Well Thats it

Well that's it I'm afraid I started this blog off to help the game be better. The game has been out awhile now and I bought it straight away however I spent more of my time playing the first one. Oh well.

Introducing Swamp Fever

Valve along with EA will be show casing the new campaign 2 out of 5 (Should be 6 in my opinion - bring on the exploited DLC -_-) called Swamp Fever at this years comic-con.



As you can see from the image a very misty, damp, raining dark level - excellent this is more like it! Apprently they'll be showing off some of the new items in L4D2, be sure to drop back when more details emerge.

New Handheld weapons!

Theres been a slow diegestion of L4D 2 news recently, one new addition to the weapon aresenal is the cricket bat! Thats to go along with the axe, chainsaw and frying pan.

As you can see here one of the new characters in l4d2 Ellis sporting a cricket bat (no not the same as a baseball bat) Playing on the rivalry between the Aussies and England (Shown in Picture) This means that we might see some new campaigns in other countrys after L4D2. Also note that this could be a reference to an excellent British zombie film 'Shaun of the dead'.

All we need now are frisbee records!

Campaigns Galore

With the new addition of user generated content means thats loads of cool campaigns are being created.

One such website is dedicated to all things modding be sure to check out this site http://www.l4dmods.com/
Most of the campaigns are in beta but they offer different mods such as character skins. Nice

User created Campaigns now fully supported

As of today you can now upload user generated content and play them in the game. The server and authoring tools have been updated also.


Get those mods rollin'!

More Mod functions coming next week

Next week you will be able to download the full Mod tools for L4D. There will be a new campaign system where you will be able to download user based content and then play it in the original game. Good stuff!

Resident Evil 3: Mod

Here's an excellent example of what can be done with the L4D development tools. The author 'Outatime' has done a cracking job of re-creating scenes from Resident Evil 3: Nemesis.
