It’s been eight years since Valve released the award-winning survival zombie first-person shooter game, Left 4 Dead 2. And yet, until now, there are still millions of players worldwide who continue to enjoy the game. And why is that?
Perhaps, it is because of the mods it offers through Steam. Through the workshop, developers and gamers alike can create and share mods which can be used in the game. One of these mods is the campaign, where users create new maps that players can access using the game itself.
These campaign mods have given a new light to our favorite zombie, bringing us new gaming experiences. That’s why for today, we’ve list down seven of the best campaign mods for Left 4 Dead that you’ll surely want to subscribe to.
