The campaign poster for The Parish, the final campaign in the game.

The plot is similar to Left 4 Expressionless. It involves the backwash of the Infection 1 calendar week afterward the events of the previous game, now beingness around three weeks later on the outset Infection.

The story starts around apex in Savannah, Georgia. Every bit the last rescue helicopter leaves the edifice, the 4 unlucky Survivors climb upwardly the hotel to find out that they are simply a couple of seconds too late, watching their chances of escape wing away. With this newfound predicament, the group decide to get to a mall where it is said that another evacuation center is still in functioning. While leaving the hotel, they larn nearly each others' names; Ellis, Charabanc, Rochelle and Nick. They fight their manner through the run-downward streets of Savannah by obtaining equipment at Whitaker'due south Gun Shop, and strike a deal with Whitaker to quickly access the mall, but to find it abandoned and full of Infected. In desperation, they decide to pierce deeper into the building in the hopes that the evacuation center was simply deeper within. It turns out that the centre is decimated and all of the CEDA agents are either dead or infected. In despair, the group enters the mall's atrium and discover a local legend named Jimmy Gibbs Jr.'s stock car. Ellis suddenly comes upwardly with the idea to find gas cans to make full the car'south fuel tank. They manage to detect sufficient gas and escape from Savannah in the auto.

The 4 then arrive at Rayford and notice a raised bridge that they tin can not cantankerous as it has been raised by the original Survivors of Left 4 Dead. Bill sacrifices his life to heighten the bridge, while Louis is wounded by a Witch as the grouping explores Rayford. Either Francis or Zoey see the Survivors and inform them that they tin can non lower the bridge for the group because the generator that is used to lower the bridge is out of fuel and they must tend to one of their own who is wounded. Later on battling through a wedding ceremony with the Witch bride, the streets and a "historical sewer," the Survivors meet upwardly with the other three once more. After the three original Survivors agree to help past defending them from higher ground, the Savannah group is able to fend most of the Infected off, find the gas cans, fill the generator up, cross the lowered bridge and drive off while exchanging farewells as they keep to New Orleans.

The escape car works well until the Survivors arrive at Griffin County and discover a massive pile-upward of the abased vehicles, forcing them to disembark from their car and proceed on foot where they notice that people were stuck in their cars when the Infected came and killed them. When they go below the overpass, they see that the searchlights are even so lit up in the distance. The group make up one's mind to head for the lights as they believe that at that place could be fellow Survivors property out at the park. The lights are revealed to come up from Whispering Oaks Entertainment Park (And the Midnight Riders were going to play there) and the Survivors observe that the park is overrun with Infected. They fight their style through the Infected masses and as they get out the Tunnel of Love, they notice a helicopter flight overhead, apparently trying to search for the Survivors. As they fight their way through, the helicopter returns again and Coach comes up with an idea to utilise the Midnight Riders' equipment in The Peach Pit to start a concert to attract the helicopter airplane pilot'due south attention. This gambit pays off and the Survivors manage to evacuate in the helicopter as the masses of Infected swarm the stadium.

The Survivors of *Left 4 Expressionless 2*. (From left to right: Ellis, Motorbus, Rochelle, and Nick)

But once again, luck is not on their side equally the helicopter pilot becomes infected, prompting Nick to shoot him and crusade the helicopter to crash. The Survivors exit the wrecked helicopter to detect that they have landed in a bayou. They discover a pocket-size village where its inhabitants decided to fend for themselves, simply ultimately failed as they were overrun. They come beyond an alligator farm (Though no alligators are seen) and keep forwards, somewhen discovering the wreckage of a plane. They are forced to activate the plane's emergency exit, unleashing a horde of Infected alerted past the emergency exit's sound, but manage to fend them off and arrive at some other hamlet which appears to exist intact. Unfortunately, they discover that this village was as well overrun, but its survivors had informed any passerby to head to the Plantation House, where they discover a radio. Upon interacting with the radio, they discover another survivor, Virgil and inform him that they are at the plantation house. Virgil recognizes the location and blasts the gate open up afterwards the Survivors fend a horde of Infected off and escape on his boat earlier they could overwhelm them.

As the group makes their way down to New Orleans, Virgil's boat runs low on gas and he sends them on a fuel run to furnish his supply. The Survivors believe that the task would be easy, only realize that they forgot their gun bag which also contains a flare to inform Virgil that they obtained the gas. They discover that the local gas station ran out of gas and are forced to become to the next gas station two miles abroad, passing through an abandoned sugar mill infested with Witches. The weather likewise shows signs that the survivors are headed for the worst, as a storm squall appears and hinder the Survivors' sight. They manage to make their mode back to the nearby Burger Tank where Coach comes up with the idea to use the Burger Tank'southward sign as a substitute for their flares. This gambit is a success as Virgil arrives to pick them up earlier the Survivors are overwhelmed by the Infected.

