Valve's Left For Dead

Left For Dead or l4d is the newest game to come out of valves lair with record breaking pre orders and initial sales this game has had an amazing start, with over 700,000 sales in the first month, this game will surely stay strong.

L4D is a post-apocalyptic game where a virus has turned regular people into zombies and there’s just you and 3 other friends to kill all them alone. Fighting through each chapter to eventually get evacuated the finales and horde attacks are completely random and no one will ever be the same.

Unfortunately valve let many people down by only creating 10 new weapons and each using revamped sounds from Counter Strike: Source also by valve. this sparked disappointment as it limited the amount of ways that you could shoot a zombie.

L4d was expected to flare user generated content but this again was also stopped by the way you connect to servers, instead of using the steam default server browser they decided to add a Call of duty 4 style server browser where you wait for a server to become free before you can connect, taking away free choice and leaving you with what you get, this limi9ted the user generated content because now people cant see what type of map they are going to connect to therefore making it generally hard to choose user generated content, and its because of this that l4d shall not live as long as its predecessors like Half Life 2: Deathmatch or Counter Strike: source both by Valve

Counter Stike By Valve; Why it's Successful

Counter Strike: Source is one of the biggest selling online Fps's to date. its all about counter terrorist trying to foil terrorist plans. Many players belive that nobody can eve map as good as the originals, however there are many mappers that use the Cs:s (Counter Strike Abriviation) as their learning point and carelessly releasing the maps but there are those who learned from it, but have come back to it and have mapped successfully.

Some of the Cs:s gamemodes include Defusing a bomb; Rescuing terrorists or Elimination. the gamemodes depend upon the map for example, Cs_mulita as seen on the right is a Rescue Map made by the official Valve mappers.

I think that the Cs:s game will live for many more year to come, even when better quality games are realeased, Cs:s by Valve will always be a game for the history books.
