L4D was a real hit though. I don't think they let anyone or them self (the artistic spirit, not Valve) down.

L4D was a genuinely good, groundbreaking game for its time. I didn't think it was possible to have so much fun with a multi-player FPS (CounterStrike and its ilk did nothing for me).

I'm sure there are more impressive MP games nowadays, but back then it felt revolutionary.

Ye it was revolutionary. Both as multiplayer coop and as a zombie game.
