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...

Fun fact: Rochelle had over 75% of her voice lines cut in the final release. The recent Last Stand update brought most of those lines back so she actually has a personality now
This makes so much sense, she always had really good lines but she was always so quiet. Never knew the reason
@plentyness what
@plentyness nah honestly her character is boring anyways. I always think like “Coach, Ellis, Nick and....oh....her.” No disrespect to her voice actor tho, just valves fault really
@plentyness Ohhhhh, my autistic ass thought you were being legit lmao
Over 75%? what? it wasn't even 7%, let alone 75%
"Is left 4 dead 2 a masterpiece?"
Short answer: yes.
Long answer: fuck yes.
I don't care what you think, but this man right here is speaking fax
Lfd2 boycott community still in denial
And that right there good sir IS 📠
Actual long answer: What kind of stupid question is that? It's a masterpiece.
Longer answer: freakin friggiddy fucking yeah and yes
Left 4 Dead 2, a 2009 game that still has more than 10k daily active players. It ultimately proves its worth on a competitive environment where any AAA game will age quicker than a cheetah.
Ya the longevity proves how good it actually is. 90 percent of games die really fast.
That is because it cost 0.95 euro 🤣🤣 for broke people
@@iLaeyes Or maybe just because the game is better then 95% of all modern shooters released today.
Now playing it in vr
@@iLaeyes Laughing at people in poverty? Low blow. Really low blow.
My favorite part about the L4D2 Boycott group was the screenshot of the member's list when the game came out and they were all actively playing the game.
this was one of the funniest things i ever heard about in the gaming community
Seriously the boycott was so damn dumb. Releasing a sequel to L4D within a year after its release? I mean... fuck yeah, dream come true!
lol
I'll always remember lying on the ground yelling for my friend Zach to revive me and hearing "it's called left 4 dead not risk my neck saving your dumb ass". It was so perfectly delivered I couldn't hold a grudge
dang.
damm

Left 4 Dead 2 aged like a rock cause its still a solid game.
@MrZomBIE16 I'ma be honest, I don't remember making this comment
@@JustASideAccount so this comment aged like a fossil as well?
@@commandrubix239 I gotta agree at this point
it was so well made that graphically it holds up and has so much replay value that it almost never gets old.

"A masterpiece is something that is barely affected by the passage of time. Where many games age poorly or lose their appeal because something else comes along and does what they do better, a masterpiece is something you can always go back to, knowing you'll have a great time as if you played it like it was brand new." is such a good quote of yours that I will use it in numerous future debates
I agree with you about that quote
Same lol
Been quoting Actman since 2017 he has genuinely decent opinions/quotes
Not a bad quote, actually!
Fun fact also the special infected have their own noises when they spawn as well and you could memories them to understand which one spawned.
This is literally super well known. It's literally one of the main dev commentary points. "Players would be confused when dealing with the special infected at time, so we added music to each one to help good players who listened prepare before".
@@MrAwesomeHero1 youre fun. Must not be that well none cuz i didnt know about it and i played L4D2 since launch
@@rickkroll if you've been playing since launch and never noticed that; that's actually pretty sad lmao
@@MrAwesomeHero1 music AND unique noises.
@@rickkroll how did you not know that playing since launch?? It's literally insanely unique for every special infected. Boomer low piano tune, witches high pitched singing, etc. You had to be playing with the music off to not notice it🤣

