German Left 4 Dead 2 gets bonus weapons!

[Rukus.]

I recently learned that German versions of Left 4 Dead 2 get weapons from Counter Strike! This includes the MP5, AWM (AWP in america), SSG-552, Steyr Scout, and the Combat Knife. They of course get these as a substitute for the blood and gore that is missing in their version of the game.

The weapons can be obtained by others by either having a player with the German version of the game present (like the preorder bat) or by re-installing by going into your steam settings and changing your download location to Germany, but remember, no gore that way.

Yaaay! We get CS:S weapons that look horribly out of place. Awesome!
They don't sound like Left 4 Dead, they don't look like Left 4 Dead, they clip through everything...
Yeah man, these weapons make the game so much more fun! :glare:

I don't need or want Counter Strike weapons in my zombie apocalypse. Especially since the censored L4D2 is horrible. No gore, no blood, no Riot Cop Infected and the dead bodies disappear right infront of your eyes before they can even fall to the ground! CS:S weapons don't make this more enjoyable.

yeah, I mean c'mon, what could be more gratifying than being able to get the decap acheivement with a "ninja sword" or machete, and dont forget the chainsaw!

So if you are from Germany couldn't you do the opposite (change dl location) to get the gore/original weapons?

They would most likely also do an IP check of your location

This. When I tried to purchase the uncut version of Bioshock through Steam I still got the german version.

You tried using a NA proxy for the DL/install? That might do it for ya.

What if you import a serial from and uncut region (UK / USA) then add through steam? Is it still censored?

If I buy a retail copy or a serial key from another country the game will be 100% uncut. That's why my L4D, L4D2 and TF2 are completely uncensored.

Blood and gore > more weps.

this is the classic gameplay vs graphics debate. IF i bought l4d2 I would get the censored version just because it runs smoother. additional weapons is just a pleasant side effect

 

[Haggus McGee]

You can try them out on single player, but you have to give them to yourself with cheats, and then make a new game again after that for them to do damage... The SG 552 or whatever is just incredible.

Also you get them 50% of time when you play with another German.

TBH it is a good soloution to the problem of people being banned for their IP.

If it was just raw graphical input, sure, that'd be fine.

But playing the censored version does remove the Riot Cop infected from all the games you join; no one gets to fight them. And you kinda force your weapons onto everyone else at the same time, though that is less of an annoyance.

People will dislike you every time you try to play The Parish.

This is fake.

Though the Germany edition is censored as well as Australia's.

Oh trust me, the censored version is much, much less fun.
If you rather buy a horribly censored version of a game because it runs smoother, I'd suggest that you start upgrading your hardware. I played both, the censored and the normal version and I didn't notice a difference in the performance at all.

lolno
