There are three new special infected: the Charger, Jockey, and Spitter; five uncommon common infected are also introduced.

Throughout their journeys, players traverse different environments as they cross the southern United States, looking for refuge from the zombie apocalypse. The four players must work cooperatively level by level to advance to a safe house, and eventually, a rescue vehicle. Players must fight off hordes of zombies in order to reach their objective, including advanced mutated zombies with special abilities known as Special Infected. At the beginning of each level, players are equipped with a health pack, pistol, and primary weapon. They must fight their way through the zombies to reach the next safe room, and on their way they will encounter new equipment and challenges. If a player's health bar ever reaches zero, he or she becomes incapacitated, leaving the player extremely vulnerable to further damage. While incapacitated, players lay on the ground with their pistol(s) out as the new temporary health bar slowly runs down, leading to death. 01:36. Wandering Witch.

Overview The four new protagonists branding melee weapons in the first new campaign. Left 4 Dead 2 is a first-person shooter developed and published by Valve for the. Teammates have to ability to revive incapacitated allies by helping them up, and the revived player will gain back a small amount of health. Players can only be incapacitated a certain amount of times before their vision becomes blurry and they die, without any chance of revival. Players also have the option to heal teammates by giving their own health packs or other medical equipment, such as pain pills or adrenaline shots. AI Director 2. 0. The streets run red with blood. An improved AI Director is featured in Left 4 Dead 2 that dynamically alters the game experience more so than Left 4 Dead's Director. In addition to changing the spawn points of zombies and objects throughout the game, AI Director 2. For example, AID 2. AID 2 can also change the weather to create flash thunderstorms, dramatically reducing visibility and muffling voice chat, forcing survivors to hunker down and wait it out. Crescendo Events. As in Left 4 Dead, survivors will periodically come upon "crescendo events," in which they must activate an object, causing some sort of event to happen (such as calling an elevator), which in turn summons hordes of zombies that the players must fend off for a period of time before they are allowed to move forward. In Left 4 Dead 2, crescendo events come in greater variety than just the old "hole- up and defend" type. So- called, "rolling crescendos" require the players to activate the event and then run a gauntlet while being assaulted by zombies to reach an end point where they can deactivate the event (such as turning off an alarm). Another type of new crescendo is the optional one, such as navigating an impound yard full of alarmed cars, which, if touched or shot, will go off and draw hordes of zombies (possibly causing the survivors to set off even more car alarms, creating a spiraling chaotic chain reaction). These new and more dynamic types of crescendo events were motivated by Valve's desire to reduce the effectiveness of popular and very effective Left 4 Dead 1 tactics like closet camping and corner stacking, in which players crowd into a small defensible space and wait out the event, easily killing all of the infected funneled toward them. ![]() Some of the new special infected, as described below, such as the Spitter and Charger further counter these types of cheap survivor tactics. Campaigns. Set three weeks after the initial infection and one week after the events of Left 4 Dead 1, Left 4 Dead 2 features five all- new campaigns set in the American deep south. Locations such as New Orleans, Louisiana and Savannah, Georgia, feature prominently with some recognizable landmarks making appearances. Some of the new campaigns now feature daytime environments, which Left 4 Dead 1 did not. Also in contrast to Left 4 Dead 1, Left 4 Dead 2's campaigns have a clear official ordering, as outlined below: No Mercy - The campaign from Left 4 Dead 1 is now playable in Left 4 Dead 2. Here, players take control of the original survivors. Dead Center - Finding themselves left for dead in Savannah, the survivors band together and head for the mall, hoping to find an evacuation center. Finding nothing but more zombies at the mall, the survivors evacuate themselves by appropriating a vehicle and heading out of town. The Sacrifice (added via DLC) - Takes place from the first Left 4 Dead Survivors' perspective, as they head south. An interesting choice must be made by one of the survivors at the end of the campaign. The Passing (added via DLC) - Takes place when the survivors run into a blockaded city on their way to New Orleans. Several interesting events take place here, including a meet- up with the survivors from the first Left 4 Dead game. Dark Carnival - When they come across a permanent traffic jam, the survivors are forced to abandon their car and travel on foot, cutting through Whispering Oaks Amusement Park to find a concert stage they can use to signal a passing helicopter.

They finally find a plantation house on the river, from which they radio a boat and catch a ride. Hard Rain - When tasked with bringing Virgil (the boat captain) gas, the survivors travel through a small town and a sugar mill to reach a gas station that still has fuel stockpiled. They then must retrace their steps through a pouring thunderstorm back to the river and signal Virgil to pick them up. The Parish - Having finally reached New Orleans, the survivors fight through the city looking for an evac site but finding nothing but dead civilians, raining bombs, and of course, plenty of zombies. They finally locate an evac chopper and make a harrow sprint to safety across a massive bridge right before it's destroyed by the military to stem the pursuing infected hordes. Dead Center and Swamp Fever are comprised of 4 maps apiece, The Passing has 3, and the other campaigns all have 5. The Cold Stream DLC added the the titular community created map, as well as the remaining Left 4 Dead 1 maps. New dialogue was recorded by the original voice actors for enemies, items and weapons that didn't exist in the first game. Crash Course - After the rescue on the Mercy Hospital rooftop, the pilot becomes infected and is killed by Francis. They make their way through the alleyways until they reach a barricade and must fire a howitzer cannon to proceed.

The survivors must activate a crane, which summons a large horde, and continue over the rooftops the a construction site.

They make their way through a large tunnel, over a bridge, through a train yard, and a cornfield ending up at an abandoned farm house. The survivors call for military evacuation, which arrives in the form of an armored personell carrier. Cold Stream - The Left 4 Dead 2 survivors travel down a stream and through an underground military bunker in the woods. They travel further down the stream and destroy a demolition charge setup to protect a CEDA outpost, and cross the almost completely destroyed Memorial Bridge.

Crash Course is comprised of 2 maps, Cold Stream has 4 maps, and the remaining original maps have 5 maps each. Gameplay Modes. Campaign. Players play as the four survivors and attempt to make it through all chapters of a campaign. Each chapter ends when the survivors make it to a safe room, which contain ammo, weapons, and health kits, so that the survivors can get reorganized before heading out back into the fight for their lives. If any players die before finishing the level, they can be rescued by being found locked in a room at certain points in the level, bringing them back to life with half health and minimal equipment.
