That's right! RainingMetal pre-ordered and had his head start on Left 4 Dead 2! Released a mere year after the previous installment, the Left 4 Dead series revolves around zombie-killing and escape.

The following are displayed in the HUD throughout the game (besides the givens, such as current Weapon and crosshairs): -Direction of where any damage taken came from (red lines appearing in the middle of the screen) -Occasionally a bit of blood -Tutorial Notes (will appear from time to time) The following are displayed in the HUD for Survivors : -Player's Current & Temporary Health (bottom-right) -Teammates' Current & Temporary Health (bottom-left to bottom) -Player's Inventory & Ammunition (right) -Teammates' Inventory (next to Teammates' Current & Temporary Health) -Who protected/saved who recently (left) -What Special Infected was killed recently (left) -Time endured (top, Survival only) -Record Time/Goal Time (top, Survival only) -Special Notes (will appear from time to time) The following are displayed in the HUD for Infected (the Infected view the world in a distorted, coloured vision): -Player's Current Health (bottom-right) -Teammates' Current Health (bottom-left to bottom) -Ability status meter (bottom-left) -Type of Infected currently playing as (bottom-left) -Teammates' status meter (bottom-left to bottom) All of the Survivors start out with 100 Health points. Should they run out of Health points, permanent or temporary, they will become Incapacitated, and will need help getting back on their feet. Should they get Incapacitated a second time, they will die the next time they run out of Health without having a Health Kit applied to them. It is impossible to get back to 100 HP after being hit once. When a Survivor's Health drops below 40 HP, their speed will decrease. A Survivor clinging onto 1 HP will be VERY slow. All Survivors can be seen through walls, as they will be shown as a blue silhouette. Any Survivor who is under attack by a Special Infected (being pounced on, got puked on by a Boomer, got incapacitated, etc.) will have an orange outline, or will have an orange silhouette. This also applies to Survivors trapped in Rescue Closets. Enemies covered in vomit will have a purple outline. The Infected can see how heavily damaged each Survivor is, by identifying the colour of their outline (Green, Yellow, or Red). They can also see the Survivors' silhouettes as well as their fellow special Infected (save for the Witch). -------------------- 2.03 > The Survivors < -------------------- There are four playable Survivors in Left 4 Dead 2. Presumably immune, they must travel across hazardous lands in order to escape from the calamity that is the Infection. ****** *Nick* ****** Appearance: Short brown hair, a bit of jewelry, green eyes. Attire: White suit. Preferred Weapons: Submachine Guns, Assault Rifles. Subtitle Colour: Blue. Former Occupation: Gambler, Conman. Likes: Money, bling, candy, billiards. Dislikes: His ex-wife, people who suck at shooting, peanuts, roller coasters, Ellis, Francis. He thought he would make a quick stop at the casinos in the riverboats, but since the Infection came along, Nick will have to stay down south a bit longer than he planned. ******* *Ellis* ******* Appearance: Brown eyes, brown hair, short. Attire: T-Shirt, baseball cap. Preferred Weapons: Hunting Rifles, Sniper Rifles. Subtitle Colour: White. Former Occupation: Mechanic. Likes: Horses, cars, Jimmy Gibbs Jr, The Midnight Riders. Dislikes: Special Infected, Nick. Ellis, the optimistic vehicle mechanic, doesn't fear the Infection all that much. He's pretty sure he's indestructible, he enjoys the simple pleasures in life, and he might even enjoy fighting the Infected, one by one. ********** *Rochelle* ********** Appearance: Black, short hair, brown eyes. Attire: T-Shirt. Preferred Weapons: Submachine Guns, Assault Rifles. Subtitle Colour: Pink. Former Occupation: News Reporter. Likes: Socializing, discovery. Dislikes: Being stuck in the middle of things, popularity contests. An unpopular news reporter from Cleveland, Rochelle was supposed to get some information out of Savannah after a promotion. But, like everyone else, she got stranded in the midst. She won't simply stay there though! ******* *Coach* ******* Appearance: Black, bald, chubby. Attire: Short-sleeved shirt. Preferred Weapons: Pump Shotguns, Auto Shotguns. Subtitle Colour: Purple. Former Occupation: Teacher. Likes: Chocolate, the Bible, The Midnight Riders, Jimmy Gibbs Jr. Dislikes: Witches, stairs. Coach used to be a teacher (first in football, then in health), but