As if the box art wasn't bad enough they added the worst tagline in history

Good art though.

It's a mock movie poster - I think a horribly cheesy tagline like that was the idea in response to most movie posters.

Fantastic art, as usual.

It's a bit of dry humor.

Personally, I like it. It's set as my desktop right now.

Yeah, it supposed to look like a typical 80s horror/action movie poster. It looks friggin amazing, it would be really interesting box art since L4D is supposed to be cinema-like game, and having a video game cover look like a movie cover would be quite original... Despite other peoples view, ive always loved valve art and box covers... never a dissapointment...

I'm not a fan of the Orange Box's cover, but I love the L4D box art. The green is just... cool. I dunno what it is about it.

The Green Box

The cover breaks immersion.

As if a chick, a sailor, a business man and some biker are all friends.

Zombie apocalypses can make anyone friends.

Why did that make me think of Harry Potter?

I love the movie poster advertisement.

I'm the opposite. I quite liked the Orange Box's much-hated cover but I rather dislike L4D's. Didn't like EP1's either.

Urgh, I loathed it.

But back on topic, I was just looking at the new poster and I noticed two things - the girls hands are seriously borked due to some sort of clipping/cropping error, and the old veteran bloke appears to be weilding a different weapon to any seen before. Thinking back to COD4, it appears to be an MP5, or was it 4? Maybe it isn't at all, I don't know, but have new weapons been announced?

Not that I really see the need for any more weapons to be thrown into the mix, natch. I'm quite happy with what we've seen already.

Well, it's just concept art, so it could just be of a gun which may not be in the game.

However, it may be some variant of the assault rifle that is in the game.

 

[Love4Fire]

i agree, looks like the assault rifle

 

[knut]

Nah, it's not, it's deffo an MP-something/SMG of some kind. The assault rifles are what the other two guys have, though one has some kind of scope and other has it's stock folded back. I think. It's all variable anyway as I really hope there aren't more weapons added to the game and I don't like being a gun-nut, just an observation from someone who has played way too much COD4.

The zombie concepts look like they were done by the same people that did the TF2 art. Really love that style.

-What Antipop said, I really like the campiness of it.
