Why is Left 4 Dead so hyped

[BenKenobi88]

AHHHH I'M LATE.

I'M LATE TO THE THREAD.


A) AI Director. It makes every game unique...the same replayability of an online multiplayer game like CS, TF2, Halo 3, whatever. It's not like Resistance, COD5, whatever, where it's the same game every time with co-op.

B) Valve. Trust Valve.

C) User maps.  Zombie mods of so many games were the thing for years and years.   Left 4 Dead was Turtle Rock's and now Valve's answer to everyones' mods...their own, superior "zombie mod," from which more mods can be made. Shopping malls, skyscrapers, space stations? Tons of maps are already being made.

D) I'm tired...I haven't been coming here enough lately...I'm too absorbed in the left4dead411.com forums and the official Steam forums, and I just bought Fallout 3 to keep me busy.

E) HOLY CRAP CHICAGO HAS GIANT L4D BILLBOARDS ON EVERY CORNER it's so great.

F) I'm sorry if I've been absent lately, I'll try to remedy it, but it's becoming increasingly hard.  Chances are the L4D demo comes out in a little over a week for pre-orderers, 2 weeks for the rest of the world.  2 weeks after waiting 2 years for this game?  AGH!
