The Hive (Left 4 Dead 2)

Update: A serious issue that caused low-spec computers (or systems with low graphic settings configured in L4D2) to crash has been fixed. I hope this seriously improves your experience with this campaign

The Hive is a remake of the Hospital from 'Resident Evil: Nemesis', the 'Spencer Mansion' from GameCube's 'Resident Evil' and the entire 'Hive' from the 2002 Resident Evil movie, among other memorable locations. Players will get to explore their favourite RE locations in the triple remake of the Resident Evil universe. Built to mirror everything seen exactly as it was, no feature has been left out. Both the Hospital and the Hive have been linked seamlessly.

Descend 1 Mile underground to experience the fear of Claustrophobia and flesh eating infected combined. Visit 'Dining Hall B', disable the Red Queen, get spliced up by the lasers, find the T-Virus.

Can you escape the hive?

NOTE: This campaign does NOT have any puzzles and I do not plan to put any puzzles in this campaign. It is not feasible to do so and would kill the pacing of the campaign and the purpose of it. Please understand this when you go to comment or leave a review

Some more bot nav issues that really annoy me: map 2 - After the big room panic event (before EMP & laser trap), bots don't have the nav to get to the hallway afterwards. If I go into the computer room where the EMP is, they try to walk a long way around to get to where I am and sometimes come up from the other way (up from the sewers below the red queen), which gets them instantly killed. (then again they would've died anyway in the trap) The only way to make sure that I don't end up waiting forever to be able to pick up the EMP is to stay in the hallway after the big room and hope the bots teleport spawn to my location. map 4 - When the path goes through the office area you have to escape from before the big door closes, bots seem to have zero nav. I've tried twice was pounced by a jockey both just before I could pass through the big door and in the side stairwell leading down to the level with the door, and bots didn't make any effort to get to me. In the stairwell I even confirmed in console that there were "survivorbot will not help incapped" messages.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, can I confirm if you're using the gamemaps version of this campaign or the steam workshop version?

Thank you very much for confirming, I will work on an update to fix the broken textures

fpelayo last month

Problem with map 4: for the "pry open the elevator" path near the beginning, I'm holding E but the elevator won't open even after I push my bots close to the elevator to avoid any waiting for teammates issue.

texeon 2 weeks ago

Hi fpelayo, can I ask if all bots have jumped into the elevator shaft and are on top of the elevator? If not then the trigger will always say 'wait for all players to be ready'

fpelayo 2 weeks ago

No they can't be on top of the elevator when the doors to the shaft wouldn't even open. Strangely, I tried starting straight from map 4 and didn't get that problem a 2nd time, but when I tried for a full playthrough I got the problem in a different area... On map 3, when the random path was thru the flooded lab, I had opened the metal door to the lab but there were common infected behind it so the door closed back up. But even after I killed everything that could be blocking the door, I wasn't able to re-open and got the "wait for everyone to be ready" message each time I tried. Something is only allowing one open attempt on your "wait for everyone" doors so if something out of my control prevents me from going through and the door closes back up, I'm screwed with no 2nd chances.

Hey, regarding the elevator I apologise as I misread your inital question. Rather than holding E, can you please press E and see if it opens the elevator doors. The label is misleading because you don't actually need to hold e to pry the doors open. Sorry for the confusion, hopefully pressing E fixes the issue. Regarding the map 3 grate that was getting blocked, zombies should not spawn on top until after you open it, the reason being is that there is an invisible 'hurter' trigger in the entire space above the grate that only disables once the grate has been opened by the player. Until then any zombie that spawns inside it including specials will be killed. I'll check to see if I can put a 'damaging' property that if the grate is blocked by something it causes damage until it moves or until it dies. Can I ask when you play the campaign, is it using dedicated servers or a local server on your computer? If it is a local server can I confirm if you're using the no clipping cheat to fly around? If so then you may be triggering invisible triggers that is causing the campaign pathing events to glitch out, but by the sounds of it you're not using the 'noclip' cheat.