now it seems that the Infection will teach him a few more things. He's ready to take on the hordes of Infected, if it means to restore the simple life. ------------------- 2.04 > The Infected < ------------------- This is the main antagonist of the game: The Infected. Along with the predictable and numerous Common Infected, there is a bunch of more mutated and, hence, much more dangerous variations. Special Infected often appear throughout the levels, and will always try to attack the Survivors on sight. Most of them can take down a lonely Survivor without resistance. Boss Infected are even rarer than the Special Infected, as they often have the strength to kill off, or at least Incapacitate a careless Survivor without much difficulty. Expect a Boss Infected to be up ahead when there are few Common Infected around... ************** *The Infected* ************** Type: Common Infected. Appearance: Normal-looking, save for blank eyes and pale skin. Abilities: Claw, Climb. Health: 30/50/90. Anticipate them: When a Panic/Crescendo Event has been triggered, when they notice any Survivors, when someone has been vomited on by a Boomer, when the Horde chime is heard. Sounds Emitted: Generic grunting, generic shouting. The Common Infected is a typical zombie character. They aren't very strong, but in numbers, they are very difficult to get through without any firepower. They often attack by simply charging at the Survivors head-on, but sometimes they are simply wandering around certain areas of the map. Take advantage of this and kill the idle ones with Pistols to conserve ammo. Numerous things attract hordes of Infected (known as simply Hordes), such as Car Alarms, noises, and the Boomer's Vomit. They do more damage to the front than to the back. ***************** *Hazmat Infected* ***************** Type: Common Infected. Appearance: In yellow/green hazard suits. Abilities: Claw, Climb, Immunity to fire. Health: 30/50/90. Anticipate them: When a Panic/Crescendo Event has been triggered, when they notice any Survivors, when someone has been vomited on by a Boomer, when the Horde chime is heard. Sounds Emitted: Generic grunting, generic shouting. Hazmat Infected aren't too different from regular Infected, save for being impervious to flames of any sort. Don't waste Moltovs, Gas Cans, and the like on these enemies and simply shoot or smash them. Some Hazmat Infected drop Bile Bombs that the Survivors can use. **************** *Clown Infected* **************** Type: Common Infected. Appearance: Clown makeup, striped pants. Abilities: Claw, Climb, Attract Infected. Health: 30/50/90. Anticipate them: When a Panic/Crescendo Event has been triggered, when they notice any Survivors, when someone has been vomited on by a Boomer, when the Horde chime is heard. Sounds Emitted: Generic grunting, generic shouting, squeaky noises. Clown Infected can be quite a nusiance when there are other Common Infected around, since their squeaky shoes attract them (and spawn a few more) whenever they see a Survivor. Take them out quickly before they can fill the area to the brim with Infected! Their noses can be honked by shoving them in the face. ********* *Mud Men* ********* Type: Common Infected. Appearance: Covered in mud, crawls on all fours. Abilities: Claw, Climb, Swim, Mud Smear. Health: 30/50/90. Anticipate them: When a Panic/Crescendo Event has been triggered, when they notice any Survivors, when someone has been vomited on by a Boomer, when the Horde chime is heard. Sounds Emitted: Generic grunting, generic shouting. Some people like swamps, but not nearly as much as Mud Men. Mud Men are more agile than the regular Infected, and are rather fast in the water. When they attack Survivors, they smear mud on the Survivors' faces, obscuring vision. ****************************** *Construction Worker Infected* ****************************** Type: Common Infected. Appearance: Construction uniforms and hats. Abilities: Claw, Climb, Ignore Pipe Bombs, Resistance to Melee weapons and Headshots. Health: 30/50/90. Anticipate them: When a Panic/Crescendo Event has been triggered, when they notice any Survivors, when someone has been vomited on by a Boomer, when the Horde chime is heard. Sounds Emitted: Generic grunting, generic shouting. Thanks to their equipment, Construction Worker Infected can ignore Pipe Bombs, and can take a beating against Melee weapons and Headshots. Nobody really talks about them that much... *************** *Riot Infected* *************** Type: Common Infected. Appearance: Riot gear. Abilities: Claw, Climb, Immunity to