L4D 2 is immortal. God tier. Its environment is legit scary with all the voices of zombies. The dialogues also are so realistic and we actually feel that we are surviving a zombie outbreak.
Other than Back 4 Blood, Left 4 Dead is still scare something out of me even though I know the surprise many times.
"Shit, okay. Yes, we are vampires, all of us are vampires."
i still play left 4 dead 2 on PC. it get's an average of 13,000 players at a time which is insane.
It's the one game I keep coming back to. I don't get bored of it
thats more than some new AAA games get. it was at 20,000 a couple days ago
Good to know it's still active
I try and play 1 but it’s dead unfortunately
@@stmsin 25,000 players few days ago.
*Patrolling the Mojave makes you wish for The Act Man to do a "Why the Mass Effect Trilogy was so awesome"*
He has returned.
The legend has once again returned.
Andromeda should be legally considered a hate crime
Act Man was right. You are damn fast
Haha how about “why is buzz MONSTOR jam so awesome?!
I love the fact that you can play this game over and over and still hear different dialogue from the survivors not to mention how in depth they all are
Taking an arrow to the knee is almost as bad as waiting for actman’s why skyrim is so awesome
Same for Killing Floor 2. You should try that game out has like over 12 hours of character and boss dialogues.
People keep saying this but i get the same dialogue begotten for years.
@@Slurpified I agree with you on that but you see the dialogue in l4d2 is random can be triggered in certain events so you don't have to hear it again for the rest of the playthrough, kf2 on the other hand despite me liking a lot of things about it, It just keeps using the same quotes as if they're some robots, I just kept hearing "this cat's back in the game" every time I heal myself and it gets a little annoying
@@SomeGuyWithABlueMask Oh yeah thats just battle chatter I have it turned off.
Want a game to be a masterpiece? You need Valve. Valve will always find a way to make a masterpiece
Artifact fk yeah
@@rinkashikachi Not that kind of masterpiece. Not that it was one to begin with.
This maybe true today but what happens as the old guard retires and dies off , I fear valve may never put out something like l4d ever again. I hope I'm wrong but I don't have high hopes.
@GoogleDancingIsraelis I doubt it the L4D1 fan base made damn sure of that
That's such an insane reputation to live up to. I do not envy those devs.
Left 4 Dead has cursed me from childhood by having amazing feeling guns with simplistic feedback that made me believe I had good aim, but now I can no longer adapt to recoil lmao
the smg and machine pistol feel broken with little burst headshots crouched or stopped standing
getting Gnome Chompski to the end of Dark Carnival is a true medal of honor
I still remember doing that, was honestly really fun but I bet I didn't think so when I was actually doing it
great memories with these games and early xbox live in general
Did it on expert a few months back
It’s the gaming version of saving private Ryan.
I remember just trying to do it to screw around and I actually did it
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.
Silent Hill isn’t really a zombie game.
@@BLAM5980 eh it’s close enough, either way he spittin fax
Not to mention that the L4D infection and resulting zombies are actually capable of reaching cataclysmic capabilities.
Buzz MONSTOR jam was pure magic too you know
Midnight you didn’t comment about Bloodborne... (Unless it’s confirmed idk)
Moved out of my parents house and had a hard time being able to talk to my younger sisters but one day i bought l4d2 for them on steam for like 2 bucks and played through the entire game in like 2 weeks. We had a absolute blast!
I once heard Coach say "RE GODDAMN LOADING". Must've been on xbox around 2013 or so. Never heard it again after picking up the game again a few years later on PC. Had anyone else ever heard this voice line? Was it my imagination?
Nick's "I have not, come this far, to die now." line is one of the rawest lines in gaming.
easily my biggest hype every time I fire up L4D2
Taking an arrow to the knee is almost as bad as waiting for actman’s why skyrim is so awesome
@@whiterunguard6415 Well that'll never happen because Skyrim is mediocre at best.
@@jffry890 O mediocre, that must be why it made it to game informers, screen rants, and polygons top 10 game of all time.
@@jffry890 skryim mediocre?
the explain to me in a way that makes it believable how Skyrim became the top 5 best game of all time. go on, i'm waiting.
Another completely underrated aspect of this game: offline co-op!
"ive been flipping off my british audience all this time"
"sorry about that mate" in aussie accent
I have so much nostalgia for Left 4 Dead 2 playing co-op with my friend in middle school. I (small Chinese boy) would always play Rochelle and my friend (skinny, white & nerdy type) was always Coach, that shit was so much fun. though the roleplaying we tended to do might have been verging on black face... (dont tell on me pls)
@@Scroolewse you sound cool as hell
split screen was possible xD
Except ai was dumb asf
I love how such a simple game can have infinite replayability without getting boring
I don't play a lot cause I have other games, but I always come back to it for a fun time once in a while
but it doesn't feel the same as it did back in ~2010 with the boys :(
L4d,l4d2 and tf2 will always be legendary games
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.
Valve's golden age was one of the best gaming experiences you could've ever had, in an age where games were already arguably at their peak.
Valve in my eyes is the only triple A game studio that has made none true bad games (except artifact) but they quickly cleaned up their act with Half Life Alyx.
To have begun pc gaming with games like this was a god damn blessing. Thanks volvo.
@@apollorizingbsg9754 Didnt they make Dota 2?
But yeah in their prime there games were atleast ok.
Valve or Volvo lol
We took the 7th generation consoles for granted....holy fuck triple A games just aren't the same anymore in my opinion. Most of them are just monetized for years to come, rarely true passion is put in.
Surprised Act Man doesn't mention the number 1 tactic for messing around with teammates:
Closing the safe room door before they can enter.
Taking an arrow to the knee is almost as bad as waiting for actman’s why skyrim is so awesome
@@whiterunguard6415 stfu spammer
Bruh what about playing on a hard difficultly and downing your teammates before they get in the escape vehicle thus giving a quick end to the level.
i once trapped a dude in the corner as a jockey next to the safe house. the others made it in but the horde was at the door. a zombie stopped the others from hitting the dude. eventualy they opened the door and died
Omfg my buddy did that to me lol
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!).
One thing he forgot to mention about the maps is that they almost never feel like a closed off one way path.
That sad moment when your friend sacrifices himself so you could get to the escape vehicle at the end
On the Sacrifice level, my friends and I were arguing on who should go do the sacrifice and our friend who was playing Bill, just did it by himself without telling anyone. I read the actual comic afterwards so I was surprised how accurate we were
I would sacrifice my life for buzz MONSTOR jam
I'm so glad that you pulled off what everyone was thinking by getting Angry Joe onboard for the intro
I’ll be glad when it’s buzz MONSTOR jam instead

