That transition from the Engie laugh to the realisation is so smooth.

My absolute favorite TF2 mod. More people need to play Zombie Fortress.

The alliteration is still badass ngl. Down right impressive.

Thank you for making these videos on these arguably obscure game modes!

Wow, first time I see a zombies gamemode that sounds actually fun.

The alliteration has improved drastically, it flows so much into your sentences that sometimes I hardly notice it

playing L4D2 in TF2 on Serious Sam maps looks like a pinnacle of videogaming,i love it!

And now a random cinematic story script: *The Tank marches up, it's squad of medics keeping it strong and healthy as it begins tearing apart barriers like tissue paper* Medic: ALL IS LOST! WE CAN'T FIGHT IT! Engi: Damnit! My sentry just ain't got what it takes! Heavy: We will die fighting! *revving his minigun* *As the mercs all line up, weapons drawn, Demoman pauses as he hears a spectral voice* "Give em hell boys!" *He looks behind himself, seeing a familiar lost face: Soldier, charging into battle like he did before his falling, using a grenade as a suicide technique to kill some of the horde from before* Demo: Lads...it's been fun. *he hands his last unopened skrumpy bottle to Heavy, reaching into his vest and pulling out the Caber* Heavy: No...Demo, NOO! Medic: What is happening?! Scout: THE FREAKING DEMOMAN IS GONNA KILL HIMSELF! Demo: It's for Soldier! *With every step Demo took, another barrier is ripped through by the Tank, but soon, the light shines through, showing the Tank and Demo, mere meters apart* Demo: *Taking his last breath* LEEEEEEET'S DO IIIIIIIIT! *The Tank roars out and charges, Demo doing the same, the hulking fist and the Caber making contact. And as the ligh shines bright for the mercs, Demo sees Soldier, holding a hand out* Soldier: Come here, cupcake! *after a moment of pause, Demo laughs and runs to Soldier, hugging him tightly* *Through the deafening buzz after, the mercs only see the ashy remains and decimated corpses, and while a few stragglers were quickly mowed down, the team sat there, now safe from the horde for now...but at the cost of yet another valued friend.* I got this idea from when you talked about the Caber and if anyone wants to animate this, you have my fullest permission

I love the tank line of being inclusive about your victims. “Your pronouns are valid but your life is over.”

To add to that morale thing, as someone who has played szf for a while, it changes based on events not just kills. The most important things to note are 1: tanks drop your morale hard. It becomes really difficult to kill a tank due to this reduced damage. 2: Capturing objectives cause your morale to go up. That’s one of the reason why many maps use objectives when not needed, that morale boost is important. 3: special infected kills increase your morale more and more likely to. 4: Melee gains increased damage benefits from morale. To talk about melee for a second it is the second most powerful tool in a survivor’s arsenal. It does bonus damage in the beginning of the game until the first frenzy. And it note ally does way more damage against, of all things, tanks. This isn’t some ok neat last leg thing , this is it is better for me to run at this tank with my melee instead of my shotgun. Yeah it’s like 100% more damage. The most important tool in a survivor’s arsenal is, ironically, the ability to run away from your problems (zombies). Yeah cowardice is really powerful, except for demo because demo is god in szf Jesus Christ come at me. The medic is the funniest class in but heavily map dependent due to the maps sometimes having guaranteed Mediguns. Spy has the advantages of being annoying with dead ringer and cloak. Scout’s speed is, believe me, negligible since his double jump is so much stronger in a mode that if you get surrounded by two zombies you are bringing your own coffin. The ability to be fast is completely useless when your last stand without the force of nature or soda popper because you are going to be forced from the point. Trust me I have seen gods of Szf die a scout last stand because they were always being pressured by the stronger infected. Infected are equal to survivors. Even tank vs a heavy with brass beast only is limited by the slow on hit the tank has. If tank gets the jump on a heavy, it usually is over for a good chunk of the survivors. But remember that melee damage. A single surv can beat the living shit out of a tank if they have backup. The tank becomes so weak with the battle back up it is insane. A tank can one shot a soldier. A tank must 10 hit a last stand battle back up soldier. But when a tank dies without getting a kill the zombies get frenzied, which is often stronger than a tank. A tank can do nothing, but a frenzy obliterates the entire team including whoever gets the last stand. That is the end of my rant. (Edit) some things to add is that zoldier is the opposite of Dezo in that instead of hard offense, it is focused on hard defense instead. The increased health is one thing but there is another thing that is really important to zoldier. When zoldier is assisting the horde, if on one survivor, the entire horde becomes stronger. The reason is due to the mobility of zoldier, the hit box of zoldier, and the increased health of zoldier. For example, if a scout tried to fire into a 3 strong horde, most of the horde will be hurt pretty badly. When a soldier is there, only the soldier gets hurt leaving the rest mostly untouched. The zoldier is also the strongest manual pressure (other than gas) that the Zombies have in abundance. To put it simply, a soldier can distract a heavy, demo, engine, whatever incredibly effectively than the others because if your don’t finish a zoldier, their power level soars to being able to move as fast as a scout while doing above average damage.

