serious until the line:

~Tanks cause the game to crash to the desktop. Possible Blue Screen of Death.

didnt read every word tough...

[Recall]

This thread needs to be stickied!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S AMAZING. Anyway, my idea is : After 5 minutes in game, Coach gets tired and one of the other survivers needs to carry him for the rest of the map/campaign etc, till they find a CHOCOLATE HELICOPTER for him to eat.

[Deus.EXE]

I wonder if anyone in the modding community would be kind enough to do such a thing.
Though to make it realistic... Im gonna edit a few things.

I support this option even for regular game mode. Instead of a medkit he carries a backpack with burger tank burgers in it. Every 30 seconds he must consume a burger tank burger with special sauce. If he doesn't after 20 seconds he has to turn on a group member or he will die.

At first I thought you were serious, but after I got halfway through the CI section, I repped you.

[Taikis]

There is Nightmare difficulty, you just have to find it.

Yes, it's E/R. WITH BOTS. :o

[funkymarlon]

Nightmare mode, isn't that just playing in pub? Yeah didnt read the thread, I'm sure many have made that connection.

[Ninja53595]

Add this on:

Survivors lose 1 hp a second till they use a first aid kit if hit by any special infected, this does not stop if the survivor's 1 hp till incap.

[ttommy]

Till the point "Spitters can spit through walls." I thought it would be interesting. Give it a try ...
But after that, it is just lulz.

[Recall]

How about when Coach gets incapped, it causes an earthquake and the game crashes? :P god i love coach <3

[Deus.EXE]

Ladies and Gentlemen... Do I smell Nightmare mode in the upcoming Mutation list?! >:D

...
No?

Oh, wait, that's me. Never mind. Still, if Valve has any sense of decency in their souls, they would give us this nightmare.

[Volg]

No guns :D! just your bare hands! >:C

[NegyxoDEENi]

Boomer vomits spawns a horde of UCI style tanks (hazmat/riot cop/lolclown) that will charge towards you with death in their eyes then when they all wind up to smash you with all there strength and you would need a change of pants if you weren't about to die they do an interpretive dance number about jesus.

[Slithersouls]

ITS LIKE NINJA GAIDEN BUT ITS A FPS AND YOUR FIGHTING ZOMBIES D:

I have a feeling Ultra Realism will be our proclaimed nightmare mode. It may not be as difficult as the real nightmare mode, but they will make it damn close.

Here's what i'm seeing/feeling right now as far as Ultra Realism maybe concerned.

1. Tank Hit=auto incap
2. Tank Hit on Heavy Object hitting survivor = insta death
3. Witch Hit = Instant Death as usual
4. FF accident = instant incap *regardless of caliber*
5. Defib unit = have X time to reach the body you don't you can't revive them.
6. Survivor Death = permanently dead can't even get them back in the saferoom
7. Charger Hit = possible 25-50% chance of instant incap regardless of health.
8. Jockey = Ninja Jockey does 10-20 health per hit
9. Spitter Spit = Melts our faces off Indiana Raiders Of The Lost Ark style with the ♥♥♥♥♥.
10. Smoker Choke = does damage while it pulls you
11. Boomer Vomit = Completely black screen can't see *Bleep*
12. Hunter = Damage limiter removed for height and has a chance to incap.
13. Get 4 medkits for the "entire" campaign you don't get any in the saferooms or out in the field. Chances of finding one are like 5% of playthroughs.
14. Pills only give 25 health to you instead of 50.
15. Adrenaline shots only boost your speed no 25 health.

That's probably a taste of what Ultra Realism Mode has to offer in the way of nightmare mode.

[eargosedown]

I support, but only if when you try to start in this mode, you get a popup saying:

"Are you sure? This skill level isn't even remotely fair." and the user must press the Y key to continue.

Yes please!

[Deus.EXE]

Is there a modder that can at least do some of these things? Obviously not the crashing, and the killing everyone on any server thing. Just the standard things like noclipping for the Boomer, invisible (no model?) hunters, super fast CI...etc

[Goodmonson]

I chuckled

Furiously!

chuckling furiously is also an instant kill.

