It was a long time – almost ten years ago. Two enthusiast developers – Min (minh le) And Jess Cliff (Jess Cliffe) – release modification for one very famous game, calling it Counter-Strike. After some time, the guys pour into the slender ranks of the company Valve, A "counter" It turns into a cultural layer uniting people who bring money and is considered a full -fledged sport, but we bring to another. Announcing his new brainchild – a shooter based on joint passage Left 4 Dead – The developers promised to make approximately the same coup in online games that their debut project made their debut. And, you know, they were right.

"You do well. For White Peoples!"

Everywhere in the crowd of zombies. The bulk of them is continuous grayness, for nothing that they bite, quickly run and selected from behind. Others dress in originally, make frightening sounds and attack suddenly, with the aim of breaking, pulling or knocking down.

… But the main characters are sneaking in the middle of urban landscapes – a rude biker Francis, fragile in the appearance of Zoe, a middle -sized manager Luis and an elderly but hardened veteran Bill. No, typical "The girl jumps higher, the biker is stronger than health, and the office guy yells louder" Do not wait here. The characters are full of coloring, but they do not allow them to open completely, although you want to be in the next shootout, and not confuse one with another.

There are a lot of shooting here. Actually, the whole game of it consists – four campaigns (each at five levels) do not contain areas free from "infected", only their number is changing per square meter. Entering a small room, you can easily get bogged down in an epic fight "Two hundred against four", and go through some area calmly, without a single bullet released.

IN Left 4 Dead There is only one principle: hold together. Do not stick out in vain, constantly cover each other and do not run the barrel on his associates. The whole power of the four in firepower, and if at least one stops shooting, then the risk of returning to "Safe room", which begins and ends most of the levels, rises sharply. The desire to help skillfully cultivates, encouraging all kinds of "Achivations" and messages. Vasya, they say, covered Kolya, Vasya well done.

"Give me that molotov! Oooo! Nom-nom-nom .."

Doubtful surprises and saving first -aid kits are thrown by the most important – director. Its task is to give easy rest to desperate and cool self -confident. Changing "on the fly" the level of complexity is no longer in the novelty, but Valve I went further: with each level load, the location of all resources and "Bossov" It is put upside down, and if earlier a saving cabinet with a red cross awaited the players literally two steps from the crowd of zombies, then with a new attempt it may be empty. There is nothing to be treated? Well, forward, after a couple of exhausting battles, you can hope for something.

IN Left 4 Dead The most valuable thing is that it allows you to feel every stamp, every situation that could be found in films "About zombies" And at the same time it does not spread his hands, referring to the supposedly outdated engine. Source, it turns out, can still give the heat, but what! On the screen a hundred polygonal dead – performance and does not think to fall. The plane is broken at the torn airport, and the admiration of some Unreal Engine 3 is backwards, because there are dozens of fragments in the air, and you will not be at the explosion with all the desire.

Cooperative Volnyushch somewhere until the twentieth passage. With a good Internet channel and faithful friends who also have a copy of the game, to familiarize themselves with four ways to survive with a zombie apocalypse is unlikely to leave for more than ten hours. The director surprises how he can, but from "Your mother: Game" Left 4 Dead turns into a kind of serious sam. This is where the most important revolution leaves, which was served very in vain without a special pump: the Versus regime (in it people also pass the campaign, and zombies – already interfere with the behalf of other players). The opportunity to play for the dead he fascinates in earnest, the benefit is given to the steering not dull "extras", and those whom the infection affected in a particularly dramatic way.

"Take that, White Peoples!"

… But the main characters are sneaking in the middle of urban landscapes – a brutal parkingate hunter, a swollen boomer, a lover of cigarettes "Belomor Plotinus" Smoker and hardened by the tank. No, typical "One zombie quickly runs, the other jumps quickly, and the third yells loudly" obviously not wait here. The characters are full of color, and they give them completely. Only here they survived even in a shootout will want to, and not confuse them with the usual zombies.

The hunter can climb on the roofs, is not at all afraid of heights and can overcome a very long distance in one jump. Having landed on the hero who had fought off the group, he begins to whip him hard on his cheeks, so much so that they begin to decrease "Hit Punts". If no one will come to the rescue for half a minute – write, as they say, letters.

The smoker grew up a huge length of his tongue and can pull out the gaping human individual into an open area, helpfully allowing him to enjoy the society of various zombies and comrades in the best of. And he is a kind of anti -advertising of the entire nicotine industry. Such we did not meet hopeless cough in any game.

Boomer has one joy – carry smelly masses to the masses. Hiding the overall body behind some kind of garbage box, he expects a naive person to cover it with dirt (it doesn’t matter, exploding nearby or "Firing" the stench concentrate from the mouth), and then run aside – it is very fragile. Dozens of infected people fly to the smell, like flies, and, as you know, there is no saving.

Program nail – tank. Hefty colossus is almost immortal, tears whole pieces https://www.krizia.it/wp-content/pgs/una-panoramica-di-bizzo-casino-bonus-e-giochi-esplorati.html of asphalt, and then throws them into the enemy. Well, or just beats with fists weights of poods at five, the result is still one: any one that falls under the hand flies away (on the hills such a blow can become fatal) and sharply begins to want medical care. However, they give a guy to manage exclusively on holidays when a team of mutants loses by points.

Actually, the moral of the article was originally clear: we must take. With a good provider and at least an hour of free time a day, pleasure is guaranteed. And competitors, apparently, will not appear soon. And if they appear – be sure that they will largely follow the example Left 4 Dead.

P.S: All headlines in this article are approximate quotes of one English -speaking player, actor in the shower and a 4Chan website lover.ru, whom we never got it, but the whole campaign went on and with joy. Thank you, nigga, surviving with you was fun!

P.P.S: Distributor Left 4 Dead In Russia – a company "Akella" – Obviously, our youth considers very mentally tempered. If in the Western edition of the buyer politely warns about the presence of divided and a light mat inscription "Mature" (from 17 years old), then in our area a sixth grader can shoot in infected – an age qualification on the box went down to 12 years old.

Pros: excellent atmosphere;Fresh game mechanics.
Cons: lack of a normal server browser;You can’t play together on one computer.
