Left 4 Dead 2 - New mode announced

[chaseyqurt]

At a press event being held tonight in San Francisco, Valve has revealed an all new game mode for Left 4 Dead 2. Dubbed "Scavenge" the new mode pits a team of Survivors against a team of Special Infected. As expected, there is a catch.

The new mode is coming off as a mix of Survival mode and Versus. The team of Survivors is tasked with finding and retrieving gas canisters that have been scattered around the level. These canisters are then used to fill up generators. While they're attempting to do this, both the normal Infected and the human controlled Special Infected will attempt to thwart their plans.

The maps start off with a 120 second time limit, each canister used adds another 20 seconds to the remaining time. The goal for the Survivors is to use as many of the 16 total gas canisters before the time runs out.

When Left 4 Dead 2 ships on November 17, there will be a total of six Scavenge maps included.

Discuse.

Damn.  I either need to get a new computer to run L4D2, or I need another 360. whatever it'll run on.

Sounds stuff, I hate PVP. This but with Co-op only would be sweet.

Um, what?

It's basically just the survivors working together to get cans while the player controlled special infected try to stop them.

It'd be the same things without the special infected being player controlled :V

Player Controlled, Meaning if there some tard with a 500 ping you can't shoot them, you also get the good old L4D VERSES BALANCE, meaning if you're on the loosing side you can never win. Player zombies = stuff.

Only 120 seconds...

[Packer]

Only 120 seconds...

2 Minutes plus the 20 seconds you get from picking up cans, its basically the same length as Survival mode. They're appealing to the users with shorter amounts of time.

[BladeOfTheHorizon]

How long will it take to even find one? :o

Right, that makes sense, I hope there's an option to just have NPC special infected.

Scavenging for gas canisters?

Well, i was hoping for something funner, but this will do :c

Argh, I was hoping for something a little more sophisticated :(

Like one shot to the head and you're dead?
