Synopsis (Wikipedia)
Like its predecessor, Left 4 Dead 2 is set two weeks after a worldwide pandemic of an infectious disease that rapidly transforms humans into zombie-like creatures and mutated forms that demonstrate extreme aggression towards non-infected (much like the ones in 28 Days Later). Few humans are immune to the disease, still carrying the infection but showing no symptoms. The Civil Emergency and Defense Agency (CEDA) and the U.S. military create safe zones to attempt to evacuate as many American survivors as possible. Left 4 Dead 2 introduces four new survivorsCoach, Ellis, Rochelle, and Nickwho are immune to the disease and have individual back stories that are provided through character dialog. Unlike the first game, which had no significant story development, the five campaigns in Left 4 Dead 2 are set across a story arc, set in the Southern United States, which starts in Savannah, Georgia, and ends in New Orleans, Louisiana.The four survivors have to fight their way through the hordes of infected, using safehouses along the way to rest and recuperate in order to reach extraction points.

Campaign

With Left 4 Dead 2 Valve introduces 4 New survivors as well as some new and old Special Infected. I was a bit upset that they didn't have the Original Survivors but the New ones are pretty good. Anyways, the Campaign goes into some really good order as far as the Story-line goes. First you start out in Dead Center, then Dark Carnival, then Swamp Fever, then Hard Rain, and then lastly, The Parish. It goes into really well order since in Dead Center you have to fuel up the car and in Dark Carnival there are to much card to pass through I believe or it's because the gas, and you leave on a Helicopter and you go into Swamp Fever because Nick had to shoot the Pilot since he got Infected and so on. Bottom Line : It wasn't as messed up as Left 4 Dead 1's Campaign line. So I enjoyed playing it.

Versus

Now we have versus, the versus mode really wasn't as fun as Left 4 Dead 1's but it got there. You have a lot more Special Infected Zombies which are :
-The Charger
-The Jockey
- A Girl Boomer
- The Spitter
- Uncommon Infected (unplayable)
- A Roaming Witch (unplayable) and really playing this I think being the newer infected is a lot more funner then the Original. My Favorites would have to be the Jockey and the Spitter since with the Jockey you could jump onto the Survivors backs and with the Spitter you could just spit all over them. I think this is a +1 for Valve.

Single Player

Once again Single Player is back which really isn't a surprise and once again, you have your computer controlled Teammates and I only suggest playing this mode if you with can't play Campaign mode online or if you are an Achievement hunter and want to get some Achievements easily. It could be fun with a Split-Screen buddy at your house but other than that, your better off playing with Online Connectivity.

Realism + Realism Versus

A New mode that Valve decided to add into Left 4 Dead 2 was realism. I never really liked realism since you can't tell where your Teammates are and it's a bit harder I never played it. The Only way I would possible play it would be if I had some friends with me and they were very good or if there was a certain achievement I wanted to get and I would go after that. Other then that, Nope. You might like it though, it all depends and what you like and what you don't. If you think that you would like to play it and see what it would be like playing without the glow around your guns,teammates,objective points etc. then give it a shot. I don't like it but that's just me, I only don't enjoy playing it because it's a bit hard for me, and the achievement to beating a Campaign on Expert with realism was hard. Trust me though, it was a good mode to add into Left 4 Dead 2 though.

Realism Versus was meant to be added for one week only in a new game mode called "Mutation" and that was only available when you downloaded "The Passing". Since a lot of people enjoyed this new Mutation Game Mode they decided to make it a Permanent Game Mode. Since you have to stay by each other in this and since you have no way of seeing your team since realism enabled, I only played this a few times. I think it's harder to play as the Survivors then it is for the Infection because they could still see the glow around you but you have no way of seeing them. If you enjoy playing Realism and Versus, then you would probably like this kind of game style.

Scavenge + Mutation

Scavenge is a really fun game mode to play since you have to collect the gas tanks and put them into the place where you have to put them. Usually I enjoy playing as the Infected when it comes to Survivors vs Infected, but I like to play as the Survivors since it's fun collecting the cans. The only thing that irritates me are when you have some bad teammates, or when a Spitter spits on your cans and they go into flames. Other then those two things, I think this game mode is Perfect!

Currently, there are 20 Mutations, I only played some of them. These mutations are fun to play since they are not the ordinary Campaign or Versus mode, there different. If you have enough Microsoft Points to buy 'The Passing' or 'The Sacrifice' I think you should buy them for the Mutations game mode. They are really fun, well, it depends what the weeks Game Mode is. Anyways, The Mutation Game mode was a +1 since it is really fun to play and it is included in the DLC Download! =)

Survival

As for Left 4 Dead 1 Survival is now even better then before! You now have a lot more access to some more Weapons, Explosives, Health, and better yet.. more Zombies! I thought the Survival is really fun to play on and some of the Achievements could be irritating and fun at the same time. Since there really are achievements for survival now there is another reason to play it! People have also found out some cool spots to go into to help with the hard Achievements and I found them to be helpful.

Rating : 9.5/10

I think I would give this game a 9.5/10, it isn't a game not worth buying. If I were rate each type of Game Mode Specifically this would be it :
- Campaign : 9.5/10
- Versus : 9/10
- Single Player: 8/10
- Realism (+Versus) : 9.3/10
- Scavenge : 9.7/10
- Mutation : 10/10
- Survival : 9.5/10
Those would just be my Scores though. I enjoyed playing this game and it is fun for Online + Offline play.

Alright, tell me something. Tell me what I copied and pasted besides the Wikipedia and the Game Information, and besides the [align=center things because I used those from my other Reviews. If you find wherever I took someone's review I will Gift you Gold + Give you $10.00 Paypal + 100 Rep alright? No Lie. Has to be exactly like that though with the ratings and everything though.

If it makes you feel any better about me taking this, take a lot at my other threads, you think those were copied/pasted to? I will also send you my Banned Xbox 360 with a copy of Halo 2 (Since it's an Awesome Game) if you some how tell me where I copied all this from.
He went Bye Bye!

TROLL TIME!

What possesses you people to play this game!? let alone buy it!!!?

Worst game ever. I don't quite know what these game creators were doing in the process of making this game. OTHER THAN: smokin weed, taking terns feeding each-other handfulls of pills, and drinking a few bottles of vodka a day.
