The core gameplay has not changed since Left 4 Dead. They arrived a few minutes too late at the evacuation point and now need to fight their way through the south-eastern part of infected America to the next official evacuation point. Instead of following the journey of Zoey, Francis, Louis and Bill from the first game, the player gets to control Coach, Rochelle, Nick or Ellis.
Not an American user? Description Left 4 Dead 2 takes place one week after the events of the first game and three weeks after the first infection.
