That sounds pretty sweet. I'd still hate to spawn in that safehouse, though.

Nice, I hope they do add some cool add-ons to the 360 version.

Wow I played this for the first time today and I must admit the witches and the tanks were the most fun of all. And the combination of both within a safehouse would be absolute insanity! Sure hope that something like this stays for good on the 360 version of the game.

Well, if it's that easy to alter things, maybe we can get some damn Mods and stuff on the 360 like the PC.... Please?

I would love to keep console commands on the console versions, but I don't want to accidentally join a hacked game or have a hacker join mine. So yeah, that seperate online channel thing seems like a good idea.

The one thing I envy about PC gamers. Unreal Tournament 3 was a step in the right direction; too bad it couldn't have been done on a more popular game.

Looks like it could be fun for a little while, like all console commands are (though they get old pretty quickly). Still, I agree that it should be kept separate of all those looking for the standard Left 4 Dead gameplay. Of course, it'll be patched out soon anyway...

And I like how the guy tried to edit out the tutorial part of the video by posting a big white commentary box over it. You can still see pretty much every step involved anyway.

Edit: Wait, I just had a thought. If hex editing of this sort is possible, and assuming that the setup of all the files is similar to the PC version of Left 4 Dead, perhaps it would even be possible to load up custom maps on the 360? Seems like a long shot, but that would be pretty cool.

Modding on a console videogame... you don't see that everyday. I wonder how Microsoft and Valve wll respond to this and whether they'll respond that same way.

Yeah, it'd be cool to have all of that stuff in the game on a separate mode...

wow 360 users are getting desperate :\

fortunately my pc experience with the game has been pretty solid.  fun times despite the amount of campaigns.

Yeah it'd be cool for private matchs, I'm not sure I want to play something like this in a pub match.

This will definitely result in straight-up bans.  Fucking with game saves is a big no-no.

"Modding on a console videogame... you don't see that everyday. I wonder how Microsoft and Valve wll respond to this and whether they'll respond that same way."

Off topic: Is there a podcast coming tonight?  I mean, I can put off studying for finals forever, just curious.

Ya this wil get removed i bet,o well i ahve the PC version.

I imagine since it's all source code that some of the people I've played Team Fortress 2 might be pulling the same thing, opening the console and issuing commands. The point is, when you give people that power, some are going to abuse it.

hah, he whited the tutorial out!!!!

"What part of zero tolerance don't you understand?"

How about the part where it makes things less fun...?

One major reason that I could see Microsoft getting involved here would be achievements.

Left4Dead for 360 will be left for dead by Valve soon. Just wait.

So.....I press the button under escape...... and like cool stuff happens.
It's pretty funny they've found out how to do that on the 360, though.

Ps. the huge zombies are just put in what's called the 'skybox' it's a little box outside the map where basicaly the map's backround enviroment is stored so when you spawn something in there it'll look massive in the actual map, obviusly you can't interact with it, but it looks cool.

Eh, I think modding should be reserved for the PC and even then under specific servers. This kind of thing is seen, at least to me, as more jack-assery than anything. Leave it to Valve to give out the add-on's, for 360, hm?

Also, Jeff, "Is there no God?!" was an awesome line. Thank you.

I too am curious about the podcast.. 

Oh. the video? Yeah, that's neat, but I'd rather not get banned. But if valve put in a forge-like system, where we could just edit the crap out of levels? I'm totally up for it. especially since the AI director apparently can do most of the work. Lets see some crazy shit get put in L4D to fill that hunger for content.

Modding is fun sometimes but I feel that it kind of ruins the experience

The music used in that video rocks. 

Valve should really keep this stuff and like you said Jeff just keep it all on separate servers.

lol. awesome video

Yeah, where is the podcast..
I saw my friend doing this earlier on his 360, he must have been tampering with it or something..

Thx Jeff

If anyone knows who any of the music is by, private message me please!

@ ep_driver
look below your post guy ; )

Just release Garry's Mod for the 360. >=]

sounds like this got out of hand completely, people are doing this like crazy. 

Wow its good to see just how well the engine holds up under the sheer amount of moltovs and AI being spawned.  I'd hate it if somebody did this on one of my games.  Seems annoying :S

Big people? Small City?  Thats just a guy standing in the skybox...... So basically they turned noclip on.

I dunno if "looks like fun" is the description I'd use, but alright.

Yeah on PC you just do no clipping and boom you're going through everything. And it's something similar with that huge character, the person who's big is just standing next to that small city version of the actual level and they get projected, as big but they aint and the clouds are like a twister around that small version of the level, those are actually just the serounding buildings of the level in the distance.

but they did a nice job

Aha my Left 4 Dead fever dream comes to life! I've said in the past this sort of thing should be a seperate mode, but someone in particular said that would be bad, so take that!

funny

Louis!

This would be cool as long as I got full disclosure going into it.  I wouldn't want to plan on a normal game and spawn into it

This is why I pretty much only play fps on pc, console kids just don't understand. also, microsoft owns you.

that was something else!

Nice I have all the equipment for that stuff.  If I knew I wouldn't get banned I would try it.

Gigantic witches!? Oh shit!

This is why we can't have nice things!

I hope you guys know that this isn't the only Valve game on 360 that has been hacked to hell and back, but no one's talking about it.  And that's The Orange Box.

Looks like a lot of fun but nothing worth getting banned over.
