Mods for Left 4 Dead are great. Nothing like a raptor fighting off a swarm of zombies with Homer's chainsaw, then hearing the Old Spice whistle-jingle a second before Terry Crews ploughs through shouting "POWERRR!"

This man absolutely smashes advertisements. I rewatched the ad just for the "When are you gonna tell me about that sex thing?"

My mom loves this game. She is 65 and loves to play multiplayer. On her birthday this year, we brought up two TVs and two 360's and played 4 player. It is a lot of fun, even if I suck at it.

9:45 i haven't played L4D in years, how the fuck did those three notes make my body instantly go into high alert?

"Dont get knocked off" "I got knocked off". Not my proudest moment

The "Charger went from HandJob to HandCareer" made me spit my tea over my keyboard thank you Bricky

That opening ad was glorious

I remember playing OG L4D in high school, New Years Eve with the boys. One friend was ignoring texts from his annoying girlfriend, one drank like half a 12pk of Mountain Dew and was seeing into the Matrix, and another was on my PC trying to play WoW and L4D at the same time. It’s crazy how carefree life used to be.

"It's like a theme park. You can go shotgun, you can go sniper, assault rifle..." god bless the american flag

“This guy took a chrome shotgun instead of a silenced smg, I’m gonna call him a slur in chat.” This my friend, is wrong. Chrome is best gun in the game

HOWIE'S GAME SHACK? Throwing me back to middle school at the speed of light Bricky

This game is the only game that never gets deleted from my computer

"man of culture" Shows r34 Me too, bricky.. Me too

Can we just talk about how stylish bricky is in each and every video

Dude growing up on l4d animations and parodies is a golden memory of my childhood

Wow, I was LEGIT waiting for the Hunter Scream jumpscare at the end there.....

“You people disgust me” I found out what Subverse is Bricky. You have a lot of nerve...

This is probably the greatest co-op game of all time. I have hundreds of hours just playing with my buddy. We had pet names for everything and it was always a blast.

One of my favourite reasons is the animation of a normal zombie, when he is on his knees and he just keeps twitching as long as u shoot bullets into him with a submachine gun! =D

I forget the hotel map in L4D2 but its the part that has you traversing on the lip of the windows and balconies on floors above in the hotel. I will never forget the absolute fear of someone in versus being a charger and yeeting themselves and my friend off the building. They waited in the windowsill for someone to pop up and showtime. I about shit myself and if my friend didn't take the lead last minute that'd be me on the pavement. Love that shit.

Haven't played L4D in many years but damn that Hunter Scream gets me everytime. The scream followed by "Jesus christ where is it!?!" and watching it jump around like a cat on catnip. Good memories : )

HARDDDDDD agree on the sound design. The three musical notes are always followed by the crescendo of me shitting myself

It's so good! I still go back to it almost every day

This channel is the reason I bought my first Space Marines/Necron Armies and why I’m 2 1/2 games into the original Mass Effect trilogy, thanks for changing my life man!

2:07 There's a third type of person: those who actually don't have a reason to shit their pants when they hear that sound because they've never played L4D

The Director A.I in L4D2 is probably the best definition of "Simple yet effective" coding there is. If you enable the Cheat Mode and Debug Console in-game and look up for Director Commands online, you can pretty much understand rarher quickly what each command does and you can also alter the way it behaves.

i like how he didnt even bother talking about the witch cause only true gamers know why we never speak of the witch

No other game to date can make me feel the same awe, joy and adrenaline every single time I play it after 4k+ hours. Nostalgia only fuels the fire. I played under an hour of B4B before refunding it and immediately queuing up Dark Carnival

9:32 I haven't played in years and that triggered my flight or fight.

On the aspect of teams, I remember playing with a dysfunctional group of three others in a campaign, and by the end we’re a force to be reckoned with. We didn’t leave any of each other behind

"took chrome shotgun instead silenced smg ima call him a slur" im dead

That hand career pun was the best thing I heard in years, good job.

“You can’t survive alone, you need your teammates to save you” Me: laughs in solo survival Great video, glad people are still returning and having a good time

"Having dumb fun with the homies" Companies should go back to that...

what makes me come back to l4d is the intense modding community. it's like you're playing a new game every time with the skins, maps, etc

Best part of hunter for me is the fact I have an addon that plays "cannibal Shia LeBeouf" whever he's nearby walking around a mall and you just hear "SHIA SUPRISE!"

