Left 4 Dead 2 Continues the struggle of four random strangers as they have to fight off new new types of Special Infected zombies as they fight their way through scores of zombies in search of safety from Georgia to Louisiana which takes place over 5 campaigns, This time you have access to more mêlée weapons and a few more guns and weapon accessories including grenade launchers & laser sights.

This game sees four new characters, some are funny, others less so, but they all bring something new to the game.Left 4 Dead 2 has a bigger and more diverse gaming experience, with better environments, weapons, and special infected to fight your way through.The environments are a huge improvement over Left 4 Dead with levels being played at different times of day and night with added weather such as wind & rain that all helps with the atmosphere of the game, as do the new infected, some of which are in environment suits while others come at you dressed in riot gear.

There are new Special infected as well, there is the comical Jockey who will jump on your head and steer you all over the place, then there is the Charger who will as his name suggests, charge at you, when he has you he will keep pummeling you into the ground, One to watch out for is the Spitter, this infected will spit green acid like fluid at you that will decrease your health, and the witch, yes the witch returns, this time she is more ferocious..!
New Items: Left 4 Dead 2 brings new items such as adrenaline shots that will speed up healing, reviving incapacitated teammates and running, Defibrillator units which can be used to revive dead Survivors or to attack infected with, Incendiary ammo that will set fire to any infected that you shoot at, Grenade rounds, Axes, Guitars, Frying pans, Crow bars, katanas are amongst he new items to be found, while most of the original items such as Molotov’s and pipe bombs remain in the game, they come with the addition of Boomer Bile, This is a little vile of green boomer bile that when thrown will attract infected to it, when using this you will have to still kill them yourself, but it makes for a nice large target to take down, although these only seem like small changes its in multi player that you will notice a bigger difference.Multi player gets new modes, such as scavenge and realism modes, realism mode is kind of like a hardcore mode where there is a lack of the familiar glow around things such as your fellow team mates & pick items such as pipe bombs and weapons, Scavenge mode is Left 4 Deads answer to capture the flag where Survivors have to grab fuel cans that are been scattered around the map, they then use the fuel to fill the tank of a generator or a vehicle while the infected try to prevent that from happening.
There is also an improvement in the on line scoring with bonuses being given if you incapacitate a survivor while playing as an infected, and better balancing of the versus modes scoring. Left 4 Dead 2 will bring you a familiar game play style that has been mixed with new ways items to use and new infected to kill
