Team work is probably the worst aspect of online gaming. Nine out of ten players are too egotistical or too arrant with stupidity to be capable of any conducive efforts in an online game. This is why Left 4 Dead is probably the worst Valve game ever created. Team Fortress 2 is barely playable because the teams are large enough to get by while still having a considerable amount of retardation within them. Left 4 Dead, on the other hand, managed to create even more of a reliance on teammates, even more of a need for mental decency; Left 4 Dead took the worst aspect of online gaming and multiplied it by ten.

As if this wasn’t bad enough, they’ve come out with a sequel. And since the announcement of Left 4 Dead 2, Valve has been doing everything in their power to convince us that the game’s going to be better, that players have miraculously grown smarter, that we won’t get bored of it in two weeks like we did with the first Left 4 Dead. In this convincing, Valve has offered early demo access, discounted prices and in-game weapons. But now, they’ve taken it a step farther and offered Team Fortress 2 incentives.

The reason for Valve doing this is, undoubtedly, due to the fact that they’re aware of how many people are boycotting Left 4 Dead 2. Thanks to Valve, there’s now a cold war going on between the majority of us that have some common sense, and the arrogant hounds at Valve who insist on pushing this demented product. Thankfully, there’s still a considerable amount of us who are keeping a considerable amount of foresight about this. Do yourself a favor, and do Valve a favor, by boycotting this game and showing them that their marketing schemes are, in plain speech, retarded. The early demo access, baseball bat and lowered price obviously haven’t been getting them enough preorders otherwise they wouldn’t have introduced this hat scam.

The first Left 4 Dead wasn’t worth $44.99, this Left 4 Dead isn’t worth $44.99, and it certainly isn’t worth pre-ordering. If you’re thinking about buying Left 4 Dead 2, at least hold out until it goes on sale for under $40 next year.