im glad that there is a video on this so that servers can now actually be somewhat alive.

I've posted in the description some other minor details I missed/were updated in additon to the Blackwonder Server IP Adress for the gamemode. There's another server that hosts it by the name of Flux however their listed IP doesn't seem to work.

I love the fact how the charger buff he recently received would move him up to A tier

Dude your videos have such a cozy vibe reminding me of 2014 yt good job on the vids!

Listen to while at work, and watched later, video is fantastic, great sfm work as always and another great video to add the the list

I’ve never seen this mode it’s so cool that they actually translated the special infected view models and character models but making them look like mercenaries and seeing the TF2 version of dead center was awesome

I suppose I should mention that the eureka effects wrench gives passive metal to engineers at the cost of getting less from ammo pack. It's use is niche but is useful when you get those rare maps that have very little ammo. Also the candy cane is updated that it gives 20% damage vulnerability to the scout. Man treads now is really good since you can run fast and not fall behind as much.

I'm so glad someone made a video now the servers are gonna grow. Thanks, man

22:21 "Come on Heavy, we need to get the hell out of here!" "Negative, I have gun."

Zombie fortress deserves so much love, please keep making more videos like this!

Back when I first heard of this mode, I didn't know what it was and had no idea what L4D was Now I know both so I'll have to try it out

*The return of the king* Thanks for continuing to make amazing content and managing to make the intro for each character start with the same letter TerrainTransAmish

I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this gamemode before lmao.

17:48 RAWKIT LAWNCHAIR Thank you so much for adding that

I like the gamemode, The 2013 incident is a big incident that shook spaceguy really bad, he murdered milk lovers in order to not leave any proofs, but some survived and said the truth. We decided to keep it a secret but don't be fooled it is a real incident, if you see spaceguy with a knife which has a white liquid, run he has arrived for you

Absolutely amazed at his ability to assemble sentences so abely

Nice to see some light on this gamemode. Especially now with the removal of class limitations.

This is something I been waiting for since the zombie escape tier list

Wow! This looks amazing how have I not heard of this game mode before.

Yooo thank you for making this!! I love this gamemode!

SGO: "The Gas Passer is good in this gamemode." Me: "Ok, I can see that. Guaranteed afterburn is pretty useful when the enemy is more likely to be grou-" SGO: "It's the MvM Gas Passer." Me: "Oh. Oh that... that sounds cruel... So, uh, what servers host this gamemode?"

Here are some fun tips that you didn't mention for anybody wanting to play this mode after this video: 1) Jockey is secretly the ultimate counter to scout, even if you don't move them while grabbing on, you can still make them easy Tank and swarm bait. 2) Charger is good as a distraction, although not the best, he can bait somebody into looking at him falling so that his team mates can avenge his failed kamikaze strategy, also you can completely screw with scouts by cornering them which is still as hard as it is to one shot them. 3) Infected Spy is actually kinda good for picking off survivors, punishing the team for abandoning them by adding them to their side, so target those who will fall behind. 4) Infected Soldier is better when you need an all around class, he is not too slow, can move faster to get a free hit, and is more effective on maps where you can strategically take damage for a slight speed boost when tailing the survivors. 5) If you are playing spitter or smoker, it might be worth it to rush in if you know the survivors are holding on by a thread to help swarm and contain them. 6) You can attack while on top of someone with both the hunter and Jockey, also similar tip is that screamer can still attack and is far from weak, meaning if you swarming with your team, remember that you can get physically involved. 7) DONT FORGET THAT MOST SERVERS PROVIDE !rtv TO CHANGE MAPS! 8) Let the Solider whip you, even if you have to back peddal, it has the potential to save both of you while going faster, versus going slower and leaving the guy who trusted you to be beaten alive by a swarm of rabid drunks. 9) Bionics Lab is the best map I've played so far, fair both sides and forces everyone on both ends to work together to win.

