Verified cache files (said they were all there), complete deletion and re-installation, installing Java, C++ runtimes, directX, tried updating video drivers, (currently up to date and so are other drivers). The box "preparing to launch" runs for a few seconds, disappears and l4d2 is not launched.
-novid
or
-novideo
to the launch option line. (they both do the same thing.)

If it works then you have some sort of video playback problem with the game. And will likely crash at all pnion servers, as well; until you figure out how to fix the video codec problem.
It doesn't take that long and it can fix many things that verifying the game cache will not do.

I don't know what's wrong, because I never had a problem with L4D2 not launching, But it's on your end, because the majority don't have that type of crash.
What should be happening is the first time you hit play, Steam does that one time only preparing to install thing (where it verifies Frameworks and DirectX), then about 3 minutes later, the game starts. It runs some Logos and then the Intro video. Then it starts Source Engine and gives you a menu screen. It's most likely that your PC is halting at the preparing to install thing for whatever reason, UAC, Antivirus, or, Ports blocked via the router, or something.
(typical crashes is if you PC can't run the videos. thus -novideo will bypass that. The other is if the game plays the videos, but crashes as soon as you get to the main menu. Usually the cause is a corrupt user made campaign that you placed in the addons folder. Removing it fixes that crash. Also, uninstall does not get rid of the addons folder, so redownloading the game doesn't fix that sort of crash. You have to remove those custom campaigns, yourself. But your crash doesn't match either of those. Your crash sounds like Windows is blocking the program, or some sort of hardware issue.)
Disable your antivirus and firewall.
If you have a router, try it with your PC connected directly to the modem.
Try putting -autoconfig in the launch options.
or:
-lv
-windowed
-w 800
Try it in Safe mode with networking. (Press F8 after post but before Windows launches.)
You haven't modded windows or Steam? As in trying to force steam to use multiple HDD's or relocating My Documents to another HDD?
Also, you haven't installed a pirated version of L4D in the past? You'll have to remove it, if you have
