About

Cooperative survival continues with a different set of characters. New survivors are making their way through 5 campaigns with an added ability to play through the story of the first game as well, using not only expanded arsenal of 20 ranged and 10 melee weapons but improved AI Director. Your surroundings and weather will change; enemy and item placement will differ from map to map, from difficulty to difficulty. New unique special zombies, placed in the unlucky for the player spot, can end your run.
High compatibility with community mods will allow you not only to add user-created maps but player models, enemy models, and even in-game music, which will help any player to create the unique experience on top of solid game mechanics.
Competitive multiplayer mods from arena survival to a head-on competition with another team of survivors are addictive and, in addition to the campaign, will provide you with hundreds of hours of game content.

Left 4 Dead 2 reviews and comments

After playing Back 4 Blood I understand how good this game
im crying in nostalgia...... and a pile of shit because it also made me shit myself 10/10
«Blew my mind»
the best Left 4 Dead game?
Will coop ever be this good again?
This part represents more open and dynamic gameplay in comparison with the previous one.

The game has significantly expanded the arsenal of weapons. Melee weapons such as a baseball bat, guitar, machete, and even an axe have appeared.

New types of special zombies:
Charger, Spitter, and Jockey have been added, each of which adds a new level of complexity and strategy to the game.

More advanced AI
Also made improvements to the «AI Director», making the gameplay even more unpredictable.

Overall, «Left 4 Dead 2» has truly improved and expanded the already successful formula of the original game by introducing new elements and improvements that make the gameplay even more engaging.
«Time-tested»
Tried it and played couple of times. I'm usually into these types of FPS games but this seemed odd, too over the top. Got really repetitive and boring really quick.
«Boooring»
8.5/10
«Can’t stop playing»
«Constantly dying and enjoy it»
One of the best zombie game series ever it's even more fun with a friend I've played this with my brother probably 3 times really awesome story and characters.does have long missions but is very short story I hope one day they will announce a 3rd game very awesome game does hold its value for how short it is.

Again, there are four Survivors to be denied by countless Zombies. Pardon, by countless Infected people. Left 4 Dead 2 Plays in The same Time frame as the first Part, only in other Places with other Heroes. The Backstory, however, remains as thin as usual: Some undefined Plague has erupted in the US, turning nearly the entire Population into squabble Brain-eaters. Now it is up to a Truffle of four People to make their way through the Southern United STATES to New Orleans; Reportedly one of the few Places on the Map where not everyone wants to say everything yet. As in Left 4 Dead, the Journey is divided into Chapters with four to five Sections each, separated by a Charging sequence in a Shelter. If there were still four Chapters in the first Part, there are now five. As usual, You can experience them alone alongside three AI companions or--much more spassly--in the Team with three other players in five Levels of difficulty. This Co-op mode is more recommended because Game Mechanics and Presentation of Left 4 Dead 2 Become quick to drift after a few Sections. Only the panicked Screams, Warnings and general Breathing a Sigh of relief of real People, once another particularly crisp zombie attack, make the Title a real Experience. It was no different with the first Left 4 Dead. So a Headset is Mandatory! Old Acquaintances Hunter, Boomer, Smoker, Tank and Witch are joined by the Spitter, the Charger and the Jockey. The Spitter spits, clearly. Highly toxic Acid spread widely on the Ground. The Charger looks like the little Brother from the Tank, he pushes towards his Opponents, lifts them off his Feet and then smashes them to the Ground over and over again. And the Jockey does exactly what the Name suggests: He sits on a Survivor's Back and almost completely takes Control of him. The Victim can only try desperately to hold against it, but usually he is directed specifically into a Zombie Horde or into the green Poison of a Spitter.
