Left 4 Dead 2 places you and three others within a post apocalyptic version of the American South. Running through swamps, dark carnivals, and empty streets you must fight your way through the worst imaginable version of mother nature's wrath, zombies.
While the video game might seem like just another bloody killing fest with absolutleyno point to it, Left 4 Dead 2 has a point. Using the survivors and encounters within the game, L4D2 shows constantly that humans are the enemy of nature. Take for example points in the game known as "alerting the horde". Starting up machinery and other forms of technology in the game create incredibly loud and annoying noises which in turn send a massive horde of zombies in your general direction to fight off with any means necessary. Other supporting examples that humans are the enemy of nature is writing on walls found in the game which explain horrific events by the military and even other survivors.
Looking at Left 4 Dead 2 I assert that past the blood and gore, that it holds an unseen message that modern culture thinks of humans as the enemy of nature on a massive scale.
