Left 4 Dead 2 is the pinnacle of zombie games. The zombie genre is filled with tons of trash and very few gems. But Left 4 Dead 2 just might be the shiniest gem of all. Valve and Turtle Rock studios kicked ass on this game. But is it still as great as YOU remember? Is it worthy of being called "MASTERPIECE?!" Only one way to find out...

    "Is left 4 dead 2 a masterpiece?" Short answer: yes. Long answer: fuck yes.
  • @MrCool-zu1zs
    Fun fact: Rochelle had over 75% of her voice lines cut in the final release. The recent Last Stand update brought most of those lines back so she actually has a personality now

    My favorite part about the L4D2 Boycott group was the screenshot of the member's list when the game came out and they were all actively playing the game.
  • @ModernNCRph
    Left 4 Dead 2, a 2009 game that still has more than 10k daily active players. It ultimately proves its worth on a competitive environment where any AAA game will age quicker than a cheetah.
  • I'll always remember lying on the ground yelling for my friend Zach to revive me and hearing "it's called left 4 dead not risk my neck saving your dumb ass". It was so perfectly delivered I couldn't hold a grudge

    "A masterpiece is something that is barely affected by the passage of time. Where many games age poorly or lose their appeal because something else comes along and does what they do better, a masterpiece is something you can always go back to, knowing you'll have a great time as if you played it like it was brand new." is such a good quote of yours that I will use it in numerous future debates
  • @jasonchaos236
    Fun fact also the special infected have their own noises when they spawn as well and you could memories them to understand which one spawned.

    My first experience with Left 4 Dead was nothing but pure magic. Coming from Resident Evil: Outbreak, Re4, and Silent Hill. Left 4 Dead made me feel like I was in an actual zombie outbreak, where the whole city is in disarray. Chaos everywhere, and a simple, yet effective horde of zombies hunting you down. The adrenaline I felt running towards the first security door after accidentaly activating the alarm of a car nearby was out of this world. And the special infected? Man, what a ride.

    I'll never forget getting dragged halfway across the swamp fever map by a charger modded to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Good times...
  • L4D 2 is immortal. God tier. Its environment is legit scary with all the voices of zombies. The dialogues also are so realistic and we actually feel that we are surviving a zombie outbreak.
  • @ThisOldNeon
    i still play left 4 dead 2 on PC. it get's an average of 13,000 players at a time which is insane.
  • "Shoot anything that moves, especially your teammates" Every multiplayer game with friendly fire on, in a nutshell
  • @RoanokeGaming
    wait a minute, aged cheese can be really good though
  • @Cokenosrep
    Want a game to be a masterpiece? You need Valve. Valve will always find a way to make a masterpiece
  • @Goodnightpun
    Moved out of my parents house and had a hard time being able to talk to my younger sisters but one day i bought l4d2 for them on steam for like 2 bucks and played through the entire game in like 2 weeks. We had a absolute blast!
  • Another completely underrated aspect of this game: offline co-op!
  • @NoisyButters
    my first online multiplayer experience on xbox 360, so many fond memories ;v;
  • @Lv20Bard
    Left 4 Dead has cursed me from childhood by having amazing feeling guns with simplistic feedback that made me believe I had good aim, but now I can no longer adapt to recoil lmao
