The Counter-Strike weapons were previously available to German players as a bonus compensation for the censorship. Before 2020, you could still use them in any version when playing with German players. They were never meant to be placeholders.

The "step away from the car" is the car alarm saying that.

"lazily copied the code from L4D1" my guy it's a fucking sequel

the simple tone heard is a ui sound for the menu, you can faintly hear it whenever you start a vote in a multiplayer session. gift drop and gift pickup were sounds used in the 2011 christmas event where special infected in versus would drop gifts.

Some notes since i really love l4d: 1. Left 4 Dead Zero isnt a leak, it was a project aimed at restoring old L4D stuff (mostly the old builds from 2006 to 2008. You showed stuff that was in the mega files, uploaded after the project was cancelled. 2. I can see you played a bit of the mod L4D2 Beta Pack, aimed at remaking the e3 2009 demo, its still getting updated but mostly its 100% the same as the e3 demo. Tho im confused at the l4d2 pistol icons and the ak 47 showing up there, as that was changed in the pack. Also the Charger didnt only have animations changes, he worked completetly different. 3. Weapons animations are just the l4d1 animations, nothing interesting. 4. Survivors have more cut voice lines than you showed, like Ellis doesnt have only 1 cut voice line. 5. that first sound you showed is in the game, when someone starts a votation. the other ones are pretty much cs left over sounds, since l4d was originally a cs:s mod. The other one is a achievement sound. 6. Yes, melee weapons were supposted to break, but were changed very early, as the first time l4d2 was shown,they didnt break. 7. no mercy pilot ending voice lines were cut since it made players feel bad even after winning the campaign. 8. first whitaker line is in the game, the other ones are a mix of if you and your team is dying, happens sometimes or actually cut voice lines. 9. the survivors e3 skins are pretty close, but they are not 100% accurate as the person who give us those skins (yes i do help with the beta pack) did some unnecesary changes/mistakes, that will be changed in a future patch. 10. you can see whitaker if you use noclip after he starts to get ready to clean the way. 11. australian bat is a thing since game got censored there just like german.

The Pipe Bomb was originally supposed to be just a normal m26 grenade that you'll just throw to the zombies during the l4d beta stage, so i guess that explains why there's a grenade icon

isn't the Ellis "Grabbing a breadslicer" line used when he grabs a machete?

14:54 some black metal shit

i swear i remember hearing the screamer was cut from l4d1 because valve found it was too confusing for newer players, whereas other infected testers understood pretty quick. the screamer's voicelines were repurposed to the hunter

A neat detail I'm sure not a lot of people have noticed, both with the cut bridge dialogue you played and what we got in the final version of the game, is how the chopper pilot inquires about seeing "flashes" on the west bank, referring to the muzzle flash of the survivors weapons, and the reason this dialogue is interesting is because it sheds light on the fact that The Parish was originally supposed to take place at night, but was later changed to be a day time campaign. This detail also makes other parts of The Parish make more sense, like Ellis' comment hoping to not see ghosts in the cemetery. Also that tone sound you're unsure of plays when someone prompts a vote, that being to change the campaign, difficulty, or to kick someone.

The Whitaker "go screw yourselves" voice line is actually in the game I think

13:02 bills laugh sounds exactly like father grigori, makes sense since Jim french plays both of them.

Bro, those Sacrifice voicelines from Bill. Dude was a tough SOB and a real one o7

Finally another youtuber that goes in depth about unused and scrapped content any kind of games. Can't wait to see what games you will cover. (looking at Super Mario 64 would be fantastic)

glad to see another cut content vid by u you got ur self a fan

The unused early hud icons like the Gravestone and Zombie headshot icons where actually once part of a scrapped kill announcement system that similar to how it appears in both the Counter Strike Source and Gmod, there is actually footage of it working too on KZfaq somewhere

hope your channel blows up man these videos are fantastic

Remember that L4D2 didn't start from scratch. It was an evolution of L4D1. Some things were added, some things were deleted, but some stuff may be left over. Same with L4D1, it was originally Counter Strike Source, so some counter strike assets were likely used as placeholder during development.

Also btw Hacking you actually got the unused Midnight Riders tour bus ending right but for the wrong campaign XD It was actually a unused ending idea for a early version of Dark Carnival where there was supposed to a control room section in the ending concert area with a Hippie trapped inside and basically it’s just a like the Church Guy from Death Toll but instead the Survivors have to do something for him first in the unused ending and the Hippie would actually help the survivors get to a scrapped garage part where the Midnight Riders tour bus would be. I’m kinda guessing they cut this ending out when Valve came up with Swamp Fever and hence they had to change up the ending to the Concert and Helicopter idea. The “Stealing the Midnight Riders tour bus” was actually the second ending concept they made for Dark Carnival which in first concept idea for a ending Valve actually had the idea for Train escape ending for the campaign before the Tour bus and Helicopter ending ideas, Valve scrapped it because it didn’t really make much sense for a Train to be right next to a Carnival

Just got your channel reccomended. Love these types of videos. 😊 liked and subbed

Cant believe he said "Ay double U pee" instead of AWP

Thank you for making a good video. So many creators just have awkward or exaggerated commentary

I'm absolutely shocked that you didn't recognize these tones : 13:23 This is used when a player calles a vote (eg : votekick, changelevel... ) 13:27 gift_drop and gift_pickup play when a player kills a Special Infected during 11th of December of every year, a gift is dropped and the player can collect three of them for the achievement called "Valve Gift Grab 2011 - L4D2", this isn't unique to Left 4 Dead 2 it is also a thing in CS Source and Left 4 Dead 1 13:48 This is a sound originally from Left 4 Dead 1 but it is also in L4D2 it plays right after closing the saferoom in the Left 4 Dead 1 Campaigns 14:08 This also plays when a player receives fall damage (First sound only) 14:46 I think you mispronounced "Cold Stream" but yeah that intro theme sounds very similar to the Death Toll campaign intro theme A lot of the unused voicelines you showed are restored after the Last Stand update so this is kinda outdated

i'm glad that someone re made dark carnival and use those missing voice lines for dark carnival

