Q27 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Nick, Rochelle, Coach and Ellis. Left 4 Dead 2 - Fact Sheet The Infected Facts 1 - There 3 New Special Infected (only one revealed so far.) * The Charger, specifically designed for speaking up camping survivors. Knocks down survivors and then picks up the last one and begins smashing him into the ground which only another survivor can free him from. The Charger is much tougher than the other Special Infected (besides the Witch and Tank) but is especially weak from behind. 2- Uncommon Common Infected are special non-playable common infected. For example in the Campaign Parish the some of the common infected wear hazmat suits and can't be put on fire (Hazmat Infected) are only exclusive to the Parish campaign that we saw. However, it is said that other campaigns have each of their own uncommon common infected that have other special abilities. 3 - Tank, Hunter, Boomer, Smoker still exist and are modified in some way. 4 - More gore this time around for the infected. You can now literally tear them apart limb by limb, more blood and gore shown. For example you can even see torn backs/heads with wounds. Common infected are a bit tougher and can now survive dismemberment to a degree. The Campaigns Facts 1 - Five New Campaigns (One is already known as The Parish - This time it all goes down south. 2 - The Parish Campaign is a pure broad daylight campaign. 3 - All Campaigns will be ready for Versus, 4 Player Co-op, Survival and the new multiplayer game mode right out of the box as you purchase it on the launch day. 4 - Custom maps will be portable to Left 4 Dead 2 5 - All 5 campaigns will be connected by a single overarching story, unlike L4D1. The first campaign will be set in Savannah, Georgia before the infection fully sets in, the survivors will make their way through a swamp at some point and the final campaign (The Parish) takes place in New Orleans. The Survivors Facts 1 - Four New Survivors * Coach, a high-school football coach. * Rochelle, a cable television reporter from Cleveland. * Ellis, a fun-loving southern mechanic. * Nick, a con-man and gambler who is initially unsure of the other survivors. Gameplay Modes Changes/Additions Facts 1- Witches wander around the infected crowd during the day and sit and cry during the night. 2- New multiplayer gameplay mode that we do not know of yet. 3 - The AI Director is now smarter/harder and can change the layout of the map depending on how good or bad your doing. If you're doing good then a specific part of the map can end up being a maze with a dead end and only one way out or if your doing bad it can be as easy as going through a straight line. * Weather events dictated by the AI Director, particularly in swamps. These will suddenly reduce visibility so you will be unable to see other survivor's outlines. 4 - Single Player, Survival, Versus modes will ship with the game (+ the "new" multiplayer gameplay mode). 5 - According to the videos some of the Left 4 Dead 2 achievements seem to be same as the original Left 4 Dead achievements. 6- A new type of crescendo events refered to as "gauntlets" which require the survivors to move to a new area to turn off the crescendo so they cannot simply hide in a corner and wait it out. * A crescendo was mentioned where you must make your way through a parking lot full of cars with alarms and must avoid setting them off. The Weapons Facts 1 - Incendiary ammunition, a special ammunition type that, when picked up, gives you one full magazine of bullets that set whatever it hits on fire before reverting to normal ammunition. 2 - New Weapons - total 20 new items/weapons * New Pistol = Sig Sauer which can be dual-wielded with a Glock. It is unknown if there are any functional difference. * New Pump-Shotgun = A Mossberg 500 Marine. Unknown if there is any functional difference. * New Submachine Gun = A supressed MAC-10. The supressor is merely aesthetic, it is also possibly more accurate than L4D1's SMG but this is unconfirmed. * New Autoshotgun = SPAS-12. Unknown if there is any functional difference. * New Assault Rifle = FN SCAR. Unknown if there is any functional difference. * New Hunting Rifle = Scoped H&K G3 (possibly). The hunting rifle now has 30 round magazines rather than 15. 3 - Melee Weapons introduced (Fire Axe, Frying Pan, Baseball Bat, Chainsaw). * The Axe can cr0wn the witch. * Melee weapons can be picked up in a similar fashion to gas cans from L4D1, if you switch to a gun or press E, you drop the melee weapon. * Melee weapons have two attacks, a main attack and a push attack like all weapons and items in L4D. 4 - Regardless of the new Incendiary Ammo, Molotov's and Pipe bombs still exist in Left 4 Dead 2 Miscellaneous Facts 1 - Doug Lombardi officialy stated in a E3 2009 Gamespot interview that the new gameplay mode, other campaigns, and the new boss infected will be revealed over the summer following the next upcoming events such as PAX 2009. 2 - November 17th 2009 Release (Xbox 360/PC) 3 - The game will be "full price". The actual cost is unknown. I'm excited for it. The melee weapons seem cool, but the incendiary bullets seems silly. I'm buying it. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « I searched for a thread (I had to search "left dead" due to limits :stuart: ) but didn't find one, so eh.

I quit playing it because I don't know anybody else that plays and I got sick of that shit fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest my usernames always really suck Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 The first game felt incomplete and we had to pay a full $50 for it, this should've been free DLC to make up for the remaining $30 the first game's worth was originally missing.
