Graffiti

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.

 * 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.)

 * 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! (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.)

 * VIRGIL DUGAS
 * 1953-2009 (Coincidentally, this person shares the same first name to Virgil, the captain of Lagniappe, his boat, who saves the four survivors in Left 4 Dead 2 to lead them to New Orleans. It's possible that he was been mistakenly presumed "dead" even though he's still uninfected. It could also simply be the case of it being a different person with the same name.)
