| Left 4 Dead 2 is the sequel to the best-selling and critically-acclaimed co-op multiplayer smash from Valve, creators of the Half-life, Portal, Team Fortress and Counter-Strike
game properties. With multiple multiplayer options both on and offline,
extensive AI custom functionality, four character options, new melee
weapons and more, Left 4 Dead 2 promises to become one of
2009's best shooters on the PC platform and set a new benchmark for
co-op centric action games.
Story
Left 4 Dead 2
is set at roughly the same time as the original – just after the
outbreak that turned most of the population into various zombie
mutants. Players assume the role of four new "Survivors," each with
their own personality and new dialog. The game leads these "Survivors"
through the southeastern region of the US - from Savannah, Georgia
through the bayou country, and climaxing in New Orleans’ French
Quarter.
Gameplay
Just as with the original Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2
is a first-person shooter which pits players against hordes of
zombie-like enemies. As you would expect in a scenario where you are
regularly surrounded by masses of the undead, it is very good thing to
have plenty of help, as well as weapons at your disposal, and Left 4 Dead 2
has players covered on both accounts. The game features several
multiplayer options including 2-8 player online and offline support in
several modes seen in the first game, including Campaign, Versus, and
Survival, as well as the new Scavenge Mode. This new multiplayer option
tasks players, in the role of survivors to find a limited number of
fuel canisters hidden in a level in order to keep their individual
generators going, while other players in the role of the infected try
to stop them. In addition the game features very strong co-op play
support, with 2-player support locally and 2-4 player support online.
The game features a wealth of melee weapons and additional items handy
for battling enemies up-close and personal. Along with melee weapons
seen in the first game, players can look forward to wielding new
weapons like axes, chainsaws, frying pans, etc. Firearms are also
available, but seeing as zombie fighting usually requires a little
elbow grease, melee weapons are the mainstay. In addition, players can
carry other useful items, including a variety of throwing weapons and
several different kinds of support items, like flashlights to startle
enemies and light the way in dark environments and healing items like
first aid kit and defibrillator kits.
Customize with AI Director 2.0
Introducing the AI Director 2.0, Left 4 Dead 2'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.