You forgot to mention about the jokey passive ability. He has 100% (or I believe 200%) air control. Meaning when you jump, if you strafe you actually move SIGNIFICANTLY FASTER. You’ll be surprised how fast you can go so even scouts can not run away from you :).

The Stalker Zombie has a longer blackout effect than Common Infected Spies, so there you go They're more dangerous and annoying to deal with

My favorite part was when pyro said “mmph mmhmph mmph” and pyroed all over the place

The bison is finally not the worst weapon in the game!

This video is great! I remember playing this game mode years ago. It was some of the most fun I’ve had in TF2.

Great vid. Always cool to hear stuff about how people change TF2 into an entirely different game mode. Should try it myself at sum point

52:22 that was oddly smooth, good job!

ate with my dinner very good video

Thank you for making this video, this ended up getting me into SZF, it's fun as hell and I've met some cool people

I remember playing OG ZF back in 2010! Seeing asylum awakened old memories. Old ZF was just normal tf2 but with class restrictions - zombies were scout, heavy and spy and that was it, no special infected. Survivors couldn't be those classes but they were able to take various perks. For example, I remember one of them being called stir crazy, which would give you damage bonuses while strafing

I’m a regular on the Blackwonder SZF Server, I’ve spotted you playing a few times. Glad to finally see the finished product. I usually play Sniper myself, I find it as good aim practice. I personally like picking up the Huntsman, it’s a pretty fun weapon though it does demand a pretty reliable team when the going gets tough.

ISTG, Spaceguy these alliterations during your videos are great

It's always funny to me that the Gas Passer is awful in everything except for gamemodes like infection and mvm

About Medic, many of the most popular maps have Medigun spawns hard-set in certain areas, so with some map knowledge Medic can become the absolutely best option to pick

nice video. SZF is such an underrated gamemode. Also, recent update made: - Eureka Effect regen metal - Holiday Punch can do its stun from punching the back as well as a triple punch a la Gunslinger style

oh I thought this was a video of the recently added zombie survival gamemode

I've never read a better summary for how much trouble you're in from a particular sound cue than with "YOU'RE FUCKED.MP3"

another hidden fact: morale is now affected by infliction (human to zombie ratio) meaning that the more zombies there are, the more damage humans deal and less they take (and vice versa), which *seems(?)* to stack with the old (now hidden for some reason) morale system that changed with kills and deaths dynamically

love your vids mate keep up the good work

Here's a thing to consider If there's a gun for a slot that is empty you should still pick it up so you at least have something in that slot. No matter what it is.

21:26 best joke ive heard in a while

I started playing this gamemode after I saw the video and I got some weird and funny moments here are they : 1. I dominated 10 people with soldier, it was a weird match, I got last survivor buff when my last teammate was alive so probably it was bugged and somehow I managed to gain health on hit on the tank with the conch and what rocket launcher I was using ? The « 🇺🇸🗽🦅 » 2. How to make the entire zombie team fear you ( a server with a lot of people in ) : Step 1 : use the batalions backup, Step 2 : no rocket launcher spawns in Step 3 : you melee 2 tank Step 4 : die to common infected Side not : if you are playing on a server with a few people in just use the bataillon. 3.It was an Alysium match, I was the jocky, I grab the medic, they didn’t come to save him, I was going to the cliff, he die att the moment he fall, I wasted the jocky ( My lawyer told me to not swear online ) So these was some high moment when I played this game mode and I’m still playing it, and here’s a tier list based on the fun you get by playing some class : C Tier : - Engineer : not fun to play, I feel like I’m in walking dead stupidity but the zombies are from l4d or the last of us. - Sniper : Skill issue - Spy : Skill issue and I’m not destroying the horde I’m just being a coward and miss a all my backstab Now the B tier : - Medic, high moments only if you are the last survivor with the blood succer or have a medigun - Scout : run shoot, run shoot, run and die because of skill issue - Heavy : Not a bad class but, just the overused joke but stronger. And Now the A/S tier : - Demoman a.k.a Demoknitgh : just watch Solar tf2. - Pyro : doing combo’s than just being brainless - Solder : I melee 2 tank and survived I don’t even need a rocket launcher I just need the batallion and that’s it they f fear me. So why are you still reading the comments go play it !

