Gametrailers TV has an interview with Gabe Newell and Chet Falizek about Left4Dead 2, along with some video of the newly announced fairgrounds campaign.
One goal of the new game is to tell a contiguous story, unlike L4D in which the connection between campaigns wasn’t always apparent.
There is gameplay footage of two of the new Special Infected, the Charger and Spitter. Chet details some of the new weapons, including the katana, axe and grenade launcher.
They finish up the interview discussing Crash Course, the upcoming DLC campaign for the original L4D. It’s focus is being a versus campaign that can be completed in 30 minutes, but it still includes co-op and survival mode. Its narrative is set in the period between the No Mercy and Death Toll campaigns.
I’d recommend watching it in Hi-def from the GameTrailers site.
L4D2 Release Date: 2009-11-17
