Fairfield

"Son, we just crossed the street... let's not throw a party 'til we're outta the city."

- Bill

Fairfield is a medium-sized city where the entire No Mercy campaign takes place in Left 4 Dead. Interviews with the developers have revealed that this city is located in a fictional part of Pennsylvania, and is also located in the 215 area code according to a store sign in No Mercy.

History
This metropolitan city was a once-blooming city that features large buildings and skyscrapers as well as apartments and industrial factories. Mercy Hospital, Red Line Subway, Burger Tank, and Hersch Shipping Company & Eastern Waterworks factory complexes are some key areas in Fairfield. The city also appears to be surrounded by a mountain range.

Current Status
Due to small hints in an isolation room in Mercy Hospital, it has been surmised that the infection may have started in Fairfield. This may mean that doctors were unsure of what the infection was at that time and tried to isolate the infected victim to stop it spreading, although if this is the case, the doctors failed horribly and the infection spread throughout the city. CEDA attempted to quarantine the city in efforts to prevent further spread of the infection; however, with the mass chaos, panic, and rioting, the quarantine failed. Civilians were fleeing in all direction, most noticeably the Red Line North subway route, have caved in, or been destroyed. The city has been mostly overrun by the Infected with only a small number of safe rooms scattered across the city.
