Left 4 Dead online stats reveal you have a lot of work to do

Fail!

Today Valve released the online stats for its zombie co-op title Left 4 Dead and to sum things up the numbers are about as pretty as an exploding Boomer.

Only 0.6% of all players have completed the "stomach Upset" achievement, which requires the entire team be untouched by vomit for and entire campaign. Even worse, only 0.4% of teams were able to kill 1,000 Infected with a mounted machine gun, thereby keeping the "Red Mist" challenge out of the hands of 99.4% of players. Sad.

But, in an altruistic twist, fully 72% of players have unlocked the Drag and Drop achievement, which involves rescuing a Survivor from a Smoker's tongue, before he takes damage. Brain Salad, was also on the menu, as 64% of players managed 100 headhshots or more. Solid!

The rest of the numbers are pretty bleak though. So, what is it? Is Left 4 Dead simply dead hard? Or did Valve purposefully place its challenges just out of reach?

I think the ones with the small percentages is something the group would have to strive for or take some major time. I personally never use the mounted gun because someone else is on it or I'm near a bunker so ammo isn't an issue. Considering you see 3 or 4 Boomers a map maybe more sometimes or less and each campaign is like 5 maps thats 15 Boomers average, and no one can be hit by it and usually there is one new player in your group or someone not paying attention at the time. So it's really hard to rely on people at times.

Also first.

I'm gonna go with the latter that you mentioned. But then again I haven't played the game.