damage to the front. Health: 30/50/90. Anticipate them: When a Panic/Crescendo Event has been triggered, when they notice any Survivors, when someone has been vomited on by a Boomer, when the Horde chime is heard. Sounds Emitted: Generic grunting, generic shouting. For some reason, the Survivors don't use the vests used by the Riot Infected when finished. Riot Infected are fully armoured in the front, forcing Survivors to shove them in order to spin them around. Their weak portions are at the rear. Riot Infected sometimes drop Tonfas. ************************** *Fallen Survivor Infected* ************************** Type: Common Infected. Appearance: Ammo belts, helmet. Abilities: Claw, Climb, Explode. Health: 30/50/90. Anticipate them: When somebody activated cheats in the game. Sounds Emitted: Generic grunting, generic shouting. A cut Infected, Fallen Survivors will explode in a gulf of fire when killed. Maybe they'll return in an upcoming update... ***************** *Zombie Gibbs Jr* ***************** Type: Common Infected. Appearance: Racecar Uniform. Abilities: Claw, Climb, Oil Smear, Immunity to fire. Health: 1000. Anticipate him: At the Atrium near his car. Sounds Emitted: Generic grunting, generic shouting. Poor Jimmy Gibbs. He might be stumbling in the Atrium if the Survivors are lucky (or unlucky) enough to meet him in person. ******** *Hunter* ******** Type: Special Infected. Appearance: Wears a damaged hoodie. Sometimes crawls on all fours. Abilities: Pounce, Claw. Health: 250. Anticipate him: When there's a zombie that's jumping far in the sky, when the Hunter chime is heard. Sounds Emitted: Growling, high-pitched screams (when attacking). Hunters are extremely dangerous to any lonely Survivor. They jump and pounce on their prey, and when they get on top of a Survivor, he will claw the Survivor to death until the Hunter is pryed off of the Survivor, the Hunter is killed, or the Survivor is killed. Be sure to stick around with a buddy upon locating a Hunter! ******** *Smoker* ******** Type: Special Infected. Appearance: Tall, has a few rather long tongues. Has green spores surrounding him. Abilities: Tongue drag, Claw. Health: 250. Anticipate him: When there are green spores in the distance, when the Smoker chime is heard. Sounds Emitted: Coughing, hacking, Smeagol-esque screams (when attacking, AI only). The Smoker is the only Infected (save for the Tank) that can attack the Survivors from a distance. The Smoker drags his victims towards him until the victim is stuck, or the victim is close enough to the Smoker for him to whack him or her to death. When trying to stick together, put the Smoker on the top of the "Must kill" list. Upon dying, the Smoker leaves behind a green cloud that impairs vision and speech for the Survivors when near it. ******** *Boomer* ******** Type: Special Infected. Appearance: Fat. Really fat. Abilities: Vomit, Claw, Explode. Health: 50. Anticipate him: When his/her fat belly is spotted, when the Boomer chime is heard. Sounds Emitted: Obese grunts. One of the first special Infected ever conceived by the guys at Valve, the Boomer doesn't have many direct attacks. However, his/her Vomit attracts the Horde when put on a Survivor, so try to stay away from them. When killed, his/her belly explodes, covering any Survivor nearby with Vomit. He/she doesn't pop when pushed away, so take advantage of this. ********* *Charger* ********* Type: Special Infected. Appearance: Huge, has one bulky arm. Abilities: Charge, Claw. Health: 600. Anticipate them: When there's a fast-moving big zombie running around, when a wall has been smashed. Sounds Emitted: Grumbles, Shouts. Chargers, like Hunters, are devastating to lonely Survivors. When they are about to charge, try to run out of the way before he can grab anyone. When charging, they can only run in a straight direction. They can deal lots of damage to their targets, so eliminate them quickly. ********* *Spitter* ********* Type: Special Infected. Appearance: Tall and lanky, has spit coming out of her mouth. Abilities: Spit, Claw. Health: 100. Anticipate them: When there's drool coming out of an Infected's mouth, when she spits. Sounds Emitted: High-pitched squeals and shouts. Due to the excessive corner-camping of Survivors, some Infected got jealous and took the Spitter course (okay, maybe it didn't happen THAT way). Spitters are basically the Molotov Cocktail for Infected. The acidic pools that emit from their spits become rather large, and are extremely devastating. Spitters don't usually make much sounds, which makes them even more dangerous. They