Valve Thinks L4D Might Replace CS

18 Mar, 2007, 11:00 am IST | Nikhil Singh | PC

In an interview with popular gaming website Eurogamer.com, Valve's Erik Johnson and Doug Lombardi said that they think Left 4 Dead will surpass the popularity of Valve's very own, world renowned, twitch-based Counter-Strike. Here's what they had to say:

Doug Lombardi: It's kind of different, at a certain point it's comparing football and basketball. But it is brutal and unapologetic about its gameplay in the same way Counter-Strike was. Counter-Strike was not making apologies for the fact that it was just a game, it wasn't trying to dress itself up to make it a sexy commercial product. It's tough.


Erik Johnson: Maybe a different setting, and it's co-op and not multiplayer, but in terms of people's attachment to it, I feel like it's definitely offering the better version of that experience. I'm not saying that people are going to throw Counter-Strike away and start playing Left 4 Dead exclusively.

Let's hope that this happens, since Counter-Strike has been around for ages and a replacement is long overdue.
