I have been thinking about telling something about me. Just miscellaneous things. But everytime i think about it, there is only one thought: who care?
I've been here a bit too long, believing in something. But it backfired.
New ADS collection ?
I found an irl friend who play L4D2, so i guess i will get back to it soon.
Meanwhile you can check this out:

Thank you for explanation! My gf and I love to play duo on highest diff (not realism) and we love to play slowly and more careful, it feels kinda tactics, but i would call it immersive I guess. And your mod adds another layer of immersion, which is awesome! I will be waiting to see your future projects!

Once again, i fully understand your feedback, but it's just impossible in normal way (and of course impossible for official server) because of the way Valve made L4D2.

Despite that, every time i join a "casual game", people are either too noob or too pro, and ADS just limit my performance. As gamer myself, i took my ADS to harder game (Realism Expert and Hard Eight Expert), where ADS's disadvantage exposes the most in true fast pace teamwork. Seeing how it turned out, i discontinued my collection and came up with different ADS which is the YT video i sent before. (you can also check my ADS gameplay in collection and mod).

I think most people who use my ADS are playing L4D2 the tactical way, in their own game. Whichever way they enjoy my mod, it's function is just the same with any other gun mod to make it official server friendly; though due to my poor experience it's not very offline-friendly.
I didn't make them to be used widely, but i respect those who want to have some realistic sense of holding a deadly weapon in hand.

When i know having such feature (like in COD, Killing Floor, ...) for L4D2 is impossible in normal way, i took a thorough inspect of those game to see for a fast pace, how people (player + dev) would use ADS in gameplay. Compare to L4D2, i then decide that my ADS would be to add a bit of tactical to casual game (i.e. Realism Advanced or easier) to prevent it from being too easy that make me feel bored and just rush forward in one piece (i know you can just pick Expert diff but i have some friends who just want Advanced). In other hand, aiming consecutively makes me "feel" like it's more accurate, and keeps me from going too far away knowing i'm not as capable as when not ADS.

Thanks for your careful and professional feedback. I see you're capable of understanding what's going on, so let's start.

Everything you pointed out are correct. My ADS mod brings nothing but disadvantage to every possible way you play L4D2, cuz it was Not designed to be tactical, it was arcade-like, casual, instant fun (well at least i think so). There are absolutely no reason for normal people to pick my mod. However it's all an attempt to experience something new, something i've been waiting for too long, something people can't imagine what would it turn out to be.

From what I saw and felt while playing, the main thing that disturbs me is that you can't shoot without aiming. The "aiming" itself needs to shoot more accurate and in l4d mechanics aiming equals walking or crouching for best results. But you can't always move slow and in that scenario, when you have to run n gun automatic aiming becomes your enemy in some kind. The gun's bullet spread won't let you hit the target where you aiming at even in a close range sometimes and with a gun and iron sight covering your view at the center it becomes even harder to shoot in a close range. So for "while running" and "close range" I would prefer just shooting like in vanilla but without crosshair. Because there is no stealth mechanics in l4d there is no need to walk or crouch otherwise you want to shoot accurately, this is why I wanted to aim only while pressing shift.

I hope my feedback might help you achieve your goals, I appreciate your work!
