How is bill alive after the campaign "The Sacrifice"?

[ExpertLeals]

This question might be dumb for some people.

He's not, he's very dead. The Sacrifice is the last chapter with that group.
Even if his death was retconned, the original voice actor has passed away.

But how is he alive in the Campaign "No Mercy"?
I'm very confused.

No Mercy is the first chapter. You're familar with Star Wars right?
What you're essentially asking, is why is Luke Skywalker dead in episode VIII but alive in episode IV.

No Mercy is the first campaign to l4d1 characters
Crash Course is second
Death toll is third (i wouldnt say last stand also counts on this, bc its an optional campaign to death toll as well)
Dead Air as fourth
Blood Harvest as fifth
Dam it is supposedly after Blood Harvest but is not the official campaign yet
then Sacrifice as the last campaign

because it’s video game

Have you read the comic?
I'd suggest reading the comic.
That's why it's called "The Sacrifice"... Bill sacrifices himself.
However, of course, video games being video games, the campaign is different.
Anyone can make the "sacrifice" in the official campaign.
Sacrifice would be the last campaign for the original survivors.
"The Passing" is the crossover one with the L4D2 crew and we see Bill's corpse.
Louis and Francis, if I remember correctly, have random lines mentioning the loss.

Also to clarify, "Dam It" is only as official as it was from Turtle Rock Studios.
The original developers of Left 4 Dead before Valve.
It would never become official unless Valve chose to gain the rights.
And it's also still very much incomplete, technically.
I don't see them going after the "complete" or "remastered" versions.
For all we know it'd be another so called "community" project.
"Cold Stream" might not have been cannon but was at least more professional.
A lot of us are still mixed about "Last Stand".

Anyway, rambling aside, as stated earlier, I'd believe the story order is:
No Mercy
Crash Course
Death Toll
Dead Air
Dam It
Blood Harvest
The Sacrifice

Last Stand was originally a survival only map, not quite cannon.
So anyone could make up a theory about where it'd go.
Perhaps an alternate route within Death Toll for all we'd know.
I think the game had sneaky Easter eggs hidden in it about that.

At least for the original crew.
Passing and learning about Bill would be after Sacrifice.

There is no yet... it's not a Valve creation.
It belonged to the previous developers, Turtle Rock Studios.
They'd have to get permission, as well as make their own completed version.
Logically and realistically I don't see them going after "complete" or "remastered".
