Left 4 Dead 2 Countdown Clock!

Check out the Left 4 Dead 2 Countdown Clock at our blog: http://leftfourdeadtwo.blogspot.com/

Lol, you're already on the blog right now!

L4D2 Demo release accurate

For so far Ive got the demo release times for some countries accurate.

You can watch your personal time here. It will be converted to your time zone.

http://steamcommunity.com/games/L4D2/events/55327883716288366

If your not sure, read on.

Time zone GMT ( such as England):

Tuesday 8:00 pm
_______________________________________
Time zone GMT + 1 ( such as Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Sweden)

Tuesday 9:00 pm
_______________________________________
Now , you can just count on. GMT + 3 = 10.00 pm etc.


This announcement is for people who are not sure about the demo times. I can make mistakes too! but im kinda sure these are the right times for the time zones.

Leaked Zombie Survival Guide does not contain cutscenes.

I think most people already noticed but a LOT of people keep talking about cut scenes in the game. They say this based on the scenes seen in the new leaked trailer:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1zj3bUqs50&feature=related

Looking at the clips in the leaked trailer, it clearly shows loads of spots in the game/ chapters itself. That already proves these are not cutscenes.


Arguments: If these are all so called cutscenes, we wll see one cutscene after playing the game for 5 minutes.


- How can there be a cutscene if Maybe one character dies. if someone dies, how can there be a cutscene with the guy alive in it ?

- If the above thing would be true, that there are cutscenes, like the lcips from the leaked trailer, it would mean that IF one survivor dies, they all have to start all over again. Except if Valve made LOADS of cutscenes.



Again, I HIGHLY doubt if these cutscenes are little intro movies before each campaign. since they show areas within the campaign itself. An intro movie cant show areas that will be visited in the campaign.

Bull f!@#ing horse s$%^!

"We have accomplished everything we can on our manifesto. We’ve been dealing with Valve ever since our group started, then we met them in-person and now we’re at the point of concluding our discussions. Our goal wasn’t to steer people away from L4D2, it was to get Valve’s attention and have them support original L4D. We succeeded and that’s where our mission ends; nothing more or less."

Bull fucking horse shit! You got nothing accomplished, Valve promised L4D DLC, and they gave it to you.

"Our goal wasn’t to steer people away from L4D2"... Uhmm... Do you guys even know what a freaking boycott is? Lol...

Anyway, posting this because I just decided to read the post that the boycott made a while back. Didn't think it was important enough to read before, but now that I read it, it makes a good script for a good drama comedy (dark comedy for all of you advant movie fanatics.).

P.S. to the boycott, CRY SOME MORE!

Nicely said: "Mr.Flunkorg posted on October 24, 2009 @ 9:46am
Yea they probably said that... but in reality they where humiliated when they made them selfs look like complete retards, they probably did this to make the defeat less embarrassing, but they ended up making them selfs look like arrogant ass fucks who can't even stick with there own arguments lol cowards "

Realism Details

A bit is unveiled - http://www.straight.com/article-266036/left-4-dead-2s-realism-mode-made-advanced-zombie-killers.

Almost no glow, no glow on teammates, and lots more hp on the infected. However it can be played on easy, to make it EASY realistic zombie-apocalypse.

Just for you to know, because we failed at timing - go preload the demo, bitches.

Pub Poll - Song for Commercials

Here we go. Last game used two unpopular, but still awesome tracks - Grounds for Divorce by Elbow(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL4mywCOJXA) and Train to Miami by SPBT(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLJ76XzuG6c&feature=related)

What should be used for the second game?

The New Boycott Group is not a Threat but..

You all propably heard of new the L4D2 boycott group 2. Dekland seemed not to understand what closing a boycott group means. Instead of giving up, he continues the Boycott.

Over 30,000 boycotter members are not happy about the fact that the 1st boycott group is closed. Yet, when they find out of this New boycott group, they will massively join the Boycott Crusade part II.

As I notice is that Walking_target and Agent ( old boycott admins) are trying to hide this group.

The problems that could be created when old boycott members find this new official boycott group:

1: A New flame wars will be started on the forums and in chat rooms.

2: Games such as Team fortress 2 can be ruined by endless discussions between l4d2 lovers and boycotters.

3: Some boycotters may buy l4d2 and will ruin games on it to show their rage.

4: In the worst case Valve could take the group serious. Which is bullshit. Boycotters need to understand that DLC"s normally cost money in this world of buisness.

What u guys think ? Will this new group:
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/l4d2boycott2?

be a new threat ? You guys need to remember that the old l4d2 boycotters are furious. When they find this group .....

