The Gameplay
In Left 4 Dead 2 you play in a post-apocalyptic world. An unidentified illness (dubbed Green Flu) has infected people and turned them into zombies. You control one of the four available characters who are immune to the virus. The rest of your team is controlled by other players or by the AI.
The game contains a total of 12 campaigns, and each of them has three, four or five stages. Between the stages, you can find safe haven in hiding place and the infected cannot access them. You will find there more equipment and some first aid kits.
With a weapon in your hand, you start exterminating the zombies – this is how we can describe the gameplay in a nutshell. You have a wide range of deadly gadgets to choose from. Over time, you will gain access to even more destruction tools. The ability to play in a team is very important during the game.
