You must work together as a team if you want to have any chance of making it out alive. For those of you who don't already know, Left 4 Dead is a first person multiplayer co-op survival horror shooter built on the Source engine. Left 4 Dead pits 4 human Survivors against 4 human or AI controlled boss infected, which with the help of dozens upon dozens of the AI-controlled infected horde, try their hardest to make the Survivors fail. The four campaigns that will be released at launch are all of the "Survive and Escape" variety, where the group of survivors will have to battle their way through large, varying environments filled with boss infected and zombie hordes in the goal of escaping.

I have to point out a very important detail - THIS IS A CO-OP GAME. It is not Counter-Strike, it is not Unreal Tournament, it is not Doom, it is not Half-Life. I will repeat, it is a co-op game. Everything about it is catered to you and your three friends working together and trying to stay alive - you really don't have much time to worry about anything else! As I will explain in this preview, Turtle Rock Studios has taken a concept that seems so perfect for a game (co-op and zombies), and just about every imaginable feature you could think of and has turned it into an amazing, fluid, immersive co-op experience that has shaped up to be a truly unique and awesome game.

hmmmmmmmm

4 man co-op against zombie hordes.....

this is what Doom III should have been.

Expect TTP to host an instance of this game. And expect me to live there.

This looks very cool.

as if any two teammates are going to be able to keep up.

My bet is the CS guys are the only ones who will keep up the pace.....they're fast.

But in the days since we left them.......they have gotten lazy in checking their corners.....clearing sites.....securing and locking down areas.......

Graphics look tight. Nice story line. Also I see DEAD PEOPLE too!
