You will play as one of four new survivors armed with a wide and devastating arsenal of classic and upgraded weapons. In addition to firearms, you’ll have the opportunity to engage the Infected up close with a variety of melee weapons, such as chainsaws, axes, and even the deadly frying pan.
You’ll put these weapons to use against three new Infected Horrifying and formidable specials (or as one of them, in Versus mode). You’ll also encounter three unusual Infected, including the nasty Mud Men.
To take L4D2’s fast-paced, action-packed gameplay to the next level, we’re introducing version 2.0 of the Director AI. This improved director can change the weather or the route you will take, as well as adjust the enemy population, effects and sounds according to your performance. L4D2 promises a rewarding and challenging experience every time you play, to suit your style.
- Next-gen co-op action from the creators of Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress and Counter-Strike.

- Director AI 2.0: A set of advanced technologies, called Director AI, were responsible for the basis of L4D’s unique gameplay — customizing the enemy population, effects and soundtrack according to players’ performance. L4D2 features AI Director 2.0, which expands the director to customize the arrangement of levels, objects, weather and lighting in the world to reflect different times of day.
- A system of statistics, rankings and rewards promotes collaboration between players.
