So fun fact about The Sacrifice mission. Bill the old soldier dude in the first group canonically dies during that mission. At the end of the entire level you get to the bridge and need to use a generator to raise it so you can get away from the zombies but halfway up the generator dies so one of the players has to drop down and refill the generator in order to make the bridge start rising once again and get out of reach of the zombies. Later on when you come through the level again as the New Orleans crew you can find Bill dead at the generator.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames The Sacrifice ends with one player (canonically Bill) trying to complete an objective while dodging 3 tanks (Hulk zombies). They released more DLC last year, with a teaser trailer that included Bill snarking that "You should have brought more tanks". So maybe it's retconned?
@@robsilvester6213 I think this is more like a "what if"-thing. Overwatch also has dialogue in-game between characters, but the devs said those are not canon or at least we shouldn't assume so.
L4D1’s trailer shows what the player is going to expect in-game: Don’t shine your flashlight on Witches Stay on a single place too long and wave of zombies will arrive Car alarms will also alert the horde Wandering alone will make you an easy target The entire team is needed to take down the Tank
@@switch317 If I remember it right, it only works for a while. Since special infected like them can break through doors faster than the normal ones. That's why you either throw fire on them or kill them head on with consecutive shotgun blasts.
It doesn’t have to be funny to everyone. If it’s not funny to you, that’s fine. But I thought it was funny when I first played the game back in 2009. Some people just have different senses of humor.
I always really liked those couple lines "We made it! I can't believe we made it!" "Son, we just crossed the street. Let's not throw a party until we're out of the city."
I love it how in every L4D2 Intro, Ellis (the man with a t-shirt in L4D2) is always the target of every special infected just like: smoker (long tongue zombie), charger (zombie with one huge arm), jockey (little zombies that ride people) and etc... What a goat Ellis ❤
Interesting thing about Zoey (ponytail girl) is that she has probably one of the deepest stories of the survivors in either Left 4 Dead. In the comic that you can read on the l4d site, we see that she’s a college student and horror movie fan. She starts the apocalypse by honoring her father’s request to kill him after being bitten, tragically finding out right before the Sacrifice campaign that he genetically could’ve survived the bite unchanged. Through the game, Bill (the old army guy) acts as a father figure to her, which makes it even worse when he sacrifices himself for her and the others (but especially her) against those massive zombies in, appropriately, the Sacrifice.
“And if we run outta bullets?” *chainsaw noises* “Baby, they’re gonna wish we hadn’t.” Still one of my favorite parts of any trailer for anything ever.
Fr everytime I log into Xbox there’s always joinable games in versus and campaign, lil bit of survival but sadly scavenge is dead on Xbox. But sometimes people play the mutations.. (mostly the taaaank mutation)
Fun Fact: The reason why there's different campaigns in every group isn't just because of the game should be but also, these survivors are already infected but shows none of the effect. They infect their surroundings instead that's why everytime they get rescued, it always fails that leads them to another run of survival. Been playing since 2011 and still one of the best Zombie coop ever.
I used to play it on my 360, but now its on my ONE S. I play Splitscreen with friends/family whenever they come over and we always play Versus Man, taking down your friends in the funniest of ways is still fun and super funny to this day. I once crushed my friend and his entire team with one dumpster as the tank, and the round had just started. I was literally dying of laughter 😂🤣
These Zombies you don't have to shoot in the head, they technically aren't even undead. The Zombie Outbreak in Left 4 Dead is a Rabies like Pathogen known as 'The Green Flu' So you can technically be an asymptomatic carrier. So even if you're 'immune' to the virus you're most likely still a carrier.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames If a cure was made for before it progressed, but its probably the same as Rabies that once you're past a certain point, you're doomed.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames A cure is a major plot point in the lore, but it's a pointless goal; There are very few officials left to develop one, and the virus already mutates far quicker than it can be studied, it can even change how it's transmitted. One of the series' main ideas is the thought that the only way humanity will survive is through carriers.
@@darianallenwilson 1 basically was more horror themed and most of the maps are dark however 2 is more action themed most of the main maps of 2 are in the light
I love your reactions to the "special" infected creatures such as the Hunter, the Smoker, the Spitter, the Charger, the Jockey, the Witch, and the Tank.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Yep, The boomer, The boomer is a support character, he is a fatass and he acts like the spitter but he pukes on u, instead of damaging you he attracts a horde, He has 50 HP so he is totally not for combat.
Both groups are roughly in the same area, but both cover a variety of different environments on their way to safety from the zombie outbreak. The maps have a canonical order and often end with the escape vehicle of the last map breaking down or something along these lines. The map The Sacrifice is canonically the last of L4D and requires one player to stay behind and keep the horde off a couple of generators (if memory serves right) so the others can escape. This makes it the only official map you can't complete without another player, as the AI is incapable at anything beyond staying close to the player(s), so you can't leave a bot at the generators. Canonically, it's Bill (the bearded guy) that does that and the same area is revisited in the second game, with his corpse siting at the generators. That's the trailer that ended with Bill countercharging three of the Tanks (Hulk-Zombies) with a molotov-cocktail. The Zombie Clown are part of a map that takes the group through an amusement park. I haven't played in a while,. but I think their shoes squeak really loud when they run (after spotting a survivor), which attracts more zombies.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames YEP! BLASTER with escape plan when 4 players must start rock concert [with f**king awesome music] for call helicopter to rescue them out of here.
The cool thing about Left4Dead is a few things. 1) It's literally done as a movie. Where the movie poster is the loadscreen, and it shows your account name (as if you're an actor) playing as a character. 2) The first game came with the second game. This game was practically put into many other games. So it was easy to have a friend with the game and not know they had it and just play together. The Orange Box comes with all Left4Dead content, Portal, and Team Fortress. All of these games are co-op and great fun. Lastly there will be 4 players, the players will be bots that aren't filled up. It Usually says Zoey as herself on the movie poster for the characters you didn't pick. You need teamwork to manage resources AND to save each other. Since someone can be badly hurt and so they can't be risky and the one with more HP and med kits should be in the front, ect. Also you can NOT survive a special zombie alone, such as the Witch shown in the first trailer (if you shine light or look at her directly she can hold someone down and they will die unless someone else saves them). So it's better with human players when you decide who gets what weapon as you move along, or saves someone faster with better shooting, or groups better so it's easier for accountability of each other (instead of the AI letting a person go alone or being too far apart to get pulled by a special zombie). 3) Game gets dumb fun when you act like you're in a movie. Many times when you get good you actively try to act like the incompetent zombie guy who lets the zombies in the safe room. Or act like the hero "go on without me" or "tell my babe back at home that I love her". It just evolves into a dumb mess when you do that. Or like nearly every zombie movie "accidentally" setting off car alarms or tripping and you have to go back for [person X] even if it means everyone getting wiped. 4) Following the movie point there's always 5 acts in each map. Each map is a film. Generally the mid point is the plot twist and more noticeable in L4D2. One of the main criticism of L4D2 is that many maps involve daylight and more color, takes away from the atmosphere and people generally liked the original 4 man cast more. That being said the game direction was done that way so when the mid point of the game came it usually was at sunset when everything went FUBAR. So it created a larger dynamic. So I didn't share that opinion about daylight, but I did prefer the original cast because their in game interactions were gold.
also i want to add that the "accidentally triggering a car alarm" is something that actually happened more than once to me. hell, it happened this very week too XD
The other aspect of "It's a movie" is the Director, the game's AI, which dynamically spawns zombies and supplies to challenge and help the players based on how well they're doing.
“Zombie Clowns?!” Yes. The second (or third if you have The Passing DLC) campaign of Left 4 Dead 2 is called Dark Carnival. It involves you arriving at a zombie infested amusement park. You fight your way through the fairgrounds and there are lots of clown zombies that attract even more zombies because their shoes squeak when they walk. You can also bash their faces and make their nose honk, which is pretty hilarious. Eventually you must fight your way through the Tunnel of Love which is also infested with both clown zombies and normal ones. Once you leave the tunnels, it has the best ending in my opinion of all the campaigns. You get to start up a light show concert. Full of lights, fireworks, loud music and, of course zombies. The light show catches the attention of an, at first, human helicopter pilot and are flown out of there in sweet style. Not to mention that there are at least 3 games available to play around the fair. And one even rewards you a gnome if you beat it. Such a fun campaign and game all around.
I hate that damn gnome. You get an achievement if you take the gnome all the way through to the end of the campaign, and the first time we did it, I had the gnome at the rescue chopper, put it down to cover my friend as he dashed for it too, and neither of us picked it back up so the achievement didnt register - apparently you had to have someone carry it as the level ended. We spent 50 minutes on that, and anothr 50 redoing it to get the achievement xD
@@zeki7753 That’s definitely one of my favorites. I love rain. But when you must go through a zombie infested town, sugar mill and corn field crawling with witches on the brink of a massive storm in search for gas, it just gets better. It adds a lot more scarier aspect to it starting at chapter 3 when the storm kicks up and you can barely see or hear. And it makes you be careful to conserve some supplies for the trip back.