[Croben]

It should also include this
Tanks move at 300 unit/s (survivors move at 220 u/s)
Tanks are not slowed by gunfire.
All commons are replaced with Tanks
Special Infected are replaced with stronger Tanks
Witches are even stronger Tanks.
Tanks are Tanks driving tanks.
Expert mode
Tank "common" limit is 100
Tanks KILL in one hit.
You get a chainsaw that does 1000 per hit.


No items.
Fox only.
Final Destination.

You know you want it.

[Ectopl]

Wow.
Hardcore gamer, anyone?

[kara_bulut]

Lol it's like doom nightmare.

[wicid13]

bump :D

[CKarinja]

Is it sad that I would enjoy this mode?

[Deus.EXE]

Oh, and for versus-
16 Player Controlled SI vs 4 Player Survivors.

[<(x.x<) Kirby]

*takes off glasses* My god...

This is one of the most funniest ideas I've ever seen:D

With my current skills in this game, I pray that I can even make it out of the safe room in this mode. :eek:

Edit: Also, make it so that you meet everyone of the special infected every minute.

[DedVeil]

Nightmare Mode? Daww icwutudidthar

Will the boomers wear capes? Because this mode is useless if it has flying Boomers with no capes.

[WhatThe-FUUU]

Make it so that if you rage it shuts down everyones computers

[Vulkans]

It's all possible under Sourcemod except for:

Flying AI boomers (The AI doesn't understand no clipping, and by extension, flight. A routine can be written to make the boomer float directly towards you, but he'd need line of sight first)
No clipping Jockeys (Same reason as above, but they can be turned into teleporting Jockeys instead)
Witch killing everyone on every dedicated server (You can easily have the witch killing everyone on the server the second she kills her target, though a plugin could be written that, if installed on a large number of servers, will kill everyone on it when a witch kills someone on a server running said plugin)

Everything else is doable, even the tank crashing the game thing.

[Portalboat]

Oh Dear God. I propose a project to do this.

[silversnake4133]

Holy ♥♥♥♥ Batman! Hah, for the music they should put in stuff done in G major.

Some more ideas to add:
-The colors of the world should change instantly every 10-15 seconds, the count should be varied each time so no one would expect it.
-The ground should move slightly in any given direction regardless of the direction the survivor is moving in.
-The survivor's vision should remain in a haze even after the required injections, and random white noise glitches should pop up every once in a while.
-The faces of every other living thing that the survivor views should be grotesquely distorted and their regular calls or sounds should be randomly sped up or slowed with a distortion filter masking it.
-And after a set amount of adrenaline is injected into the survivor, they begin to hallucinate and inanimate objects in the environment grow grotesque faces and either appear to follow you or rush you periodically. This hallucination would last for upwards of 10 minutes.

Nightmare mode? More like living hell on earth, if they even are on earth anymore. :D

[GraveZombie]

In order to use a chain saw you must find and read all 4 volumes of the safety manuals.

[Double Helix]

As soon as you open the console, your FOV changes constantly from 1 to 2000.

[ImmortalXia]

Chuck Norris approves of this!
SO DO I !

[to42366]

There needs to be a contest offical by Valve to see which adventrous group of 4 can survive this nightmare. :eek:

[Dr.Boo.j2]

~ When the Boomer explodes, you all die
~ You have to finish the level in less than 3 minutes or Nick turns into an a-shole and kills all his teammates
~ Every time you ragequit, a bunny gets killed
~ The Gnome can grow enormous and squash you all
~ Guns shoot only blanks
~ You only have toothpicks as melee weapons
~ Most defibs are boobytrapped. If you use them, you die
~ Smoker's tongue is electric and kills you on impact
~ Spitter spit floods the entire level
~ Tanks don't even have to punch you to kill you. As soon as it spots you, you're all incapped
~ In this mode, you automatically have 500 ping

holy crap i want this right now.

Also for the guns, you need to find a police station and get a certificate for your guns.

[SargentTaters]

plus, it would be impossible, cuz the policemen and certifiers have all left/been infected! : D

[ImmortalXia]

smoker tongue drags survivors into the smoker's mouth, making the survivor have to escape from his digestive juices.
Success = incapped but gets puked out by smoker
Failure = you are digested into the smoker. Smoker is hungry, and now is not!

[ImmortalXia]

There will be popups of things, scary stuffs whenever you kill a witch
Death in game = It will be raining the hated Rochelles!
Or giant annoying oranges will appear.. DAM RIGHT IN YOUR HOUSE!!!!
