EA and Valve decided to show more of Left 4 Dead 2 at PAX so here are some new images of the game. It will be playable for those who will be in Seattle and people will get a chance to try the Dark Carnival campaign, featuring a new boss: the Jockey. The game will be released on November 17 on PC and Xbox 360.

I really hope they add AA to the game this time
Oh no, don't say that was the dreaded Sarcasm™. That's gotten you into trouble before. :P
I'm excited for this.
i'll be willing to give this a go (rental, just like the first), but it needs to offer more of everything to get me even remotely interested. if it's another short , repetative experience i dont think i'm even going to bother. they need to improve this series since there are plenty of elements that need fixing/ updating from the first one, but seeing footage of this it just looks like a reskin, almost as if some modder decided to play around with the UV maps a bit.
now if this game had a more open nature to it's objectives (or how about some actual objectives...PERIOD) then i'd be all for it, and it would genuinely offer some replayability, intead of being forced down a narrow corridoor or sewer, i'd like some freedom. if i want to take the fight through the streeet then let me, if i want to take it through the sewers, then let me, if i want to take it to the rooftops, then let me, if any game needed an open approach to it's levels, this is it. i dont expect a GTA style open world. but i expect more then just a narrow corridoor that i'm slowly being forced down.
As for HL2:EP 3 as someone else said, I was going mental about Valve being so lazy about this a while ago. Exactly where the fuck is that game, and what is taking them so long? I heard a report on it that it should be here sometime late this year, or very early in the new year. I'm not holding my breath on it, and in fact, Valve made a massive mistake in ever thinking that episodic content was the way to go. Quicker and better for the consumer they said. What a complete load of bollocks, Gabe! You could have been spending that time developing a new engine for Half Life 3!

The clown can attract zombies and make a horde because he has squeaky shoes on. Made me laugh the first time I read that.
Also, I like the way they make their tech accessible to all. I mean, most of the half-life games could run on very low-spec machines (even the XBOX1!) and still look really good.
Can't wait!

Basil Exposition: What's the other thing that scares you?
Austin Powers: Carnies. Circus folk. Nomads, you know. Smell like cabbage. Small hands.
Shoot the lot.
