This thread will be about Left for Dead 2, and will contain any information on the game. Instead of posting a link to a site (Since most people don't like to read!) I'll just post the information here.
Systems: Xbox 360 & PC Release Date: TBA (To be anounced)
The Story:
This time, Left for Dead will take place in southern United States. Some places of interest include Savannah, Gerogia to Bayou county and New Orleans. What you will be doing is trying to make your way through the southern US cities, counties etc, to a Military base in New Orleans. (Apperently it has not been hit by the infection yet)
The Characters:
- Humans/Survivors:
You have a whole new set of characters. Nick (The guy in a flashy suit), Ellis (the mechanic may also be known as 'Ty', Rochelle (The girl) and the 'Coach' (Known as Philco)
- Zombies
There will be a lot of new zombies this time around with returning bosses such as Tank, Smoker, Hunter, Boomer and ofcourse the Witch. But new zombies such as 'Charger' and that's the only one Valve have yet released information about, other then some non boss zombies. The charger is designed to defeat the human players tactic of camping out in a small room/space. He charges out you, and if you get hit, you are knocked to the ground and can be attacked by the rest of the horde. He can also grab hold of a survivor and pile drive them into the ground as much as he wants. He's not as tough as a tank, but can still hold on his own.
Weapons:
- Melee:
In Left for Dead 2, you can take the fight to the hordes with your own hands. Well....sort of. You can use weapons such as frying pans and baseball bats, and even go as far as a chainsaw! They can one hit kill most of the special zombie types except the witch and tank.
- Fire Arms
The weapons have been improved, such things as the shotgun being reamped. And the sniper aswell. A tech nine is also in play or a type of machine gun. It is also stated that the weapons each have a charateristic this time around. It will no longer feel like your useing the same weapon with a new costume on.
- Other:
This time, you get new types of ammunation. Such as Incedinary Bullets, in witch case when fired set the zombie ablaze.
Facts:
The AI dierector had been kicked up a notch, it will set up the game depending on your difficulty. So let's say your having trouble with a certain levle, it'll change up a levle in a small way to make it easier for you. (But don't expect a babysitting sitution) And vice versa if your really doing great at a levle, it'll change it a up a bit so that it becomes more of a challange.
It will include five campaigns instead of four.
Valve may add the other campaigns from the first game into this one, just so you don't have to switch up while playing with friends.
Butler09 you might want to calm down a bit and try not to swear. L4D is a good game but I don't think a sequel would be a good idea since there is already a petition for them not to make it. They should just concentrate on update the one they have out now.
Valve takes foever on great games like half-life and team fortress 2 and only a year later they make another L4D. They need to finish Half-life 2 ep 3. It is very unfair.
It's much too soon L4D isn't even finished yet. We have games like TF2 that receive so much content from Valve + Custom content and then L4D which just has bare minimum playability this L4D 2 should be an update not a full game
The first one is awesome if you're playing with friends, because you can do crazy things that annoy the hell out of them (like shoot an alarmed vehicle which sounds calls alot of hordes)..xD And I like it being really fast-paced.
