Gamers Are Hacking the Left 4 Dead Demo

[MrKLM]

Shacknews is reporting that already hacking has begun in the Left 4 Dead Demo. Check it out:

Fans have had a field day with exploring what's possible in Valve's Left 4 Dead since the demo for the PC version was unlocked for pre-order customers yesterday. After less than 48 hours, a bit of trickery has yielded split-screen play, playable zombies from the versus mode, and even an old friend of Counter-Strike fans, the classic map de_dust.

User TheBusGuy on the Steam forums has written a "guide" to playing with two players on one PC. It requires the use of an Xbox 360 controller connected to the PC, but assuming the player has a controller it's a relatively easy process.

Meanwhile, fans anxious to test drive the zombies from the versus mode can get their fix--in the single-player game, anyway. Another Steam forum thread by user Scuzball explains how to switch over to the undead side and start a game against 4 AI survivors using just a few console commands.

Some players, like Steam user TIHan, are anxious to get started on custom mapmaking for the game. He discovered that Left 4 Dead already has rudimentary support for custom maps when he loaded up Dust, the timeless Counter-Strike map.

I wouldn't call it hacking.

Also i was just on a server with godmode and unlimited ammo on or something.


This same round a human changed sides to infected.

see this is why we need to like hack the beta and not just play it to find all the kinks in the game

It's not hacking, and you can play as boss infected in multiplayer, it's not limited to single player. You just have to have sv_cheats on on the server.
