Zombie Jamboree

Abstract:
Cooperative game play has been somewhat of a drag for PC gamers. You just don't get the same sensation of playing with someone right next to you that you do over an Internet connection. However, this problem may become a thing of the past.

From the developers who brought you Half-Life 2, Counter-Strike and that wonderful graphics and physics engine (The Source engine) we all have come to love, comes Left 4 Dead: a simple, yet effective zombie survival shooter....

"There was an attempt at another mode in which players can actually play as the "special infected" while others play as the survivors, but again, it's short, and its attractiveness dies away pretty fast."

Wow, you must be joking on this one. The Versus mode is the most popular feature of the game. If you open your dev console and type "openserverbrowser", you will notice that a good 2/3 of the servers are Versus servers, and half of those are full at any given time. Personally, I have only completed one of the campaigns on expert (Blood Harvest) and spent the rest of the time playing Versus, because it is far more entertaining. Versus takes just as much co-op as the campaign mode, but this time both sides have to work together. You can't go solo as an infected, because 99.9% of the time (unless you're a tank) you will do little to no damage. But hey, just my opinion on all that.
