Scene from Left 4 Dead 2

Have you been waiting to create your own campaigns, weapons, items and clothing in a video game?  If so, you may be happy to hear that Valve has announced that the beta mode for the video game, Left 4 Dead 2 is now live and open. Before this launch, Valve used the services of several content creators to provide over a thousand campaigns, with thousands of other items which will appear in the game soon. Now you can add your creative content to the mix.

Left 4 Dead 2 workshop is live on Steam for the PC

Allowing users' collaboration on their video games is not new for Valve.  This method was used for some of their previous video games such as Portal 2 and Team Fortress 2 where you can build your own levels and items.

There is an "add-on" option for Left 4 Dead 2 at the site's main menu which allows you to go through a catalogue or look for new ones via the online store.

When using the Left 4 Dead 2 workshop, in addition to adding content, you can also rate and discuss it as well as find out the most popular and talked about added content.
