So I think I've mentioned that a friend of mine gave me Left 4 Dead 2 over the holidays, so I've racked up some experience playing since then. Tonight I was playing with two real life friends of mine in the Hard Rain campaign, and right at the end you have to run to the boat while a horde of zombies comes at you

Categorical Imperative

[benshee]

Yep, I ALWAYS just hop on the vehicle, because the map ends right after that and every one respawns and them stats at the end don't matter anyway. I wish I had L4d2, I've only played it on friends computers or at lan cafes.

Not to get all philosophical on you or anything, but my moral decision for this is known as the categorical imperative (it can be anything else of course, depending on your life philosophy), which requires me to universalize my actions. In other words, if everyone in the world did what you did, what would the world be like?

I think most moral philosophies have more application in peaceful societies than they do in dystopic zombie worlds, but.. if all the people in the world didn't try and save one of their fallen comrades, I would conclude two things - we would have a lot more unhappy survivors (albeit probably much better at fighting, as a whole) but most of them wouldn't trust each other. Hm.

Anyway, L4D2!
