Chapter 303 Game Release
Left 4 Dead has been officially released.

Actually, in order to achieve the first multi-region unlock achievement.

The unlocking time for domestic games is not very player-friendly; it's midnight!

This time is indeed too late for office workers and students who are used to healthy lifestyles or need to get up early.

But... tomorrow is the weekend, so that's a different story.

And the game has been really popular lately.

Twelve o'clock at midnight.

The internet cafe on the back street of a certain university is brightly lit.

The air was thick with the smell of smoke and the spices from cheap instant noodles, while the sounds of keyboard typing, mouse clicking, and the occasional shouts or cheers formed the constant background noise.

Su Deqiang, who had returned to school, was sitting in front of a computer, his eyes shining, staring intently at the icon in the AG gaming platform library on the screen—Left 4 Dead.

The moment the icon lights up.

He immediately nudged Zhang Peng, who was at the camera next to him: "Pengzi! It's on! Hurry up and go in!"

Zhang Peng was idly scrolling through his phone, his screen showing a girl's WeChat Moments post that he kept refreshing but never saw any activity from.

He was shoved by Su Deqiang and immediately looked up in annoyance, his eyes showing obvious dark circles: "Brother Qiang, are you sick? You really want me to play games all night? I just broke up with my boyfriend less than a week ago, and instead of letting me heal my wounds this weekend, you want me to play zombie games with you in this smoky place?"

He pointed to the time in the bottom right corner of the screen, "And look, it's already past midnight! Exactly..."

"Heal my ass!"

Su Deqiang scoffed and interrupted him directly: "That's called unrequited love! Stop talking nonsense and hurry up, Avalon's masterpiece of the year! Zombie cooperative survival! I guarantee it will make you forget all about love and romance, and give you an amazing experience!"

"..."

Zhang Peng was speechless for a while, and then leaned back irritably, crossing his arms: "Come on... you're still so smug. Avalon is awesome, I admit, but they're awesome at making mobile and online games! I'm not interested in those single-player games you mentioned before! And didn't some players say that online?"

They say Left 4 Dead is just a technical experiment by Avalon with their new engine, with simplistic gameplay and a short game, and charging over two hundred dollars is just a way to rip people off! Look at that trailer, what's there besides shooting and hacking? I'd rather treat a girl to a nice meal than waste my money on that…”

His tone was full of distrust and resentment at the cost of his wallet, clearly showing his dissatisfaction with being forced to work all night.

However, he wasn't entirely without substance.

Because some players have indeed said that.

no way.

Once the game gains popularity, these kinds of comments are bound to appear.

"fart."

Su Deqiang scoffed at Zhang Peng's complaints and retorted without turning his head, "You know nothing! You believe what those 'know-it-alls' and trolls on the internet say? You didn't like Avalon's previous games like Undertale and Outlast, but don't you know how to rate them? Most players criticize the theme or gameplay, not the attitude. How many people criticize their work? How many people have you seen saying they're bad? Their attitude towards making games speaks for itself!"

"The previous games were like this, and you still think this game, which looks even more high-spec, is a technological experiment? A cash grab? You've seen the gameplay demo! No way! What kind of hype would an experiment generate? Would an experiment be promoted this heavily? Trust me, it's an absolute masterpiece! You won't want to leave until dawn! If you leave first, I'll cover your internet, okay?"

Su Deqiang spared no expense to recruit his brothers.

"...Okay! You said it! If it's not interesting, you can buy everything in the cafeteria next week!"

Finally swayed by the internet fee, Zhang Peng, with a somewhat reckless attitude, slowly opened the platform, muttering to himself, "Hopefully it'll be worth the price..."

Su Deqiang readily agreed: "Okay."

The two started downloading the game.

After all, it's not my own computer.

It's pretty fast, though.

"...See that? This atmosphere! The menu alone blows all those fancy games out of the water!"

Su Deqiang, who had downloaded the game first, immediately started playing it.

After a brief blackout, several logos flashed by, followed by a low, somber background sound effect, and the title screen of Left 4 Dead popped up.

"..."

Although Zhang Peng had complained not long ago, upon hearing this, his body language betrayed him, and he turned slightly to look at Su Deqiang's screen.

The somber color scheme and tense music were indeed somewhat interesting... but he still stubbornly insisted, "What good is a nice-looking interface? Once you're inside, it's all just shooting..."

"Even 'tap-tap' rifles come in different grades! Let me show you what a top-tier 'tap-tap' rifle looks like! So, have you downloaded it yet?"

