The Versus Mode in Left 4 Dead pits two teams, of Humans and Infected (Zombies), against each other. The Human side's objective is to reach a safe room, while the Infected side's goal is to destroy the other team.
Humans get weapons, ammo, and health packs, but the Infected play differently - there are four different types of Infected that the player can randomly spawn as: Boomers, Smokers, Hunters and Tanks.Shacknews: Left 4 Dead Hands-on Impressions of Versus Mode (October 16, 2008) Each type has a different ability like vomiting, tentacle-tongues, ambush moves and more. When killed on the Infected side, the player will get to choose where to respawn. Conversely, Humans do not get to respawn.Joystiq: Hands On In Left 4 Dead's Versus Mode (October 17, 2008)
