E3 ‘09 Left 4 Dead 2 announced!

Left 4 Dead 2 was shown off at Microsoft’s Press Conference, the video was only a trailer but the game is available to play at the show floor. The game this time takes place in the American south, Louisiana to be exact. The game’s new feature will be melee weapons, an aspect that wasn’t in the original. Where the original title had you just hit the undead with your gun, the squeal will allow players to wield chainsaws, bats, frying pans and a many other weapons. Interestingly enough the game also takes place during the daytime, the original took place completely at night. Value has mentioned the game will have a “deeper” level of cooperative gameplay, stay tuned as we learn more.
