Left 4 Dead 2 launches on mobile, but it’s a scam

Left 4 Dead 2 Mobile sounds like a dream come true. Of all the ways to pass the time on a busy commute, or while you’re camped outside your local game shop in protest of the disappearance of Half-Life 3, teaming up with three pals to once again tear through Valve’s iconic survival horror game sounds like the best.

None of the assets have any hit detection, the vehicles are weirdly scaled so that you feel like a giant, and the entire “level” is littered with ominous, also T-posing mannequins, which blankly stare at you as you walk around, generating an extremely loud
