2 of us - Low player count mutation

Description
Rebalances the game to make it fun for 2 players. You can still play 1-4 players if you want.

Sometimes, you just can't get 4 people together, the bots can feel like dead weight that eat your medkits, but you need 4 people worth of guns to play the game. The goal was to rebalance the game so it can played with 2 people while still feeling like vanilla L4D2. Ideally, the players shouldn't notice the changes, and should have a success rate similar to if they were playing 4 player.

The most noticable change will likely be the lack of Jockeys and Chargers, as with them it was to easy for survivors to pinned at the same time.

UPDATE- Works in normal and realism modes.

IMPORTANT- If the game crashes on map change with an error message about survivors, that is a bug related to using custom character mods on a listen server. You can prevent most of these crashes by either turning off custom characters, or by doing the following-
-Right click L4D2 in steam
-go to properties-set launch options
-add
+precache_all_survivors 1

NOTE- I'm not sure, but it seems some custom campaigns overwrite some of the settings in the mutator. There's nothing I can really do about that.

Hope you enjoy it. Let me know what you think, and thanks for playing. ^_^

I was looking for a mod like this the entire time. I do not know if the person who made this mod is still alive? But I want to say thanks & stay safe.

Mod still currently works, but I wanted to leave something for those that has the All 8 Survivors Mod, you'll need to config in your files - downsizing the party from 8 to 4 survivor bots/players.

If you still have 8 in your config, you'll have the bots appearing and then reappearing - and it will cause your game to slow down a lot.

That will be in sourcemod < cfg < l4d_max_survivors 8, the 8 value should be changed to 4.

It doesn't work!

This still works perfectly in 2022! Thank you very much for making this. :D

@Susan: You'll need to verify your files. This is a separate issue from the mod, and the mod itself shouldn't be causing that problem. If a file is always missing, it is probably because you have another addon that replaces those very things.

If the problem isn't still fixed, Susan, you'll need to unsubscribe from all of your mods. Start from vanilla, and uninstall this mod.

@Psycho: Works on Local Servers only.
