Left 4 Dead 2

Left 4 Dead 2 is Valve's classic co-op zombie FPS, built around four-survivor campaigns, special infected, AI-directed pacing, and rapid team rescues. Native campaign play is four-player, but this record is a mod/server candidate for 5+ groups.

The game sends survivors through tightly paced campaigns across the Deep South, mixing hordes, special infected, safe rooms, and dynamic difficulty shifts from the AI Director. It is one of the clearest examples of a below-target game that still matters because community servers and mutations can support larger groups. Keep it as mod/server-required for 5+ play, not as clean native co-op.