These video essays are dope Bricky, and getting them out quite frequently with top quality. Keep it up king

Haven't stopped playing L4D2 in over a decade lol will probably be playing it for another decade, one of my fav games of all time. When you've got a good team with you there's not a better team up game out there to this day. Would love for it to get a full remaster someday but with Valve as it's owners I'm not holding my breath lol.

job career had me in tears

17:43 That guy's laugh sounds like Bill's

The game is still hella fun to this day. You don’t even need a beast Pc to run the game.

I've actually been playing l4d2 for the first time with a couple of friends because it was on sale for like 2$ and we've been having a blast

Thank you for bringing light to my favourite childhood game. I adore this game with all my heart. 12 year old me would sit down playing xbox 360 with a kinect microphone (yeah, THOSE days) and just grind left 4 dead 2 for hours. First game I experienced online gameplay with and it was like magic. All these other people from around the world are playing this same game with me?! It was the best. So, SO many hours spent on Versus with friends or achievement hunting on Expert. Seeing the community update come to L4D2 and seeing the no. of players skyrocket just brings me with joy. This video was so well put together. Captured everything I love about the game and taught me a bit too :) Didn't know about the game director. I knew bits and pieces but didn't know it tailored witch/tank/horde/item spawns depending on your progress. The more you know :) From the bottom of my heart man. Thank you.

2:17 can't just provide me a meal without giving me the sauce.

I am still waiting on The Act Man's video on this gem of a game. This will be more than equal I imagine. Also I'm still waiting for a dedicated Titanfall 2 review from you that I remember you said you were making like a year or so again. I will continue to wait patiently.

Video should have been: what makes (almost) anything by Valve great and memorable for years to come. Regardless, L4D2 is hella fun too

Last time I was this early, Bricky had legs!

The source engine is just a piece of art, it allows for incredible stuff. Every time I play I forget this game and this engine are over decade old. What I love most here are the sound design including the music placement, THE INCREDIBLE LEVEL DESIGN. I have never gotten lost in this game. The last and probably most important is zombie animations. The way they run, behave and DIE have been so well crafted, so much work has been put into that and it shows. They have mocapped hundreds of animations and programmed them in such a way that a zombie death is just a random ragdoll. It's actually incredible. Anyone that isn't impressed by it should just watch a back 4 blood and Left 4 Dead comparison it's night and day. Crazy well made game and to me that's what Valve are known for. I'm relatively new to the game and I haven't finished it and that's only because I always end up introducing another friend to this game and I play the first 4-5 chapters when we have time and then the cycle continues. I have yet to grow tired of those first few chapters.

A L4D video? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one

So I'll be seeing you Darktide, right?

The no going back fence can be jumped from the other side if you go at it from an angle apparently.

5:02 “This guy took the chrome shotgun, I’m gonna call him a slur in chat.” 😂

EASILY one of the greatest games of all time. Me and my buddies started making videos on L4D and it's been nothing short of hilarious. Glad to see larger creators showing love to such an incredible game :)

I've been playing Left 4 Dead 2 a lot these past several months but I usually just avoid versus mode and stick to running campaigns on expert/realism, or playing custom campaigns I glossed over in the past. I guess what reeled me in was playing the Back 4 Blood Alpha and not really enjoying it as much as I do l4d2. I used to play the game here and there, but I've stuck to it lately just because I discovered a custom server I like frequenting, alongside a lot of other people who play pretty much every day during their free-time. It's just nice to play a co-op game with replayability, released right before the era of hyper-monitization in the multiplayer games industry.

You should really do be having more subs and views for this, this video is underrated, because you really nailed all of the great things about the game and you're very critical about it. You are also really funny, even the ad itself is really hilarious and entertaining. Keep up the great and awesome content you make.

Always nice to see a video from you again

It's a good day when bricky uploads.

I have never rushed to a video until I saw you uploaded this

5:30 wow choosing DCA photos for the theme park analogy really threw me for a loop. I'm literally going to Disneyland tomorrow, and I'm up watching this vid at 4:59am instead of sleeping lol what a surreal feeling seeing the Pixar pier photos. Ik it's not that big of a coincidence but it def threw me for a loop lol

Bricky Deadass be following my life, I first got in to 40K about a week before he released his faction explain videos and the past 3 weeks I’ve just introduced my best friend to left 4 dead 2 and been experiencing the game all over again- love the content!

Absolutely love L4D, easily my favorite multi-player game of all time. Used to play competitively in 2010. I only just recently got a PC and bought it to play again for the first time in probably 8 or so years, so if anyone that plays on PC would like to group up, I'm always down to meet fellow L4D players. Still new to mouse and keyboard so I'm super slow and playing bots games.