Left 4 Dead is a great game. with characters whose personalities are completely different, and their conversations in-game reveal quite a lot about them, such as Ellis is quite skilled at making things, even making a truck 99% zombie proofed (the 1% tore the truck to shreds) but also somewhat of a mischievous by stating that stock cars at events in malls are usually not gassed (something he learned when trying to steal one). Nick's lines seems to indicate that he's some kind of hitman (such as stating that you can get brains out of a suit but not swamp water, or stating, uncomfortably, that he once was at a wedding with a crying bride in a bloody dress), and both him and Francis have the same symbol, showing that they are both part of a criminal organization.
I love L4D!! Here's some info since ya'll asked! It's a game with multiple chapters and each chapter has anywhere from 2 - 5 levels. In each level you have to get from saferoom A to saferoom B with plenty of stuff making that difficult. The final level in each chapter usually swaps saferoom B for an escape vehicle or another objective like raising a bridge etc. The story of the world is told through some random dialogue between characters and environmental stuff such as other survivors writing on walls in safe rooms, even some science info about the zombies can be found ingame. You can also play solo with 3 AI teammates, however to play as a zombie you need to play the online Verses modes. I would definitely recommend watching a lore video based on L4D. The infection and how it all works, what the government has been doing, the characters stories... All very interesting.
3:26 The infected jumping over buildings and screaming is called "hunter". He prefers to attack people who leave the team. Also, his eyes cannot see due to mutation. that's why she screams "to scare" because she doesn't know what's going on in front of her. It can detect the other person using its sense of smell. Nice video sir 😍👌
TheRussianBadger did a great video a few weeks ago about the modding scene in L4D2, and it really brings back memories. But yea, one of the better horde shooters, the mix of regular zombies and the special infected keep the tension up, and having an A.I Director making the game harder or easier based on how your team performs really amps up the suspense.
1:58 nerd fact, the lady who voices Zoey in L4D1 is married to the character who voices Ellis in L4D2, and she lends her voice to the Halo universe as well, as Cortana. this is one of my all time fav games, i still play regularly , i've got 4,500 hrs into it on steam, and a bunch on the xbox 360 version as well before i could buy a nice pc. great reaction! 👍
I will admit that I'm slightly surprised that people are still discovering L4D to this day, but I'm glad that it continues to be a novel experience for the favoured few only just stumbling upon it in recent years.
Some good tidbits of info: This is regarded as one of the best zombie games ever made. Every time you play through, zombies and items are placed in random locations, so they're never in the same place each run, making each run feel different enough it doesn't get repetitive. There are several different types of "Special Infected", aka the Smoker, the guy with the long tongue. He coughs a lot, giving away that he's in the area. His tongue shoots out, if he gets a player, he starts dragging them towards him, making him great for setting up traps. The Hunter, the one who jumped/pounced on Louis on the car in the city. They can do a lot of damage real fast. The higher/farther the pounce, the bigger the landing bonus if they land on a player. Also, once he pounces you, he starts ripping at you, and you can't do anything unless helped from another player. The Charger, he's the one in the overalls with 1 big arm. He charges forward, and if he grabs one of the players, he keeps running for an extra second or 2, knocking away anyone else and starts slamming the player until either one dies. The Hulk zombie is known as the Tank. Once his music hits, it always makes players pucker up haha. They take an entire team to focus down. They can lift rocks and chuck them at players, knocking them down if hit. They can also hit cars that can all but kill players if they land on them. When he hits you, you literally go flying, and can be knocked off map ledges for a quick death. The name of the game is teamwork. If the Hunter, Smoker, Jockey or Charger get you, you can't do anything to escape, and need your teammates to kill them in order to get back up. Also, the badass girl you guys liked, Zoey, is voiced by the same girl who did Cortana for the Halo series. The funny interaction with Frances and Rochelle, about hating stuff, is very great, because throughout the first Left 4 Dead, Francis, the biker guy, always says he hates stuff. Usually it's quite random too. The attention to the small details in this game were so good. In the very first mission on the first, Mercy Hospital, when you get to the hospital itself, there's some zombies in hospital gowns. When you progress into some construction zones, you see zombies that are wearing high-vis vests and hard hats. There's so much more, but they hit the nail on the head on almost every category when making these games. Part 2 really made Part 1 obsolete, because they fixed some issues that made Part 2 much more streamlined. Anyways, sorry for the big paragraph, just wanted to tell some of the great things this game did and still hasn't really been matched.
Most of the infected were voiced by Mike Patton of Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, etc. Coach in the second game was voiced by Chad Coleman who later played Tyrese in The Walking Dead.
Having grown up with these games, it was entertaining to see the reaction of those who have never experienced this classic series ten years later. Great review guys!
So about how it started, the comics talks about how it’s a virus that was originally airborne, and it’s constantly mutating, which is why A) the special infected eventually arrived, even though it took about 2 weeks after it started for them to appear, and B) the virus is, according to them, is unable to be cured. The Sacrifice (the comic, not the campaign) talks more about it I think. I’ve only seen a few pages of it but yeah I’d recommend reading it.
I spent countless nights with my friends playing the hell out of these games back in highschool. It was a borderline obsession lmao. So many good memories 🤘 As a side note, these trailers literally explain to you how to play game. They teach you about practically everything that happens in the game.
Oh my God! Left 4 Dead was THE game for like 4 years for me. I even played in Eport Leagues. Im so SO happy to see you react to that! And im excited for Halloween-Horror-Reactions xD letsgoo
Since you asked L4D is a four player multiplayer game with both online co-op and single player options. So it can be you and three bots, two friends and two bots or four of your friends. The AI is fairly smart but not as good as a real person if coded to be very helpful. There's also a verses mode where up to 8 people can compete against each other trying to complete levels with both taking turns as survivors then as the special infected trying to stop those survivors. Scoring is based off how far you get in the level with completing the level being a perfect score of 1000 and getting 60% of the way through it before dying being worth 600 out of a 1000 points. Each survivor counts as 1/4 of that score so if only one person completes a level it's worth 1/4 as much as if everyone gets out. Two other things of note, first there are multiple special infected (Like the Tongue guy aka the Smoker) each have their own strengths and weaknesses which I won't go into here but they are called the Hunter, Smoker, Boomer, Charger, Jockey, Spitter and the Tank, there's also npc only Witch and level specific infected (Like the clowns). Last there's something called the AI Director who behind the scenes is tuning the difficulty up or down as well as moving items in the level around based on the difficulty you select. If your doing well it throws more normal zombies and special infected at you, if your doing poorly it will ease back and maybe add a few easy to find healing items or better guns. The game is different every time you play it, and L4D 2 has all of the L4D 1 maps and survivors in it.
5:34 that rooftop is literally where the game starts! It's cool that when you play the game, you begin in the immediate moments after the events of this trailer
I really appreciate you guys covering this ! I’ve been waiting for you guys to do this vid :) ! Maybe an idea is to react or look at a vid of all the special infected in the game ! It’s actually super interesting to know how they come from the infection. Anyways great vid y’all ! Love your channel
Fun fact about the clown zombies: Their shoes squeak as they walk, making them attract more zombies to them if they start running. And if you shove them, you hear a cartoony honk noise. Such a nice touch haha
These two zombie games I love 'em. God, time flies man. Now I noticed that you guys were wondering if the first game you had to play it with 4 people, no you don't. You can either if ya want play with them NPCs or play with real online friends and for the second I also noticed that you were wondering if you had to shoot them zombies in the head, nope. No you don't.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Oh yeah, if you two wanna play it, you're gonna enjoy it, I played the first and second one on my Xbox 360 and yeah, they're both overrated zombie games.
Awesome Reaction, my favorite special infected to play as in versus mode is the jockey because you can ride a survivor in any direction you want and it has some really good attack music when you're the one getting jockeyed
Out of all the zombie coop games I've played, this is by far the best when it comes to fun value, especially with friends. L4D2 could really do with a remaster or a third one.
the devs of this game recently came out with a game called Back 4 blood which is basically Left 4 dead 3 ive seen some Streamers playing it and its has all the elements of left 4 dead with new ones added in like more weapons and perks
@@jerome6519 Yeah I've been looking into that but apparently it doesn't have those frantic moments where all the zombies swarm your team which I thought was one of the best things about L4D2. Still that might change in future patches and I'll likely buy this new game at some point once enough friends have got i.
@@jerome6519 technically not the devs but technically yes because turtle rock studios were responsible for the concept and early builds of the first game turtle rock sold the left 4 dead IP to valve and left them to finish the game and sell it
The Sacrifice mission fact: The name is the sacrifice because bill died for the whole team. Which, Bill was 89 during his death, he was in The Vietnam War and he’s the only military guy left. And how he died was, Being crushed by 3 Zombie Tanks. And Bill returns in other L4D1 missions.
Not sure if it’s been said but in the original plans, the movie “zombieland” was supposed to be a Left4Dead movie. While they changed the idea they still kept the main focus of a group of 4 survivors making their way through the apocalypse trying to reach a single goal while also using bizarre forms of transportation throughout the movie
