Left 4 Dead is a co-operative multiplayer zombie/survival horror game made by Valve built using the Source engine. Left 4 Dead, originally named Terror-Strike, began life as a small Source mod made by Mike Booth, creator of Turtle Rock Studios (now Valve South). L4D was released on Nov 18th 2008 (Steam and boutique stores in the US), the world wide retail release was on Nov 21st. A demo was temporarily available prior to the launch of the full game.
Gameplay
Left 4 Dead pits four human playable or AI controlled survivors of an apocalyptic pandemic against hordes of aggressive "Infected" in a cinematic backdrop in which the players "star" as each character in a fictional movie (eg. No Mercy). The Survivors' goal is to help each other make it through various scenarios to safety. The Infected are controlled by an AI that dynamically balances difficulty and mood depending on the players' progress and situation. In an alternate game mode, human players can control up to four mutated Boss Infected with special abilities and cooperate to stop the Survivor players.
