Title: Left 4 Dead 2 Announced, Coming this November
Post by: Petch on June 01, 2009, 03:27:33 PM
Microsoft just announced in their E3 Press Conference, Left 4 Dead 2. Coming November 17th on PC and XBox 360

L4D2 promises to set a new benchmark for co-operative action games and become one of 2009's marquee titles.

The game will introduce AI Director 2.0 taking L4D's dynamic gameplay to the next level by giving the Director the ability to procedurally change weather effects, world objects, and pathways in addition to tailoring the enemy population, effects, and sounds to match the players' performance.

         With the knowledge gained from creating the original, new technology, and a passionate team, L4D2 will set a new benchmark for cooperative action games.

The game will feature new Survivors, boss zombies, weapons, and melee combat with items such as a chainsaw, frying pan, axe, baseball bat, and more. Left 4 Dead 2 offers a much larger game than the original with more co-operative campaigns, more Versus campaigns, and maps for Survival mode available at launch.

I can't wait for this.  I hope it's got more variety and keeps my interest longer then the first though.

I like the new zombies that are mixed in with the common infected. Like those guys in the hooded sweatshirts. And the incinerator ammo looks to be pretty useful.

Shouldn't this be like:
L4D too
or
Left 4 Dead Again
or maybe
Still Left 4 Dead
I just think there's Two Too 2 many numbers going on in there.  Marketing is just not what it used to be. :deal2:

ESRB Made Valve change the L4D2 cover (http://pc.ign.com/articles/995/995772p1.html)

LOL. So apparently, 4 fingers remaining on a hand are acceptable, but not two.

This was an intended misspelling to create a clause in order to avoid implied payment of said beer.
