Note that Left 4 Dead 2 contains the majority of content from Left 4 Dead, including the campaigns and the Crash Course and Sacrifice DLCs, although it is missing some of the less popular survival mode maps. Where possible, it is advised to buy Left 4 Dead 2 as it has a larger multiplayer community.

You can play Left 4 Dead in a local area network by opening the developer console and issuing the following commands on the server:
sv lan 1
to enable the lan server
map <mapname>
where <mapname> is the name of the map (for example, to play on "No Mercy", write "map l4d_hospital01_apartment")
Maplist:
- No Mercy: l4d_hospital01_apartment
- Dead Air: l4d_airport01_greenhouse
- Blood Harvest: l4d_farm01_hilltop

Then, everyone else can join by using
connect <ip>[:<port>]
(for example, "connect 192.168.1.1" or "connect 192.168.1.1:255")
You can check your ip by writing "net_start".