So what we do ? We spam the new group ? Discussions with old l4d2 boycotters ? Or just leave it like this ?

Demo Details

Here we go...

Pre-Order Now and Be the First To Play

Oct 15, 2009 - Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Half-Life and Counter-Strike) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced details and timing for the demo of its upcoming zombie thriller, Left 4 Dead 2.

The Left 4 Dead 2 demo will feature gameplay taken from "The Parish" campaign, set in the New Orleans French Quarter. Playable by 1 to 4 players over local or Internet connections on both the Xbox 360 and PC (with two-player split screen available on the Xbox 360), the demo features all the new boss infected zombies and all the new melee weapons included in the full product.

Those who pre-order the game (at participating retailers or via Steam) will obtain early access to the demo on October 27. The demo will then be made available to Xbox LIVE Gold members and all PC gamers on November 3. Then all Xbox LIVE members will obtain access to the demo on November 10.

Coming exclusively to Xbox 360 and PC, L4D2 promises to set a new benchmark for co-operative action games and become one of 2009's marquee titles. Set for release on November 17, the title adds melee combat to enable deeper co-operative gameplay, with items such as a chainsaws, frying pans, axes, baseball bats, and more.

With the AI Director 2.0, L4D's dynamic gameplay is taken 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. The result is a unique game session custom fitted to provide a satisfying and uniquely challenging experience each time the game is played.

Adding new Survivors, boss zombies, weapons, and items, Left 4 Dead 2 offers a much larger game than the original, featuring more co-operative campaigns, more Versus campaigns, new Survival maps, and the new competitive game mode, Scavenge, all available at launch.

Boycott? WHAT Boycott?

Yay.
Someone gave them a bit of brains. Or no. I dunno.

Anyway - http://steamcommunity.com/groups/L4D2boycott/announcements/detail/91356134662203323

Guess what? They're closing due to their imaginary "win".

Achievements unveiled. All 50.

Yayzorz!
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/left-4-dead-2/achievements/

Notice - it spoils a new throwable(BILE BOMB! GO COMMUNITY REQUESTS!), defibrillator, and a bit of how do the remaining uncommons look like. And some of them are just hilarious.

Fourth and First Campaigns SUDDENLY Unveiled.

And not by Valve. Some... Taiwann or like that source gave us FIVE posters.

http://gnn.gamer.com.tw/4/39834.html

There are TWO more. And...

The first, mall campaign, is called Dead Center and has this tagline - "Prices aren't the Only things getting Slashed"


Fourth is urban-based campaign with some water temathics, due to it having a name "Hard Rain" and a tagline of "Come Hell and High Water". However, a refinery can be seen at the background.



Here are the posters.

Left4dead 2 versus gameplay video reveals information about the first campaign.

The versus gameplay ( Dark Carnival 2nd campaign) posted by 1337_n00b, gives us more info about the first campaign set in Savannah.

link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gw2crf42520

The conversation at the start between ellis and nick tells about the resuqe vehicle and the Finale location in the first campaign.
Conversation:
Ellis: "Sorry Folks,This car is capable for a miracle but cant drive over 20 miles **something**. I think we're walkin.''


Nick: "Dont Worry(?) Ellis, Atleast you got us out of that Mall."

__________________________________

This means the finale of the first campaign is in a Mall. That not just only, they escape with the car seen at the beginning of the versus video. '0:15.'

Plus the thing propably Ellis gotta do is getting that car fixed. ( he is... was mechanic).

Сollection of teh new SI skins & an interview

My thanks to the L4DWiki and Zombicidal.com for the pics, it would take me forever to post them.

New officer

Just for you to know - we have a new officer, and he's, actually, posting this. Well, at least i know that i'm an officer because over95% of info Grudge posted ever(ofc when there was no Krystal) 've been brought to him by me.

And once again sry for my bad engrish. Yes, engrish.

First Versus footage ever

Here it is, kids, Versus. Even though we were able to see some infected in action in the Scavenge mode videos, nothing's better than some versus video.

DC1, the player is an essence of noobism, but, still, everyone else's the same shit.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gw2crf42520

sit back, relax, and facepalm.

---

and notice that Nick says that at least they've got out of the mall.

Gratzez, we have a mall now. Coooooon-firmd. Even though Chet mentioned it before.

Who does not want to kill Valve for showing DC instead of the first campaign now?

'Realism Mode'' accidentally revealed during Scavenge mode previews

Is this a harder difficulty then expert? Less ammo and health ? hmm

(Source: Shacknews)

It seems Valve revealed more of Left 4 Dead 2 than it meant to while blowing out the game's new Scavenge mode, as 1UP took note of an option for "realism mode."

