History Trivia / Left4Dead

* The German version of the game is censored for violence, and is more difficult as a result (you can't tell if a Hunter is on fire because the flames would be censored) so a number of weapons are ported from CounterStrike. The Australian version of the game is also censored, but they don't get bonus weapons

* HeyItsThatVoice: Most of the NPC Survivors are played by guys who also did voices for ''TeamFortress2''. For the curious the boat man is the Sniper, the infected helicopter pilot is both the Spy and Pyro, and the pilot in Dead Air is the Demoman and Heavy.

** The crazy church guy is [[TeamFortress2 the Scout.]]

* "International" version weapons: If you come across a weapon you haven't seen before in [=L4D2=], it's because you're playing with someone that has the German version of the game.

* ([=L4D-]) You can distract a Tank from his incapacitated target with a melee attack (provided the incapacitatee isn't shooting the Tank)

* Chainsaws will attract idle common infected to you due to noise.

* Never use a Bile Bomb on a Tank unless there are common infected already in the area, otherwise you will have more targets to deal with after the effects wear off.
* Always use adrenaline shots to heal faster, run through water, revive people quicker, etc.

* When a horde attacks and you are in the front line, crouch so people can shoot over your head.

* A Boomer's vomit ALWAYS overrides a player's Bile Bomb effects. Never use a Bile Bomb if a Boomer has vomited on someone.

* Don't throw a gas can or another explosive item in front of someone while they're shooting.

* Healthpacks: They heal 80% of your injuries(overriding temporary health) and reset your incap count, rather than healing an exact amount of health. The more health you have, the less effective healthpacks are.

* Healthpacks: They heal 80% of your injuries and reset your incap count, rather than healing an exact amount of health.
** For example, if you have 35 health, you will receive 65 x 0.8 = 52 health, bringing you up to 87. Pill health doesn't count, and it goes away when you heal
* "International" version weapons: If you come across a weapon you haven't seen before, it's because you're playing with someone that has the German version of the game.
** They get bonus weapons because a lot of the violence is censored. This only for {{L4D2}}, by the way

* Most walls can be shot through, even pistol and shotgun rounds can penetrate two walls.

* In {{L4D}} - Campaign Mode, Tanks run faster on fire, faster than you can possibly run.
** Also, the fire doesn't take away health like bullets do, but it does kill them after 90 seconds

* All playable infected make noise when they spawn or attack. If someone killed you quickly after they spawned, they picked up on your location with surround sound and shot through a wall.
