Left 4 Dead 2 eGuide Essentials Game Modes

Survival

A team starts with the best intentions, but a mixture of bad
luck, bad pla—ying, and violent Infected ends a match.

This mode pits four Survivors against massive, and eventually overwhelming odds. They are holed up in a particular part of a campaign map, near a large collection of ammunition, weapons, and other items, and must survive wave after wave of enemies, both Common and Special.

A timer ticks on as combat continues and your goal is to achieve a gold medal status (surviving over 10 minutes) at the end of the match.

Then start again in an attempt to better that time! A more accurate title for this might be “Eventual Death” mode.

The plan is to survive for as long as possible. As long as you know you’re doomed to die eventually, you’ll be fine.