"It's coming soon."

The two bickered for a while.

at last.

Zhang Peng also opened the game, and the same main menu popped up on the screen.

He pursed his lips: "This music sounds a bit creepy... How do we play online?"

"Let me see……"

Su Deqiang explored the game and looked through its various modes.

The gameplay of the cooperative campaign has been introduced on the store page.

A maximum of four people can work together.

However, it does take some time to get used to the game the first time you open it.

"I know how to book a room now, let me invite you..."

Su Deqiang quickly found the option to open a room and then directly invited Zhang Peng, who was online.

Zhang Peng entered the room.

"You choose a character, and I'll check the difficulty level..."

Su Deqiang studied it for a while longer and finally chose the normal difficulty. Then the two of them selected their characters and started the game.

The loaded page appears.

Not a moment.

Then the game's CG was released, recreating the fierce battle CG that Avalon released before the New Year. However, this time there was a follow-up. Facing a tidal wave of zombies, the four protagonists fought and retreated, and after many hardships, they finally reached the rooftop of the apartment where the helicopter landed. But what awaited them was the fact that the rescue helicopter had already left.

The four main characters shouted for the rescue helicopter to return, but to no avail.

It appears that the rescue helicopter is heading to the evacuation point near the shopping mall.

and so.

The four main characters stood on the rooftop of the apartment building, cursing the departing helicopter, and finally decided to storm the shopping mall!
The intense battle, the departing helicopters, the burning shopping mall... the realistic visuals and oppressive background music quieted Zhang Peng's complaints, and he subconsciously sat up straight.

Loading completed.

The CG ending seamlessly transitions to the four characters appearing on the rooftop of the apartment building.

The game has officially begun.

Listening to the conversation between the characters, Su Deqiang walked to the small table where weapons and medical kits were placed.

"The atmosphere... was alright."

Zhang Peng also controlled his character to follow, reluctantly acknowledging a fact, but his tone still carried a hint of nitpicking: "But I still don't understand..."

"Enough talk, grab your weapons!"

Su Deqiang controlled his character to grab a medkit, then headed straight for the weapons table. He exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap, a crowbar, a fire axe, doesn't this need an FPS?"

There is no primary weapon at the start of the game.

Only melee weapons and pistols are available.

"You've been fooled."

Zhang Peng also arrived at the small table where the weapons were displayed. Looking at the two melee weapons on it, he scoffed, "Only pistols..."

"Probably because it's the first level, let's try out... the contestant gun first."

"No, I want to try the fire axe."

Zhang Peng refused outright, picking up the fire axe: "I want to see how this thing is supposed to kill zombies, and then I'll make you pay for internet..."

Say it.

He waved his hand in the air a couple of times and said somewhat perfunctorily, "Hmm, the feedback from the wave is alright... I just don't know how it will be in actual combat, no guns in an FPS, haha."

"Okay, I'll take the pistol."

Su Deqiang did not object, but he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

However, playing games is all about having fun, and he couldn't wait to play this game, so he didn't care about anything else.

the other side.

During their conversation, the four main characters began urging each other to go downstairs.

Su Deqiang and Zhang Peng, one carrying a pistol and the other a fire axe, led the way downstairs.

The environment became dark.

The round flashlight light source turned on.

The two arrived at the eighth floor of the apartment building.

The door to the eighth floor is closed; we can't go down any further.

Without hesitation, Su Deqiang pushed open the door, revealing a gloomy, blood-stained corridor.

Not far away, several dazed zombies were wandering aimlessly in the distance.

"Look at me!"

Seeing this, Zhang Peng, wanting to prove that the game was nothing special, strode forward and swung a fire axe at the nearest zombie.

Whoosh—plop—snap!
The axe blade whistled through the air as it slammed into the zombie's shoulder and neck! Accompanied by a sickening crack of bones breaking and muscles tearing, the zombie's head flew off!
A large amount of dark red blood splattered out, not only staining the axe blade, but also a few drops of blood-stain effects instantly splashed onto Zhang Peng's screen, briefly covering it with a layer of scarlet! The zombie's body slumped down like a tattered sack.

Zhang Peng paused for a moment while holding the mouse, and his eyes widened slightly.

I rely on?

The impact and gore... were much more intense than he had anticipated!

"Tsk, it's just so-so, like chopping a wooden figure."

Zhang Peng was stunned for a moment, then controlled his character to swing the fire axe again, trying to cover up the impact of the previous swing, and stubbornly said something.

then.