take a bit of time in order to be able to spit again, and they will release a small pool of spit when they die. ******** *Jockey* ******** Type: Special Infected. Appearance: Hunched. Abilities: Latch, Claw. Health: 325. Anticipate them: When there's a midget Infected spotted. Sounds Emitted: Abnoxious laughs. Jockeys are also much like Hunters. However, Jockeys do less damage over time, but can move their targets to certain places, like towards Spitter pools, Witches, Boomers (anything that comes to the Jockey's imagination). Survivors latched to Jockeys can resist such movement, but it's rather difficult. ****** *Tank* ****** Type: Boss Infected. Appearance: Huge, muscular. Walks on all fours. Abilities: Claw, Rock Throw. Health: 3000-8000. Anticipate him: When the Tank's theme is heard, when there are hardly any Common Infected around. Sounds Emitted: Deep grunts and snarls. Hulking shouts. The Tank is one of the two Boss Infected, and he's very powerful! Along with being able to knock away Survivors with his fists, he can also throw Rocks at far away Survivors. The Tank can also knock cars and other similar objects out of his way, or towards Survivors. To defeat him, the Survivors must concentrate fire on him. ******* *Witch* ******* Type: Boss Infected. Appearance: Female, wears barely any clothing, pale. Abilities: Claw. Health: 500-1000. Anticipate her: When the Witch's theme is heard, when there are hardly any Common Infected around. Sounds Emitted: Cries, growls, shouts, screams. The other Boss Infected. The Witch, unlike most other Infected, is only aggressive when she is startled. She is initially set at one spot, crying. The best way to get past a Witch is to sneak past her. The Witch will get startled by Flashlights, people who get too close to her, or by being shot or lit on fire. If anyone gets too close to her, she'll get more and more angry (listen to her voice to hear how angry she is). If she's left alone long enough, she'll begin to cry again. If the Witch is startled, she'll go after whoever startled her (this will be notified on the HUD immediately). If the Witch manages to reach her startler, the startler will get Incapacitated. Upon startling the Witch (hopefully not on purpose), shoot her! Witches act differently in certain times of the day. During the night, she just sits idly until startled. During the day, she slowly walks and wanders around. ------------------- 2.05 > The Director < ------------------- The Director is a special sort of AI that determines where certain items appear throughout the levels (most importantly, Health Kits and Pain Pills). The Director is known to be easy-going on Easy, but ruthless and sadistic on Expert. The Director also coordinates when the Horde attacks, depending on how the Survivors are doing. The Director also controls the music in the game. The Director can also change the pathways in various levels. They still lead to the same areas though. ---------------------- 2.06 > Weapons & Items < ---------------------- These are the Weapons and items that will be needed in order to escape the dangers of the Infected. Included amongst all of these are the Flashlight and Melee attacks. The Flashlight can be used to see in the dark, and the Melee attack can be used to shove away Infected. Recoil affects every weapon, and firing consistently will increase the amount of recoil, thus decreasing the accuracy of the weapon. Moving around also increases recoil. To decrease recoil, crouch and stay still while firing in controlled bursts. When reloading, the clip goes down to 0, but the capacity will increase by how many bullets there were in the previous clip. In short, this does not waste away any clips, but when reloading, the Survivor must finish reloading in order to fire again. ******************** *Uzi Submachine Gun* ******************** Clip Size: 50. Carrying Capacity: 650. Power per shot: 20. Rate of Fire: Automatic. Range: Medium. Recoil: Medium. Reload Speed: Medium. Type: Primary Weapon (1st Tier). Best paired up with: Any Secondary Weapon. Best used on: Hunters, Smokers, Boomers, Spitters, Jockeys. The Uzi is a very balanced Weapon. It's pratically useful against most Infected, and is effective at any range. It runs out of ammo quickly though. ******************************** *MAC-10 Silenced Submachine Gun* ******************************** Clip Size: 50. Carrying Capacity: 650. Power per shot: 25. Rate of Fire: Automatic. Range: Medium. Recoil: Medium. Reload Speed: Medium. Type: Primary Weapon (1st Tier). Best paired up with: Any Secondary Weapon.