"That's a special modifier that we forgot to hide for this demo," explained Valve's Chet Faliszek, with marketing VP Doug Lombardi then describing it rather vaguely:

"Take Portal for example: We had our best internal players who could blow through that game in about 30 minutes, but within weeks of launching it we had people on YouTube beating [the testers'] times by 10 minutes or more. Realism is for those players."

http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/60788

EDIT: This 'propably' means that this game mode is made for people that even beat expert in a short time. Who knows how this will look like.

What ya guys think ? slower zombies/ infected? no infected at all ? no medkits/ammo? ..?

L4D2 New Gamemode revealed, L4D2 Scavenge Infected gameplay and some more facts!

Gamevideos revealed the new gamemode.
It is called:"Scavenge." Two teams. Survivors and Infected. In the middle of the map is a generator.. it needs to be filled up. 16 gas cans are hidden everywhere. you and your team got 1 minute and 30 seconds to find as much gas cans and fill up the generator.
The Infected team tries obviously, to stop the survivors. The team that filled the generator with the most gas cans, wins.

Video:

http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/26705
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T7_w4fERwo

This video also shows a new reload animation for the Scar AND a FEMALE boomer skin.

Now raises the question, does every SI have a male and female skin???

Plus a new twist to the soundtrack when died.

Left4dead2 Demo coming October 27

The promised downloadable sample for Valve's zombie shooter sequel will arrive on October 27, the company confirmed tonight at an Electronic Arts event in Japan.

No other details were mentioned, leaving it unclear as to if that date applies to everyone or just those that pre-order. However, a listing from retailer game.co.uk notes "[the Xbox 360] demo will be exclusive to preorder customers up until 3rd November."


Valve previously said those who pre-ordered from "participating retailers or Steam" would snag "advanced access to the demo," with the company later adding that pre-ordering folk would also receive an exclusive melee weapon: the American baseball bat.

The PC and Xbox 360 game is due November 17. We're checking in for more details, including whether or not PC and Xbox 360 will get the demo on the same day.

Thanks to 1337_noob. He found a picture of someone wielding a chainsaw and a ( french ) interview showing some small parts of someone using a chainsaw. Yet the dude with the camara got, like the boycotters, no braincells and just pass the player using one.

Atleast we can see a bit of this awesome melee weapon. The video is french so just put off your sound if u dont understand french.

L4D2 Boycotters angry on their admins

First I want to thank PJthePlayer.

The l4d2 boycott leaders/admins have been invited by valve to play some L4D2.

SOME NOTES!:

Idk if you alrdy know it or not.

- A Melee weapon replaces your pistol so it allows you to choose what pistol goes in what hand.

- Atleast the Tank ( as seen in the gameplay video) and the hunter get a new skin. Don't know about the other (l4d1) Special Infected.

A Deagle, a laser sight upgrade and the night- stick

First I want to say Thanks 1337_n00b[L4D2] for the awesome news and links!!!!


Valve confirmed a new weapon. Its the Deagle. People who played counter strike etc, will know the true power of this weapon.

This weapon can be seen on this picture:

http://bbs.nashalife.ru/attachment_800_33c4da2882c831b2bafa0dfa0a2489d5.jpg

Although the skin is a Deagle, the text above it says: Magnum Pistol.

here is a video with a small view on the deagle in the beginning.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqwMrMRrW6Q


Valve also announced laser sight upgrades.
This can be confirmed in the same video link.
(pause at 0:08)

The last thing that is been announced is a Night stick melee weapon.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/left-4-dead-2-specials-weapons-and-tactics-hands-on

Read the text beneath the dark Carnival movie poster.


Well, thats for all Folks. It looks like Left4dead2 is getting bigger and bigger!


The murderous infected may have headed south for this outing, but there's no sign yet that they've started to go downhill.

LOL: Half life 2 episode 2 GNOME on the Movie poster: Dark Carnival XD!!!

I made a yellow circle with 'paint' around the gnome. It is standing behind Ellis. Maybe a reference to Hl2 episode 2 ???????

At PAX, valve revealed more about the campaign: Dark Carnival. The Uncommon common infected special for this campaign is the Clown. (already known). His special ability? Attracting Hordes.( like the screamer??).

Some people say he attracts large hordes, others say just a small one. Ofcourse Dark Carnival got an awesome movie poster.

The 3rd new SI confirmed ?

Clowns, A Dark carnival and now .... maybe the 3rd new special infected confirmed by valve? Not many people know it so far but it seems that play testers have seen the 3rd new SI.

