Left 4 Dead is one of the most popular co-op games. The story of four survivors fleeing from zombies, and even stylized as a horror movie, turned out to be close to the players mainly due to the brilliant execution of all the author's ideas and the multitude of tactics that can be used during the passage.
Instructions
Step 1
To play on the Internet, use the licensed version of the game. By installing it, you will automatically be taken to the Steam community, which will help you create your own (public or private) match, and coordinate with friends or random players.
Step 2
If you want to install the game over a local network, you will need to manually enter the IP of the computer with which you want to create a match. One player must open the command line and enter the word map there, and then select a location in a new window. This will create a local server.
Step 3
Other players should (after knowing the friend's IP) enter: connect ***. ***. ***. ***: 25017, where instead of asterisks there will be address numbers. The same technique can be used if, for some reason, it is inconvenient for you to play on official servers (high ping, for example): you just need to create a conditional local network using Hamachi and create a game in the specified way.
Step 4
Never split up in the game. The gameplay itself implies a certain set of tactics, the first of which is to stick together. According to internal scripts, if a character is at a considerable distance from others, either an infected person or a crowd of zombies immediately attacks him. If the attacker is the Smoker, then you risk losing a colleague to the nearest checkpoint, because do not have time to reach him.
Step 5
Distribute responsibilities. The players do not have to be the same - in this case, you lose your tactical advantage. Of course, the shotgun is an indispensable melee weapon, but in this case, you remain defenseless at long distances. An ideal combination - a player with a shotgun is in front, kneeling down (this will increase accuracy), while his colleague with an UZI or M-16 is moving behind, shooting zombies at a distance. Substitution of a third player with a sniper rifle is possible, but it is very poorly balanced and is virtually useless.
