Alright, time to provide some late coverage on E3's sneak peak of Valve's Left 4 Dead 2. When I first heard about it I was pretty surprised. Left 4 Dead has only been out a good 6 months and they're already releasing footage from the newest installment.
Here is some information that could be found in the teaser trailer:
- Left 4 Dead 2 will be released on November 12, 2009. Mark your calendars.
- Left 4 Dead 2 will be based in southern US, unlike it's predecessor which was based in New York City.
- The original Left 4 Dead was entirely during nighttime, which was presumably the only time zombies could walk the streets. However, the entire Left 4 Dead 2 teaser trailer was during the daytime, and zombies were still walking about as if it didn't bother them.
- The only melee attack available in the original Left 4 Dead was a good whack to the face with the stalk of your gun, however, in Left 4 Dead 2 it appears you will be able to use frying pans, chainsaws, and possibly a good many more weapons that do not require ammunition.
- Four new playable characters.
- A whole new arsenal of guns will be available.
- Despite the new melee weapons, the old "smash zombie skull with gun" will still be usable.
- Pipe bombs and Molotov cocktails will still be usable.
- Boomers and other special zombies from Left 4 Dead will still be making your day even better, but more special zombies will be added, including some new form of Tank.