He caught a glimpse of the open door on his left, revealing a room full of zombies.

His eyes lit up, he immediately turned his head, and then repeatedly clicked the right mouse button, swinging the fire axe in his hand.

call--

Accompanied by the sound of breaking the air.

The axe swung at the zombie that pounced on him.

Then, following the instructions, he pushed aside a zombie that lunged at him, and then swung his fire axe again, taking it down one by one.

He hacked down all the zombies in the room.

"..."

Zhang Peng looked at the zombies scattered on the ground, swung his axe once in the air, and then smashed his tongue again.

This feels pretty good...

"What are you standing there for? There's more!"

Su Deqiang's voice rang out, and the pistol in his hand made a crisp popping sound, as if he was somewhat excited.

obviously.

The game's appeal was evident from the very beginning.

Seeing that Zhang Peng had cleared away the zombies in the room on the left, Su Deqiang immediately went out and walked forward, then entered a room that resembled a conference room.

Then shoot when you see a zombie.

Accompanied by spitting out tongues of fire.

Countless zombies sprayed blood mist as they flew backward and collapsed to the ground.

Excitement gradually spread across his face: "Holy crap! This is going to be awesome!"

"..."

Zhang Peng didn't say anything upon hearing this, but his grip on the mouse tightened noticeably.

He controlled the character, carrying the blood-stained fire axe, and rushed into the conference room that Su Deqiang had just cleaned.

There were also a few lone zombies inside.

"Whoosh—Pfft!"

"Crack!"

Zhang Peng swung his axe at the bloodied and mangled zombie!

Like a god of war!

then.

After the room was emptied.

"Fuck..."

Zhang Peng finally couldn't hold back any longer. He subconsciously muttered something and looked around the room he had emptied. A subtle, primal sense of destructive pleasure quietly arose within him.

That was actually pretty cool...

A good zombie game is one that, even if you've never played one before, makes you want to keep playing from the very first shot or attack.

Although in Tang Yao's past life, the Left 4 Dead series has remained popular for a long time, many people attribute most of the credit to the Workshop.

But even excluding the Workshop, there are still people online every day for the official Left 4 Dead campaign, which has been going on for over a decade.

It's true that you can get tired of the official campaign.

Unlike third-party mods, this can't be modified frequently, and you'll definitely get tired of playing it continuously.

However, if you get tired of the game and then say the official campaign is bad, then you're really underestimating the Left 4 Dead series.

Aside from player conversion charts like the Bone-Chilling Cold Stream.

The other main story maps are meticulously crafted.

For players who are new to this type of game.

The official campaign is simply godlike!

And it's the best way to experience the charm of the game!
Take the two of them as an example.

They were already captivated by the game as soon as they started playing!

"Right! I knew it!"

Zhang Peng muttered to himself in a very low voice.

But Su Deqiang still heard it, and glanced at him with a mixture of excitement and smugness.

"What? It's only just begun."

Zhang Peng realized what was happening and stubbornly continued, "Who knows what will happen next!"

"Fine, you're really stubborn."

Su Deqiang laughed and cursed, then charged toward the safety door leading to the fire escape, gun in hand: "Hurry up! There's movement ahead!"

Zhang Peng muttered a few words, saying things like "I've only just started playing," "There are only melee weapons," and "There aren't many zombies," which were hard to understand.

But Su Deqiang ignored him.

He could only keep up.

The two pushed open the heavy fire door, and an even stronger stench of blood and decay seemed to waft out through the screen. The narrow stairwell was almost completely dark, with only the pale beams of flashlights flickering in the darkness, illuminating the floating dust and large, blackened bloody handprints on the walls. From downstairs came a chillingly rapid thud of footsteps and low growls.

This, combined with the dialogue between the characters, creates a truly immersive atmosphere.

"..."

Zhang Peng's previous perfunctory attitude vanished without a trace, and his gaze became focused without anyone noticing.

He then slashed down three more zombies.

Then Su Deqiang and I prepared to head to the next place.

But as soon as I stepped outside...

Glug... Ugh...

A low, sticky sound, like the churning of a broken sewer, came from behind the door.

"Boomer!!"

Then, accompanied by the character's heart-wrenching warning!

The music suddenly went up, and the shrill alarm sounded like steel needles piercing the eardrums!

A bloated, ball-shaped man covered in putrid, foul-smelling pustules was blocking the middle of the narrow corridor!
"What is this thing? It's disgusting!"