Awesome reaction. I use to play so much of the left 4 dead games back in the day. Like other said it was a co op game where you could play up to 4 people together. If there was no one playing in their spot, the Ai would take over. What made the game unique in its game play was the team had develop a director AI for the enemy. It would send the zombies in waves at the players and if they were not doing so well not send as many. Also the director would be in charge of where these specialized zombie would appear However, if the player loitered around more, it would send larger horde to get the players to move on to the next objectives. Once you reach an objective you would reach an safe room. Then you could re- arm and heal up for your next objective. Also with the director AI it mean every person experience was different since it was not scripted event but an AI that was actively evaluating your game. It made it interesting. With this being a coop game, this mean only through other people help you could get out of grasp out of certain enemy like the tongue guy call out the smoker. This was meant to encourage people to stay together. Those infected that seem to have special ability were called special zombies and there was the smoker, tongue guys that could pull you away from your team. Then there was the hunter which was the guys that would jump on you and knock you prone or flat. Then there was one not shown but called a boomer which was an bigger zombie that would " this is degusting" vomit on you and have you attract other zombie to you. There is the Tank which is the big hulk like zombie that you saw in the trailers like a mini boss zombie. Very hard to kill and can throw slabs of concrete at you. The crying girl is known as the witch and like the trailer state you don't put your flashlight at her or else she could run at you fast and get you down quite quickly. For left 4 dead 2, there is the spatter, the one with the hinge jaw girl in the left 4 dead 2 trailer that spit acid in a zone and the jockey which like the hunter jump on you. Unlike the hunter who knocks you down, it can guide you and often guides you into its other regular zombie. Finally in that one they added the charger. This was a zombie against most people tactic in the first left 4 dead to stand in a corner and shoot away as it charges through your gunfire to pin a person against the wall. Another aspect of the game in both was called versus where one teams plays as the specialized zombie except the witch. This is where two teams of 4 try to get as far they can or beat the scenario and who get farthest or fastest wins. Its fun as both side gets to go as the injected and the humans. One strategy some use as the specialized is draw players toward the witch or full them toward her and force them to put flashlight on her. The zombie don't take any specialized head shot to go down. Its just there it does more damage like any other shooter but just so many of them. Fun fact since I originally from new Orleans is coach in the left 4 dead trailer seem to be sporting Louisiana state University (LSU ) colors as they are purple and gold and that what he wearing. Its a fun game and you both can get a change to play it it is really fun. It make for a perfect Halloween setting game as well to try out as it can be scary but not to much and more a fun time to have.
Mannnn! I miss playing this again with friends! Spend over 100+ hours into Left 4 Dead when it came on PC! 😁 One of my fav COOP games ive played in a long time! Loved your reaction to this! Also Rest In Peace Jim French (1928-2017). He voiced Bill in the game.
I know I am a year late, and somebody may have already told you guys, but the guy who did the voicelines for Coach (Chad L. Coleman), went on to play Tyreese in the Walking Dead, 3 years after he was doing voices for Left 4 Dead 2. I thought the voice was pretty recognizable, but never put two and two together. In the little booklet that you would get for the XBOX 360 Edition of the game, all 4 survivors' voice actors were credited in one of the last pages, and surely enough, Chad L. Coleman was the name under Coach. Blew my mind, love that actor and both of these characters. They oddly share some similar qualities as well. Side note, I made so many great memories from the Left 4 Dead games, and still do to this day. The Steam Workshop is a great and easy way to download accessible mods that range from downright absurd, to adding content to the game that should have been there to begin with, albeit the game already being fantastic as it is.
Funny thing about Left 4 dead and the reason why it has zombies like the Smoker (zombie with long tongue) it's because it was mainly inspired by Resident Evil, the zombies like the Smoker and the Hunter (zombie with the hoodie attacking Louis, character in black in the first intro), are actually sort of mutated (you can tell they are by their weird aspects, long tongue for example). In fact, Zoey (girl on red jacket) is inspired by Claire Redfield, while Bill (the old veteran wearing a beret hat) is inspired by Mikhail Viktor, both characters come from the Resident Evil franchise.
Somethings I feel people haven’t mentioned that is neat in my opinion: There’s three types of infected in game: common, uncommon and special. Uncommon are ones I really want to touch on because of how cool but overlooked they are. Ceda workers in hazmats suits, mud people in swamps, construction workers, riot guys and the clowns are considered uncommon each of them have specific maps they spawn in and have their own little catch. Clowns attract other infected, mud men blind and so forth. But that’s not all! There’s uncommon uncommon that don’t spawn all the time in jimmy gibbs jr and the fallen survivor! Jimmy was a stock car driver that’s important to the story who only has a 5% chance of spawning in a certain map. (He’s also Elis’ idol and he will sometimes openly cry when he has to shoot him) The fallen survivor is special in a way because he actually will actively run away from you if injured, you will want to hunt him down because he often carries things like Molotovs, pipebombs, and medical supplies
Chargers and Smokers are the most terrifying enemies to see in Vs mode. Chargers can ram into a whole team off a building and kill em all, or can push the team towards a witch, and Smokers can pull a survivor away during Realism, making separating a no go. If you are going against a pro player with either one of those. On a map with alot of cliffs or edges. You can be certain you are screwed.
I remember playing this game in 2010-2011 and I stopped playing and like 4 days before I remember this game and I just bought an Xbox 360 just to play this two games, and the stories are a lot deeper than what you can think
I rlly dunno how u found out about this game and what made u react to the trailers, but I'm super glad you did. I still remember when it first came out and they showed that one L4D2 trailer... me and my friends were thrilled to play this and I invested quite some time in it, but it was worth every damn minute. This one's a certified hood classic. Keep it up & much luv :>
God i miss those days. Thank you for the reaction. I remember the months leading up to release and being on other social zombie games. Talking to people, experiencing the collective hype. It turned out to be a very good game.
few fun notes, first of all, the special infected as encountered. boomer: this one is less seen as much as talked about, it's the one with slime that bill wipes on francis. really big balloon like zombies that puke on you or explode on death, they attract hoards when you're covered in their "boomer bile". which actually became a item later on in 2 that you can throw and use to attract a hoard into fire or whatever hazard you want. witch: the crying super infected who can instantly down you, you can sneak past her if you're careful. but don't get too close, look at her too long, or flash your light on her. smoker: this one always has a smokers cough and spits up something that it uses to wrap you up and drag you in. hunter: these ones are super fast and jump super far, they'll probably come at you out of nowhere, but they're super squishy. the infected glass Cannon. tank: the other super infected, this one is built like donkey Kong and will smash you from close or far away. unloading bullets on him is the best policy. charger: this one charges through undead and human alike, taking his target in a straight line until he's stopped, careful with this one, cause that "stop" may be in a instant death hazard like charging you out a window and into a fall at terminal velocity. jockey: this maniacally laughing little gremlin with hop on your back and try it's best to drag you into harms way, weather that's another infected or just away from the group. you can kinda fight it's control but it's not easy. spitter: this gal's nasty. she likes out a pool of noxious acid that does some serious damage if you get stuck in it, if another special pins you in it? you're most likely dead. also, as the sacrifice goes, it's cannon that bill sacrifices himself in order to save everyone else on the bridge, you find his body in the passing holding his M16. it's also apparently cannon that after his death his soul was dragged into the embrace of the "entity" in dead by daylight, where he is now one of the survivers.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames also, to comment on what you said at about 16:40 in this game? getting pinned or smoked or jockied isn't a moment of frustration, it's a moment of desperation and panic, cause there's nothing you can do without your team at that point.
The L4D common infected are based off of 28 Days Later and are much faster in game also fun fact Coach is voiced by Chad Coleman who played Tyreese in The Walking Dead. Loved the reaction ❤️
i have this game on my xbox one and i’ve grown up playing this as a kid and this is the best zombies game i have ever played and i still play to this day and it excites me that y’all have reacted to the trailers of both left 4 dead games
[The Sacrifice Campaign] If you are curious about why would they even raise the bridge, cuz the sail boat was blocked by the bridge, so they had to lift the bridge up to get the sail boat across.
Aaaaaaaaahhh memories!!! Wow, so there are still so many people who play this game! I've played many games and so far this one is the best for me. Everything about this game is perfect, from the characters to soundtracks, everything man!
So fun fact about The Sacrifice mission. Bill the old soldier dude in the first group canonically dies during that mission. At the end of the entire level you get to the bridge and need to use a generator to raise it so you can get away from the zombies but halfway up the generator dies so one of the players has to drop down and refill the generator in order to make the bridge start rising once again and get out of reach of the zombies. Later on when you come through the level again as the New Orleans crew you can find Bill dead at the generator.
Poor Bill 😢
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames The Sacrifice ends with one player (canonically Bill) trying to complete an objective while dodging 3 tanks (Hulk zombies). They released more DLC last year, with a teaser trailer that included Bill snarking that "You should have brought more tanks". So maybe it's retconned?
@@robsilvester6213 I think this is more like a "what if"-thing.
Overwatch also has dialogue in-game between characters, but the devs said those are not canon or at least we shouldn't assume so.

