Shaun of the Left 4 Dead mod in the works

Grab a Cornetto and get down the pub, as Left 4 Dead modders are hard at work on a campaign that allows you to play through the locations of the hit movie Shaun of the Dead.

Here is a rundown of the five chapters, according to the site of modding group Left4Winchester:

Chapter One – Shaun’s Pad
Players start in the shed (found in Shaun’s backyard), equiped with Left 4 Dead’s First Tier weapons, and they must work their way through Shauns house, onto the street, and through the neighbourhood to the backroom of the Corner shop.

Chapter Two – Mum’s House
Players start in the backroom of the cornershop, and must work their way to Shaun’s Mum’s House, where the map ends.

Chapter Three – Lizz’s Flat
Players start in Mum’s House, and must work their way to Lizz’s Flat (expect some troubles along the way) where they enter the backside of the building and take safety inside Lizz’s Flat.

Chapter Four – To the Winchester
Players start in Lizz’s Flat and must work their way outside, then through some tough situations and onto the Winchester, where they find safety in the backroom (or so they think…).

Chapter Five – Survive the Winchester
Players start in the backroom of the Winchester Pub, and must survive inside long enough for the power to come on (allowing them to use the lift found in the cellar), as well as wait long enough for the APC to arrive (Upon exiting the Lift).

As you can see from the above screenshots, the mod is coming along nicely although the website says there is much work to be done, and the fear of the legal ramifications of copying a film may exacerbate things further.

This fan-made effort is not the only link between Shaun of the Dead and Left 4 Dead however, as Valve recently revealed that you’ll be able to knock the undead for six with the addition of a cricket bat to Left 4 Dead 2.

When playing Left 4 Dead always remember, “There is no “I” in team, but there is an “I” in pie. And there’s an “I” in meat pie. Meat is the anagram of team…”.
