Other useful items and firearms equally expand gameplay. Melee weapons fit so naturally into L4D2 that you’ll wonder how you ever managed the first game without them. You have not experienced ghoul-gibbing bliss until you’ve been bum rushed by infected and spun in a circle while wielding a chainsaw. Littered across each new setting are brand-new saliva-inducing melee weapons like the katana and frying pan. The tense finale of one campaign has the survivors defending a bandstand stage while utilizing a famous rock band’s pyrotechnics to simultaneously ward off the undead and signal a rescue chopper. Crescendos, such as a mobile fight along rollercoaster tracks, liven up the standard dig-in-your-heels horde defense of the original. Players gleefully hack and blast their way through everywhere from abandoned carnival grounds to The Big Easy itself, with each campaign carrying a distinctly different atmosphere of dread. Left 4 Dead 2 drops four new charismatic zombie-killers in the Deep South, where they endure five uniquely awe-inspiring locales. Four players banding together for survival is still the focus, but the conditions have become far more chaotic. This trek into zombieland boasts more intense combat, finales, crescendos, settings, enemies, and game modes than last year’s title. Left 4 Dead 2 is swollen with action that will leave your controller sweaty and worn, and emerges as one of the most powerful online co-op experiences I have ever had. It’s already too late by the time we realize we’ve startled two Witches… Suddenly, a blood-curdling scream fills the air, followed quickly by another. I align the barrel of my shotgun head-level with the charging crowd and fire every shell into the obscuring vegetation. I stare in dismay as a rotten waterfall of corpses pours over the side of the mill we’re running towards.
With visibility reduced to nothing and the thunder drowning out Coach’s orders, we get separated in the thick crops. Torrential rain hits hard just as we double back through the Witch-infested sugar field.
