    Left 4 Dead 2 is the pinnacle of zombie games. The zombie genre is filled with tons of trash and very few gems. But Left 4 Dead 2 just might be the shiniest gem of all. Valve and Turtle Rock studios kicked ass on this game. But is it still as great as YOU remember? Is it worthy of being called "MASTERPIECE?!" Only one way to find out...

    My first experience with Left 4 Dead was nothing but pure magic. Coming from Resident Evil: Outbreak, Re4, and Silent Hill. Left 4 Dead made me feel like I was in an actual zombie outbreak, where the whole city is in disarray. Chaos everywhere, and a simple, yet effective horde of zombies hunting you down. The adrenaline I felt running towards the first security door after accidentaly activating the alarm of a car nearby was out of this world. And the special infected? Man, what a ride.

    @gregstunts347 Год назад +50

    Imma rant list some things I loved while playing the game, that really showed me how much the developers cared as they made the game (keep in mind each point will probably be long):
    - An aspect of the gameplay that also makes it stand out from other games is the resource management. Especially in the advanced and expert difficulties, it can be extremely hard not to use all your healing items at the start, leaving you waiting for more. When you inevitably run out of heals, it gets extremely tense as you pray to the Director to spawn in less zombies and more medkits. You can’t revive forever without medkits, so you want to save them. But on the other hand, you may need to top up your health in case special zombies screw things over. The great thing is this game perfectly forces the player to ask themselves this dilemma for the sake of survival.
    - The insane amount of dialogue added into the game, often used in specific scenarios. For example they used completely new lines of dialogue for picking up items within the tunnel of love, a small area in the Dark Carnival campaign. (“Pipe bomb of love” etc). Completely random and very specific thing to add, yet surprising. Also, never got bored of the story dialogue when doing expert attempts. There would be sometimes up to 8 different lines that could be potentially spoken at any point, and often they’d give lines to different characters. For instance, after Ellis comes up with the idea of using the stock car in the mall to escape in the first campaign, a random person is chosen to react to the plan, and they react in different ways.
    - The fact that they made a fictional band and composed multiple songs for them to be played throughout some of the campaigns. I thought it was something very creative to add. The finale of the Dark Carnival, the Midnight Rider concert is always extremely fun to play.
    - Another thing I noticed when completing the mall in the first campaign was the fact that there are two paths made before starting the alarm on the third floor. One is always picked for you, the other is blocked. I noticed this because one path starts with you breaking the windows on the second floor, and the other floor was harder starting with you opening the door to the first floor area.
    - The game was extremely ahead of it’s time with teaching the players it’s mechanics. It shows the player small key points of information as you are slowly introduced to the mechanics. Small notes on the screen like “don’t disturb the witch” is infinitely better than spamming the player with information or taking away the control of the player.
    - Replayability. Besides the randomised spawn mechanics, this game has so much to do for each of the survival campaigns. Personally I loved the mutations, which often completely changes mechanics. Things such as last man alive, which forces you to play solo against special infected (common zombies removed), and gib fest, which gives you a L60 light machine gun with unlimited ammo. I also got around to playing a mutation that forces you to carry a gnome throughout the whole campaign that forces you to not use your gun and attracts zombies. It’s rare nowadays for games to add cheat codes to the end of games, but this is a step further.
    - Mad respect for the development team to work with the community last year to produce a new major update “The Last Stand”. It shows how even after a decade from release, the developers still care for the game enough to add new melee weapons, a new campaign and bonus achievements. I was fully expecting TF2 to get the continuing updates, while L4D2 would slowly loose it’s developers. Yet somehow it is the other way around.
    In conclusion, from the campaigns to any other aspect of the game, this is an absolute masterpiece and is one of the best games I ever played (a decade old game!).

    For me one of the great attractions was the seemingly endless dialogue you'd hear depending on the circumstances of the play-through. After 2 years of solid play I hurled a molotov at a witch playing as coach and started running, drawing the witch into the trap we had set and coach blurts out "outta my way - I've got a burning witch on my ass" like right on cue. Simply amazing. I'd never heard it before and this was after literally hundreds of hours of play. Laff'ed my fat coach ass right off.

      That was literally my favorite part of L4D. It felt like someone was telling the infected what to do sometimes. If someone was doing good, the infected chose to target them instead of the players who weren't killing as many zombies. Or if everyone was getting wrecked, the special infected would use their claws instead of their special attack.

I was making my way through the first level, and in the office cubicals, second level down, the director put one zombie in. A single female zombie, sitting at a lunch table, with a moldy sandwich in her hand, and waving at me. I sat, looking down on her in sheer terror, waited for a moment and put one in her head. She slumped down on the table, arm still slowly waving for several seconds before coming to a halt. I started at my screen for about 3 minutes before deciding to turn the Xbox off and watch a funny movie.i only wish the 360 had capture options on it.
