Don't forget, early on in the Sewers chapter before, at the gas station, you can see Mercy Hospital. If you're able to disable the director and watch the hospital, every now and then you'll spot the helicopter picking up survivors from the helipad.

One thing you didn’t mention: an X-Ray of an elongated neck. This could be seen as foreshadowing for the Spitter.

You forgot a cool Easter egg you can see from the streets, where a helicopter can be seen landing in the roof, implying there where other survivors who made it and got evacuated before the group reached the rooftop.

Having Zoey drop her 2nd pistol into the streets to explain why the survivors start with one pistol is such a Valve moment level of detail!

Another thing about the Payday 2 version of the No Mercy heist is that if you happen to escape by the morgue, you can see bodies actually moving and even hear growling, implying that this is an alternate non-cannon ending where the green flu outbreak does happen in the Payday universe. Bain will also mention how their pilot has "left them for dead" which I find funny.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Azth7erhFu8&t=356">5:56</a> - The achievement actually just continues the trend between Dead Rising and Left 4 Dead. In L4D1, there was an achievement for killing 53955* infected (1 more than Dead Rising). Dead Rising's next games then upped that by 1 additional kill with each subsequent instalment. L4D2 just adds on to the latest Dead Rising, and ups the kills by 1.<br>The reference to the number 4 is completely coincidental, but it's a cool coincidence.<br><br>We also know that Mercy Hospital still had other survivors while the L4D1 group were on the way. In map 3, you can see a helicopter picking up survivors from the rooftop every couple minutes. The hospital was only fully overrun mere minutes before the L4D1 survivors got there.<br><br>The PayDay 2 No Mercy mission was also confirmed by both dev studios to not be canon to L4D.<br><br>I've also got a fun fact to top things off: The News Chopper 5 pilot is referred to as "Todd" in the game files. His name is similar to the German word for "Death" - "Tod".<br><br>*Edited. I had the number wrong, thanks to MyUsersDark for correcting that.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Azth7erhFu8&t=469">7:49</a> Speaking of Payday No Mercy easter egg, in one of the locked rooms, you can peak through the little window and see a crying Witch in the dark room, and if you stand for a few seconds, it'll jumpscare the player

The L4D1 intro is such a masterpiece, I can't think of many other cinematics that manage to introduce the world, it's characters, the tone AND gameplay mechanics. And the way it seamlessly leads into the start of the game's first campaign is just incredible, chef's kiss.

Fun fact about Payday The Heist, it exists because the devs were huge fans of Left 4 Dead, and it inspired them to make a team based shooter with cops and heisters instead of survivors and zombies

Left 4 Dead 1's intro cutscene, and by extension No Mercy, is by far the best introduction to any game I've ever seen. Tells you everything you need to know about the universe, the characters, enemy types, and game mechanics. It's a masterclass in "Show, don't tell."
