The title adds melee combat to the award-winning L4D style of play, with items such as a chainsaw, frying pan, axe, baseball bat, and more.

 

Introducing the AI Director 2.0, L4D'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.

 

 

 

Finally, with new Survivors, boss zombies, weapons, and items, Left 4 Dead 2 offers a much larger game than the original with more co-operative campaigns, more Versus campaigns, maps for Survival mode at launch, and more.

 

 

Setting:

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 4 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 thru the bayou country, and climaxing in New Orleans’ French Quarter.

 

Product Features:

 

* Next generation co-op action gaming from the makers of Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress and Counter-Strike.

* AI Director 2.0: Advanced technology dubbed “The AI Director” drove L4D’s unique gameplay – customizing enemy population, effects, and music, based upon the players’ performance. L4D 2 features “The AI Director 2.0” which expands the Director’s ability to customize level layout, world objects, weather, and lighting to reflect different times of day.

* New melee weapons – axe, chainsaw, frying pan, baseball bat – allow you to get up close with the zombies

* Four different survivors. New Story. New dialogue.

* More game. On day one, L4D 2 features more co-operative campaigns, more campaigns and maps for the Versus game modes than L4D 1, plus support for Survival mode out of the box.

* Stats, rankings, and awards system drives collaborative play

 

Left 4 Dead 2 is coming to the Xbox 360 and PC on Novemeber 17, 2009. :D

I definitely agree with you. This new game is coming out very quickly after the release of the original.

 

I'm looking forward to it, I just hope they do it right & not make it a rush job.

 

Did anyone else notice that it's out 1 week after Modern Warfare 2?

 

Busy month for us all... lan party following those releases will be ROCKIN!!!

 

Now if they could only get Diablo 3 out then as well, not only would we be all broke but we'd have a great time being broke!