Ngl ammo packs would be nice to replace medkits sometimes in vs. Would prob need less general ammo though idk

In the Russian translation of the btw, these Whitaker phrases are voiced and phrases like I won’t help you, etc. are used. phrases about tanks are also used in the remix version of the dark carnival; phrases about tanks from Bill can also be heard, but in the update trailer the last frontier

The gift sounds play during the holidays, in multiplayer presents will drop and theres an achievement for collecting them

Theres actually a zombie called "Leaker" in the code that you can summon in game He's basically have a boomer texture but he have more health and explode when he comes your near. When he explodes he leaves a little fire behind that gives some much damage

Just subscribe and I love Learning about cut content in video games also will you do a fallout one and keep them coming as long as you can

They cut the screamer due to people finding it too annoying during early play tests. Rightfully so. It’s rather annoying in Dying Light as well & quite useless for those who know how to handle themselves.

The gift sound effects are actually from TF2 and are for the gifts dropped from the specials for the christmas event in 2011

I suspect the vertical axe swing may be a reference to tf2, since that is the animation for an axe attack in that game.

Pickup misc 42 is the sound that would play when you get an achievement in the pc version of left 4 dead 1

Fact is the guy with the gun store in the fallen survicor u can see him in the passing he go bit or kilked idk

during a xbox campaign run on dark carnival 1, in the motel pool, my friend discovered the combat knife, from what I remember I don't believe there was a German player, however it was a while agom

10:34 you can get a quick view of those when you shove with your primary weapon and quickly switch to your melee

Keep it up man! Love these vids

Gift drop and gift pick up are used when tf2 gifts would drop a while back. You'd get an achievement for it, though im not sure if it still happens

Honestly i love those older animations on the guns way better seems like there's actually kick to the guns rather than the final design guns i like seeing the sway to them edit: i love the auto shotgun pickups

4:25 it's not laziness, it's a common pratice for developers to test mechanics and code through placeholders, when making a sequel they use the previous game assets until the art department makes the final art.

i think the riot shield is the only melee that has durability system and can be use to protect from charger's charge attack and tank's fist or throwing rocks

i'd love to see a team fortress 2 what was cut. Awesome video btw

I swear i heard "just a six pack" a week ago

Honestly props to this video dude. Showed some stuff not a lot of youtuber's have covered. Its not just beta facts everyone knows at this point. Hats off to showing some unique stuff!

16:26 Gentlemen, I do believe i'm infected.

13:19 Some of these sounds are from Team Fortress 2 like the gifts and Pickup_misc42 possibly from Mann Vs Machine or that one moon map on tf2 with the robots.

Oh man you should get yourself on the PC version. Its is incredibly worth it. Would love to play it again

I actually had a glitch where i spawned with the Hunter Claw as Coach a few months ago, i still have the screenshot on my steam surprisingly..

Woah the new cut left 4 dead

I do believe the gift sounds were used during a Christmas event or when the game was free to play for a short time, but I could be wrong

13:23 vote 13:28 like in tf2 gift drops from infected 13:38 name like achievement 13:49 sounds like one of the pitch sounds in the safe house end music

13:24 isnt that when you vote kick somebody or you just vote to change the map/restart etc...? thats the sound that pops to vote

13:24 I've heard that sound before, valve uses it for player tutorials and developer commentary nodes

I actually have the original lfd1+2 demos on my old Xbox 360 and those have tons of differences, I don’t think it was E3 time as it is a lot more towards lfd2 rather than still using lfd1 animations Very cool to explore it, I think its levels 1+2 of the parish and that’s it

Pickup_misc42 is from l4d1 when you get an achievement ported over, not used 13:45

17:50 I've heard that one multiple times

The gift sound is from tf2

im not really sure where you got all of these textures from, i mod l4d2 a lot and have gone through the files a lot and havent seen coach and ellis' leftovers, are they from elsewhere or from the xbox physical disc?

Do Postal 2 Next

1:18 I need a mod for replace the vanilla icons for this type of icons

love these videos, could you do a video on doom from 1993?

does gift pickup and gift drop are from TF2's Christmas update

MORE Left 4 Dead CONTENT

13:24 i heard this one on voting

The "simple tone" isnt even unused its a versus sound used when a votes called, gift drops are used in december when gifts drop from si in versus for an achievement, and the pickup42 is the sound that plays when you make it to the saferoom, all of these are dead giveaways that you arent exactly familiar with l4d2, also the only voiceline from whitaker thats cut is the 2nd one shown, ALSO also, the shot border texture is just the zoomed in vanilla "dont shoot teammates!" popup

14:53 Where did you find that sound?

11:03 you shot the witch and she didn't get startled by it!

13:02 - I knew father Grigori didn't died in Half-Life 2 😎

Yes

Great video and much needed entertainment , I would like to ask what you mean about the csgo weapons being glitchy on console, as they not in the Xbox version Also fun note those old weapon animations are the exact same animations from l4d1 For their respective weapons

It wasn't for the passing it was dark something

11:02 what was that? how ? how?!

Do you guys hear that bill sounds similar to father Gregori in half life 2?

15:28 sounds like demoman

is the ak still the best weapon in the game?

subscribed i’d love to see more cod

Gift Drop and Gift Pickup are Day of Defeat Source left overs. Day of Defeat Source had the "gift grab" event for Christmas. It gave you an achievement for grabbing 3 gifts.

13:29 tf2
