Best Left 4 Dead Levels To Play While Waiting For Back 4 Blood

Among the most anticipated games of 2021 is Back 4 Blood, the spiritual sequel to the Left 4 Dead series being helmed by many of the original game’s developers. First announced by Turtle Rock Studios in March 2019, the game was finally unveiled at The Game Awards 2020. Especially coming mere months after Left 4 Dead 2 got its first update in eight years, providing new levels and survival maps for players to enjoy, Back 4 Blood’s scheduled release date on June 22 has especially serendipitous timing.

While Back 4 Blood does look like it will be faithful to many of its predecessors’ core features, Turtle Rock Studios has made it clear it’s trying to do more than rehash Left 4 Dead. It’s wise for this new outing to differentiate itself, but that, of course, doesn’t mean the older games are obsolete.

Despite the most recent game in the series being over a decade old, the first two Left 4 Dead titles still pack a lot of punch. Here are some of the best Left 4 Dead campaigns for players to dive back into until June arrives.

Best L4D Campaigns #3 – No Mercy

The original Left 4 Dead outing with Louis, Bill, Zoey, and Francis has one of its best runs here. Hoping to find rescue at a nearby hospital, the quartet must first navigate apartment buildings, city streets, subway tunnels, and sewers. The variance in settings leading up to the hospital itself makes each phase work even better. The lighting is also creepy and ambient, especially in the streets and alleyways, and the hospital itself – particularly the swarm before the elevator and the evacuation at the helipad – is a blast.

Best L4D Campaigns #2 – Swamp Fever

Shrouded in humid mist and thickets of trees, swamps are always an optimal horror setting. Swamp Fever puts Left 4 Dead 2’s team of Coach, Ellis, Nick, and Rochelle through a backwoods trial by fire. As if the usual enemies aren’t bad enough, they now have to fend off “mud people,” as well. The final stage, where the survivors must hold out at an abandoned plantation until being rescued via boat by a friendly local named Virgil, is among the most hectic last phases of any mission. The last run from the plantation gates to the boat dock can be extremely hazardous, especially if the swarm of zombies is big enough to trip up a player or two. (Plus, Swamp Fever is even better with the Shrek Tank mod. “What are you doing in my swamp?” has never sounded more terrifying.)

Best L4D Campaigns #1 – Dark Carnival

Probably the best campaign of either game, Dark Carnival is where the Left 4 Dead franchise’s blend of gallows humor, nail-biting difficulty spikes, and clever use of setting are at their height. A once-buoyant carnival park makes for a perfect zombie outbreak, featuring a tunnel of love crowded with walkers and a mad dash across a roller coaster that can still make a player sweat. Even worse are the zombie clowns, whose squeaky shoes can attract a horde if they’re not killed quickly enough. The real fireworks are (literally) saved for last, when the heroes must flag down a helicopter by using the pyrotechnics of the Midnight Riders, a hilarious ZZ Top/Allman Brothers-knockoff band that has met an end grislier than the darkest Southern rock song could ever envision.
