Starring Bill, Francis, Loius and Zoey *Left 4 Dead* is a cooperative first-person shooter set in a zombie apocalypse, emphasizing teamwork and survival. Players choose one of four survivors, each with distinct personalities, and face relentless zombie hordes across various campaigns. The AI Director adjusts enemy spawns, ensuring each playthrough feels fresh and challenging. Weapons and health supplies are scattered throughout, but teamwork is key to survival, as straying can be fatal. The game's intense pacing, combined with well-designed maps and a variety of zombie types, makes it both thrilling and unpredictable, offering an exhilarating experience that rewards coordination and quick reflexes. The achievements are very funky and interesting too. https://youtu.be/6vdCS8gztrI

Great game but you should really buy L4D2 instead. It comes with all of L4D's content + a ton more.
