Left 4 Dead 2 (Xbox 360)

Product Information

According to Valve, these problems were due to an unexpectedly huge number of players online on Xbox LIVE. The game has five campaigns, playable co-operatively by up to four people, as well as in Versus and Survival modes; we’ve been told there’s a new game mode, too, but you’ll have to play it to find what it is. In August 2010, Valve announced that it will promote selected community generated maps, one every two weeks, both by blog posts on their official site, and by offering the map on a number of their dedicated servers. Others noted that the appearance of African-American infected simply reflected the racial diversity of New Orleans. Scavenge: a new 4-on-4 mode that requires the Survivor players to collect and use as many fuel cans scattered about a level to fill up a power generator, while the Infected players attempt to stop them.

To enable situational awareness of other Survivors, players are shown the health and status of their fellow survivors. Instead of trying to fix features and include new features like mod support, the team opted to completely rebuild the game as a new title, properly addressing strong development steps to avoid the miscues from creating the first game.As in the first game, there are special Infected whose mutations grant them special abilities that make them highly dangerous, which act as bosses. There is not much of a story, but more of a series of interlinked campaigns that focus on the survival of the protagonists. They cannot be given ammunition upgrades like other weapons and players cannot utilize the laser sights attachment with them. 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. According to the NPD Group, the Xbox 360 version was the fifth best-selling retail title for consoles in November 2009, with over 744,000 copies sold.

Confogl is a set of rules for competitive Left 4 Dead 2 versus which standardizes certain elements and changes the distribution of items and weapons. Users in Germany who had purchased the game, can switch to the uncensored version as downloadable content, similarly to Australian consumers. The developers solicited several bands to include them in the game: Depeche Mode responded eagerly, and allowed Valve to use its music and other imagery in the game, such as on Rochelle's T-shirt. Versus: up to four other human players take control of various Special Infected to try and prevent the Survivors from completing a stage.A prequel to "The Passing", titled "The Sacrifice", was released on October 5, 2010, as an add-on for both Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2. Players also carry a flashlight with infinite battery life, the use of which enables players to see in the dark (with the downside of the player gaining the attention of the Infected much faster).

It failed to gain an MA15+ rating, the highest possible rating for video games in Australia at the time of release. Valve announced testing had begun on the Xbox 360, as well as for all the original Left 4 Dead maps via the L4D Blog. Another means was created by using different head textures along with various blood and dirt maps, and similarly different wounds applied to the body texture.

Faliszek wanted to include a "no-nonsense" woman from a Department of Motor Vehicles, but this character did not make the cut. In Left 4 Dead 2, the Director has been improved to encourage more participation by players, forcing players through difficult gauntlets to reach safety. Gameplay is the same just with an xbox controller and haven't noticed any visual differences compared to PC. On the way there, the four discover the city overrun with infected and that the military is actually leaving the city. While the game is intended as a continuation of the original, occurring one week after the first game begins, Valve decided to create a new group of survivors due to the change in location.
