Valve was on fire in the '00s, and along with innovative single-player FPSes like Half-Life 2 and Portal, the developer advanced the craft of multiplayer FPSes with the stellar Left 4 Dead series. Even though the zombie phenomenon of this decade was becoming a bit stale by its back half, the asymmetrical gameplay of Left 4 Dead gave players a unique, expertly crafted experience—as well as a series that still has a healthy player base more than 10 years later. On this episode, join Bob Mackey, PC Gamer's Wes Fenlon, and duckfeed.tv's Gary Butterfield as the crew discusses why Left 4 Dead is a series destined to stalk the earth long after its death.

Note: This episode was recorded weeks before Back 4 Blood's release got delayed to October 2021 and we take no responsibility.

I always wanted to play the L4D games, but as it was mentioned, the transition from console gamer to online competitive gamer was a difficult hurdle to overcome for most. And at the time, I had none of the current consoles. But for a game that was basically everything I hated around that time, it speaks volumes that I was so interested in it. Hearing about it here makes me want to pick it up, so maybe someday. And I'm also very opposed to voice chat in games. There is nothing that kills my enjoyment, or even ruins my day, faster than someone in Overwatch getting on mic just to tell me I suck. When I find a good group that laughs at their mistakes as much as yours, it's a great time. But more times than not, it's 30+ year-old dudes who want to be the next esports star to have allegations against them.

Damn, I loved that game so much. I think it was the last online FPS I really played intensely. I switched to PS4 from PC aim … 2014 I think and never looked back. Has it really been ten years since Left 4 Dead?

Bill as the boomer would be perfect. You know when he's coming when he's wailing Lenore. You can even have special dlc where boomer bill is dress as Lenore.

This is one of my favorite Bob episodes. L4D came out of left field and growled and munched into our hearts. The speed with which L4D2 came out a year later had me thinking that this would be an annual franchise like Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed so it was disappointing that the series ended at numero dos. And that music.....always brings back the fear and dread that I experienced back in the day.
