Stick to Normal-Advanced for a while.
Or does it?
Are you talking about the versus mode in it that I've heard of?
It has ranks!!!!!!!!???
Versus and Realism Expert is where it's at. If the infected don't kill you, your teammates will. Or someone kills themselves to grief. That, or you get kicked by a premade team.
But no, there aren't ranks. The competitive scene is something outside of the game. They use custom configs and servers to play.
Is it on Christmas sale?
Also, I'd recommend waiting for christmas (not just the sales)
Since they gave away l4d2 on christmas 2015
I would recommend Left 4 dead 2 though over 1. If you get 1 then move to 2 odds are you may be dissapointed in how 2 is even in Left 4 dead 1's levels.
Only saving point for 2 to me is the workshop and extra items.
you can change game with are awesome
It is mostly just defending against the mobs of undead that run at you (the 'new undead' from movies, not the 'old undead' who were mostly slow and harmless until they got close); but it has some overall environmental story aspects (similar to the Half Life games, where there wasn't many specifics, but the overall atmosphere of impending doom keeps you moving through the levels).
You can choose between 4 characters (with an additional 4 if you get L4D2) and there are about a dozen maps set in different areas, from Cities and inside buildings to farms and fields and small towns (6 maps from L4D1, but those were eventually ported to the new Engine in L4D2).
It's fast and fun, gory and bloody - but if you want to turn that off, you can (then the zombies just 'fall over').
It has a hard-rock soundtrack and realistic sound effects for the weapons/cars/etc.
All the characters have original voice actors for each (Francis sounds like his voice was auto-tuned down to me lol).
After playing through the levels in order for the 'campaign', you can play any levels in Multiplayer, where there are additional modes (such as Zombies vs Humans).
People mostly just play and run through, no griefing that I have seen, but some say there is a lot.
The maps are large, but easy to navigate, there is usually one 'route' that you follow through, together, trying to keep each other alive (if people try to run ahead alone, the horde of zombies will take singled out players too quickly). You shouldn't get lost too bad - there are a lot of subliminal directions built into the maps on where to go ("the only light" or signs that "point the way", the "only open doors", etc).
During Xmas and holidays, they have special events, and there are Mods for the maps made by the company and players, to re-play maps with different settings/objectives/etc.
There are achievements to go for, both with AI and in Versus modes and while some are easy to get just playing through the story the first time, some are very hard to get and might require looking up tutorials.
Even though the Storyline is pretty 'loose' (it's a zombie game), the game overall if fast and fun and there is a bit of strategy in handling the levels, choosing when to use things like pipebombs and first aid kits, being able to Revive people, when to use special weapons like mounted machine guns, etc.
This is all what I can remember anyway... if you like zombie or FPS games, you should like L4D pretty well. There's a lot to like in it!