L4D1’s trailer shows what the player is going to expect in-game:
Don’t shine your flashlight on Witches
Stay on a single place too long and wave of zombies will arrive
Car alarms will also alert the horde
Wandering alone will make you an easy target
The entire team is needed to take down the Tank
Witches sound the scariest in this game 😧
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames oh trust me they definitely are.
It showcases all the special infected except for the Boomer, who's dead at the beginning of the intro
and that witches can be stopped by doors?
@@switch317 If I remember it right, it only works for a while. Since special infected like them can break through doors faster than the normal ones. That's why you either throw fire on them or kill them head on with consecutive shotgun blasts.
“Run or shoot?”
“RUN OR SHOOT?”
“Both”
😂
Yeah that was a good interaction ☺️
I don’t get how that was funny I know the game since 2014
It doesn’t have to be funny to everyone. If it’s not funny to you, that’s fine. But I thought it was funny when I first played the game back in 2009. Some people just have different senses of humor.
“We made it I can’t believe we made it!”
“Son we just crossed the street……let’s not throw a party until we’re out of the city.”
*Ellis hacking up a lung*
I always really liked those couple lines
"We made it! I can't believe we made it!"
"Son, we just crossed the street. Let's not throw a party until we're out of the city."
Agreed. One of the best lines in there ☺️ and there were plenty of great ones 🥳
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames great TH-cam channel
I love it how in every L4D2 Intro, Ellis (the man with a t-shirt in L4D2) is always the target of every special infected just like: smoker (long tongue zombie), charger (zombie with one huge arm), jockey (little zombies that ride people) and etc... What a goat Ellis ❤
He’s just too delectable for regular infected pupil to claw at
THATS why I'm always getting attacked by special infected Ima start becoming someone else for now on smh
I watched that trailer countless times for over 10 years and never noticed!
This game is old, but still gold. You will never see mold, since it’s always sold
Slam poetry 😎🤟
I love this comment. Perfect way to describe l4d2
bars been dropped
Great
Interesting thing about Zoey (ponytail girl) is that she has probably one of the deepest stories of the survivors in either Left 4 Dead. In the comic that you can read on the l4d site, we see that she’s a college student and horror movie fan. She starts the apocalypse by honoring her father’s request to kill him after being bitten, tragically finding out right before the Sacrifice campaign that he genetically could’ve survived the bite unchanged. Through the game, Bill (the old army guy) acts as a father figure to her, which makes it even worse when he sacrifices himself for her and the others (but especially her) against those massive zombies in, appropriately, the Sacrifice.
😢
“And if we run outta bullets?”
*chainsaw noises*
“Baby, they’re gonna wish we hadn’t.”

