Graffiti

Graffiti is found all over the four campaigns of Left 4 Dead, most commonly so within the safe houses. The graffiti is left by survivors who had been through the area, generally messages for loved ones, to other survivors, or simple comments, such is the case with the infamous Chicago Ted.
