FAQ

Left 4 Dead



    One would assume that Left 4 Dead was inspired by 28 Days Later as it makes several referances to it. Such as...

    • Referring to the "zombies" as "Infected".


    • The fact that the "Infected" do not eat the people they kill, they simply attack them.


    • The presence of apocalyptic graffiti in bold, black capital letters.


    • The speed at which the decease spread (14 days on Left 4 Dead, 28 days on 28 Days Later).


    • The general abandonment of all environments in both the movie and the game.


    • The speed and relentlessness with which the "Infected" move.


    • The presence of Molotovs and the Gas Station explosion (No Mercy campaign).


    • The dead bodies in Jim's house appear almost verbatim in the No Mercy campaign.


    • In the No Mercy campaign, the elevator at Mercy Hospital stops at the 28th floor.


    • Survivors move in small groups.