8:21 That’s a crazy transition from stumbling to hanging on the elevator I didn’t even know it did that shit that’s crazy advanced Especially for its time

these vids are so organized and easy to watch. thank you bricky

i haven't been this early since "oh shit, i'm sorry"

One of the best games I ever played, even if zombies terrify me.

Me and my 2 buds sat down and decided to play all the L4D2 campaigns back to back to back & it was honestly some of the most fun we've had in a long time. My friend Jayden kept speed running through all the levels & was clowning us for not keeping up with him, but he & my other friend died on the run across the bridge to the helicopter. The last thing I said as coach rode off into the sunset was "slow and steady wins the race"

Hey Brick! Been watching your vids for a long time now and I'm happy to say that the content you've been putting out has been by far my favorite! Love your style and how much you really put in. Keep up the amazing work you talented bastard!

What keeps bricky so GREAT even 6 years later?

I been preachin’ this for years. Speak, my man. You’re part of our little group. ...and we look out for our own.

I've been playing Left 4 Dead ever since it came out, I was maybe 7 or so. My brother introduced me to it through his XBox 360 and I'm still playing it now at 20 on my own pc. Now i just fill my games with mods and play campaigns with randoms😊

I wish I could have fun in Versus, but every single match I get into has the “epic gamer” tryhards who votekick you for doing something that they didn’t approve of 2 weeks in advance

Left 4 Dead will always be my favorite game, when it came out I was addicted to it.

i was just playing this earlier today lmao easily one of my fav games of all time

Artist of culture at 2:17 is Owler. Makes some quality sauce. Go wild, gentlemen.

the funny thing about the Hunter screech is that it didnt scare me because it was louder than usual for effect, but the minute those three notes chimed in I fucking did a doubletake WOW. God damn I miss this game.

sadly i dont have anybody left in my friends list who plays L4D2 but damn i love this game, and yah i hate you for playing the hunter sound so often

Fun fact: Mike Powell does the voice of the common infected and the Hunter. And yes, that IS his actual voice.

That distinct "get ready to be ridden"-sound Jockeys make stille freak me out to this day!

9:45, after 3000 ingame hours my brain immediately played the followup notes to that jingle...

As an expert lfd 2 player, I can safely say, that the jockey is the bane of a survivors existence.

Gnome chompski is the sole reason a L4D community still lives

9:08 the hash slinging slasher. Very well done bricky

Why are your ads actually entertaining, usually I skip by ads by man, these are good

We have a friend who lives to disturb the witch and throw the gas and light it up on us... and even with that, the game's still fun af

Wait Bricky, how did you even know that there is R34 for the Spitter?...

Nothing makes the hairs on my chest stand up more than the dreaded noise of the Hunter ( 2:11 ) Some people take it as the wailing scream of warning , of an impending doom in a black hoodie. I hear it as a challenge call, beckoning me to square up. This is probably why I consistently keep getting downed by Hunters in the first place, probably.

12:55 they will also say “behind you!” When you are getting flanked by zombies. Or “look out!”

Hey Bricky can you do a video about Dying Light/Dying Light 2?

I think this is where Dead by Daylight got it's inspiration from.

5:27 14yrs later I wouldn't have guessed that I'd be watching a l4d video at work and seeing this bit of exactly where I work at 😭😭

A great part of vs’ design is the losing team plays survivor second. This means they have the advantage of knowing; when the tank shows up, if there’s an alarm to watch out for, if there’s a witch, which path splits are in play, and generally get the foresight to allow them to approach scenarios safely while the winners have to go in 100% blind to what will happen. It’s a subtle fair way to get people to comeback from deficits and a lot of games suck at that. Like a non video game example, you either got baseball where the solution is “tough tiddies just accept you’ve lost” or the family fued solution of “well 70% of the competition doesn’t matter for the sake of keeping it a ‘close’ game” so the fact that such a simple solution solved what could have been a major problem for who gets the lead early on is impressive.

I feel like I'm not cultured enough after seeing those zoom ins of Zoey, time for some research~

Rip to the people who got this video spoiled for them by the script writing stream

Bricky, giving a placement for us to see when the ad ends, thank you, you're amazing.

9:47 i had the chills from just remembering that

I was expecting a jumpscare when he disappeared. Too much L4D

Funny how this video was made a day after my friends convince me to buy it, and I’ve only played once but enjoyed the hell out of it, can’t wait to play more. Ps we need a resurgence of this game

I still play campaigns nearly everyday. Its my go to relaxant. Borderline 800 hours now of l4d2. You could find a new campaign nearly every day still.

You forgot to mention bricky about the special zombie song you could get in the beginning of the parish map at the jukebox :)
