PAX 09: Left 4 Dead 2 playable at PAX photo

Valve is bringing Left 4 Dead 2 to PAX this year where they will debut the new level, Dark Carnival. Dark Carnival takes place in what used to be a carnival so expect to see some of the infected type with clown makeup on, as evidence by the new screenshot we have in the gallery. Zombies are bad enough, but zombie clowns?! Thanks for adding more fuel to my nightmares, Valve.

Valve will also be unveiling a few more of the 20-plus new items coming to Left 4 Dead 2. So who's planning on rushing the Valve booth like a zombie rushing for fresh human meat? 

For more on Left 4 Dead 2, be sure to check out our previews on Crash Course, Swamp Fever and The Parish.

20+ new items? Nice.

I'm willing to bet they're just more melee weapons. Maybe with some perks to them too.

I still haven't played the first game yet. I'd better get my rear in gear.

As soon as I get into PAX: First Diablo 3, then StarCraft 2, then L4D2!

MAN, not only will I get to meet up with dozens of the Dtoid Army, I'll get to play games too! PAX is great.

@Holyetheline: Yes, it is. Or was, when multiple other games had done it, as well as most of L4D's other decent ideas.

Negativity aside, will we be seeing this in the FNF contests later on?

I will only play this if I can get in early and beat the lines.

Being an Enforcer at PAX and also hating zombies, I see this as more of a security nightmare than a video game.

What dex said, last year the lines for L4D were insane, i never knew if they were playing just a map, a whole campaign, till the survivors died or what, but people played that a long time


PS: PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAX

Amazing.

I mean, this should be a contender for GoTY again. Can't wait to see this new Campaign in action, and to all those who get to play it, you are lucky bastards.