Left 4 Dead 2 will always be known as an... "TIMELESS MASTERPIECE" in PC gaming history !!!
even the xbox version too! met one of my bestfriends there. the game was just built different lmao
I sunk so much time into it on 360 with a buddy
Fun fact: the reason the backwards peace in the uk is a swear word is from back when wars were fought with long bows the solider would show those 2 things to the enemy before battle basically saying “ see these, imma kill u with these if u don’t fuck off” and when enemy soldiers were captured they would cut those 2 fingers off so they could never fire a long bow again
"Shoot anything that moves, especially your teammates"
Every multiplayer game with friendly fire on, in a nutshell
Hardcore mode
Buzz MONSTOR jam is the best multiplayer game
friendly fire is the epitome of "i can't see what im shooting at and you look like the enemy!"
That shit hits harder when you main a shotgun and some dumbass decided to go in front of you in expert mode

I remember that the quicker you do the levels the easier they are bc the director will send more hordes the longer you stay.
The way the director tried to lure you into a false sense of security and then absolutely fuck you is such a masterful piece of game design. That near constant sense of “I have a bad feeling about this”.

L4D2 and Deep Rock Galactic remain the greatest coop shooters ever made. Nothing else comes close to their intuitive teamwork, excellent balance and endless replayability.
Vermintide 2?
@@weaponizedautism3269 ...No. It had some nice ideas, but its pacing was relentless compared to the measured and varied pacing of both DRG and L4D, its class balance has been all over the place historically, its progression system is grindy and full of redundancy, and it has neither mod/custom level support - to my knowledge - nor procedurally generated content.
As for teamwork, what I experienced was far less inherent teamwork and incentivization than in DRG or L4D.
Vermentide 2 requires more teamwork on cata then drg and l4d2
And there are many custom mods and workshop shit for it too. And there is a good balance between characters too although it does kind of fell short and i agree with progression system . It's Grindy and a bit boring
I re-visited Left for dead 2 like a month ago with a friend. I don't regret even a single second.

i remember being absolutely terrified anytime i was alone as survivors, entire team dead, 25 health, and it being way too quiet, suspiciously quiet, nothing scares you in that game quite as much as that
Expert, you and a teammate, low health, and no ammo/supplies, it's realism difficulty so your team doesn't respawn and you can't see your teammate, and it's dead silent.