This game is literally 12 years old, but it's still one of the best co-op shooter games out there. (in my opinion)

Fact bro.
yepp its my fav game so farr
same
Fr everytime I log into Xbox there’s always joinable games in versus and campaign, lil bit of survival but sadly scavenge is dead on Xbox. But sometimes people play the mutations.. (mostly the taaaank mutation)
Fun Fact: The reason why there's different campaigns in every group isn't just because of the game should be but also, these survivors are already infected but shows none of the effect. They infect their surroundings instead that's why everytime they get rescued, it always fails that leads them to another run of survival.
Been playing since 2011 and still one of the best Zombie coop ever.
Thanks for sharing the fun fact 😀
Man this game is such a fun masterpiece to play with friends I still have it on my Xbox 360
Me too i was a very common player but i stopped playng recently

These Zombies you don't have to shoot in the head, they technically aren't even undead. The Zombie Outbreak in Left 4 Dead is a Rabies like Pathogen known as 'The Green Flu' So you can technically be an asymptomatic carrier. So even if you're 'immune' to the virus you're most likely still a carrier.
So technically people could still be saved that are infected then 😯😃
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames If a cure was made for before it progressed, but its probably the same as Rabies that once you're past a certain point, you're doomed.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames A cure is a major plot point in the lore, but it's a pointless goal; There are very few officials left to develop one, and the virus already mutates far quicker than it can be studied, it can even change how it's transmitted. One of the series' main ideas is the thought that the only way humanity will survive is through carriers.
yea, in the end calling them "zombies" is just because it's faster to say than "Infected"
and because they look like zombies
They also don't seem to want to bite you, they straight punching and kicking your ass until you are dead, lol.
Nothing will ever beat left 4 dead 1’s intro. Best game ever.

Personally I think 2 is better just cause of the humor and the characters. 1 had good characters and was dark and scary 😦
@@darianallenwilson 1 basically was more horror themed and most of the maps are dark however 2 is more action themed most of the main maps of 2 are in the light

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames There is another...
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Yep, The boomer, The boomer is a support character, he is a fatass and he acts like the spitter but he pukes on u, instead of damaging you he attracts a horde, He has 50 HP so he is totally not for combat.

Both groups are roughly in the same area, but both cover a variety of different environments on their way to safety from the zombie outbreak. The maps have a canonical order and often end with the escape vehicle of the last map breaking down or something along these lines.
The map The Sacrifice is canonically the last of L4D and requires one player to stay behind and keep the horde off a couple of generators (if memory serves right) so the others can escape.
This makes it the only official map you can't complete without another player, as the AI is incapable at anything beyond staying close to the player(s), so you can't leave a bot at the generators.
Canonically, it's Bill (the bearded guy) that does that and the same area is revisited in the second game, with his corpse siting at the generators. That's the trailer that ended with Bill countercharging three of the Tanks (Hulk-Zombies) with a molotov-cocktail.
The Zombie Clown are part of a map that takes the group through an amusement park. I haven't played in a while,. but I think their shoes squeak really loud when they run (after spotting a survivor), which attracts more zombies.
Oh, cool. Bet the amusement park map is a blast 😃

The cool thing about Left4Dead is a few things. 1) It's literally done as a movie. Where the movie poster is the loadscreen, and it shows your account name (as if you're an actor) playing as a character. 2) The first game came with the second game. This game was practically put into many other games. So it was easy to have a friend with the game and not know they had it and just play together. The Orange Box comes with all Left4Dead content, Portal, and Team Fortress. All of these games are co-op and great fun. Lastly there will be 4 players, the players will be bots that aren't filled up. It Usually says Zoey as herself on the movie poster for the characters you didn't pick. You need teamwork to manage resources AND to save each other. Since someone can be badly hurt and so they can't be risky and the one with more HP and med kits should be in the front, ect. Also you can NOT survive a special zombie alone, such as the Witch shown in the first trailer (if you shine light or look at her directly she can hold someone down and they will die unless someone else saves them). So it's better with human players when you decide who gets what weapon as you move along, or saves someone faster with better shooting, or groups better so it's easier for accountability of each other (instead of the AI letting a person go alone or being too far apart to get pulled by a special zombie). 3) Game gets dumb fun when you act like you're in a movie. Many times when you get good you actively try to act like the incompetent zombie guy who lets the zombies in the safe room. Or act like the hero "go on without me" or "tell my babe back at home that I love her". It just evolves into a dumb mess when you do that. Or like nearly every zombie movie "accidentally" setting off car alarms or tripping and you have to go back for [person X] even if it means everyone getting wiped. 4) Following the movie point there's always 5 acts in each map. Each map is a film. Generally the mid point is the plot twist and more noticeable in L4D2. One of the main criticism of L4D2 is that many maps involve daylight and more color, takes away from the atmosphere and people generally liked the original 4 man cast more. That being said the game direction was done that way so when the mid point of the game came it usually was at sunset when everything went FUBAR. So it created a larger dynamic. So I didn't share that opinion about daylight, but I did prefer the original cast because their in game interactions were gold.
Love the detailed analysis of the game and how it plays out 😃 Thanks for sharing, Peter! 🥳
thinking that's a movie kinda break the immersion imo
not that i should care when i nearly replaced everything in the game with community stuff XD
also i want to add that the "accidentally triggering a car alarm" is something that actually happened more than once to me. hell, it happened this very week too XD
The other aspect of "It's a movie" is the Director, the game's AI, which dynamically spawns zombies and supplies to challenge and help the players based on how well they're doing.