Range: Short. Recoil: Low. Reload Speed: Fast to Slow. Type: Primary Weapon (1st Tier). Best paired up with: P220 & Glock, Magnum .50. Best used on: Hunters, Boomers, Witches, Chargers. The Pump Shotgun, much like all other Shotguns in various games, is deadly up close, but weak at long range. The Pump Shotgun is effective at slaying Hordes up close, and can also be used to kill off Hunters after knocking them back. Shotguns, including the Pump Shotgun, are capable of killing the Witch in one hit (see Tips Against Infected). ************************** *Remington Chrome Shotgun* ************************** Clip Size: 8. Carrying Capacity: 56. Power per shot: 25-248. Rate of Fire: Pump. Range: Medium. Recoil: Low. Reload Speed: Fast to Slow. Type: Primary Weapon (1st Tier).

Shotguns, including the Chrome Shotgun, are capable of killing the Witch in one hit (see Tips Against Infected). ********************* *Ruger Hunting Rifle* ********************* Clip Size: 15. Carrying Capacity: 150. Power per shot: 90. Rate of Fire: Semi. Range: Long. Recoil: High. Reload Speed: Slow. Type: Primary Weapon (1st Tier). Best paired up with: Melee Weapons. Best used on: Smokers, Boomers, Tanks, Spitters. The Hunting Rifle is a powerful sniper rifle, making it very dangerous against Smokers and Tanks (in fact, it's good against all special Infected). It's also good for getting headshots. Contrary to popular belief, it's not capable of killing Witches in one hit (but it does good damage against the Witch nonetheless). The Hunting Rifle is extremely inaccurate when on the move, but any shot fired when standing still is a guaranteed hit. It is also capable of killing Common Infected in a single hit. Its bullets can also penetrate through multiple Common Infected. ******************* *M16 Assault Rifle* ******************* Clip Size: 50. Carrying Capacity: 360. Power per shot: 33. Rate of Fire: Automatic. Range: Medium. Recoil: Medium. Reload Speed: Medium. Type: Primary Weapon (2nd Tier). Best paired up with: Any Secondary Weapon. Best used on: Hunters, Smokers, Boomers, Spitters, Jockeys. The Assault Rifle a straight upgrade from the Submachine Gun in almost every category (except Ammunition).

Just be sure not to run out of ammo! ********************* *AK-47 Assault Rifle* ********************* Clip Size: 40. Carrying Capacity: 360. Power per shot: 58. Rate of Fire: Automatic. Range: Long. Recoil: High. Reload Speed: Medium. Type: Primary Weapon (2nd Tier). Best paired up with: Any Secondary Weapon. Best used on: Hunters, Smokers, Boomers, Spitters, Jockeys.

Rate of Fire: Burst. Range: Long. Recoil: Low. Reload Speed: Long. Type: Primary Weapon (2nd Tier). Best paired up with: Any Secondary Weapon. Best used on: Hunters, Smokers, Boomers, Spitters, Jockeys. The Combat Rifle fires in bursts of 3 shots, although it's not necessary to keep pressing the trigger to keep firing. Like the AK-47, it's more effective at longer ranges, although it doesn't get as affected by accuracy as much. It takes quite a while to reload. ********************* *M4 Tactical Shotgun* ********************* Clip Size: 10. Carrying Capacity: 90. Power per shot: 30-253. Rate of Fire: Semi. Range: Short. Recoil: Medium. Reload Speed: Fast to Slow. Type: Primary Weapon (2nd Tier). Best paired up with: P220 & Glock, Magnum .50. Best used on: Hunters, Boomers, Witches, Tanks, Chargers. Like the Assault Rifle, the Auto Shotgun is a straight upgrade from the Pump and Chrome Shotguns. Not only does it have two extra shells in its clip, but it can fire must faster!

Carrying Capacity: 180. Power per shot: 90. Rate of Fire: Semi. Range: Long. Recoil: High. Reload Speed: Very Slow. Type: Primary Weapon (2nd Tier). Best paired up with: Melee Weapons. Best used on: Smokers, Boomers, Tanks, Spitters. The G3 is superior to the Ruger Rifle in almost every way. It's insanely deadly against almost any Infected at long ranges. It's also respectably accurate when on the move too. ********************** *M79 Grenade Launcher* ********************** Clip Size: 1. Carrying Capacity: 30. Power per shot: 400. Rate of Fire: Single. Range: Long. Recoil: N/A. Reload Speed: Slow. Type: Primary Weapon (Special Tier). Best paired up with: Any Secondary Weapon. Best used on: Hordes, Tanks, Chargers.
