Left 4 Dead 2: The Sacrifice
released on Oct 05, 2010
DLC for Left 4 Dead 2
This DLC is a port from Left 4 Dead, adding the campaigns The Sacrifice and No Mercy. Initially, it was to be released for the first game alone, but since players would have to own Left 4 Dead to experience the events that explain The Passing, the developers opted to release it for both games. No Mercy was brought over as well because it was the most popular campaign. Both campaigns are available in every game mode. Players will still control the original Survivors, but will find items and Special Infected from Left 4 Dead 2. Five achievements were added, as in Left 4 Dead.

Great DLC with some moral aspects.
When Left 4 Dead came out, it was a new concept for me. Fully rendered 3D zombies and a series of stages to progress through with your friends, in order to be rescued. I had so much fun with this game and its original concept back then, inspired many other games to follow the same or a shared format.
In Left 4 Dead, you play as one of four characters who, as a group, need to travel to an extraction point from where they are rescued. There are a lot of maps to choose from and each map consists of five levels.
On your journey you come across hordes of infected and, every fifty steps or so, one of the three special infected this game has, appears and tries to make your life miserable. Those three are the Smoker, which uses his long tongue to reel you in and choke you, the Boomer (no not a sixty year old man with forty grandchildren), a bloated fat sack of pus that explodes on you, covering you in goo and attracting other infected, and the Hunter, a hacker-man type dude in a hoodie that jumps and claws at you with the most deafening screech. You find scarce resources like health packs and pills to keep you going, and later on, you find some better weapons.
In this DLC, The Sacrifice, you play trough a new campaign in which you need to reach a bridge to cross over to safer terrain. In the end however, you are overwhelmed by zombies and one of the survivors must make the difficult choice of staying behind, while te rest can escape.
The action is intense, and the tension builds up when you are almost there or your whole team is down, and everyone is depending on you. This feeling is enhanced on higher difficulty levels.
The graphics in Left 4 Dead are dark and grim and fine to look at. The animations are a little sluggish and zombies dying, do so in a scripted motion. When you encounter the Witch for example, and you pump her full of shotgun hail, she casually falls down to the ground on heir knees and dies. She should be flying to the nearest planet in a “realistic” situation.
The sound design is excellent. The grunts of the zombies, the ambient music and weapon fire, all sounds very good.
The Sacrifice DLC was cool and intense, and it was a great addition to the main game.
Definitely recommend it.

Rest in peace bill, they are some theories around that bill is revived in dead by daylight but that s not a valve game so it's not canon.
Overall a great campaign with a tragic ending