Or that one smoker that pulls you away from your homies 😂 damn smokers

For me is that one witch that is blocking that one stairway in Dark Carnival and it's the only stairway you have to cross before going to activate the merry-go-round
69,000 zombies were harmed in the making of this video.
Also, IMMA BE A ONE MAN CHEESEBURGER APOCALYPSE!
Hahahahahaa more like one man cheeseburger buzz MONSTOR jam!
You should change your YT username to that:
A one man cheeseburger apocalypse
You mean 69,420 zombies.
It's not even the theme that is satisfying in the finale. It's when the tune kicks in and you know you have to get out of there making a dash for it through the horde with survivors panicking and telling you it's time to go and you see the transport leaving the scene with the infected chasing you before the theme plays. It's just awesome
I absolutely love how moddable this game is with the Workshop. I also find the sound design to be absolutely terrifying, and I love it. With games like Overwatch, hearing some line shouted in another language is just like 'Oh, well, guess I'm gonna die...', while hearing something like a Smoker's raspy cough, or a Jockey's manic, unhinged laughter sends me in to a state of sheer terror as I can't yet see what made the sound, and whatever it is, barring a Boomer or Spitter, can pin me to the ground, helpless to defend myself.
I'm genuinely curious how they pulled this off... IN 7 MONTHS
Bro the online coop modded lobbies are nutty.
I cant describe the horror I felt when smash mouth starts playing, and shrek comes out in place of the Tank.
Truly one of the games of all time.
I concur
You should make more left4dead2 coaching
We all do pal, we all do.
Ey I knew you would show up for L4D
Buzz MONSTOR jam
finish the campaign review series!
The angry joe cameo was a splendid touch
I did not see that coming but I should have since they have a very similar way of analysing games not to mention their shared sense of humor. Of course these two are friends.
Yeah that was cool as shit
L4D2 is definitely one of my favorite games. Still have a blast playing it to this day, despite how much I've played it.
Few days ago, me and a couple of friends were playing no mercy on advanced. On the third attempt on the final scene, we were slaughtered within seconds. One of us being charged off the roof, rest of us all got grabbed eigher by smokers or hunters. Laughed so much I begin seeing static.
My gaming clan use to hold a Left 4 Dead "Literally" night where we would play vs and it would be every man for himself and whoever got the furthest would get points. You could choose to help someone, but usually people would not turn back to help. It was a lot of fun, and it was to teach the newbies to the game not to waste time exploring every inch slowly like a normal RP game and to get to the safe room quickly and efficiently.
L4d2 still has one of the best gore systems I've seen, the gut shot with entrails hanging out is phenomenal
Agreed.
You’re right, L4D2 also has one of the gore systems I’ve seen.
it is
@@boyloftus true it really is one of the
So true, I also agree L4D2 still has one of the gore systems.
still to this day, hearing the sound of a hunter growling gives me chills, especially when my whole team has died and im making a dash to the safe room
Nothing and I dare to say nothing will beat the cry of a witch, if you with good teammates a hunter is a bitch, but a witch?
I wish she was playable in versus multiplayer
Taking an arrow to the knee is almost as bad as waiting for actman’s why skyrim is so awesome
@@greenpenguin0763 you can easily just run past it
@@whiterunguard6415 stfu spammer
The fact that I can play as the scooby gang and try to constantly flee the black knight ghost, creeper, and tar monster in a violenty hilarious comic book way while chomping on scooby snacks just to stay alive just makes this game instantly one of my favorites. And it's under 15GB of storage so not gonna destroy your computer
Teammate : "Let's stick together"
Tank with a car on the opposite team: "Yeah Boi"
Insta-like for including the “Hey Joe, wanna play a zombie game?” part with Angry Joe himself.
Haha yeah “wanna play buzz MONSTOR jam
That part made me smile lol