It seemed that this SI was supposed to be a suprise for Penny Arcades Expo.
This play tester is saying its called the Jockey.
A male infected. Wearing a colorfull shirt with diamond shapes accros the middle of his shirt.
Nothing exotic, just like a mental assylum case zombie. He seems to jump up with decent height. Nothing like the hunter though.
He can jump onto your back, and then you can't control your character anymore like being incapped, only instead of being stuck on the ground, or being hung by a smoker, he can force you to tumble away in any direction he wants while he is on you.
Oh and he got a very weird distinct laugh.


If its true or not. The only truth will be revealed on PAX or by Valve later this year.

* The Play testers didnt call him actually annoying or anything. The playtester talking about it ( the link ) said he was never hit by one.


THANKS L33T- N00B(EX-WARDENER) for the awesome link :) xD

(Thanks to Tom from the l4d2 Acceptance Group)

http://www.zombicidal.com/l4d2/

Some guys gave me a site with LOTS of information. Let's just say, all left4dead2 information that has been revealed. From campaigns ( chapters) to weapons, new items, changes in gameplay, speculations, character info and MUCH more. It is worth to check it out, if you want to know everything about l4d2 so far.

New Left4dead 1 DLC planned for September ( Valve: 5 Boycotters: 0 )

"Crashing will be the easiest thing they do today."

''Entitled "Crash Course," the latest DLC delivers new single-player, multiplayer and co-operative gameplay to both platforms. Targeted for release in September, "Crash Course" bridges the gap between the end of the "No Mercy" campaign and the beginning of "Death Toll" in the original game, expanding the game universe with new locations, new dialogue from the original cast, and an explosive finale

While containing both Survival maps and a Co-operative Campaign, the primary goal of "Crash" is to deliver a complete Versus mode experience in just 30 minutes, resulting in a streamlined version of the game's existing Versus campaigns. A recharge timer for infected teammates has also been added, and item spawn behavior has changed for more balanced gameplay.

"Since the release of Left 4 Dead last November, the design team has been excited about creating new experiences for this world and allowing players to do the same, by releasing much of our internal toolset, like the Survival Pack and Authoring Tools," said Gabe Newell. "We're working with the fans toward the ongoing entertainment value of the product."

Left 4 Dead is an action horror game from Valve that blends the social entertainment experience of multiplayer games such as Counter-Strike and Team Fortress with the dramatic, narrative experience made popular in single player action game classics such as the Half-Life series of games. Released in November of 2008, L4D has earned over 50 industry awards from outlets around the world and sold almost 3 million copies worldwide.

Left 4 Dead: Crash Course is targeted for release in September and will be available free of charge on the PC and for 560 Gamer points on Xbox Live. ''

And the player of the week is...

Gordo FreeMon! Cangradulatios! And umm... Uhh... Erm... Yeah... Congradulations anyway...

P.S. You're awesome.

"ABOUT THE GAME"

Set in the zombie apocalypse, Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2) is the highly anticipated sequel to the award-winning Left 4 Dead, the #1 co-op game of 2008.
This co-operative action horror FPS takes you and your friends through the cities, swamps and cemeteries of the Deep South, from Savannah to New Orleans across five expansive campaigns.
You'll play as one of four new survivors armed with a wide and devastating array of classic and upgraded weapons. In addition to firearms, you'll also get a chance to take out some aggression on infected with a variety of carnage-creating melee weapons, from chainsaws to axes and even the deadly frying pan.
You'll be putting these weapons to the test against (or playing as in Versus) three horrific and formidable new Special Infected. You'll also encounter five new “uncommon” common infected, including the terrifying Mudmen.
Helping to take L4D's frantic, action-packed gameplay to the next level is AI Director 2.0. This improved Director has the ability to procedurally change the weather you'll fight through and the pathways you'll take, in addition to tailoring the enemy population, effects, and sounds to match your performance. L4D2 promises a satisfying and uniquely challenging experience every time the game is played, custom-fitted to your style of play.


Next generation co-op action gaming from the makers of Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress and Counter-Strike.


Over 20 new weapons & items headlined by over 10 melee weapons – axe, chainsaw, frying pan, baseball bat – allow you to get up close with the zombies


New survivors. New Story. New dialogue.
Five expansive campaigns for co-operative, Versus and Survival game modes.


An all new multiplayer mode.


Uncommon common infected. Each of the five new campaigns contains at least one new “uncommon common” zombies which are exclusive to that campaign.


AI Director 2.0: Advanced technology dubbed “The AI Director” drove L4D's unique gameplay – customizing enemy population, effects, and music, based upon the players’ performance. L4D 2 features “The AI Director 2.0” which expands the Director’s ability to customize level layout, world objects, weather, and lighting to reflect different times of day.