Zhang Peng was startled and instinctively tried to back away from his character.

But it was too late! The Boomer jerked backward, and a large gush of thick, bubbling, dark green bile shot out like a high-pressure water jet, precisely covering Zhang Peng's entire screen! His vision was instantly and completely engulfed in a nauseating green! At the same time, a glaring red notification popped up: [Hit by Boomer's bile! Attracting a horde of zombies!]

Then, an even more terrifying scene unfolded!
After a horde of corpses.

A tsunami of roars and footsteps echoed from all directions! Drawn by the deadly stench of bile, a horde of corpses surged forth like a black tide! From the end of the corridor! From the rooms on either side! From even the most inexplicable places! Their target was Zhang Peng, shrouded in green, like a sitting duck!

"Holy crap! I'm blind! I can't see anything! Brother Qiang, save me!"

Zhang Peng panicked instantly, his mouse moved wildly, his character spun around in place, and he kept swinging his axe.

"Don't move! Don't move!"

Hearing the sudden change in music, Su Deqiang panicked, his adrenaline surged, and the muzzle of his gun spewed flames wildly. Bullets rained down on Boomer, causing abscesses to burst and fluid to splatter.

At the same time, gunshots rang out from the AI ​​teammate.

It's very chaotic.

It felt like being there in person.

After finally clearing out this horde of zombies, Zhang Peng's green vision finally faded.

He had just caught his breath and hadn't even had a chance to curse.

"Charger!!"

The character exclaimed again.

then.

The piercing warning music rang out again.

Zhang Peng watched helplessly as a nearly two-meter-tall, rock-muscled, abnormally thick right arm charged across the corridor, crashing through ordinary zombies in its path like an out-of-control armored vehicle, roaring and charging straight at Su Deqiang with destructive force!
It rushed up to Su Deqiang and knocked him to the ground.

Then, it roared, grabbed the character he was playing with one hand, and slammed it hard into the ground.

[I'm under attack, I need my teammates' help]

"Help! Help! Help!!!"

Su Deqiang fell to the ground, saw the notification, and frantically waved the mouse.

This time it was his turn to shout.

the other side.

Zhang Peng witnessed Su Deqiang being thrown into the air, and then the huge blaster grabbed the black guy played by Su Deqiang with one arm and slammed him repeatedly to the floor.

Meanwhile, a bunch of small zombies pounced on them from the side.

Teammates are trapped, and zombies are swarming in.

The scene was chaotic for a while.

The atmosphere immediately became lively.

"Fuck!!!"

Zhang Peng's eyes widened instantly... and his adrenaline surged.

He had just been sprayed in the face by Boomer and his vision had just returned when he saw this scene. The visual impact was stronger than killing a hundred ordinary zombies!
"I'm coming!"

So very quickly.

Zhang Peng realized what was happening and excitedly roared, his shout almost drowning out the background noise of the internet cafe and attracting the attention of many people.

You couldn't tell at all that she had seemed reluctant just moments before.

He steered his character forward, pressing the left mouse button hard, controlling the character like an enraged bull, wielding a blood-stained fire axe and hacking at the raging giant shadow.

The AI ​​teammates continued to fire bullets, leaving bullet holes in the charging attackers.

Finally, the charging rider collapsed to the ground with a desperate howl of despair.

Zhang Peng was rescued in time, but his health bar was reduced to a shockingly small bar.

"I...I'm so damn..."

While administering the medication, Su Deqiang exclaimed, "I thought it was going to be a relaxing trip... The difference between these special infected individuals and ordinary ones is just too great, and they have absolutely no sense of martial ethics!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Peng burst into laughter, his lips involuntarily parting into a wide grin.

His previous doubts seemed to have been cleaved away by the axe blows.

He forcefully hacked down the last zombie, staring at the blood-stained fire axe and the mess on the screen, feeling the thrill of conquering a powerful foe, and excitedly blurted out, "Holy crap! Awesome!!"

Su Deqiang was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Now you know, right? Keyboard warriors don't know anything! Games are fun, aren't they?"

Although he just cursed that it was unethical.

But ultimately, I was still excited.

After all, if it's really just about having fun, then it's all about enjoying yourself.

They'll definitely get bored very quickly.

Musou is really fun.

But it's just about having fun. The addition of special agents increases the variables and chaos, while also making the game more interesting.

Because it's unknown!

"..."

Zhang Peng did not answer Su Deqiang's question; all his attention was completely absorbed by the chaotic, bloody, yet deadly world on the screen.