Left for dead versus is literally just the definition of “moments before disaster”
It boggles my mind how a casual game with no progression system can have toxicity that rivals LoL or CSGO. Damn, I wish I could play it more.
@@Dustyoo10 and it only has 8 players max and yet becomes so toxic so fast without needing a ranked system
What? I thought it was get banned simulator
@@alybadry203 yes
the more mods downloaded, the more accurate the definition
I still to this day tell people my favorite multiplayer game is
Left 4 Dead 2, no game has to me captured the fun and scares I had playing with my friends on a Friday night after school.
I got a moment where i walked down a corridor in l4d1 and my team was little bit ahead of me and they were fighting a horde. So i started to walk to them, but two tanks just spawned behind me and i screamed RUN! RUUUUUN! I remember seeing my teammates flying by my head while im getting slapped by the zombies! We died, but we had so much fun.
This is why i love left 4 dead so much.
I can't believe it's taken me all these years to realise that the zombies came for the survivors in the cutscene because Bill smeared Francis with boomer bile.
Same
Ayo hol up this is new to me
Wasn't it the car alarm that was triggered when the hunter was capped causing the corpse to fall on the car?
@@knightgallade8431
There's actually two hordes in the L4D1 cutscene.
The one you mentioned is the second big one where a tank spawns. The other smaller horde shows up out of nowhere while Bill & Zoey were investigating crying noises.
Lol I thought it was the director being a bitch
Hearing the tank theme on expert with a red hp bar and no meds is quite possibly the most horrifying thing known to man.
Or:" ⚠️ You startled the Witch" God just saying that reminds me of the Sugar Mill in hard rain 😳
@@danbent9559 at least you can draw-crown a witch if you have a shotgun. a tank can just fuck you below ~40hp
as someone who played with complete newbies back then, I can agree that it is too stress inducing
Or his grunts in the distance before he notices your there
@@VanessaMagick nah it just fucks you any hp on any difficulty higher than advanced
The Left 4 Dead games are among my top 5 favorite games of all time. Its replayability is simply unmatched, even 15 years after the first game's release. I have THOUSANDS of hours clocked in the past twelve years I've been playing since high school
I played games as a kid (spyro, Mario, Pokémon, etc) but stopped gaming once I hit middle school. L4d and l4d2 is what got me into gaming as a adult. I played constantly and still keep up with the friends I met on there. We even all traveled to meet up, it was so fun.
I always named my character "your sorry ass" so anytime the survivors interact with me, as an example, it'll say:
"Nick protected your sorry ass."
ABSOLUTE CHAD
I love it
“Coach saved your sorry ass”
"A charger is pummeling your sorry ass"
Pog
Hey Joe, Wanna play another zombie game?
Edit: i commented this before the skit with joe in the beginning lmao
I’d rather play buzz MONSTOR jam, the best masterpiece ever
"NO i don't want to play another god damn zombie game"
True
Press X to doubt
GOTTEM
Left 4 dead series, Dead space series, resident evil, dead rising, series, PS3 Zombie Apocalypse and Undead nightmare were the only zombie games that didn't feel like your average zombie defense games most of them were just the same thing but those titles were absolute gems of endless fun there hasn't been another zombie game like them since.
My 6 year old loves to play LFD2 on the 360 at my grandmothers house anytime he stays over there. It’s crazy he beat the game himself and loves zombies.
This game is such a gem. Truly a shame they never continued the series.
@VinAr Run yeah but it runs on unreal engine, and isn't released by valve, trust me, it will be bad
Mhm
Back 4 Blood says hello
Source : Trust me bro 😂
Back 4 blood dum dum
2,000 hours and still playing it nearly every other day. Safe to say it's a classic
Almost at 2k same
Do you keep track or?
@@fabyanserrano00 uhh yeah? Steam tracks it for you
@@airpods3198 uhh, ok not everyone plays games on steam
I had 2k when I was kid I almost have 4k now and I love how he uses the mall music from Dead rising seris which is also amazing
Arguably the best coop experience you will find in a video game (4 players coop with friends is something beyond amazing, seriously, you can only understand after you play it)
i met one of my best gaming friend on there over 8 years ago. at that point the game had be out for a while and ppl were modding it. but my friend invited me to the party bc my frying pan was still glowing and she was so pressed it wasn’t working for her on my end lol. she wasn’t a modder or anything but if y’all played online sometimes if you found a game with mods you’d be able to leave after a while and play in your own lobby lmao. those were the days for sure man. but glad L4D & L4D2 are viewed as a universal classic/ master piece all around. appreciate your content bro, you bring back so many good memories that i experienced in my childhood.
Seeing Angry Joe and Act Man in the same video is a treat I never knew I wanted.
Same I Wanna See More of Them
I called the lack of Joe in the DBZ parody subscriber video was a missed opportunity.
@@Marinealver I can see Joe as Vegeta saying
"I've been to your channel, Act Man. I know all about your viewers, your 1 million subs. You allowed me to believe i could beat you."
Act Man: That's true. I did manage to get to a million subscribers. But hey, I've only had them for a short time!
Joe: Bah! That's enough of your lies!
Couldn't agree more!
