Killing zombies hasn’t felt this good for a long time and since it has been developed by none other than 'Valve' so the gamers cannot skip paying attention. Let’s not forget that this is also their first zombie game. Left 4 Dead 2 is a first person survival game that really puts your survival skills to test with its never-ending swarm of zombies. If you aren’t too big a fan of games that involve killing the undead you might just begin to perceive such games differently after playing Left 4 Dead 2.Kill or be killed. That’s the motto of the game called left 4 death 2. Survival is based on teamplay and not on how macho you can be. In this game if you split from your team you will definitely end up being zombies breakfast. Can you and your team survive the zombie apocalypse? Apart from the deceased the game has five main mutants to deal with. The Hunter is capable of jumping on its victim from quite a distance and can pin down survivors. The Boomer is a large ugly sack of puke that needs to be dealt with from a distance. Once infected by its vomit, you will be a victim of every known zombie around till the vomit wears of. The Tank is another dreadful monster, a fast runner capable of throwing large objects at you, while the Smoker is able to detach you from your team with its extra long tongue and explodes in a cloud of green smoke when killed.Finally the Witch, inactive as she might be, is the most dangerous of the lot and is extremely sensitive to light. She basically just sits and cries to herself until you get too close, point a flash light or shoot her, at which point she attacks whoever disturbed her. The biggest plus point of the game is the AI. The AI dynamically sets the overall difficulty of the game. It is so well designed that it actually tests your team’s capability and accordingly decides on the number of zombies to throw at you while increasing the overall pace of the game. For example, if you are able to survive the onslaught of zombies without a scratch you can be rest assured to expect a hundred more zombies come your way with more visits from the elite zombies. With every new start the number of undead, ammo as well as health packs is randomly placed, ensuring that the game never stays the same.You will also find a Versus mode in Left 4 Dead, allowing a total of eight players with four taking the role of survivors and the others as infected bosses. Players who choose to play as zombies are randomly assigned their boss role and will be fighting along with your fellow zombies. Along with the boss role come a few restrictions in Versus mode. The re-spawn time is long and is somewhere close to twenty four seconds which can break the flow of play.The game is well detailed and everything from the music, to the shrieks of zombies is amazingly done. Even the background music will keep you at the edge of your seat throughout the game. The game might feel a bit short with just twenty stages but the randomization of everything is what makes the game tick.Left 4 Dead 2 MissionsChapter 1: Dead CenterMission 1: HotelMission 2: StreetsMission 3: MallMission 4: AtriumChapter 2: Dark CarnivalMission 1: HighwayMission 2: FairgroundsMission 3: CoasterMission 4: BarnsMission 5: ConcertChapter 3: Swamp FeverMission 1: PlankcountryMission 2: SwampMission 3: ShantytownMission 4: PlantationChapter 4: Hard RainMission 1: Milltown_aMission 2: Sugarmill_aMission 3: Sugarmill_bMission 4: Milltown_bMission 5: Milltown_escapeChapter 5: The ParishMission 1: WaterfrontMission 2: ParkMission 3: CemeteryMission 4: QuarterMission 5: Bridge