He controlled the character, the fire axe stained with blood again: "Shut up! Keep going! Damn it, let's get another one of those big guys! This time I'll just smash it in the head!"

But his attitude has already said it all.

He also found it very interesting!

Seeing Zhang Peng's completely ignited enthusiasm, Su Deqiang grinned and quickly wrapped his bandages around himself: "Alright! Charge! Conserve your medicated packs, I have a feeling there's something even more intense coming!"

The two regrouped, and a dialogue between the characters began at the right time, encouraging each other and keeping a watchful eye on every corner of the darkness.

The harrowing experience they had just had did not dampen their enthusiasm; on the contrary, it acted as a shot in the arm, igniting their desire for unknown challenges.

And next.

The game truly did not disappoint them at all...

The subsequent game process completely exceeded Zhang Peng's initial expectations and ignited Su Deqiang's fervor.

They controlled their characters, fleeing for their lives through the burning hotel corridors, flames licking at their vision, and thick smoke blurring the screen.

Then they fought a bloody battle on streets littered with abandoned vehicles, using the wreckage as cover to evade the seemingly omnipresent Special Senses.

Finally, they rushed into that shopping mall, which was like hell.

During this time, unexpected events and thrills never stopped.

The hordes of zombies were everywhere... As soon as the alarm sounded, a tsunami of infected surged in from all directions. Narrow corridors and open squares became meat grinders, with bullets and axes flying everywhere. It was truly shocking.

And those special senses!

As I was walking down the street, I suddenly heard a faint, mournful, and heart-wrenching sound of a woman crying.

Then the two of them curiously went over.

Haven't reacted yet.

"ah--!!!!!!"

A soul-crushing shriek, filled with endless resentment and madness, suddenly erupted! Terrifying background music surged like a tsunami! The witch spun around on the spot with inhuman speed!

The character instantly collapsed to the ground.

God knows what Zhang Peng was thinking at the time...

I was completely dumbfounded.

This was just one of them.

We encountered all sorts of problems after that!

But to be honest... it's precisely because of all sorts of circumstances!

It actually makes the game more fun and enjoyable!

Especially during zombie hordes.

That was truly an army of thousands!
The two became more and more engrossed in the game.

He started shouting and yelling, sometimes slamming his fist on the table and yelling, and sometimes holding his breath and concentrating.

This, coupled with the atmospheric scene on the screen—a horde of corpses flying everywhere, ferocious and deadly special agents, devastating Tanks, and a chilling female ghost crying in the darkness—successfully attracted the attention of other night owls in the internet cafe.

Many people put down their games and curiously gathered around the two of them.

In the dim light, young faces were illuminated by the screen, watching the thrilling scenes, listening to the tense commands and exclamations of the two, occasionally letting out low exclamations or amazement such as "Holy crap!", "What the hell is that?", "Awesome!", and "That scared the hell out of me!"

What was originally just a corner for two people has unknowingly grown into a circle of people, all focused on the life-and-death drama unfolding on the small screen amidst the swirling smoke.

When Su Deqiang and Zhang Peng finally rushed into the safe house on the top floor of the shopping mall, exhausted, the heavy iron door slammed shut, shutting out the hellish noise outside. Behind them, there were even a few sighs of relief and scattered cheers.

"Awesome! That's fucking awesome!"

Zhang Peng, completely oblivious to what was happening behind him, was still engrossed in the game. Looking at the prompts in front of him, savoring the feeling of his recent rampage, he slapped his thigh hard. His previous doubts were long forgotten, replaced by pure exhilaration and a burning desire for the next level: "Next level! Next level! Again! I won't be sleeping tonight!"

Su Deqiang was also engrossed in the game and didn't notice what was happening behind him. His face was flushed with excitement. He slapped Zhang Peng on the shoulder hard: "Is it fun? I'm asking you, is it fun? Was it worth the price? Was the internet fee worth it?"

"Worth it! It was fucking worth it!" Zhang Peng sat bolt upright, completely unfazed by his previous disdain and reluctance. He excitedly pointed at the screen, "This horde of zombies! This teamwork! This special infected! Holy crap! Qiang, did you see that? My last axe strike! That one on the Hunter! It saved you! Wasn't that awesome?"

"Handsome my foot! If it weren't for my excellent marksmanship, you would have been dragged into the toilet by Smoker long ago!" Su Deqiang laughed and cursed, but his tone was full of excited agreement.

