== Actual Trivia ==
* The German version of the game is censored for violence, and is more difficult as a result (you can't tell if a Hunter is on fire because the flames would be censored) so a number of weapons are ported from ''[[Counter-Strike]]''. The Australian version of the game is also censored, but they don't get bonus weapons.
* Valve is infamously known for their [[Schedule Slip|Valve Time]] where they either set a date for a release for something and it gets delayed (sometimes several times) or they don't mention a release date at all until the product is good and ready to ship out. ''[[Left 4 Dead 2]]'' is one of the few exceptions to the rule; the game was released one year after the original ''[[Left 4 Dead]]'' due to Valve wanting to prove that they ''can'' release on a fixed schedule. This action caused a [[Broken Base]] and it's best to leave it at that.▼
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Coach is played by Cutty Wise from ''[[The Wire]]'', who was an ex-con that finally found his calling... as a boxing coach.
* [[Banned in China]]: Due to rules against the depiction of violence towards authority figures, the Riot Infected were absent from the censored version released in Germany and Australia, though they were later put back in by a patch.

* [[Too Soon]]: A writer for the Houston Chronicle [http://blog.chron.com/gamehacks/2009/07/racism-in-video-games-the-new-norm/ accused] Valve of this for setting a game in ruined New Orleans. A few million extended middle fingers in his direction later, [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|the game was released anyway]].
* [[Urban Legend of Zelda]]:
