    I played the left 4 dead series a lot when I was younger. I haven’t tried back 4 blood. What made the game flop?

      It felt more like a fan-made game based on L4D without any understanding of the source material, yet it was made by the original devs.

      That being said, L4D2 was an improvement and it was made by Valve. The main issue I had with it is that the special enemies didn’t have any feeling to them, they just came and battle without any atmosphere that say The Witch would bring.

        It was made by a very small number of devs who aided the team at Valve who did the real work. Somewhere between 2 and 6 people, and none who did the heavy lifting, direction, production, AI, or mechanics design. Most of the B4B team would have been children when L4D was made…

      The animations are jank, no mod support because they thought it will somehow increase map expansions sales. Support for the game ended (which if you do not allow for user submitted content ,is a big problem). The PvP sucks, it’s a survival game mode instead of being the classic vs mode we love from l4d2. That’s just at the top of my head, there was more.
