It is the sequel to the award winning Left 4 Dead. The games current release date is set for November 17, 2009, for Microsoft Window and the Xbox 360. Like the origonal, Left 4 Dead 2 takes place during the aftermath of an apocalyptic pandemic, and focuses on four survivors fighting against hordes of the infected. Several new features will be introduced, such as new types of infected, melee weapons, and a story-arc that connects each of the game's five campaigns together into one full game.<br /><br /><br />Campaigns:<br /><br />The Parish, Swamp Fever, Hard Rain, Dark Carnival, Dead Center<br /><br /><br />Weapons:<br /><br />Firearms:<br /><br />50 CAL<br />Auto Shotgun, Auto Shotgun SPAS, AWP, FX, Grenade Launcher, Hunting Rifle, Minigun, MP5 Navy, Rifle, Rifle AK-47, Rifle Desert, Scout, SG-552, Shotgun, Shotgun Chrome, SMG, SMG Silenced, Sniper Military<br /><br /><br />Secondary Firearms:<br /><br />Dual Pistol, Magnum, Pistol, Pistol Silver<br /><br /><br />Melee Weapons:<br /><br />Axe, Bat , Chainsaw, Guitar, Katana, Knife, Machete, Pan, Tonfa<br /><br /><br />Supplies:<br /><br />Main Supplies:<br /><br />Health kit, Defibrillator, Ammo pack<br /><br /><br />Secondary Supplies:<br /><br />Pills, Adrenaline<br /><br /><br />Explosives:<br /><br />Molotov, Pipe bomb, CEDA Jar<br /><br /><br />Ammo upgrades:<br /><br />Incendiary Ammo, Explosive Ammo, Laser Light<br /><br /><br />Special Infected:<br /><br />Charger, Spitter, Jockey, Boomer, Hunter, Smoker, Tank, Witch<br /><br /><br />Common Infected:<br /><br />Hazmat, Mudmen, Riot Cops, Clowns, Dogs? (Infected Dog sounds found in L4D2 Demo folder)<br /><br />Left 4 Dead 2 features a new cast of human survivors, which will include Coach, a high-school football coach with a bad knee; Rochelle, a news reporter for a local television station; Ellis, a mechanic; and Nick, a gambler and conman. While the game was intended to be a continuation of the original, occurring a week after the first game begins, it was decided to create a new group of survivors because of the change in location. In addition to the four playable characters, Left 4 Dead 2 also features a support character in the form of Virgil, a Cajun boat captain, who appears in the game's later three chapters. This differs from the original game, where NPCs made little more than a single appearance.<br /><br />L4D2 Enthusiasts [Yes-L4D2] was created so Enthusiasts looking forward to Left 4 Dead 2 could talk and get daily news updates about the game that they are looking forward to. We plan on explanding our group, by merging with The Animated Dragon Gaming Community, to create Left 4 Dead 2 servers, later upon the release of the game.Krystalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14037910590759634539noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963742869030327919.post-25392671631083670652009-11-01T07:07:00.001-08:002009-11-01T07:07:34.181-08:00Play as infected in the demo<div style="DISPLAY: block" id="abody_91357284230624910" class="bodytext">Here we go<br /><a href="http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1008519&page=4">http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1008519&page=4</a><br />this one even has lots of pics<br /><a href="http://img230.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=c5m1waterfront0002.jpg">http://img230.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=c5m1waterfront0002.jpg</a><br /><br />But...

We had agreed on the Normal difficulty. If it would be too easy for us, so we could always switch to "Advanced". In Dead Center, the survivors begin on the already well known from the intro trailer roof. The map therefore plays a day and you fight, bit by bit through the city from a shopping center. For there will be a sports car that could fly with the Survivors. In the Mall (as shopping centers in the United States are usually called) arrived, one must now pave its way through the rather large building. Nice to see here, for example, that can be seen at the entrance to a building plan, where it should go is usually long. But no matter how simple it is not, of course, because it always comes back to places where the passage is blocked and you alternative ways to go. A nice place is also a toy store, in which one enters through a back entrance.<br /><br />Now we have to break the shop windows come to shoot further, but so stupidly out triggers an alarm. Then you have to fight through as quickly as a few floors up in a room there to turn off the alarm. At this point, we unfortunately failed at the first attempt, but the second try it worked finally. In contrast to Left 4 Dead 1 you can put up with these "crescendo event" not just in a corner and fend off waves of zombies, but must run together to meet one another in this and switch to disable the alarm then. This much more varied and more sophisticated intermediate events have struck me very positively.<br /><br />actually, the translation is by Wahey from steamforums, who was the first one to google-translate it. So, +rep him if you liked it.Krystalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14037910590759634539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963742869030327919.post-20912813145764970392009-11-01T07:03:00.000-08:002009-11-01T07:04:09.702-08:00Level names confirmed.<div style="DISPLAY: block" id="abody_91357284028009547" class="bodytext">Here we go, keeeedz.

IT-IS-THE-SHIT! The graphics were upgraded a little bit, not much, but it looks really nice, and runs really smooth. The weapon selection is a lot bigger, with a lot of new weapons, and the melee weapons are just awesome! Frying pan, machete, ELECTRIC GUITAR! I got a chance to use the AED (had to kill my own team mate to get to use it), and it's pretty cool. They also added an adrenaline needle to replace the pills. They also have a new weapons called bile, that contains vomit from a Boomer. When you throw it, it performs the same tast the the Boomer bile does in game.<br /><br />The character models look nice, and the new special infected are really cool. The Hunter, Smoker, and Boomer all have updated skins, and look a lot more zombie like, and yes, there ARE female boomers.<br /><br />The demo consists of 2 scenes from the Parish chapter, and they were really fun, I can't wait to play the full game.<br /><br />I give this demo 5 out of 5 peelz.<br /><br />If you didn't pre-order Left 4 Dead 2 already, I suggest you do it now. </div>Krystalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14037910590759634539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963742869030327919.post-78511972259008441752009-11-01T07:01:00.001-08:002009-11-01T07:01:30.004-08:00ATTN: THE DEMO IS OUT!

According to some connections I have and the Valve's group chat, Valve is currently play testing the Demo on different servers. I do not know the reasoning for different servers but there are a set number of play testers playing it as we speak.<br /><br />From what I know, some of the play testers have finished testing. Some are STILL currently testing the game. From what I have heard from my connections, they are almost finished and once it's finished it will release.<br /><br />Here's a word from Mike, the man I spoke to yesterday.<br /><br /><br />mike (3): We're making progress and hope to have some news soon.<br />mike (3): We're still aiming at a release today.<br /><br />Everyone just chill out.

There have been a lot of rumors flying around the Left 4 Dead 2 forums, and most of them are just trolls. Supposivly, there is no dedicated server problem. The Left 4 Dead 2 team just decided to do some last minute (or should I say hour) game testing, and they're fixing some glitches that were included in the demo. They have said that they are trying to release the demo within the limits of today (Valve time that is). Just be calm guys, it'll be comnig soon. </div>Krystalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14037910590759634539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963742869030327919.post-76810755312782716602009-11-01T06:59:00.004-08:002009-11-01T07:00:10.901-08:00WOW!

They say this based on the scenes seen in the new leaked trailer:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1zj3bUqs50&feature=related<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><br />Arguments: If these are all so called cutscenes, we wll see one cutscene after playing the game for 5 minutes.<br /><br /><br />- 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 ?<br /><br />- 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.<br /><br /><br /><br />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.Krystalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14037910590759634539noreply@blogger.com0
