Left 4 Dead 360 hacking

Left 4 Dead modding is by necessity going to be best on the PC, but that's not to say you can't have your fun on the 360. Attack of the 50 Foot Francis! Crackdown style superjumps! Liliputian teammates! It's all done by instituting PC-type console commands on the 360 via a hacked hard drive.

The worry — a good one — is griefing, but I dunno, I think this looks kind of fun. Well, right up to the point that a colossal, skyscraper-sized Louis spots me across the map in Versus and peppers twelve city blocks with buckshot.

The problem is that in adversarial mode you can spawn a ton of zombies and automagically win.

I like the "sorry, no more tutorial...I was not expecting all of this." which surprises me since it would imply that the author is not familiar with any multiplayer game ever.

Being able to have the console on on 360 does sound pretty cool though, provided you can only do it offline. I've had a lot of fun screwing around with that stuff in a lot of games.

The guy just noclipped into the 3dskybox of the map to appear giant. You can't actually do anything in there, and it only looks cool to everyone else.

Valve say they've already fixed this. http://www.joystiq.com/2008/12/10/left-4-dead-gets-hacked-on-360/