“Zombie Clowns?!” Yes. The second (or third if you have The Passing DLC) campaign of Left 4 Dead 2 is called Dark Carnival. It involves you arriving at a zombie infested amusement park. You fight your way through the fairgrounds and there are lots of clown zombies that attract even more zombies because their shoes squeak when they walk. You can also bash their faces and make their nose honk, which is pretty hilarious. Eventually you must fight your way through the Tunnel of Love which is also infested with both clown zombies and normal ones. Once you leave the tunnels, it has the best ending in my opinion of all the campaigns. You get to start up a light show concert. Full of lights, fireworks, loud music and, of course zombies. The light show catches the attention of an, at first, human helicopter pilot and are flown out of there in sweet style. Not to mention that there are at least 3 games available to play around the fair. And one even rewards you a gnome if you beat it. Such a fun campaign and game all around.
Dark Carnival is a great name and sounds super fun 😃
I hate that damn gnome. You get an achievement if you take the gnome all the way through to the end of the campaign, and the first time we did it, I had the gnome at the rescue chopper, put it down to cover my friend as he dashed for it too, and neither of us picked it back up so the achievement didnt register - apparently you had to have someone carry it as the level ended. We spent 50 minutes on that, and anothr 50 redoing it to get the achievement xD
@@georgercop 😂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames one of the campaigns is literaly called hard rain and you guessed it rains
@@zeki7753 That’s definitely one of my favorites. I love rain. But when you must go through a zombie infested town, sugar mill and corn field crawling with witches on the brink of a massive storm in search for gas, it just gets better. It adds a lot more scarier aspect to it starting at chapter 3 when the storm kicks up and you can barely see or hear. And it makes you be careful to conserve some supplies for the trip back.

I still play on my PC, I played back 4 blood for about an hour today but quit to go back to l4d
Left 4 Dead is a great game. with characters whose personalities are completely different, and their conversations in-game reveal quite a lot about them, such as Ellis is quite skilled at making things, even making a truck 99% zombie proofed (the 1% tore the truck to shreds) but also somewhat of a mischievous by stating that stock cars at events in malls are usually not gassed (something he learned when trying to steal one). Nick's lines seems to indicate that he's some kind of hitman (such as stating that you can get brains out of a suit but not swamp water, or stating, uncomfortably, that he once was at a wedding with a crying bride in a bloody dress), and both him and Francis have the same symbol, showing that they are both part of a criminal organization.

I love L4D!! Here's some info since ya'll asked!
It's a game with multiple chapters and each chapter has anywhere from 2 - 5 levels. In each level you have to get from saferoom A to saferoom B with plenty of stuff making that difficult. The final level in each chapter usually swaps saferoom B for an escape vehicle or another objective like raising a bridge etc.
The story of the world is told through some random dialogue between characters and environmental stuff such as other survivors writing on walls in safe rooms, even some science info about the zombies can be found ingame.
You can also play solo with 3 AI teammates, however to play as a zombie you need to play the online Verses modes.
I would definitely recommend watching a lore video based on L4D. The infection and how it all works, what the government has been doing, the characters stories... All very interesting.
Thanks for all the info on the game 😃 We will see if there are some fun lore videos to check out 🥳
3:26 The infected jumping over buildings and screaming is called "hunter". He prefers to attack people who leave the team. Also, his eyes cannot see due to mutation. that's why she screams "to scare" because she doesn't know what's going on in front of her. It can detect the other person using its sense of smell.
Nice video sir 😍👌

TheRussianBadger did a great video a few weeks ago about the modding scene in L4D2, and it really brings back memories. But yea, one of the better horde shooters, the mix of regular zombies and the special infected keep the tension up, and having an A.I Director making the game harder or easier based on how your team performs really amps up the suspense.
😎🤟
1:58 nerd fact, the lady who voices Zoey in L4D1 is married to the character who voices Ellis in L4D2, and she lends her voice to the Halo universe as well, as Cortana. this is one of my all time fav games, i still play regularly , i've got 4,500 hrs into it on steam, and a bunch on the xbox 360 version as well before i could buy a nice pc. great reaction! 👍
Glad you enjoyed the reaction and thanks for the nerd fact 🤓🙂
I will admit that I'm slightly surprised that people are still discovering L4D to this day, but I'm glad that it continues to be a novel experience for the favoured few only just stumbling upon it in recent years.
There are a lot of games we’ve missed that are fun to check out and see for the first time 😀
Some good tidbits of info:
This is regarded as one of the best zombie games ever made. Every time you play through, zombies and items are placed in random locations, so they're never in the same place each run, making each run feel different enough it doesn't get repetitive.
There are several different types of "Special Infected", aka the Smoker, the guy with the long tongue. He coughs a lot, giving away that he's in the area. His tongue shoots out, if he gets a player, he starts dragging them towards him, making him great for setting up traps.
The Hunter, the one who jumped/pounced on Louis on the car in the city. They can do a lot of damage real fast. The higher/farther the pounce, the bigger the landing bonus if they land on a player. Also, once he pounces you, he starts ripping at you, and you can't do anything unless helped from another player.
The Charger, he's the one in the overalls with 1 big arm. He charges forward, and if he grabs one of the players, he keeps running for an extra second or 2, knocking away anyone else and starts slamming the player until either one dies.
The Hulk zombie is known as the Tank. Once his music hits, it always makes players pucker up haha. They take an entire team to focus down. They can lift rocks and chuck them at players, knocking them down if hit. They can also hit cars that can all but kill players if they land on them. When he hits you, you literally go flying, and can be knocked off map ledges for a quick death.
The name of the game is teamwork. If the Hunter, Smoker, Jockey or Charger get you, you can't do anything to escape, and need your teammates to kill them in order to get back up.
Also, the badass girl you guys liked, Zoey, is voiced by the same girl who did Cortana for the Halo series.
The funny interaction with Frances and Rochelle, about hating stuff, is very great, because throughout the first Left 4 Dead, Francis, the biker guy, always says he hates stuff. Usually it's quite random too.
The attention to the small details in this game were so good. In the very first mission on the first, Mercy Hospital, when you get to the hospital itself, there's some zombies in hospital gowns. When you progress into some construction zones, you see zombies that are wearing high-vis vests and hard hats.
There's so much more, but they hit the nail on the head on almost every category when making these games. Part 2 really made Part 1 obsolete, because they fixed some issues that made Part 2 much more streamlined.
Anyways, sorry for the big paragraph, just wanted to tell some of the great things this game did and still hasn't really been matched.
Thanks for telling us so much about the game and giving us all this good info 😃
Or you've just played it so much you know where everything might possibly spawn 😂
Dude, you forgot arguably the scariest zombie of them all, The Witch!
@@artsysabs I mean, the AI director is still a dill weed so I expect to deal with a tank during a horde event XD.
Most of the infected were voiced by Mike Patton of Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, etc.
Coach in the second game was voiced by Chad Coleman who later played Tyrese in The Walking Dead.

I have always loved Hunters. The hoodie, the leap, the unmistakable scream as they hurtle towards you.

by far my favorite, love the scream. also love punching them right before they pounce me.
If you do it just right you can kill them mid leap and send them spinning off into the distance. 😂
"Merry Christmas"
Still one of the greatest lines ever uttered in a video game.
So about how it started, the comics talks about how it’s a virus that was originally airborne, and it’s constantly mutating, which is why A) the special infected eventually arrived, even though it took about 2 weeks after it started for them to appear, and B) the virus is, according to them, is unable to be cured. The Sacrifice (the comic, not the campaign) talks more about it I think. I’ve only seen a few pages of it but yeah I’d recommend reading it.
Thanks for the rec! 😃
I spent countless nights with my friends playing the hell out of these games back in highschool. It was a borderline obsession lmao.

