[@o2_breathless839]

I think what I like the most about the intro is how realistic the ending is. Louis is celebrating that they made it through everything, but then is snapped back into reality by Bill when reminded that all they did was cross the street. This perfectly reflects the game where what feels like a lot of progress going from one chapter to the next feeling like a lot of progress is in reality something that could’ve been done in like 5 minutes in life before the infection

This is probably the greatest video game intro of all time. It teaches you literally everything in the game, shows you all of the types of infected (except for the Boomer), all of the mechanics, and even the character’s personalities can be interpreted heavily from it. Whenever I play Left 4 Dead 1 and see this, it never fails to get me excited to play the game.

[@lordfrazao1026]

if you look carefully at 0:25 you will see the remains of the boomer leaning against the wall. Probably the goo that Bill puts on Francis is his, which would explain the horde of zombies a short time later in the alley

[@kanko3477]

Technically it does show you the Boomer with the green goo that bill rubs over Francis being Boomer bile which is why they get ambushed.

[@aaagameplay2023]

You know, I'd like to think the boomer is the zombie with the hand sticking out since it shows the green ooze that a boomer normally uses. And thus, attracts all the zombies

[@tukes1234]

Don't forget it also shows you how useless Lewis is. And how he must be murdered at the end of every campaign.😂

Things the intro teaches you about the gameplay, like some kind of hidden low-key tutorial: 0:28 - The infected are mutating, and rapidly so. Took them only 2 weeks. There's more to this than just generic zombies. 1:11 - Existence of Witches. 1:22 - Random Horde attacks. 1:27 - Witches are startled by light. 1:32 - Doors can hold infected back, but not for long since they are inevitably broken. 1:37 - Francis shoves a zombie back. 1:41 - Louis keeps shooting the witch and she's still not dead. This wasn't worth the trouble - should've just left her alone. 1:44 - Smoker introduction: his one of a kind screech and his ability to attack survivors from range with his tongue. Bill can't escape himself - Francis has to save him, which introduces mandatory teamwork aspect. 1:54 - Francis "revives" Bill. 2:03 - Pipe bombs. They beep and attract infected, to the point they they turn 180 and run away from survivors. Very useful. 2:17 - Hunter introduction. Extremely agile and nible, stalking you from the roofs. 2:29 - Hunter Pounce. Once again, Louis can't escape himself and has to be saved by Zoey - teamwork is mandatory or you're dead. 2:38 - Cars that blink in yellow are bad. Very bad. Loud sounds bad in general (but not gunfire?...) 2:45 - Proper Horde attracted by a loud sound. Big trouble. 3:00 - Tank introduction: can punch cars and use them as projectiles to a devastating effect. Tank's theme can be heard for the first time. 3:06 - Tank doesn't give a shit about other infected. 3:12 - "Run or shoot?" "Both" - best / optimal tactic to deal with Tanks. 3:26 - Ladders. 3:39 - Tank's rumble throw. 3:47 - Tanks can climb. 4:02 - Survivors can pull their hanging friends. 4:08 - Ammo stockpile and medkits can be seen. You'll learn to love the sight of these. 4:12 - "I can't believe we made it..." "Son, we just crossed the street." - every step a fight. You'll fight for your goddamn life just trying to cross the street. 4:24 - Previous statement, solidified. Notes: - Bill is the only one armed with a Tier 2 weapon - M16 rifle, while Louis and Francis are armed with tier 1 UZI and pump-action shotgun respectively, and Zoey uses secondary dual 9mm's for some reason. - Innacuracy: Witch fails to break through the door, when in the game she breaks it in a single hit. - Boomer is the only special infected who isn't shown here. I wonder why. - The ending of the intro acts as the start of the first "No Mercy" campaign. During the events of the intro all survivors lose their primary weapons: Francis loses his shotgun when Tank hits him, Bill drops his rifle while climbing the crumbling ladder and Zoey loses her 2nd pistol when she almost falls. Louis is the only exception - you can't see the moment when he loses his UZI, yet he starts the game without it. Plothole much? - The remains of a ladder can be seen in game, blocking a path. Strangely, no corpses or remains can be seen behind (or under) it.

[@SadenIsWatchin]

Boomer was in the trailer. Bill smeared Boomer goo on Francis

[@ArtekGeneral]

@@SadenIsWatchin Yeah, but we don't see his model, don't hear his noises, and the goo doesn't seem to have any effect on Francis (or Bill, for that matter). So while one could argue that was boomer, it is in no way an introduction all other specials got. It doesn't teach anything mechanic wise and so in-game boomer is a suprise.

