I had this review up years ago and have no clue what happened to it so since I feel the same I figured I'd reupload it.

With over 2000 (about 3000 present day) hours in this game, I can say hands down, that this is the best game I have played by Valve to date, and is in my top 10 of all time.

Playing since the release of L4D back on my Xbox360, this series never ceases to amaze me.

The gameplay has always been fresh, unless I play the same campaign over and over. I will admit there isn't a whole lot to do after a while, but it's never "boring" and no two games are the same thanks to the director system.

The online isn't inherently bad, though there is some rather unpleasant people I tend to encounter. Most of the time you can get great teamwork going and have a good time.

That leads me on to my next point, this game just for its team play, is amazing and the way it feels to pull off stupid things and still win with the help of equally stupid people is amazing. And pulling off insane infected combos in versus, and just straight not dying playing Campaign due to your team sticking together, and working together, just feels good.

Versus is iffy, its an extremely fun gamemode, but the online versus players kinda ruin it, so I opt to play with friends. Not everyone is bad, I just feel most of the toxicity, that all online games are bound to have, comes from there.

Now, even when the game gets a little repetitive, the steam workshop always comes to the rescue, with an almost infinite supply of maps, mutations, scripts, and even just basic reskins, the game will never get old.

Overall, I have really enjoyed this game and plan to continue enjoying it for years to come.