Director: Mmmmm the survivors, are struggling and are about to die and we don’t even know where Rochelle is? So should I place a horde? Spawn a special infected? Spawn a witch? Place in an upcoming tank? Nah that’s too harsh, I won’t summon the witch
But I will do the other stuff!
Men i remember play Dark carnival en Expert, i come to the safe room, all my teammates dead, i was so happy but in that instead i see a witch in the saferoom, it's a little saferoom so was "die or die buddy"
@@justdem1490 Were there any Shotguns?
@@brothercharanus1927 The witch can't be killed in 1 one shot in expert, unless you shot in the head but im really bad shooting in the head xD
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.
@@justdem1490 Bollocks. Special infected, including the witch, can't spawn in the safe room.
I feel like the answer defaults to a “yes it’s a masterpiece” when I instinctively turn up the volume of the video when I hear the music
4th chapter of dark carnival is why I use melee weapons instead of pistols. You don't have to load them, just keep swinging.
Makes it near mandatory to have a melee, but at least only 1 person needs one.
I'll never forget a l4d2 Dark Carnival game where I was downed just as the chopper arrived. Our Rochelle came to save me but I was yelling in the mic "forget me! Go! Go! Go!" But she saved me. I made it to the chopper so fast I didn't check for my team. I was the only survivor.
Your team's sacrifice will not be forgotten
It's experiencing stories like this why I play Left 4 Dead
one time on that same map I told my friend to leave me and grab the gnome (we were doing THAT acheivment) he managed to revive me while inside of the chopper AND grab the gnome. It was awesome.
"I've won, but at what cost?"
F
God that angry joe cameo was perfect
ATTENTION BROTHER!!! I have two very very sweet girlfriends who I show off (I smell like 100 not-alive orangutans oh nooo) in my perfectly great videos that most people consider to be the reason of life! Thank you for you attention, dear dude kid doom
I was expecting Angry Joe would show up,
But at the same time I wasn't
@@AxxLAfriku fucking hell not you again
Rd2
Haha just like buzz MONSTOR jam
18:18 I felt that cause I can't even count how many times I've had a mini heart attack from accidently walking into a witch
I remember back in middle school, playing the first game. I was running through a the dead air campaign, starting at 11:30 at night for maximum scary on a solo run. 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. No one has believed me when I've told this strange tale of a 14 year olds video game experiences.. anyone else seen this?
The fact that both the survivors and the infected both have to play tactical to me is amazing for a game from 2009. Most games can’t get that right today.
arguably playing special infected in versus takes more skill but most of it is just weird bugs/tricks so it doesn't really make that much of a difference.
@@poopyjoe7435 idk flick skeeting wallkicking hunters is kinda hard
@@andresemidey9679 so is trying to coordinate your teamates as special infected, I’m guessing you would say “the same goes for survivors” which I would agree BUT because of how playing special infected is designed, you get punished even more if you get bad teammates/ non coordinating people
@@poopyjoe7435 idk brother man, you ever play novice cedapug on dark carni 1? Terrifying stuff
Imagine the game had rankings so people wouldn't leave after being charged once. Games would actually happen I suppose.
I love how during the whole “wanna play a zombie game” skit, it was only zombie themed music, a remix of the tank theme, and dead rising mall jams
Haha id love buzz MONSTOR jam music haha
Yea I really loved how he added the dr2 mall music. It's very relaxing
Easily one of the most fun games to just play with friends especially modded on advanced difficulty
" in some cases though - you may have to be- Left 4 dead" superbly done.
Left 4 dead is one of those games where I’ll always have fond memories of. Amazing game, I hope everyone had a chance to play this game, because it is awesome.
It's a comfort game for me. It was there in my childhood and hearing the dialogue and even the music cues brings me back... good times...
@@ryantabor9582 just played it yesterday with my family 😂 it’s a chaos. Just running for the damn safe house.
Couldn’t agree more. But 1 thing that sucks about it is the toxic community.
I played yesterday and every game a I played I was the only one with a mic
My uncle and I played it every Friday and Saturday when I went over to his house. God I miss him so much.
The Act Man uploaded a video *"Why Is Left 4 Dead 2 A Masterpiece?!"*
Every L4D2 fans : *_"Hell, it's about time"_*
My best memories from this game is when I was playing with my step siblings. We have had so many funny moments including having a sitting witch on top of a car, pausing right before he got hit by a charger, laughing out asses off at the voice lines. Staying up past midnight playing this game on a school night. Fucking around and acting like the characters we selected, accents and all. This game will ALWAYS have some of my best memories.
Left 4 Dead 2 is one of my favorite games of all time, Valve created a masterpiece, have been playing it since 2009 and even now the game always feels fresh due to the A.I. Director, Wide variety of weapons, all the survivors have unique personalities, love the banter between them , Coach and Bill were my favorites 👏👏👏
Acting Male and Furious Vargas is the crossover we need.
Yeah aswell as buzz MONSTOR jam crossover
Furious Vargas? 😂😂😂
Praise the 7 deities!
Louis laughing and screaming for pills will always be a masterpiece.
