Competitive Landscape
Left 4 Dead 3, despite its lack of release, holds a unique position in the zombie shooter market. Unlike its cooperative-focused predecessors, L4D3 was expected to introduce a competitive multiplayer mode, similar to the successful Counter-Strike franchise. This would have differentiated it from other zombie shooters like Killing Floor 2, focused solely on cooperative gameplay, and World War Z, which offered both cooperative and competitive modes but lacked L4D3’s established fanbase.
