Title: Left 4 Dead 2's Dark Carnival Details and Screens
Post by: Silver Knight on 04-09-2009
Eurogamer managed to get the first hands-on impressions of the Left 4 Dead 2 campaign, Dark Carnival.  If Infected clowns roaming around in an abandoned carnival really gets your engine revving, you're going to love this.

There's a new uncommon common infected to fight - you may remember the hazmat-wearing CEDA infected and riot police with Kevlar from previous reveals - dressed as a clown, who calls other infected over to him. At this stage there's also an Achievement for honking his nose, although these are subject to change.

Valve said that some of the parlor games at the carnival will actually work in the final version, and drew our attention to quirky touches like the peanut man cutouts (he has a nutty nemesis - moustachio) before we hit the climactic point of the two-stage Dark Carnival demo: the merry-go-round crescendo moment.

Waving our katanas, axes and the new electric guitar melee weapons around happily, we set this off, and discovered the goal was to run around it to reach the off switch and stem the growing (and indeed infinite) tide of infected that attack you as you try to do so. Again, the director felt the need to help out by depositing a Witch in our path. Whacking her with the guitar was an error.

A cliffhanger ending in a news post?  You better believe I went there!  The rest of the article, including all new details never before seen on Dark Carnival and Left 4 Dead 2, can be found over at Eurogamer (http://"http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/left-4-dead-2s-dark-carnival-unveiled").  More information will surely arrive as the Penny-Arcade Expo (PAX) rolls around later this week.

There sure are a lot of people that are disappointed with this game coming out, but I beg to differ. Just like L4D 1, I believe they've done a wonderful job with the second one.
