Exclusive Left 4 Dead 2 Finale Footage!
For all you out there looking for a little L4D footage to wet your palette, look no further. What we’ve got here is some exclusive footage showing the redesigned finale for Left 4 Dead 2. All of you that thought that the original L4D finale was insane, take a good hard look at these videos. This is the most hectic L4D finale I’ve ever seen.
I don’t know about you guys, but that makes me want to pick up L4D even quicker. As you can see, the finale is no longer about chilling in one location and defending against a few huge waves of zombies. It’s now about getting chased by a plentiful amount of zombies that keep respawning as you’re running for that escape vehicle. I never would have thought that they could make the finale any more adrenaline pumping, but they managed to do it.

God those people playing were pissing me off.
I think it’s time to restate the things we want for L4D2.
1) No infinite pistol ammo anymore, make it a last resort firearm weapon that we need to find ammo for also.
Now that we have close range weapons, we dont need infinite ammo. It tips the scale in our favor to much.
2) Degenerating/destroyable melee weapons.
I’d like the opportunity to find and use new melee weapons as the levels progress, kinda like upgrades for the guns (Shotgun -> Autoshotgun). Not only would this stop tipping the scales in our favor so much, it allows us to try and use a variety of weapons throughout the levels. For example: See a restaurant? Lets stop by it real quick to see if we find a frying pan, or a zombie trap!
Plus, I’d love the idea of breaking a bat/frying pan/hammer on a zombie and then having to punch my way out with my bare hands in a desperate attempt to escape.
3) Option to play any of the campaigns during night time or day time. Look, the AI director was already pretty badass in the first game, in the second game it’ll be even better. I’m betting the game can make some CRAZY shit happen for different times of day.
Plus, nighttime is the right time to play most zombie games. Just give us the choice (How about having the level change from daylight to night using a realtime clock? As youre playing from 5-6pm, for example, its twilight, and you have to run faster to the saferoom before the sun goes down…or all hell breaks loose.
WORK WITH ME VALVE
4) Survivor bus/van. Every good zombie movie has one where survivors are desperately trying to drive through massive zombie infested areas while running over, shooting, and chaingsawing hordes of zombies along the way. I WANT THIS! GIVE ME THIS!
5) New grenades. Look, I’m a team player, but you know when someones gonna die. How about a grenade that kinda acts like the homing grenade, only it makes zombies attack one specific player whose about to die? When someones knocked on the ground, it’ll give you an option: “Sacrifice or Save?” If you choose sacrifice, your character throws a grenade full of boomer vomit at the downed character, making all nearby zombies attack the downed char while the others make an escape. I can see this being used a LOT at Finales.
5) Speaking of a party member dieing, in L4D1 when someone dies they need to wait until someone finds them afterwards, not really doing much. How about a mini game for the waiting player? Like a puzzle to create a molotov or fix a broken weapon while they wait, so when they’re rescued they have something more than just 1 pistol.
Fix a chainsaw minigame, anyone?
6) How about when you find that respawned teammate, they’re a respawn specific character rather than the same one who just died (say, I dunno, how about one of the original 4: Louis, Zoey, Bill, Frances)? And how about setting the respawn limit throughout a campaign too?
7) Enemies I’d like to see in a L4D game
-Zombie attack dogs.
-Zombie OMFG WE’RE GOING TO DIE animals like Zombie Tigers (oh shit!)? Zombie Elephants (OH SHIT!)?? How about Zombie Sharks while having to swim through a tank to get to a safe room (OH FUCK!)? HOW ABOUT ZOMBIE ALIGATORS SINCE WE’RE IN NEW ORLEANS AND NEED TO RUN THROUGH A SWAMP (RUN BITCH, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!)?!”
-Jack Bauer
-Michelle Obama (She loves kids, she kills zombies)
-Richard Simmons (come on, every zombie movie has someone you just want to die)
-Slash (yes, Aerosmith Slash. Slay them).
-Downloadable character skins. Just for something fresh (or nostalgic. Give me back the original 4!!).
9) Weapons I’d like to see in a L4D game
-Flamethrowers
-Harpoon gun (MAN EM)
-Sword or sharp, rusty blades
-Lawnmower (Dead rising had it. Maybe a lawnmower worn as a chest shield, run up to a zombie and let er rip!)
-Nail gun
-Grenade launcher (finale weapon with limited ammo maybe?)
-Lancer (Yes, the Gears of War Lancer. Never happen I know…but IMAGINE THE FUN)
-Gravity Gun (Oh valve, you know you might want to do this as a extra option. You know you do).
10) Levels I’d like to see in a L4D game
-Zombie Urban school (Schools out, forever).
-Zombie Mall (come on, this is a given)
-Zombie amusement park (OMG!!! IMAGINE ZOMBIE FUN HOUSE OR ZOMBIE ROLLERCOASTER!!)
-Zombie Las Vegas (yes, I know Dead Rising 2 is doing that. Doesn’t mean someone else cant).
-Zombie sports stadium
-Zombie cruise ship (this would need lots of imagination because you’d have to make it a huge maze to make it work. Plus, I want this to get zombie sharks)
-Zombie Paris, with the finale being climb the eifle tower to a rescue copter.
IMAGINE
-Zombie New York, similar to above
-Zombie Zoo (god, the possibilities here are endless. ZOMBIE APES!!!)
get a life ^
“Aerosmith Slash”
Slash isn’t in Aerosmith.
Epic fail
holy shit
Haha, it happens.
I need to preorder this sucka. Like, now.
Dan STFU and enjoy the greatness that is L4D2.
Holy shit buckets! That looks so awesome. I can’t wait to yell at Hollywood to tell him to hurry the hell up.
What retards they were right there. Unless I am missing somehting they should have had it or at least 2 of them should have survived.
Its good to know that LtDan isnt part of the L4D2 staff, most of his ideas would fail so hard.