I play Single Player, so it's local with no cheats. And I was definitely pressing E repeatedly around the map 4 elevator, not holding it down. I guess I'll try to play through several more times and see if encounter more weirdness in those 2 spots.

myljach last month

Good job, no crash like before in map 3, for all 5 players on server. If i remeber, fix for crash was change settings of memory pool.

texeon last month

Hi myljach, yeah there was a corrupted stair-case model on map 3 that for some reason was sucking more memory than normal from the map. I replaced and fixed it and now for most people it won't crash any longer. Thanks for playing :)

GhostRanger556 last month

It crashes... :(

myljach last month

Try change paged pool memory available to medium or high, i was have same issue if is set to low (less mem to faster connect to server and loading game) It is in options/video/advanced options

great map

By PeanutButterJellyZed May 2020

Very well done map! Despite all the possible paths the way the map is laid out its still easy to find your way around. Bots are slow but they can get to you in most situations.

EXCELENT

By kondoriyano March 2020

one of my favourite map on L4D2 and its perfectly take atmosphere from resident evil movie

Amazing campaign

By Victorngac July 2019

I played it and I could say that I liked it too much, both in the musical background, the texture, the appearance of the zombies of the left 4 dead 1 and that you use the survivors in that campaign, it could be said that I had a little inconvenience when playing , but the benefits of this campaign are greater, so in my case I hope a campaign that may be possible to pass but in the form of a challenge, that is to experience the pressure, and the emotion that everything goes well, you made a great job and thank you very much, keep it up !!! :)

Awesome!!!

By arielbaez September 2018

An awesome job. It has so much of its creator that I even feel that he himself is by my side helping me and guiding me to know how to move forward. Not only that, but it is not always the same road. In addition, it has an impressive atmosphere, as if it were inside the movie. So far, it is the best mod that exists in L4D2. However, it could improve. 1- I could never play the third level. Because the game comes out and sends me to the desk. 2- it is very short and I know I ask too much, because the creator nobody pays to update it. 3- It would be great if it had one more level of "Run and escape" type. 4- It would also improve if I let myself use other skins of my preference. Because every mod is good, but it is better if you put your interpretation of the environment. And 5- No matter the negative. The creator is a genius.

Unique, lots of work went into it, but...

By hedleyLamar August 2018

I imagine that this campaign might be for a select audience, because the Resident Evil movie is just not my thing, so the novelty of a campaign based on its location is lost on me. So I will just have to judge on its playability merits, so here it is. A lot of the architecture in the first map is really small and crowded - The streets and general area in front of the hospital seem half the size they should be, similar with the hallways and rooms. You can't really move around smoothly, and there is a claustrophobic feel because of the small scale. While this might be the aesthetic attempt, it doesn't add to the playability factor or the fun for me. I liked the searching of corpses, and they were lit up nicely to find. The second map also has some construction that made for bland gameplay for me and my friends - long straight narrow hallways tied together, and a big, square, arena like room with obstacles arranged like a grid. Again, they might represent something that is meaningful for the fans of the movie, but I don't think that type of construction makes for interesting gameplay - at least not dynamic enough to want to revisit after the novelty wears off. The laser trap room was clever, and there seems to be a good amount of custom content. There is something about the lighting, though, that looks flat - like this is running on a game engine that is a couple of generations old. It could be that there are some light fixtures in the construction that don't cast light on their surroundings, or something else, but it looks old. I would imagine that the look could be improved with more dramatic and vibrant lighting. Like most others, my game crashed on map 3, and by that time, I had seen enough to know that I wasn't up to revisit this campaign again. I really appreciate the amount of work and creativity that went into this campaign, but from a playability level, it really suffers in my opinion from the small scale and claustrophobic nature of the first map, the long, straight maze of halls and grid arena in the second, and the crash in the third. In my opinion, navigating and exploring maps is more interesting with a reasonable scale and paths to traverse, and the fun of L4D2 combat is extinguished in narrow hallways and obstacle grids.
