Not all games need a background story, or even an actual story. L4D is meant to be a multilayer game through and through the single player is just an after thought.

As has been stated, nice poll 
I feel that you have been a little harsh and L4D, and that it is worth every penny paid. I am not saying that you are not entitled to your opinion, simply that my experience has differed.
I am in a really non-confrontational mood, in case that wasn't obvious.

This wasn't really a review; actually the middle part read kind of like an advertisement. Maybe an advertisement that is actually detrimental to the product, but an ad nonetheless. I might not be much of a reviewer, but I doubt bullet points about a game make for a good review.
I agree completely. Left 4 Dead is okay at best. You run around and shoot zombies, that's it. Very little variety to be found at all. This is confounded by the lack of a story. Whenever I play it I just get really bored. I usually can't get through one mission without wanting to stop. Plus, it's incredibly short. The animation of all the main characters were terrible (like healing from 3 feet away). The variety of guns is ruined when you realize the first three are simply replaced by the second three. In the end, it's a great game to buy once it has lowered to that $20-$40 price point but I can't justify a purchase now.
As for your review, it was not very good. I agree with it, but it was badly done. It was too short and there were a few spelling mistakes, you don't go over all the modes or too in depth into the game play.

As has been stated alot by now, Poll ?
Anyway this type of game doesn't need a story in particular. And there is a few hints at the back storys in what they say to each other when there not fighting with the hordes ? So how is their usefulness with weapons never explained ?
I agree with how they met each other meeting up. Unless that was explained and I missed it.

I like to picture L4D like one of them Old school zombie movies, even the posters on the loading screens promote the campains as if they where... mindless zombie hordes and lots of death
As for 'leaning' on co-op.. this game Sprints on multiplayer bro, your really missin out if you wrote it off playing on your own

L4D is one of those games thats just mindless fun, even better if you play it with friends. Then its just an endless stream of sh!ts and giggles :>
A story would ruin the replayability, and this isnt a poll, and its hardly a review, and if you dont Like L4D your either Retarded, you have no internet, or you just have terrible taste in games, Its most likeley the Greatest Game ive ever played (Which is saying something, seeing as ive played alot of games) Becuase it has a tiny amount of flaws and its very, well, simply Fun and Addictive!
I kinda like how there is no story, it's not really much of a complaint in a Zombie game for me. Don't get me wrong I do usually thing you need a good story in games to make it good and fun, just not in zombie games.
Also this does seem more like a rundown or overview to me than a review.
