L4D2 – Scavenge Mode…
Thursday, October 8th, 2009The guys over at Kotaku have managed to get their grubby mitts on the new game mode in Left 4 Dead 2 – Scavenge! The title of the mode sounds pretty self-explanatory but according to Valve, the main purpose is to provide a “quicker, even more frantic gameplay” than say an already quick and frantic game campaign or versus? Interesting, please go on….
Scavenge is a new multiplayer mode in Left 4 Dead 2’s lineup. It still pits four Survivors against a zombie horde dotted with special class Infected.
Doesn’t sound like anything new, but imma let you finish…
… the catch is that the Survivors have to gather as many of 16 cans of gasoline throughout a map to fill up a generator while the zombies do their best to stop them, kill them or destroy the gas cans. The whole thing is timed and each gas can fed to the generator adds 20 seconds to the clock. The mode plays to three rounds with victory going to whoever got more cans total (and if there’s a tie, it goes to who got the most in the least amount of time).
… Meh! Doesn’t sound fuckin’ eye-exploding great to me, still the rest of the preview is located ‘ere.
Not exactly that bothered about L4D2 to be truthful – I haven’t even bothered to check out the new Crash Course campaign yet. However, it is Thursday and the other half is out watching a stage production of Sweeney Todd so maybe I’ll remove myself from ArmA II & CoD 4 and give it a whirl with some of the other LE members.
Anyone really excited about Left 4 Dead 2? We would love to hear your thoughts in our forums.
