Quantcast



Would you like more Left 4 Dead 2 video hotness? Of course you would! Valve's undead-pummeling co-op shooter is out this month and the studio is putting that $25 million advertising budget to good use. This is the latest TV spot for the game, and as you can see, it looks incredible.

This is looking like it'll be Valve's biggest game ever, and I have to say that there are few studios out there that deserve it more. I'm really glad this series has become a mainstream hit, even if there are those willing to resist Valve's success. It's out on November 17 and there are very few of us at Dtoid HQ that can wait.

Left 4 Dead 2 comes out November 17th. My birthday is November 17th.

Coincidence? I think not.

Wait...they used Clutch for a commercial spot?

If I didn't already have it pre-ordered, I'd be running out now to do so. Just because they used Clutch music.

I love you Valve.

Hot, even though it's all footage from the opening sequence that we've already seen.

They are indeed going to need more zombies. 10 million would only be enough for 186 people to get the Zombie Genocidist achievement in L4D1.

That's crazy when you think about it. Anyone want to guess home many zombies have been killed collectively by all L4D players? Tens of billions?

This commercial was great. It really has a much more 'fun' tone than the other commercials and represents the games a bit better in my opinion.

Not even a second after I watch this it plays on the T.V. I seriously can't wait for this game to release already.

The "Meet the team" movies, and now these L4D trailers... seriously, Valve should be doing videogame movies.

Dear Christ, are they going to make an achievement for 10 million kills?

Haha, GREAT song choice!

I wish I had the money for this to be a day one purchase. I hope people are still playing this a year from now!

I don't really like this one as much because there isn't any rousing narration over the title card.

Sigh. Yeah, well, enjoy it.

After trying out the crippled demo we've got here in Australia, I'm waiting to see if we can just import a full copy - or whether it'll be automatically patched and crippled no matter where we get it.