Just then, a bystander, drawn by their commotion, couldn't help but peek over and ask, "Hey bro, what game are you guys playing? It looks so exciting! All that shooting and making such a racket?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Peng almost reflexively turned his head sharply, his eyes shining, his voice even louder and more excited than Su Deqiang's, practically spitting out saliva: "Left 4 Dead! Avalon's new masterpiece! Just unlocked! Let me tell you, this game is amazing! It's not the kind of mindless shooting game! There's teamwork! There are special infected! There are hordes of zombies! The atmosphere! The impact of the combat! It's truly incredible!"
And it's only a little over two hundred! An absolute steal! A million times better than taking a girl out to dinner! Trust me! Buy it now!

He spoke rapidly, gesturing wildly, as if he wanted to pour out all the thrilling experiences he had just had. His fervor made him look exactly like a missionary completely conquered by the game. There was no trace of his previous concern for his wallet or his skepticism about the game.

Su Deqiang stared blankly at Zhang Peng, who was ten times more excited than himself, for a moment... and finally came to his senses.

Something just doesn't feel right...

Is this change that big?
Have the two of them been playing together for a long time?
He immediately glanced down at the time.

Then I realized.

Only forty minutes have passed.

Less than an hour.

……Dry!!!

……

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean.

Ben Carter, along with his three online friends, two real-life friends, and a randomly matched stranger, navigated through the Death Center chapter and reached the safe house on the top floor of the shopping mall.

"Holy crap! That tank almost made us shit our pants!"

In the team, a teammate shouted excitedly in the voice channel, his voice trembling with excitement.

Another friend chimed in, "Yeah, my hands are still shaking! Did you see how it threw the car?! It was insane! But so cool!"

Ben Carter was also thrilled: "Well done, guys!"

Several excited cheers immediately came through the headphones.

then.

"Next level! Next level!"

"Come again, come again!"

"I can not wait anymore!"

"..."

Clearly, after a brief exchange...

They couldn't wait to play the later levels.

"Let's go."

Ben Carter, too, waited for the game to load, and while checking his weapons and ammunition, he exclaimed sincerely, "But to be honest, this is really fun... Even though I didn't choose a high difficulty level, it keeps me on edge the whole time. This game is amazing."

"Yeah! This is the best cooperative shooter I've played in years! I've played so many FPS games, including well-known ones like Warband and Starbound, but this kind of experience... is truly unprecedented!"

"Haha, think about it, what is a traditional FPS? Gunfights, capturing points, testing reaction time, testing marksmanship. But Left 4 Dead... it's completely different! I can only say that this zombie gameplay is really fun! The atmosphere is also fantastic! The moment the alarm goes off, the oppressive feeling of the horde of zombies surging in from all directions... and the witch's cries in the darkness, it's absolutely chilling! Even though I know it's a game, my heart just keeps pounding uncontrollably!"

"Technically, there's nothing to criticize... The whole game is incredibly smooth. With such a massive horde of zombies, and the complex movements and interactions of the special infected, the optimization is amazing. Avalon's technology is absolutely top-notch... It's hard to believe that this is their first time making an FPS."

"Haha."

Ben Carter, realizing his friends shared his thoughts, suddenly had a thought and couldn't help but laugh as he asked, "Guys, what do you think those old-school FPS games that rely on annual sequels and fixed modes are thinking... seeing a monster like Left 4 Dead suddenly appear? I bet they're under immense pressure! This game has set a whole new benchmark for cooperative shooters, and even the entire FPS genre, and it might even lead the trend!"

"I guess they'll be unhappy."

"It might create a strong sense of crisis, haha, but it has nothing to do with us. Just thinking about it is so satisfying! Let those arrogant guys worry about it!"

"that is!"

"Don't stop, guys! We just need a quick breather in the safe house! Is your magazine full? Let's move on to the next level! I can't wait to try out that shotgun!"

"Go! Go! Go!"

"Let those rotten things taste their own medicine!"

With a few shouts filled with fighting spirit, the four-man squad pushed open the heavy iron door of the safe house without hesitation.

And at the same time.

There are so many players like that...

Rather, this is merely a microcosm.

Avalon, and Left 4 Dead... this time they've truly become famous overnight!

Because of this game, sales on the AG platform exceeded 150 million copies in just 24 hours after its release! And this is only on a new platform! This doesn't even include other console platforms!

Sales volume is actually secondary!

After its release, this game's gameplay dropped a bombshell on the entire cooperative shooter genre, and even the FPS genre as a whole!
