Valve details Left 4 Dead 2's Dark Carnival - media
(hx) 03:52 PM CEST - Sep,05 2009
Valve has officially released the new screenshots for the 'Dark Carnival' campaign from Left 4 Dead 2. Packing '20-plus new items' (including an electric
guitar and machete) and five new campaigns, Left 4 Dead 2 hits PC and Xbox 360 on November 17.
After debuting "The Parish" campaign (set in the New Orleans' French Quarter) at E3 and "Swamp Fever" at Comic Con San Diego, Dark Carnival is the third of
the five campaigns shipping with L4D2 this fall.
Valve is also unveiling a new Boss infected monster coming in the full version of Left 4 Dead 2. Known as "The Jockey" this is the third new Boss infected from L4D2 revealed thus far (the Charger was revealed at E3, The Spitter at Comic Con). The Jockey lets you attack lone Survivors and wrestle control of their movement away from them-into fire, off ledges, or straight into the middle of a zombie horde.
In addition to the new campaign and boss monster the PAX showing of L4D2 marks the debut of the "Zombie Clown," the "uncommon common" exclusive to the Dark Carnival campaign, and a few more of the 20-plus new items coming in the full product (electric guitar, machete, and the American baseball bat being offered as a pre-sell exclusive with select retailers).

It's funny how the black guy's upper arms are so skinny and the white dude has bigger arms.

only 5 campaigns seems disappointing again... if they really wanted to actually get all those who didn't bother buying the original l4d they would have added better value to this expansion.. like include the previous campaigns when some updates.. perhaps they are hoping the mapping community will do the rest of the work this time around.
I wonder if its less of a consolized pos that it was on the first release what it its shitty match making instead of just a proper pc server browser properly built in.. and numerous other flaws.
perhaps it might be worth waiting for l4d3 that will be out next year right
