Left 4 Dead  Valve;EA Partners (Valve South)2008A medio camino entre una remodelación del mod de zombies del Counter-Strike y un juego de supervivencia cooperativa aparece el Left 4 Dead, cuya mayor virtud sin duda alguna es que la verdadera competición es supervivientes contra zombies especiales, siendo en realidad un cooperativo en modo versus.
También es de lo más interesante la IA de los zombies genéricos y sus diversas reacciones frente a la luz, el sonido etc...

RU 2008-11-20 by Akella***Built for multiplayer cooperative play (with up to four players), single player is the same as multiplayer except the other characters are AI controlled and not the intended point. The AI generally controls all missing players even in multiplayer games and takes over temporarily if a player goes AFK (at least if they tell it to).***Only English, French, German, Spanish and Russian have full voice-overs, the others are as text only.***[b]Minimum:[/b]

* 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU

Set in the immediate aftermath of the long-awaited zombie apocalypse, L4D's survival co-op game mode is played out across four sprawling "Movies" set in a variety of urban and rural environments. Each "Movie" has an over-riding team objective, is comprised of five large maps, and may be played by 1 to 4 human players.

New technology dubbed "the AI Director" is used to procedurally generate a unique experience each time the game is played. Just as in Hollywood films, the Director calls for new monsters, sounds, and action as it tailors the gameplay experience based upon the team's performance.

[...] Left 4 Dead also includes new multiplayer modes.

* Addictive co-op action gameplay [...]
* Advanced artificial intelligence drives both friendly and unfriendly creatures to dynamically create intense single-player, co-op, and multiplayer experiences every time the game is played
* 20 new maps. 10 new weapons. Four sprawling "Movies"
* Match making, stats, rankings, and awards system drive collaborative play
* Designer's Commentary mode allows gamers to go "behind the scenes" of the game
* Powered by Source and Steam

Left 4 Dead 2 Valve;EA Partners (Valve)2009Set in the zombie apocalypse, Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2) is the highly anticipated sequel to the award-winning Left 4 Dead, the #1 co-op game of 2008.
This co-operative action horror FPS takes you and your friends through the cities, swamps and cemeteries of the Deep South, from Savannah to New Orleans across five expansive campaigns.
You'll play as one of four new survivors armed with a wide and devastating array of classic and upgraded weapons. In addition to firearms, you'll also get a chance to take out some aggression on infected with a variety of carnage-creating melee weapons, from chainsaws to axes and even the deadly frying pan.
You'll be putting these weapons to the test against (or playing as in Versus) three horrific and formidable new Special Infected. You'll also encounter five new “uncommon” common infected, including the terrifying Mudmen.
Helping to take L4D's frantic, action-packed gameplay to the next level is AI Director 2.0. This improved Director has the ability to procedurally change the weather you'll fight through and the pathways you'll take, in addition to tailoring the enemy population, effects, and sounds to match your performance. L4D2 promises a satisfying and uniquely challenging experience every time the game is played, custom-fitted to your style of play.***Más zombies y más pantallas.
Una versión en esteroides del primer Left 4 Dead.
