Graffiti is found all over the five campaigns of Left 4 Dead, most commonly within the safe rooms. The graffiti is left by other Survivors who had been through the area. This graffiti generally includes messages, tips, and warnings for loved ones, other Survivors, or simple comments, such is the case with the infamous Chicago Ted. Graffiti tells the story of the game, without cutscenes. Some pieces of graffiti seem to be conversing back and forth.

"Better safe than sorry." (Found written all over the wall in The Church.)

"I miss the internet." (Comment below an argument that resembles an internet forum argument in Dead Air, the Terminal Safe House.)

"GOD IS DEAD" (Found throughout Dead Air, referencing a famous quote by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. The last time this is written, there is a dead body slumped on the wall with a pistol next to it. It would seem the writer committed suicide or the infected killed him)

"NO ZOMBIE IS SAFE FROM CHICAGO TED" (Found in No Mercy's rooftop safehouse.)

Don't believe the signs. Washing your hands won't help when they ATTACK you

Otis,

Out of film, No Helicopter. Zombies are too fast. Not Going to make it. Frank West (Reference to the game, Dead Rising, in which the main character is a photographer, dropped off by helicopter, named Frank West. Otis is a janitor from the game who assists Frank. The zombies in Dead Rising are very slow moving as compared to the all-out sprints of Left 4 Dead zombies.)

Went to save my dog. If I'm not back in fifteen minutes, Everyone drop everything and come save me. NICOLE (Reference to the film, Dawn of the Dead [2004], where a character named Nicole leaves the shopping mall the film's survivors are held up in and enters a gun store across the street to save her dog. When the owner of the gun store becomes a zombie, the survivors are forced to go across the zombie infested streets to save her.)

When the owner of the gun store becomes a zombie, the survivors are forced to go across the zombie infested streets to save her.) Ed is king of the zombies (Reference to the film, Shaun of the Dead , where a character named Ed asks "Who died and made you fucking king of the zombies?")

, where a character named Ed asks "Who died and made you fucking king of the zombies?") REPENT THE END IS EXTREMELY FUCKING NIGH (Reference to 28 Days Later ) There's no call for language like that

I have to agree TOO MUCH



END OF THE WORLD OR NOT, THERE ARE STANDARDS



Roger went to mall. Francine (Reference to the film, Dawn of the Dead [1978]. Roger and Francine are survivors of the zombie epidemic who hold up in a shopping mall with Roger's fellow police officer and Francine's boyfriend. Could also be a slight reference to the cartoon 'American Dad' in which Roger, the alien, frequently leaves Francine, one of the main characters, to tell the others where he has gone.) >Freddy- I TOLD you that movie was based on a true case! [1] (Refrence to the film Return Of The Living [1985] Dead, when Frank the office manager is talking to Freddy, his new employee, about the events of the film Night Of The Living Dead [1968] )

LOOKING FOR AN M60? COME SEE ME. CRAZY DAVE (Reference to the game, Plants Vs. Zombies. In the game Plants Vs Zombies, Crazy Dave is your next door neighbor that sells you plant upgrades to fight the zombies in that game. Apparently, he's been surviving the green flu just fine here too.)

A majority of the names on the walls of The Church are actually Valve employees. For example: one particular employee, Arsenio Navarro (located on the wall left of the safe house door), who is responsible for managing retail for the Valve Store.

Many of the dates of death across the campaigns (mostly in The Church) used to say "-Person- May 2008". When 2009 arrived, the death dates changed from 2008 to 2009.

Considering the graffiti that state various dates, the earliest one refers to October 1st (the first date mentioned in September 25th, found on a newspaper clipping in chapter 1 of Dead Center), whilst the last one refers to Novermber 15th therefore, more than seven weeks span between these two dates (As opposed to the opening cutscene: "2 WEEKS AFTER FIRST INFECTION", and that is, taking October 1st as the first day of the infection, which is unlikely), which means either the campaigns are actually connected and several days have passed between campaigns, or the developers made a mistake. With the addition of Crash Course, it makes it more confusing, but Death Toll looks like it's earlier (or later) in the night.

A human with the initials "KP" is seen in both Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 . It is possible he or she could have escaped successfully.

and . It is possible he or she could have escaped successfully. There seems to be less graffiti in Left 4 Dead 2 than the original game. The reason for it is unknown, but it's possible people aren't finding it useful or too time consuming to write anything. It's also possible there simply weren't as many pens available around then there was in the first game, or simply because the infection just hit and the citizens are in more of a panic to escape, or there are less citizens around.

It's also possible there simply weren't as many pens available around then there was in the first game, or simply because the infection just hit and the citizens are in more of a panic to escape, or there are less citizens around. Often, graffiti will reference internet forums with things such as chat speak, "+10 rep" etc. The "Will someone please hide the pens?" graffiti is similar to requests to lock topics on forums.

In the Port Finale and in the Alleys, a group calling themselves the "Angels of Death", who seem to be stay ahead of the Survivors during the majority of the game, write a single message on a wall.. They even gained an extra member during their journey instead of losing any. The term "Angel of Death" is a popular term used in books, in songs, as nicknames, movies, and many other mediums. There are many religious figures that the name can be based on, like the Christian archangel Michael and the Islamic figure Azrael. Also there are Gabriel, Samael, and Sariel which originally come from Judaism. It is impossible to tell which, if any, of these the name is based on.

The Sacrifice, The Last Stand and Swamp Fever are the only official campaigns so far to feature graffiti written in a language other than English (the former contains Japanese while the latter French).
