November 22nd, 2009Left 4 Dead 2 clothing is surprisingly unprotective
November 11th, 2009
Honestly, you'd think licensed Left 4 Dead 2 clothing would provide at least some semblance of undead protection. Alas, it looks like the best that Glitch Gaming Apparel could provide is simple T-shirts. Sure, the 100 percent cotton shirts provide ample breathability, but they provide next to zero zombie bite protection. Even worse, they're short-sleeved, leaving hapless survivors with plump, juicy and completely visible arms.
Still, the Ellis and Coach tees at least have a picture of a medical kit on the back, which might be enough to fool a zombie into thinking you're prepared. Let's hope that buys enough time to find yourself a Molotov.

Valve: Left 4 Dead 2 Pre-orders 4 Times The 1st [Valve]
November 5th, 2009
Despite the boycotts, despite the un-Valve-like speedy turn around time, despite complaints that Left 4 Dead 2's cast of Survivors can't possibly live up to the first, pre-orders are four times that of the original, says Valve.
The developer tells CVG that perception about the sequel seems to have changed since the original E3 2009 announcement. "I think people are just excited now," Valve's Chet Faliszek says, citing response to the recently released demo and pre-order numbers.
Oh, indeed, Chet. I may not have coughed up the necessary bills to secure an exclusive American baseball bat or Bill's interdimensional hat, but I'm excited. Where is that UPS man, anyway?
Of course, Left 4 Dead 2 has the benefit of being a known entity, instead of a newly launched intellectual property like the first. We do love our sequels, Valve.

Play Versus Mode In The Left 4 Dead 2 Demo [Left 4 Dead]
November 4th, 2009
The Left 4 Dead 2 demo is now out there for public consumption, but users will have found that the game's signature versus mode has been locked. No problem. Just hack your way around it!
Modder Saul has whipped up a little plugin that allows you to play as the zombies in an online match (PC version only, of course). If you want to host a game, you download the plugin, if you just want to join a game, all you need to do is enter some commands in the console and you're good to go.

L4D mod ‘Dead Before Dawn’ recreates Dawn of the Dead remake
November 3rd, 2009
The new mod opened to public beta this Halloween and features a variety of locales stripped from the movie, along with its own snazzy campaign poster. The folks behind the mod even went so far as to create their own title sequence (though their version features far less Johnny Cash than the movie's). You can shamble on past the break to check it out.
[Thanks, Gutfree!]

Chet Faliszek crushes Left 4 Dead 2 DLC rumors
November 1st, 2009
Of course, Kotaku's slightly more accurate transcription of this quote had Faliszek saying, "if you're reading in the forums and you're reading about the 'Miracle' DLC or whatever, that's test code." He added, "to get tested through Microsoft certification we had to do test scenarios with DLC. We haven't actually come out internally with what we're going to do yet." Hmph. We liked our version better.

[Update] Left 4 Dead 2 Demo Doesn’t Name Upcoming DLC [Rumor]
October 30th, 2009
PC gamers dissecting the Left 4 Dead 2 demo found files that might reference the names of future DLC packs, CVG reports. [Update] Valve's Chet Faliszek shot down this rumor. They were spaceholder test file names.
Original story follows:
"Miracle Pack" and "Apocalyptic Pack" are both mentioned in the demo files. The original L4D survivors also are mentioned in the files. CVG speculates they might be made available at some time in the sequel.
News of Xbox Live avatar awards were also discovered by the same inspection of gamefiles.
I've emailed Valve to see if they want to take a swing at it. If so, it'll be updated here.

‘Left 4 Dead 2′ DLC Named In PC Demo?
October 30th, 2009
"Left 4 Dead 2" Avatar Awards clues may not have been alone when they were buried in the code for the game's new demo. Message board posters once again appear to have plowed deep into the demo's .txt files and unearthed some unannounced names -- the "Miracle Pack" and "Apocalyptic Pack."
"Seems people have been digging through the 'L4D2' files, heres some of what they found," user Cordl3ssPen posted on Rage3D.
The titles reportedly appear with error messages under the heading "DLC strings," indicating that a player has done something in-game that requires DLC.
"Please, download Miracle Pack content from Xbox LIVE Marketplace," the prompt reads, followed by another key phrase. "Would you like to download Survival Pack 1 content from Xbox LIVE Marketplace now?"
The Apocalyptic Pack, meanwhile, names names its content explicitly, asking, "Would you like to download Apocalyptic Pack content from Xbox LIVE Marketplace now?"
So it sounds like there are at least two DLC packs in the works for "Left 4 Dead," even if they aren't official yet. And it should be cautiously noted that until they're official, anything is possible. But the code rakers have proven themselves resourceful once again.
Have you taken a look at the "Left 4 Dead 2" demo yet? Seen anything that we haven't noted? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

Video: Left 4 Dead 2′s Realism Mode
October 29th, 2009
X-Play's Abbie Heppe explains there are a few major differences. One, dead players will stay dead unless revived with a defibrillator -- keep in mind that each player can carry a defibrillator or a med kit, not both. Second, zombies must be killed with headshots, though it's hard to tell how strict this rule is in the video. Third, players have to be much closer to items in order to pick them up. Finally, there are many, many more witches. See it for yourself after the break.

UK Viral Vid Teaches Us How to Cope with L4D2 [Left 4 Dead]
October 28th, 2009
Bad enough that this sucker's set in Louisiana and still features a cricket bat - I've truly never heard of anyone playing that game south of the Mason-Dixon, outside of university graduate students from India.
This viral vid across the pond for Left 4 Dead 2 furthers the European co-opting of the zombie genre - as American as the Fourth of July, apple pie and loud mufflers - by applying all sorts of Euro words to zombie-fightin' weaponry. You don't have a chainsaw but you do have a what? "A ... 'strimmer'"?
The hell is a "strimmer"?
Looky here, beefeater. My great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great granddaddy kicked your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great granddaddy's ass back in 1812, and then my granddaddy, forgiving all of that, bailed y'all out in the big Dubya-Dubya-Eye-Eye, so that I would grow up in a world where I had the inalienable right to call that goddamn yard tool by its proper generic name - "weedwhacker."