Since you asked
L4D is a four player multiplayer game with both online co-op and single player options. So it can be you and three bots, two friends and two bots or four of your friends. The AI is fairly smart but not as good as a real person if coded to be very helpful. There's also a verses mode where up to 8 people can compete against each other trying to complete levels with both taking turns as survivors then as the special infected trying to stop those survivors. Scoring is based off how far you get in the level with completing the level being a perfect score of 1000 and getting 60% of the way through it before dying being worth 600 out of a 1000 points. Each survivor counts as 1/4 of that score so if only one person completes a level it's worth 1/4 as much as if everyone gets out.
Two other things of note, first there are multiple special infected (Like the Tongue guy aka the Smoker) each have their own strengths and weaknesses which I won't go into here but they are called the Hunter, Smoker, Boomer, Charger, Jockey, Spitter and the Tank, there's also npc only Witch and level specific infected (Like the clowns). Last there's something called the AI Director who behind the scenes is tuning the difficulty up or down as well as moving items in the level around based on the difficulty you select. If your doing well it throws more normal zombies and special infected at you, if your doing poorly it will ease back and maybe add a few easy to find healing items or better guns.
The game is different every time you play it, and L4D 2 has all of the L4D 1 maps and survivors in it.
Thanks so much for helping explain the gameplay more and answering our questions 😃

Out of all the zombie coop games I've played, this is by far the best when it comes to fun value, especially with friends.
L4D2 could really do with a remaster or a third one.

@@jerome6519 technically not the devs but technically yes because turtle rock studios were responsible for the concept and early builds of the first game

