About Left 4 Dead 2

Left 4 Dead 2 is Valve's beloved cooperative zombie shooter, released in 2009 and still played by a large community today. You and up to three friends play as one of four survivors — Coach, Ellis, Nick, or Rochelle — fighting through campaigns in the American South, from a rooftop in Savannah to a carnival and a swamp. The game's genius is the AI Director, which dynamically adjusts enemy spawns, item placement, and special infected attacks based on how well you are doing, so no two runs are the same. Special infected like the Hunter, Smoker, and Tank force constant teamwork, and the versus mode lets players take control of the infected team. It is fast, funny, and endlessly replayable, with a workshop full of custom campaigns. The melee weapons — frying pans, katanas, and chainsaws — add a gloriously satisfying layer of carnage.
