Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Hey Guys, I got lots of new info for you.

NEW SPECIAL INFECTED

"The Spitter" - The Spitter can lob a ranged attack into a group of survivors, creating an area where survivors take damage so long as they are within it. No, the Spitter's shot won't do a ton of damage all at once, but it can hurt you badly after a few seconds spent in its area of effect, and can easily make a team panic and split up when it hits in the middle of a fight. Imagine you're in a room with your team and a Spitter lobs the shot through the window, forcing your team to abandon the position. Now imagine that as you all abandon this spot that some of you split off from one another -- perhaps exiting out of the room from two different sides -- leaving yourself open to attack. I'm sure you get the idea of how this can be bad for a team and potentially rewarding in multiplayer.

NEW UNCOMMON COMMON

"The Mudman" - In Swamp Fever, the level-specific zombies are mud men: zombies who run on all fours incredibly quickly, making them hard to detect, and especially so when they're in a couple feet of water. During the not-so-quiet moments, these little zombies could come out of nowhere, providing ample distraction for other infected to close the gaps on defensive positions. The Parish campaign also featured a level-specific zombie in the form of biohazard suit infected, whose invulnerability to fire created some tough situations when you may be relying on molotovs to provide safety.

NEW ITEMS

"Adrenaline" - This can be carried instead of pills. Once taken, allows you melee without fatigue and run through zombies without slowing down. This would be useful for when your falling far behind from your team, and are being swarmed by zombies, just take adrenaline, and run.

"Ammo Packs" - These can be carried instead of health packs. All they are, is just a source for extra ammo. These Ammo Packs can be found especially in Swamp Fever, where you can find Parachuters stuck in trees, and you can salvage their stuff. This probably indicates that such places as Swamp Fever will be tight on Ammo.

NEW GAMEPLAY

Swamp - This is just showing off the Swamp level, you can see a dead parachuter stuck in the tree at 0:34, in which Coach and Nick inspect near the end of the video. Also if you watch it in HD, you can see that Coach and Ellis are carrying adrenaline instead of pills.

ShantyTown - This is part of the Swamp Fever campaign, where you have to hold out in a broken down old shack. You can see the Spitter attack in this video, at 0:48. You can also see that the shack is very fragile, so im guessing you have to try to avoid breaking the shack, or you'll find yourself fighting in the muddy water.

More info when I get it :)

When can we pre-order?

I was playing my friends L4D last night and it froze twice. I looked at the disc and it was cracked, I was like WTF how'd you not know?

Depends where you want to Preorder from, Amazon has it up, and if you have an EB Games/Gamestop nearby, they put up preorders as soon as release dates get announced.

I currently have all the L4D Expert campaigns done except Blood Harvest. I know several ways to do it so that's not the problem. I need a team to help with this over Xbox Live. If your not a complete retard, you have a mic, you don't run off on your own, you don't shoot teammates, you can listen, and you don't sound like your 5, tell me your gamertag, or message on live if you want to help. My gamertag is HWDOG35.

NEW CAMPAIGN
Dark Carnival - This campaign is set in a rundown fairgrounds, called "Whispering Oaks"

NEW SPECIAL INFECTED
The Jockey - The Jockey is a mentally insane special infected, that hops onto the survivors backs, and gains control of their movement. While the Jockey has control of a survivors movement, the survivors can still slightly fight back and try to move in their own direction, but the Jockey will be doing minor damage while mounted on a survivor, so another teammate must get it off.

JOCKEY GAMEPLAY

And here is a screenshot of The Jockey

IM SO GLAD THERE THERE ARE MORE THAN 5 FUCKING WEAPONS. When I saw the ak, I became pretty happy. The new infected look cool. This really is was l4d1 should've been...

Alive4Ever, great iPod Touch app for you bastards, top down version of L4D.

20 guns is better than 6 I guess.

Also infected that takes control of you... you best be jokin'

Still hyped.

It's ridiculous. Goddamn ratings system.

Oh yeah, and can I join, I recently got L4D, which it looks like is all I'll be getting.

LOL!

Poor bastards we are, not that i had the money to buy L4D2 anyway :3 Looks like we're just gonna have to get someone to resemble some of the campaigns from L4D2 for us.

Don't worry, Aussies, VAVLe is working on a watered down version for you guys.

Now onto news.

NEW UPGRADE - Laser Sights, for your guns, makes accuracy improve

There was also a redesign on the spitter.

Oh hi there Paradox :D

Anybody else in here know how to do this WITHOUT using cheats?

We can do it again, we figured out where you're supposed to go once you're up there, but like every other map, the smokers rape you :/

We all got around 15 or 16 minutes here, until a bunch of smokers/hunters raped us.

L4D2 Flow Chart

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuump.

Personally I prefer the Versus Ragequit flowchart.

Anyway, good news for us Aussies is that L4D2 finally made it through the mentally retarded process of classification.

With the supposed 'un-censor' update that will be free to PC players after release, we should be getting the same game as you guys, thank goodness.

New multiplayer mode; "Scavage"

Moar buuuuuuuuuump

Moar buuuuuuuuuump

Scavenge looks fun actually. I'd welcome more objective-based gameplay like this to be honest, the old "stay alive as long as you can" type ones from the other game modes in L4D are a bit lame to be honest.

Also, now I wont have to double post!
