Valve is also unveiling the second Boss infected of Left 4 Dead 2. Known as "The Spitter" she has an area attack that can split up Survivors or flush them out of their hiding spots. They also revealed the "Mudmen," the "uncommon common" which are exclusive to the Swamp Fever campaign. Valve also noted that the "20-plus new items" will include AK47 and a grenade launcher. Now for some pictures..[br]

Edit: again I am foiled by fixed news posts.

 

[DigiQ8]

You failed Vegeta.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

****ing awesome. So is she a pregnant redneck zombie that vomits fetus juices or something?

For everyone saying L4D2 is going to become less creepy because - ommmggossh, we've seen a level in daylight!!!! - yeah, good call.

Christ this is looking great. Onslaught of new pictures, too. Cool.

 

[Lobster]

Loving all the new stuff, more options and choices in the equipment is great, and I like that they are giving each of the campaigns their own style of speacial-common zombie, it adds to the flavor.

 

[PorkPi]

Her shoes look reallly stupid. Just sayin'.

 

[Darkedge34]

Don't know why but it Reminds me of Chicken Run.

 

[PorkPi]

So I guess the spit is like a molotov cocktail? The article wasn't really clear, but that's what I got. Cool.

 

[Dev]

in the concept photo of all 4 characters, the guy on the right reminds me of leisure suit Larry

 

[Zephos]

Easily the creepiest infected D:

Will definitely buy this, it looks fantastic.

 

[Cpt Tenacious]

Looks great, any nay-sayers can eat shit. Other than Swamp Fever, what's the other campaign called?

 

[Lobster]

HaHa, just watched the videos, AK47 blasting zombies in the swamp reminds me of Stalker a little.

 

[Warped]

I'd hit it! with my dick

 

[BakonGuy]

the Spitter doesn't look very nice xD, I wonder how annoying this boss could likely get in-game? Also, the first and last video links link to the exact same video ??

Edit: the spitter looks like it's been eating acid cookies xD

Noted. Thanks!

Great, an AK has been added... :dozey: Seems there is quite a lot of new weapons this time around and I'm not totally sure I like the sound of it. A replacement of the selection of weapons from L4D, sure, but I don't know how I feel about so many different machine guns. That said, maybe it's going to be themed just like the common uncommon are to various campaigns? I wouldn't mind an AK for one level but a different machine gun for another... I think. Not sure, as the AK is such a generic weapon in the first place but we'll see how it goes!

EDIT: Maybe not, as the zombie bridge video shows that scoped rifle... not sure if that sounds as a sniper though, even though I recognise it as a machine gun from COD. Oh well.

EDIT: Don't know if it was the crappy audio, but the Hunter and Tank in the AK video sounded like they had new cries, grunts, screams, etc. Could be wrong, though it would make sense to give 'em a little upgrade I imagine. I hope even they get themed in around each campaigns aesthetics - that'd be cool, though not that important.

So... She's a long range boomer?

 

[nipples]

Different effect than the boomer, this hurts the survivors.

 

[Gorgon]

the game design is very well done so far. but the characters are crap.

Valve please change the characters to something COOL

 

[PriNcE oF SpAcE]

Spitter conceptart looks retarded as hell, I hope she looks different in game.

also they need to dirty up that dude's white suit it looks out of place...and fix the gay ass looking shirt of fat dude, yuck.

 

[kineaesth]

Love the Depeche Mode shirt.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Love the Depeche Mode shirt.

I had no idea that was there until you said something.




Oh my goooooooooooooood.

 

[Blacksky]

Spaah sappin' ma girlfriend!

 

[Glowstick]

OH GAWD!

MY EYES!

Seriously, first time I saw this I thought it was a female boomer..
Now I'm scared to look at it..

 

[DarkevilPT]

Just to help clearing your minds! LOL! :cheers:​

 

[bbson john]

Not a very interesting model. In fact, very disturbing.

Screw them a DLC pack for 20€ with that its fine for me.. i'm not giving 50€ for that shit again..

 

[Naph]

That shit's insane.

Now looking at some more of the intuitive content, wouldn't mind spending money.

Money that if u search a bit in FPSbanana u find kalash uzis models and some other shit that are in left 4 dead 2 for the 1.. its useless..
In my point of view they haven't changed anything inside the game that is worthless of being bought they only made changes in the visuals.. and incorporated 2 new specimens until now.. and the weapons they are making should be on left 4 dead from the beginning but the hell with that.. lets buy the same crap over and over again.. just to see how it is beautifull to play with two n!ggers and 2 jack ass'ses

[Kadayi]

Love the Depeche Mode shirt.

Sweet. They've gone off the boil in recent years, but Violator and Songs of love and devotion are still good albums.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Well, with DarkEvilPT banned, I guess we can enjoy the silence.

Thank you! I'm here all week!

When you ban people like these is it IP ban or just account ban?

 

[FishBulb]

Her shoes look reallly stupid. Just sayin'.

At least she's got shoes!

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

No point banning by IP for that. I'm not a total iron-fisted overlord, you know!

 

[MJ12]

So far I think she sounds pretty contrived. I do like her visual design though, has a weird "under the bed childhood monster" look to it.

Love the Depeche Mode shirt.

Yeah, but wouldn't it be more hilarious on Valve's part if she was wearing "The Cure"?

Eh? Eh?

 

[DoctorWeeTodd]

I love Rochelle and Coach's new look.

I might actually get this now.

 

[PorkPi]

Yeah, ***k that guy.
The videos were pretty awesome. The swamp looks great and the flaming tank charging the airplane was brutal, though did he seem to get killed too fast?

 

[Asknoone]

I hate elongated designs. They inexplicably upset me. The face, the jaw, they work--certainly repulsive enough; the rest of the design, not so much. From the torso down it seems rather forced.

Yeah, but wouldn't it be more awesome on Valve's part if she was wearing "The Cure"?

Eh? Eh?

Fixed, eh? Eh?

 

[hool10]

Holy smokes that is going to give me nightmares. :O Remember people, chewing tobacco turns you into the Spitter!

I also think their art direction is turning more grotesque as the virus mutates much similar to the movie "The Thing".

Also the weapons are getting more diverse and you just gotta have the AK-47 in the game. Like Killing Floor is putting in a AK-47 in their new DLC and a Katana. I mean there are just things that you got to put in a zombie game and the AK-47 is a staple of that genre and Valve/Counter-Strike.

It's looking more and more like a sequel to Left 4 Dead. I still say it should be an expansion to Left 4 Dead though. Create a Left 4 Dead: Las Vegas or something, not a Left 4 Dead 3 for every new "expansion". I bet when you get to Louisiana the "uncommon common" that will be there is people in masks and the whole Mardi Gras theme to the people. Probably zombies on stilts, lol. Or maybe find a whole bunch of Zombies Gone Wild there. The trailer showed that theme and Louisiana is characterized by their Jazz and Mardi Gras.
