The game requires an internet connection to connect to Steam in order to install the game, but this fact does not seem to be mentioned anywhere.
I have no idea why they didn't update them. I love this game and have played it almost every day since I bought it. However, the screenshots are from the BETA of the game. If you want up-to-date, accurate information, I'd go to the L4D Wikia. I highly advise reading the tips, required software, and overall feel of the game before buying it.
You will have all kinds of fun blasting those dirty, nasty zombies. I been out of the PC games for a while but finally got back into it with Left4dead. It is a zombie apocalypse game (dawn of the dead, land of the dead etc.). It is so easy to connect to multiplayer via the internet. You can also easily use voice chat over the game (need a webcam microphone optional).
I think if valve had gone f.e.a.r, silent hill or DOOM on gamers, people would be frightfully scared to play the game. In left 4 dead, it is manditory that you work as a team in order to win, and I think thats what makes a great multiplayer game successful is the good gameplay mixed with teamwork.negatives: The campaign is a mixture of "sigh" and "meh" because the campaign is so repetitive, there is no actual storyline and the game doesnt really take you from beginning to start, you can kind of decide what levels you want to begin and end.The graphics are not the greatest or best, but that shouldnt be an issue because in the end gameplay dominates graphics. There are so many first person shooter games in the world being played (multiplayer) and i have to say I was once addicted to modern warfare.well now things have changed.positives: The game is very addictive, and fun, its fun to help out teammates, i think thats something valve has accomplished is the expectation of living is keeping your teammates alive. The bots are really boring to play with, they are in a way lifeless, but I have to give credit to valve on trying because i know it is not always easy to create a.i.Overall left 4 dead is a great multiplayer game.
In other fps games you are on your own and if you decide to help out a teammate that is up to you. Left 4 Dead, is a great game. That is just a personal preference though as I have played games like f.e.a.r., silent hill series and have never gone back.I figure people have so much crap in their life why add more. Versus.Co-op.Single player.The majority of the time you spend with this game will probably be versus or survival. The zombies or "infected" they call them are not really that scary or intimidating.
Another thing is the bots. I was skeptical at first because i always look at the graphics in a game, which is not important, and turned out to be that left 4 dead could end up being the greatest multiplayer game this year.(thats counting out gears of war,call of duty, halo, etc). Other fps games like call of duty modern warfare, you really dont care that much how another person is doing or what their health status is because the game itself doesnt give you those details. The game has 4 options. This is a plus for me because I dont want to be totally scared when im playing a game.
I do however think that the cartoonyness of the zombies is unique. Survival. Go ahead and pick up your copy today, you will not regret it.
Only complaint about this game is only four campaigns and a limited amount of weapons and zombie types. Left 4 Dead is a excellent game overall (4 1/2 out 5 stars). Single player campaign is excellent, but the multiplayer is what makes the game awesome. Anyone that buys this game will have a blast. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys first person shooters.
