VALVE ANNOUNCES L4D2 SCAVENGE MODE

Left 4 Dead 2's Fourth Game Mode Revealed


Oct 8, 2009 - Valve, creator of best-selling game franchises (such as Half-Life and Counter-Strike) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced Scavenge, the fourth game mode to be included in its upcoming zombie thriller, Left 4 Dead 2.


Scavenge mode challenges players to compete in round-based games of up to 8 players (Survivors vs. Infected). The Survivors must battle both the Infected and the clock as they collect gas cans to refuel a generator located in each map. Every can the Survivors pour into the generator scores their team a point and adds time to the clock.


On defense, the Infected team plays as the boss Infected (including the new Spitter, Jockey, and Charger). They must keep the Survivors from fueling the generator by attacking them, destroying the gas cans, or running out the clock. During a round, each team gets an opportunity to play both sides, with the round going to whichever team successfully delivers the most cans.



Just like a Charger waiting to pounce, November 17th, 2009 is just around the corner... are you ready... or not?

P.S. Aussie L4D2 fans... I saw some innnnnteresting news about the game for you folks on another site, but just to be 100% sure I'll post more after Valve makes an official announcement... stay tuned!
