Crossplayer: It's like multiplayer, but angrier!

The fusing part makes me think of something more like spore where you create single player situations that other people download and then play. Kind of like a persistent world that is downloaded, played offline and then uploaded back to the server. Just a wild guess.

Basically. But it sounds like you'll go through the singple player campaign (maybe with a buddy or few, co-op), and then enemy players who log into the server will probably take over the pre-placed enemies in the map, and then they can attack the 'main players'.
The reason this is different than multiplayer, is because the co-op guys are still going through the story, and dealing with npcs.
This is still speculation, but it makes sense. And the more I think about it, the more I think this could be pretty damned fun. The hero's characters will probably have more firepower or health or whatever, since they have to constantly be battling, whereas the enemies are supposed to die so the players can continue.

Agreed.
I was kinda under the impression that Left4Dead wasn't going to have a cohesive storyline, but just essentially be a zombie mod with different levels and such where the zombies can be played by players or AI.
That's just me guessing too, I suppose.
In any case, the games do seem similar.