Les goooooooooooooooooooooooooo also i like this where time lines and you're animations is improving

Hold up, was that the Duke of Flies at 1:22?

One small note of the Hunter Scream, it is as equally terrifying as a Cloaker scream

Be really careful mercenaries, if you smell like urine, the zombies will catch you

Hey that's my server! Doubt youll read this but thank you for playing. We've made a lot of class/map updates if you ever stop by again :)

wish this was more popular

Spaceguy when he’s about to talk about a new class “Lemme drop fire bars real quick”

Been watching ever since I randomly found you in a match I got, been loving the content ever since dude. Much love.

I sign the oath

Thanks for making these tierlists

nice video dude i really liked it

Finally it is here great video can't wait for people to join on this server now!

This is what 6 years of no update dose to a community

Just a bit of extra historical context for people new to the zombie gamemodes: this is *Super* Zombie Fortress. Zombie Fortress is much different, and is much more primitive, than Super Zombie Fortress. In ZF, only Scout, Spy, and Heavy can be zombies. ZF also lacks a lot of the L4D inspired abilities, such as weapon pickups.

24:16 Demoman pours scrumpy into his eye socket

22:26 "Make sure you move with them and aren't doing a halo Reach" GOT ME LAUGHING

thanks for the info. also I didn’t expect you to use the old rocket jumper model.

You forgot the vita-saw (But lets be honest it would be a parasite because it’s benefit is literally useless since you can’t respawn as a human in this game mode)

One notable thing about this gamemode, as far as I can tell from the footage, is how it’s like Zombie Escape (ZE) with L4D Special Infected (S.I) in the mix. And since *said* S.Is are made with specific purposes for a 4v4 gamemode, not for ZE and its generally huge player pool, it’s unsurprising that Jockeys and Charger, 2 of L4D’s pick classes, suck in a huge player environment.

Man, a LOT of the game modes just make scout hella OP xD

Hey, I just want to say that I really enjoy your consistent use of alliteration, and I find it rather entertaining to think of how you manage to perfectly pair partners of poetic punctuation in a process of producing peerless phrases that penalize poor pronuciation but which allows people with proper punctuation to profit powerfully. (This look a long time)

This version of Zombie Fortress helped me make my best TF2 friend, so this game has always been my favorite

I think something to take in note for scout is that zombie fortress is an OLD MOD and in the older versions of it, you couldn't play scout as a survivor. So most of the maps made for this gamemode did not have scout as a survivor in mind. When the gamemode got revamped, and allowed all classes to play as both survivors and zombies, scout was very strong, as he could easily out outmanoeuvre any zombie, and could get into hard to reach to almost impossible places on maps unless you were a zombie scout.

Tank Zombie Type: Solo *Rip* *And* *Tear* pure fear right there

great video! enjoyed it throughout

Wait, didn't you say there was a special infected called "The Stalker" and that it was basically just a better zombie spy, where was it's entry?

an ample amount of alliteration, almost addictive

loved that alliteration

bro the little animations that happen are FUNNY i like the one at 34:07

fell asleep halfway through this and woke up watching the zombie escape video and was so confused

Amazing alliterative autiovisual activity. Always appreciated.

Huh, I had played an mvm variant of this game mode before but never the real deal, that's fun! Thank you for making discover yet another zombie fortress game mode

Very interesting, despite i never played the mode before. Also, those transitions are great

24:21 ARGENTINA MENTIONED!! VAMOS CARAJO!!!

Well, you've convinced me to give this a shot. Seems like fun!

why could'nt they put a bonk effect on the charger each time he charges? that would solve the charge problem.

1:20 WHAT IS ISAAC DOING IN TF2 very cool tho

Jesus your alliterations are godly dude. I love it

"Make sure to pop it and not drop it." Ah, I see we are going with the classic and old reliable strategy of Ubers.

I was watching this on a blazing hot day and I passed out at the heavy section and woke up half-way through the Jockey. 10/10, would pass out again

he just keeps whippin out those jokes

I fucking love all the alliteration

Imma pray for the old rushy servers regulars. Y’all were fun to play with

"Which Is even easier thanks to you're go go gadget range" 20:45

I don't know why the image of a boomer with a beer in hand and a chef's hat on his head in an outdoor barbecue is what made me keep returning to this video

I’d argue that the amputator is the best melee weapon the medic can have since it’s the only weapon other than the medigun that can heal teammates. Given it’s not much but when you’re a medic but it’s better than nothing if you can’t find a medigun