The Sacrifice mission fact: The name is the sacrifice because bill died for the whole team. Which, Bill was 89 during his death, he was in The Vietnam War and he’s the only military guy left. And how he died was, Being crushed by 3 Zombie Tanks. And Bill returns in other L4D1 missions.
Crushed by 3 zombie tanks 😱
Not sure if it’s been said but in the original plans, the movie “zombieland” was supposed to be a Left4Dead movie. While they changed the idea they still kept the main focus of a group of 4 survivors making their way through the apocalypse trying to reach a single goal while also using bizarre forms of transportation throughout the movie
Oh cool, hadn’t realized that. That’s actually a movie we’ve yet to see actually 😯🤗
Wait fr? I mean I see the similarities but fr?? 👀
@@Glitchyybean Why do you think Tallahassee looks and sounds like Francis :)
Awesome reaction. I use to play so much of the left 4 dead games back in the day. Like other said it was a co op game where you could play up to 4 people together. If there was no one playing in their spot, the Ai would take over. What made the game unique in its game play was the team had develop a director AI for the enemy. It would send the zombies in waves at the players and if they were not doing so well not send as many. Also the director would be in charge of where these specialized zombie would appear However, if the player loitered around more, it would send larger horde to get the players to move on to the next objectives. Once you reach an objective you would reach an safe room. Then you could re- arm and heal up for your next objective. Also with the director AI it mean every person experience was different since it was not scripted event but an AI that was actively evaluating your game. It made it interesting.
With this being a coop game, this mean only through other people help you could get out of grasp out of certain enemy like the tongue guy call out the smoker. This was meant to encourage people to stay together.
Those infected that seem to have special ability were called special zombies and there was the smoker, tongue guys that could pull you away from your team. Then there was the hunter which was the guys that would jump on you and knock you prone or flat. Then there was one not shown but called a boomer which was an bigger zombie that would " this is degusting" vomit on you and have you attract other zombie to you. There is the Tank which is the big hulk like zombie that you saw in the trailers like a mini boss zombie. Very hard to kill and can throw slabs of concrete at you.
The crying girl is known as the witch and like the trailer state you don't put your flashlight at her or else she could run at you fast and get you down quite quickly.
For left 4 dead 2, there is the spatter, the one with the hinge jaw girl in the left 4 dead 2 trailer that spit acid in a zone and the jockey which like the hunter jump on you. Unlike the hunter who knocks you down, it can guide you and often guides you into its other regular zombie. Finally in that one they added the charger. This was a zombie against most people tactic in the first left 4 dead to stand in a corner and shoot away as it charges through your gunfire to pin a person against the wall.
Another aspect of the game in both was called versus where one teams plays as the specialized zombie except the witch. This is where two teams of 4 try to get as far they can or beat the scenario and who get farthest or fastest wins. Its fun as both side gets to go as the injected and the humans. One strategy some use as the specialized is draw players toward the witch or full them toward her and force them to put flashlight on her.
The zombie don't take any specialized head shot to go down. Its just there it does more damage like any other shooter but just so many of them.
Fun fact since I originally from new Orleans is coach in the left 4 dead trailer seem to be sporting Louisiana state University (LSU ) colors as they are purple and gold and that what he wearing.
Its a fun game and you both can get a change to play it it is really fun. It make for a perfect Halloween setting game as well to try out as it can be scary but not to much and more a fun time to have.
Good to know. Witches hate flashlights 😳🙃🥳😃
i didn't know about the director thing
Mannnn! I miss playing this again with friends! Spend over 100+ hours into Left 4 Dead when it came on PC! 😁 One of my fav COOP games ive played in a long time! Loved your reaction to this!
Also Rest In Peace Jim French (1928-2017). He voiced Bill in the game.
😢
I still play this game, on my pc left 4 dead 2 on pc there is over 20k players active. God the good ol days playing this game on pc and xbox 360
☺️🥳
Love all the reactions to my favorite games growing up. So cool to see your introductions to what I first saw as a kid.
☺️🥳🥳😊
9:37 The scene with the hazmat zombies is one of my favorites.
😎🤟
yepp samee its soo badass
Walking in like a hero's arrival, turns out be infected...
@@64_jhex Even the hazmat suits won't stand a chance against the flu. It's so depressing.
L4D1 environment: Depression and Hopelessness
L4D2 environment: 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Am I the only one who see that guy looks like Nick
I know I am a year late, and somebody may have already told you guys, but the guy who did the voicelines for Coach (Chad L. Coleman), went on to play Tyreese in the Walking Dead, 3 years after he was doing voices for Left 4 Dead 2. I thought the voice was pretty recognizable, but never put two and two together. In the little booklet that you would get for the XBOX 360 Edition of the game, all 4 survivors' voice actors were credited in one of the last pages, and surely enough, Chad L. Coleman was the name under Coach. Blew my mind, love that actor and both of these characters. They oddly share some similar qualities as well.
Side note, I made so many great memories from the Left 4 Dead games, and still do to this day. The Steam Workshop is a great and easy way to download accessible mods that range from downright absurd, to adding content to the game that should have been there to begin with, albeit the game already being fantastic as it is.
Amazing how these still hold up with the facial animations, etc.
Also helps they went with "art-direction" over realism.
Definitely holds up cuz this is our first time seeing them so there was no nostalgia bias 🙂
Left 4 Dead 2 is one my my childhood games! Love those memories man.
☺️
Funny thing about Left 4 dead and the reason why it has zombies like the Smoker (zombie with long tongue) it's because it was mainly inspired by Resident Evil, the zombies like the Smoker and the Hunter (zombie with the hoodie attacking Louis, character in black in the first intro), are actually sort of mutated (you can tell they are by their weird aspects, long tongue for example). In fact, Zoey (girl on red jacket) is inspired by Claire Redfield, while Bill (the old veteran wearing a beret hat) is inspired by Mikhail Viktor, both characters come from the Resident Evil franchise.
Can definitely see the Resident Evil inspiration 😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Left 4 Dead is basically someone saying "Ok let's take Resident Evil and do none of it... Left 4 Dead."
@@tranterminus The Smoker doesn´t have a long tongue, the guy coughs out his intestines
@@r.a.fgattaiguy845 Those were intestines this whole time??? Man, I was 100% convinced it was the tongue!
Somethings I feel people haven’t mentioned that is neat in my opinion:
There’s three types of infected in game: common, uncommon and special.
Uncommon are ones I really want to touch on because of how cool but overlooked they are. Ceda workers in hazmats suits, mud people in swamps, construction workers, riot guys and the clowns are considered uncommon each of them have specific maps they spawn in and have their own little catch. Clowns attract other infected, mud men blind and so forth.
But that’s not all! There’s uncommon uncommon that don’t spawn all the time in jimmy gibbs jr and the fallen survivor!
Jimmy was a stock car driver that’s important to the story who only has a 5% chance of spawning in a certain map. (He’s also Elis’ idol and he will sometimes openly cry when he has to shoot him)
The fallen survivor is special in a way because he actually will actively run away from you if injured, you will want to hunt him down because he often carries things like Molotovs, pipebombs, and medical supplies
Love the. “But that’s not all” ☺️ Thanks for sharing this info with us 😀
Chargers and Smokers are the most terrifying enemies to see in Vs mode. Chargers can ram into a whole team off a building and kill em all, or can push the team towards a witch, and Smokers can pull a survivor away during Realism, making separating a no go. If you are going against a pro player with either one of those. On a map with alot of cliffs or edges. You can be certain you are screwed.
I can't believe Left 4 dead 1 and Left 4 dead 2 we're are over 12 years old and still the best zombie game in the world
So many great memories with LFD2, my two brothers and a friend. Alcohol and this game was a party 😬
😂😁🥳🥂🍾😎🤟
Thanks for reminding me of good times
Our pleasure ☺️
I remember playing this game in 2010-2011 and I stopped playing and like 4 days before I remember this game and I just bought an Xbox 360 just to play this two games, and the stories are a lot deeper than what you can think
Seems like an amazing game that tons of people have great memories of and still playing today 😀
L4D taught me that if you hear a woman crying in a random place.
*DO NOT F**KING APPROACH*
😂
13:20 "It's like they're going for the Daryl thing with the vest"
This game came out two years before The Walking Dead show.
🤗
It’s cool as a long time fan and player of L4D to see people’s first reactions to the games.
Glad you enjoyed the reactions 😊🥳🥳
I rlly dunno how u found out about this game and what made u react to the trailers, but I'm super glad you did. I still remember when it first came out and they showed that one L4D2 trailer... me and my friends were thrilled to play this and I invested quite some time in it, but it was worth every damn minute. This one's a certified hood classic. Keep it up & much luv :>
We take requests from community and try our best to get to as many as we can 😇🥳
God i miss those days. Thank you for the reaction. I remember the months leading up to release and being on other social zombie games. Talking to people, experiencing the collective hype. It turned out to be a very good game.
☺️🥳😎🤟
It's funny that you guys talk about The Walking Dead a lot, since both Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 released before The Walking Dead TV show did.
This game is one of the best zombie games tbh, this game literally almost have everything mods, custom campaigns etc. better than other zombie games
To still be popular after all this time says something 🤩
Damn left for dead, just put me back into childhood, and yes Nick suits you very well😂👍
😁🥳
"Nick *suits* you very well"
eheh, nice choice of words
few fun notes, first of all, the special infected as encountered.
boomer: this one is less seen as much as talked about, it's the one with slime that bill wipes on francis. really big balloon like zombies that puke on you or explode on death, they attract hoards when you're covered in their "boomer bile". which actually became a item later on in 2 that you can throw and use to attract a hoard into fire or whatever hazard you want.
witch: the crying super infected who can instantly down you, you can sneak past her if you're careful. but don't get too close, look at her too long, or flash your light on her.
smoker: this one always has a smokers cough and spits up something that it uses to wrap you up and drag you in.
hunter: these ones are super fast and jump super far, they'll probably come at you out of nowhere, but they're super squishy. the infected glass Cannon.
tank: the other super infected, this one is built like donkey Kong and will smash you from close or far away. unloading bullets on him is the best policy.
charger: this one charges through undead and human alike, taking his target in a straight line until he's stopped, careful with this one, cause that "stop" may be in a instant death hazard like charging you out a window and into a fall at terminal velocity.
jockey: this maniacally laughing little gremlin with hop on your back and try it's best to drag you into harms way, weather that's another infected or just away from the group. you can kinda fight it's control but it's not easy.
spitter: this gal's nasty. she likes out a pool of noxious acid that does some serious damage if you get stuck in it, if another special pins you in it? you're most likely dead.
also, as the sacrifice goes, it's cannon that bill sacrifices himself in order to save everyone else on the bridge, you find his body in the passing holding his M16. it's also apparently cannon that after his death his soul was dragged into the embrace of the "entity" in dead by daylight, where he is now one of the survivers.
Thanks for giving us more info on the game and monsters we face in it 😃
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames oh right, and each infected also has their own musical jingle to signify which special infected just spawned.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames also, to comment on what you said at about 16:40
in this game? getting pinned or smoked or jockied isn't a moment of frustration, it's a moment of desperation and panic, cause there's nothing you can do without your team at that point.
The L4D common infected are based off of 28 Days Later and are much faster in game also fun fact Coach is voiced by Chad Coleman who played Tyreese in The Walking Dead. Loved the reaction ❤️
Thanks for the info and glad you enjoyed the reaction 😃
i have this game on my xbox one and i’ve grown up playing this as a kid and this is the best zombies game i have ever played and i still play to this day and it excites me that y’all have reacted to the trailers of both left 4 dead games
😎🤟🥳
[The Sacrifice Campaign]
If you are curious about why would they even raise the bridge, cuz the sail boat was blocked by the bridge, so they had to lift the bridge up to get the sail boat across.
😎👍🙂
I feel like Ken could dress up as Nick (guy with the white suit) for Halloween, I mean he's got the hair
😂🤗😎🥳
Aaaaaaaaahhh memories!!! Wow, so there are still so many people who play this game! I've played many games and so far this one is the best for me. Everything about this game is perfect, from the characters to soundtracks, everything man!
😎🤟🥳
left 4 dead 1 is pretty dead, but left 4 dead to is still decent in some gamemodes.
@@LastBaws yeah agree
I always loved both of your reactions 😍
Thanks! 🥰☺️🤗
Still play these to this very day, gotta be my favorites games ever
☺️🥳
AHHH IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REACTION!! 🤩🤩🎉🎉
