== 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 (Video Game)|Counter-Strike]]''. The Australian version of the game is also censored, but they don't get bonus weapons
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Most of the NPC Survivors are played by guys who also did voices for ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]''. For the curious the boat man is the Sniper, the infected helicopter pilot is both the Spy and Pyro, and the pilot in Dead Air is the Demoman and Heavy.
** Bill is [[Half-Life|Father Grigori]].
** Zoey is also [[Halo|Cortana]] and [[Super Mario 64 (Video Game)|Princess Peach]]. For some, [[Backyard Sports|it might feel funny to use a baseball bat as her]].
** Coach is [[The Wire|Cutty Wise]].
** Ellis is [[The Killing|Jamie Wright]].
** You might recognize Hugh Dillon (Nick) from [[Flashpoint (TV series)|Flashpoint]] or his singing career.
** The crazy church guy is [[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|the Scout.]]
** The infected have been voiced by [[The Darkness]], [[The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (Animation)|The Hulk]] and [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|Appa]].
* 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.
