It's a little frustrating to not be able to play as the character you want when matchmaking, but thankfully, the character perks only have a small impact on the overall gameplay. If you want to be the team's grenade specialist, pick Hoffman since he automatically gets extra slots for throwables. Therefore, players who like using melee weapons will love using her. For example, Holly, the energetic and wise-cracking punk of the squad, has high stamina and an intrinsic melee damage boost.

Looking to play the support role? Fill your deck up with cards that allow you to carry more bandages and heal teammates more efficiently. Want to be a tanky melee fighter?

The biggest thing that differentiates Back 4 Blood from Left 4 Dead is its focus on player choice, the bulk of which can be found in the game's card-based deck system. Here's a look at the three main ways that Back 4 Blood differs from Left 4 Dead. After extensively playing the recent Back 4 Blood Closed Alpha, the differences are the main reason why I'm itching to play more as soon as I can. These differences help make Back 4 Blood feel like an evolution of Left 4 Dead rather than a clone of it. However, Back 4 Blood also features some key design choices and gameplay systems that help differentiate the game from its predecessor. With its wide assortment of weapon and utility pickups, unique and advanced 'special infected' zombies, and an AI director that keeps playthroughs fresh by influencing zombie and item spawns, Back 4 Blood is, in many ways, simply a better-looking version of the game that players enjoyed over a decade ago (and still do today). It makes sense considering it developed Left 4 Dead when it was still a part of Valve.

It's undeniable that Turtle Rock Studios' upcoming co-op zombie shoot-em-up Back 4 Blood is heavily inspired by 2008's Left 4 Dead.
