SCREENSHOTS by Egor

Fans may have been outraged that Valve is leaving the first game for dead (ha, ha) so soon, but here's some new screens of the zombie-killing sequel anyway.



See all the images

The fighter jets in the last shot look interesting.

Forest Whitaker to the rescue.

Loud and proud.

Quote: Boycotting Valve's new title 27,037 Members | 1,981 In-Game | 7,257 Online | 35 in Chat Since June 2, 2009 Want to contact the team? Write us at --- l4d2boycott@gmail.com The Left 4 Dead 2 Boycott is a group of individuals who have pledged to boycott Valve's upcoming release of Left 4 Dead 2 on November 17th, 2009. We have assembled a manifesto outlining the basic concensus of many members of our community. (Note: this manifesto is a new version, which we have recently posted to keep our manifesto in line with the middle ground of our members. This is the correct group for the boycott) WE RECOGNIZE: -Valve is a company with financial needs and cannot be expected to survive without the release of new games. -Judgment cannot be passed on the quality of Left 4 Dead 2 until its release. -Left 4 Dead was, and is, a quality game which deserves the praise of the entire gaming community. WE ARE COMMITTED: -To holding Valve to its promise of free, continual updates to Left 4 Dead in order to build and sustain the community. -To keeping the Left 4 Dead community together in order to improve the quality of online gaming. -To supporting the model of continual updates Valve has set forth with its staple products like Team Fortress 2. WE BELIEVE: -The release of Left 4 Dead 2 as a stand-alone sequel will split the communities and decrease the quality of multiplayer gaming. -The announced content of Left 4 Dead 2 does not warrant a stand-alone, full-priced sequel and should instead become updates (free or otherwise) for Left 4 Dead. -Left 4 Dead has not yet received the support and content which Valve has repeatedly stated will be delivered. -The release of Left 4 Dead 2 will make Left 4 Dead an obsolete purchase and inferior piece of software after only one year since release. WE REQUEST: -That Valve honor its commitment to release ongoing periodic content for Left 4 Dead. -That Left 4 Dead 2 not be released as a stand-alone, full-priced sequel but as either a free update to Left 4 Dead or an expansion with full compatibility with basic Left 4 Dead owners. -That Left 4 Dead owners be given discounts for Left 4 Dead 2, should it be released as premium content. Therefore, we - the members of this Left 4 Dead 2 Boycott - promise to abstain from the purchase of Left 4 Dead 2 until our requests are addressed.

They clearly look like pre-beta pictures or Valve is doing a really bad job, the characters just don't assimilate into the environment and atmosphere.

Boycott L4D2. lol. No way.

I will happily play both L4D and L4D2.

As long as we're wishing to get things for free, I'd like a pony named Sparkles.

Unremarkable screen shots where the characters just look skinned, as expected

Wow, 27,000+ members, seems quite a few people are pissed. Maybe a combination of this and the huge increase in sales when l4d was offered at 50% off might entice valve to offer l4d2 at a reduced amount.

Must admit, it looks pretty sweet!

i dont get it

Looks rather meh. Even more washed out colours than the original, and is essentially the same game as the first. Not going to be paying full game price for this.

I think I see a new special zombie thingy yay!
Would be cool if they have some drivable vehicles too

they can boycott all the like if valve pays no attention and releases as planned these L4D addicts will buy L4D2 anyways. I know i would

l4d2 should be released as an expansion.

as a non l4d player, standalone just seems silly.

but who knows. everyone is going to buy it in the end anyway no matter what the kerfuffel.

efft.

I agree, **** off with this L4D2 boycott shit, sick of hearing about it.

that'd be my guess, the game is still looks like they are in the process of polishing it.. which is to be understandable since they don't plan to release it for a while yet

I like that the characters have a lighter skin. If there's one thing that ****s me off something chronic about L4D1, it's the fact that your grizzled and wartown comrades feature the same colour palette as the zombies.

Lolled at what is apparently a zombie haka too.
