Valve Software just can’t seem to keep the lid on these things!  The intro cinematic for Left 4 Dead 2 has leaked on to… *gasp* …the internet. The game is the sequel to Valve’s extremely popular co-op zombie shooter Left 4 Dead.

I think it’s a sneaky way to get publicity, but it works right?  After all, I posted it and you just watched it. You win this round Gabe Newell!

If the innumerable hours I spent playing the original Left 4 Dead are any indication, I’ll be spending quite a bit of time with L4D2 this winter. And if the trailer didn’t whet your appetite for the game, you can expect new characters, new campaigns, new modes, new weapons (chainsaws!), and new zombie types for the sequel.

Left 4 Dead 2 hits the PC and Xbox 360 on November 17th.

Be sure to check out Joel’s Left 4 Dead 2 preview.

    That amazing opener pumps me up more than a stripper with a nail gun riding a dragon made of explosions.

    Thanks for the link, Will!

    Wow. I mean, I know that’ s not the gameplay, but still, that’s pretty outrageous. We’ve come a long way from a two-frame running plumber.

    Looks good, but, dudes, give your praise hoses a pinch.

    Pinch my praise hose, Lucas?

    To be fair Left 4 Dead 2 is not Left 4 Dead. But it is nearly identical to one of my favourite games of the last 5 years! It’s built on the same engine as the original… and basically just has more features/levels. The core gameplay is identical, L4D2 is essentially glorified expansion pack.

    In the interest of objectivity though, I won’t review the game. I will say that based on Valve’s track record and my love of the first game that it’s more than likely that I’ll love the sequel.

    See you on steam, will.
