Brainbread has been around since HL1 days. That was probably more of a kin to L4D than the CSS script.

the zombie mods were nothing like L4D. If anything, the only thing they 'stole' was Zombies. Everything else is new and better than all the mods.

L4D is heavily inspired by most zombie movies/games. more so Dawn of the Dead and 28 Days Later.

but then, zombies arnt exactly a new idea. so while its fair to say they got the idea from a CSS mod, its definitely not true. those CSS mods sucked imo for starters. and all they did was have AI controlled zombie bots run around the map aimlessly, while you sat there and picked them off.

there was no key to survival, no real objective. Zombie Panic Source was pretty lame too..but at least it tried to offer more.

So in essence, they did take the idea of it and made a game out of it, and they will make the money, but even if they outright deny it, you can't think that someone at valve got the idea to make the game from the zombie mod.
no they didn't take anything. Zombie mods and ideas for games have been around forever. I played the zombie mods and they were all ****. They had little talent and money behind them and it showed. L4D did everything right where all the other amateurs failed. Whats the point?
