New Mode revealed!

SCAVENGE MODE! ::D

Valve took the wraps off Left 4 Dead 2's brand-new competitive multiplayer game type, "Scavenge," at a press event in San Francisco this evening. According to the developer, this mode is built purely for "quick, more frantic gameplay." (Yes, L4D actually can be more frantic).

Scavenge has the four survivor characters scrambling to collect gas cans from various spots in a confined location -- in this case a motel, pictured -- in order to fuel up a generator before a two-minute timer expires. There are 16 cans total and 20 seconds are added to the clock for each one that's successfully retrieved.

Four other players, controlling Special Infected, must do their best to stop the cans from reaching the goal. The two new Special Infected, Spitters and Jockeys, really excel in this mode. The former can set dropped cans on fire, while the latter can leap onto the shoulders of a survivor, "steering" them away from their goal.

These best two-out-of-three matches are broken up into three rounds, during the "half time" of which players switch sides. Valve confirmed that each of L4D2's campaigns has a unique Scavenge map, for a total of six shipping with the game on November 17.


Versus mode and now this?? AWESOME! :D

It's not over yet...introducing "REALISM MODE"

"Realism mode." Valve's Doug Lombardi explained that it was for the serious player: "Take Portal for example: We had our best internal players who could blow through that game in about 30 minutes, but within weeks of launching it we had people on YouTube beating [the testers'] times by 10 minutes or more. Realism is for those players." In other words, it's training for the real zombie apocalypse. If our imagination is any indication, expect Realism mode to feature plenty of realistic pants crapping.

Yeah, you think it's a game until a life-like scenario in the game kicks in. You'll thank Valve later!

Lol i still dont get it...

what does the realism thing mean??

Like Frodus said basically. Valve wants to make sure you KNOW what it's like to really survive something like this!

so is it just like...uh...a new...difficulty?

like a step up from expert?

No, not a new difficulty since the game play mechanics are tweaked. I would call it a polished survival mode that's not timed and acts like a normal campaign from what I'm understanding.

So...its survival while actually playing...the campaign...


And...um...>.>...

I'm sure Valve will clarify shortly. I'm just guessing the situation here.