Virgil sends the the group to New Orleans and the Survivors bid him farewell equally he goes off to expect for more Survivors. Jitney is immediately reinvigorated equally they run into fighter jets in the heaven, every bit he knew that the military had not abased the city still, though Nick was skeptical well-nigh their presence. They determine that the span in the distance is the best take chances of survival and find the corpses of non-infected people on the mode. The survivors correctly deduce that the military machine took over CEDA's pitiful attempts to contain the situation as they find themselves in an area beingness bombed past the military, and quicken their pace to the span. Nick is wary about the war machine equally they might not take the best intentions at heart, simply the others are optimistic that they would exist rescued and interrupt a transmission between the 2 military machine personnel: Papa Gator and Rescue 7. The two learn that the Survivors encountered the Infected and assume that they are Carriers. Papa Gator asks Rescue vii if they are equipped for the Carriers to which he affirms. Papa Gator informs the Survivors that they are lucky as they had just pulled out of the area, and that they have 10 minutes to reach the other side of the bridge to their transport. The Survivors fight through the Infected amassed on the bridge and reach Rescue vii. Every bit Rescue vii leaves, the fighter jets bomb the bridge to prevent the Infected from leaving the city and the pilot takes them out to a war machine prowl ship at sea. ^[three]

The Comprehend and Rating [ ]

The latest cover hand (left), the previous 1 (center), and the oldest known 1 (right).

The cover of the Left 4 Dead ii is almost identical to the original Left 4 Dead cover. The manus was modeled again past a paw model named Andrea Wicklund.

The thought was to create a hand missing some other two fingers along with the famous original missing thumb, resulting in a hand only holding up two fingers, further signifying the number two. The groundwork's colour was as well changed to a lighter shade of green.

Around June 2009, the ESRB told Valve that the new cover is unacceptable and the idea was changed to tucking the two unwanted fingers behind the mitt to achieve the desired outcome, notwithstanding still continue the missing thumb.

The ESRB was asked why they still allowed the new encompass with only the missing thumb, yet not accepting the 2 unwanted fingers and the thumb. The ESRB declined to comment.^[four]

Around July 2009, Valve decided to change the cover one time again, making the 2 tucked-away fingers slightly more visible. The hand drastically changed every bit the background did which is now yellow.

In the Britain, the cover was inverse to show the mitt facing the opposite direction as the two-finger sign towards the viewer is considered an insult. This cover design change does not use with the New Zealand and Australian versions of the game even though the direction of the 2-finger sign applies in those countries as well. In addition, the High german and Japanese version of the embrace features all of the fingers intact as it did with the showtime game due to the same censorship reasons that applied to the get-go game's comprehend.

Australia and Frg censored Left four Expressionless two, removing some features generally to do with violence:

Claret and gore: Virtually no blood is constitute after killing the Infected and is impossible to remove any trunk parts from using weapons on them. Despite this, achievements for dismemberment were still included and can be awarded in the Australian version.
Fire and Explosive Effects: The Infected can no longer exist set up on fire and no damage is visible when hitting with Explosive Ammo or the Pipe Bomb. Infected that the game registers as having been prepare on burn down act in the same way as they would if on fire except that no fire is visible.
Bodies: Subsequently dying, the Infected disappear, frequently before they even hitting the ground.
Infected: The Riot Infected is removed from the game considering it "encourages violence confronting official say-so". In the Australian version, the Riot Infected was eventually put back in with pocket-sized alterations to remove whatsoever connection to the official authorities.

Awards [ ]

Left 4 Dead 2 was featured as one of Game Informer's top 50 games of 2009. Game Informer had this to say:

"Ever wonder how far you could make it through the zombie apocalypse with just a chainsaw and a grenade launcher? Left iv Expressionless 2 has your answer. Everything well-nigh Valve'south sequel to concluding yr'southward intense co-op FPS is amplified, with complimentary gore, tons of melee weapons, intensified finales and even more zombies. If you lot still think that this sequel came likewise soon, then you haven't croaky a clown zombie in the face with a cricket bat while protecting a lawn gnome."

The Drunk Tank Podcast by RoosterTeeth named Left iv Dead 2 the best game of 2009.

