Maybe it's just me, but talking about Left 4 Dead 2 in the same way you would a fighting game is ridiculously fun. It allows me to say things like "bulletproof zombies, confirmed!" and oddly enough I get a kick out of it saying such silly things.
Valve has been showing the game off at Comic-Con, and Kotaku had the opportunity to check out a new type of uncommon infected, bulletproof zombies. The kevlar-wearing infected are only vulnerable in one spot, their backs, but they can be stunned from a melee attack. Also, they're dressed in full riot gear. Pics, please!
Each new piece of information on the game, no matter how small it is, has been slowly converting me to the cause. I can honestly say I'm still not terribly excited for Left 4 Dead 2, but if Valve keeps up the steady flow of new details, I will be by the time November rolls around.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Still, Left 4 Dead is a game that, if you place the words in the title of a blog or article, I will read said article. So all is good in the world.
Also, has anyone called dibs on Nick The Gambler? Because I just did.
Yeah, just seems a bit cheap there.
"but they can be stunned from a melee attack.".
Seems balanced to me. Now all we need is a Melee stun vulnerable Infected and we'll the gameplay should get much more interesting.
I can't fucking wait.
P.S.
I call dibs on Coach :)
Each "new" thing I hear on Left 4 Dead 2 just reminds me how desperately Valve is trying to convince players that this game is somehow more than a slight modification.
And yes, I consider the daytime a step backward. So don't give me this "new campaign" garbage.
Thats right I just Double Dibbed
The melee weapons also seem a bit clunky to me.
Especially at Etalyx for trying to say that it's not being realistic enough because you can't headshot a zombie wearing a riot helmet hahah. Seriously man, that's pathetic, find something useful to criticize.
"You're not going to be able to manoeuvre into position to shoot them in their backs if you're already pinned by a crowd."
Good. Hopefully this will stop lame fuckers corner camping every time a horde arrives; it requires at least 1 of your team to be in a position opposite to you, it's good design.
I know I'll be getting this game and enjoying all of the new shit it has to offer, just as I know every person complaining about it will end up buying it too.
Oh wait, you're wrong.
