    This game is legendary, and nowadays its actually good, when you play with friends its fun.

But I still find this game repetitive, I'm a player who has 450 hours on Left 4 Dead 2, and I've already played all the maps on the expert very many times, but then I got bored with my friends, so I had another idea to download the maps from the workshop, I played that with my friends, but after many many many hours we had the feeling that we've played all the good maps on the workshop. And we had nothing to do but to play the classic maps. Once a week I turn the game on with my friends and we have fun, and yes once a week and anyway 1 game at the best chance we give 2. because if we play it every day we don't enjoy it. The cool thing about this game is that there are a lot of weapons, and that CO-OP mode where you have to help your friends, you have to revive them. But like I said we turn it on once a week and play something else.… Expand

    Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло. Очень Большое Зло, Геральт, это такое, которого ты и представить себе не можешь, даже если думаешь, будто уже ничто не в состоянии тебя удивить. И знаешь, Геральт, порой бывает так, что Очень Большое Зло схватит тебя за горло и скажет: «Выбирай, братец, либо я, либо то, которое чуточку поменьше»Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло.

    L4D2 is definitely a classic, but it's also greatly overrated. The co-op gameplay boils down to covering your friends and reviving them when they go down. In most cases, the friendly AI can be more reliable than humans who will refuse to cooperate and be completely incompetent. The PvP modes are a nightmare of toxicity and pointlessness.

    I was not into online co-op games since I had more interest in single player games. Things changed after I started playing Killing Floor and a year later I grabbed Left 4 Dead 2 on sale for a better experience. As for me L4D2 is equally good as any other masterpiece by Valve.

Left 4 Dead isn't about surviving in a post-apocalyptic world swarmed with zombies, it is not about killing zombies with AK-47 and Molotovs, either - Left 4 Dead is about having fun with your friends: who killed more infected, who killed more special infected, who caused more damage to Tank, etc. When you play Left 4 Dead 2 alone or with people you don't know this competetive aspect of the game dissappears and the game doesn't have much to offer beside that: the story is barely there, the characters are just "there", the gameplay is pretty shallow and repeatable - if you want to get lost in some imaginary world and forget about your **** boss or something L4D2 isn't the best place to do it, I would even say it is the worst place to do it because of how little the game requires you to use your brain so there is nothing left for you to to do except thinking about how you hate your job, your boss and what a failure you actually are.… Expand

    The game is good but very repetitive, there seems to be a story, but when I was a kid it was very good, I would say it is the best game in the world.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Definitely one of the best game I played. It is relatively old(2009) and is stil fun, but has its flaws. All modes are pretty cool. PvE modes like campaign or survival are fun with friends. PvP mode - versus is fun only with friends. Joining a random game will probably dissappoint you. You will have to play with braindead, toxic people while the opponent team will always be more-coordinated. It would be better to have a premade 4 v 4 match. Otherwise 90% of matches will suck. Playing as infected sometimes sucks. There are situations where your charges will not land, your jockeys won't jump on survivors. Game is flooded with cheaters who are insatisfactory with having no friends, so they have to ruin your games. Chargers changing directions, jockeys dropping you out of the window and insta-killing you( on official unmodded servers). Most maps are anti-infected, many open maps render it impossible for boomer to sucessfully attack. Versus is only about how fast can you run, if you want fun go play campaign with friends.… Expand

    Pretty good co-op zombie game that broke a lot of new ground in its time. Today however, I feel that even if the game is still pretty solid and fun, it's just outclassed by a lot of other co-op shooter titles like Borderlands 2/The Pre-Sequel, Payday 2, Destiny 2, Vermintide, etc...

    Fun, replayability, and more fun. I absolutely love this game, a definite must have for PC. The entire campaign is a blast to play and with the implementation of new special zombies, I found it even more enjoyable than the first one.

    It remains one of the most distinctive co-operative titles out there, and allows for some of the most nerve-searing team-based multiplayer gaming on the market.

    Whereas once we treated Left 4 Dead as a stopgap between Half-Lifes, this is no longer a weird little side project with modest expectations, and Valve is confident enough to play around with it, safe in the knowledge that you can trust your players. Left 4 Dead proved it. And whereas that game had a personality, this one is overflowing with it.