Boycott [ ]

Presently after Valve's announcement of Left four Dead 2, many fans were shocked of the thought due to the brusque period of time after the commencement Left iv Expressionless and the fact that the long promised SDK (which is essential to making new levels for Left 4 Expressionless) was beingness held back because of this. Hours subsequently the announcement fans gathered together and formed a group called L4D2 Boycott (NO-L4D2), the group reached x,000 members in one week and 35,000 members in three weeks. The group believed that Left 4 Dead 2 should not be a separate game in order to proceed the community one, challenge that releasing a sequel would split up the community. Their suggestion was to make Left 4 Expressionless 2 either an expansion pack that is not full-priced or complimentary downloadable content, citing a lack of new content and too voicing their preference to proceed the original Survivors and maps. Many fans were also disappointed that Valve had yet to deliver the free DLC that they promised.

Valve informed the fans that they take been tracking their comments ever since the first announcement on June 1, 2009 and their response was that Left 4 Dead will continue to be supported with downloadable content. This announcement caused some fans to believe that Valve saw the fans of Left 4 Dead every bit boycotting the sequel only to get more gratuitous updates and save money. Valve also said that they are discussing the matter and are considering importing the original maps into Left four Dead two; cypher regarding the original Survivors was mentioned.

The boycott was non especially constructive because the pre-order sales of Left 4 Dead 2 quadrupled the pre-society sales of Left 4 Dead. ^[?]

The cold-shoulder has since been officially disbanded equally the founders themselves said that they accept washed what they fix out to do and are at present sympathetic with Valve's piece of work on Left 4 Expressionless 2, but however still maintain that they themselves volition non buy the game. Despite stating this, i should note the irony that on the leader's profiles information technology is noted that they both own and play Left four Dead ii.^[7] ^[8]

As of 2011, Valve has ported all six original campaigns from Left iv Dead to Left four Dead 2, playable with the original survivors. No Mercy and The Sacrifice were ported to the game on Oct five, 2010, while the rest were ported with the addition of Cold Stream on March 22, 2011. The campaigns are most identical to their original versions likewise the addition of melee weapons (which were absent from the original game) and updated character icons.

Notes [ ]

The game takes place in Autumn as seen in a banner in the beginning of the trailer too equally various pieces of graffiti which are dated for early October.
In the trailer, one tin see what appears to exist Marine Corps or Navy F/A-18 Hornets bombing the Infected. The Infected can besides be seen breaking through fenced barriers, implying Valve'southward statement that New Orleans had been relatively rubber from the Infection before the events of Left iv Dead 2.
Valve seems to have reused the baseball bat hit audio from the sound used in Team Fortress two which was too used in Half-Life two. Notwithstanding, they accept practical new, more than accurate wooden sounds for it.
Valve decided not to give the game an elaborate sequel name because the title is so straightforward. Still, the squad considered calling it Dorsum iv More.^[9] ^[?]
Upon seeing the entrada affiche for The Parish with all four Survivors standing together, Game Informer Magazine commented; "Now the Blackness Guy is likewise the Old Guy and the office professional person is wearing a suit instead of a necktie. Yep, they're really mixing information technology up this time around." This statement might be seen every bit contradictory, implying that there are two Louises who became both Bus and Nick, merely is simply commenting on the like lineup of the main characters in relation to the previous game.
As seen in some gameplay videos, the "Dying Animation" of the Hunter and Smoker changed. Instead of flying away when existence shot in the head like in the start Left four Expressionless, they just fall on the basis like whatsoever other Infected. The Charger and Jockey can notwithstanding go flying when killed, depending on how they moved before expiry.
Although the United kingdom's boxart was changed due to censorship issues, the manual and the game avatar keep the original 'manus logo'.
The clues for how all of the game'south campaigns related are less subtle than the ones for the campaigns in the first game which provided little to no obvious signs of how the Survivors ended upward in each campaign with the exception of Crash Course.
Every time that you started Left iv Expressionless 2 upwardly, the loading screen, carte du jour background animation and music will change to match ane of the 5 campaigns.^[10]
Left 4 Dead ii was nominated for "Game of the Year" in the 2009 Spike Video Game Awards. It also won the best Xbox 360 Game.
Left 4 Dead 2 came tertiary in Screwattack's Summit 10 Zombie Games, beaten only past Resident Evil ii and Dead Rising.
Though numerous areas of the game's campaigns appear in the opening scene, their advent and order that they are shown is different. The differences included the Plantation'southward mounted gun beingness on the lower deck rather than the balcony above, the hotel having a room that has a health pack and several guns and the atrium in Dead Heart's mall having many more floors than in the actual game.