[@subtractie1593]

@@ArtekGeneral The Boomer actually does appear, albeit as a corpse in the alley when Bill is checking out the goo, which might be where he got it from. About 25 seconds in lightning goes off and you can see it's blown up corpse leaning against the wall to the bottom left. It's true the Boomer does not make a proper appearance, although he is there if you are curious.

[@AParticularlyConcernedCitizen]

The zombies actually do react to gunshots, flashlights and even footsteps, but only when it's nearby, likely due to the fact that their hearing is severely damaged and gunshots sound loud to us but extremely muffled to them, indistinguishable from most other noises. The reason high pitched sounds get them riled up is because they have greatly increased sensitivity to them, so they're not chasing you when they come, they're trying to attack what's causing them extreme pain and assume it's you.

"Son we just crossed the street." When you stop and think about it, and really let that statement sink in, its scary to imagine trying to fight your way OUT of a city. It also shows the veteran is still saavy of his surroundings in combat, even after Vietnam.

[@rock1145]

Bill is also the one who notices first notices that the witch is a zombie, and comes up with the plan to fight the tank ("Run or shoot?" "Both!"). That instinctual, on the fly decision making is very likely something he developed in Vietnam and it serves him just as well in the zombie apocalypse. The character moments are great in this intro. You can see that Zoey is the kind one, wanting to rescue everyone she can (Going to help the "Crying woman" and saving Louis from the hunter. Louis, while scared and out of his depth, is still the optimistic one in the group ("We made it!") Francis is having the time of his life and likes making fun of the others , even daring the Tank to fight him in the alley. He's in his element as much as Bill. And all of them protect the rest of the team no matter what. Even Francis. Capturing the characters and the spirit of the game excellently, in addition to cinematically showing off many of the mechanics. This is a very smartly written intro.

@@NYWallCrawler So true, Vietnam was the most disturbing and psycholigical war that ever existed imo. Going from lies, cold war, civil rights movements, nuclear threats, spy agents, mobsters, drugs, dense jungles and you name it. There is thousand and thousand of stories about what happened in Vietnam, that everyday when you think you know it you just do half of it. Vietnam is a very complex subject and that's why no one likes to talk about it. It was a very disturbing war, since it was like a turf war instead of a war with fronts.

This is what I love about the left 4 dead trailer, it proves that teamwork is essential! If nobody was there to help Bill from the smoker, then Bill would be a punching bag for zombies. If nobody was there to help Louis from the hunter then his insides would be on the outside. If nobody was there to help Francis when he got slapped by the tank, then he would be Demolished by the zombies and the tank. And finally, if nobody was there to grab Zoey and pull her up before she fell off the roof, she would have fell to a pit of zombies and would’ve gotten ripped apart. I just found this awesome

@@grizzlyowlbear3538 even L4D dont reffers the zombies as zombies, They're actually alive but in a Constant rage all the time, thus why the game calls them infected rather than zombies or Undead (common infected/uncommon infected/special Infected), apart from the credits that states "X zombies got harmed during the recordings", but I think Its more of a 4th wall break rather than the game saying that They're zombies. They're not walking corpses like zombies because the disease of l4d actually makes the infecteds lose their conscience, but not kill them on the spot, instead they die over time due to sickness, but while They're alive they Will do their best to either infect other survivors or kill the ones that are immune. Both the L4D survivors and the players reffers them as zombies because thats what they look like the most, Lol.

I’m torn between which group of survivors I like more. In this game it’s a highly intense brief storytelling of their start of survival, which was awesome But in L4D2, it was a montage of the other 4 survivors taking everything out some comedy, and took it in a new direction. The tank was truly a fearsome enemy here and they barely defeated it, in 2 Ellis pretty much blows his head off with the grenade launcher and downs it in one shot. Could really go with both.

You have to remember that Left for Dead 1 took place 2 Weeks after the infection started, then as the trailer states, special infected JUST became a thing. So the trailer is basically their reaction to seeing all special infection for the first time. Left for dead 2 took place 1 week after left for Dead 1 ended (The sacrifice happens as LFD2 survivors make it to the mall and take the car). So although 1 week really isn’t that big of a difference in skill, the characters not only were aware of the special infected but also had names for them (according to rochelles remarks about the special infected and the names the other guys gave them) and how to take them out.
