Well, mostly.
As we usually do when something Left 4 Dead-related releases, we've all the writing on the walls in the just-released Left 4 Dead 2 demo for you to look at/read. Unlike the previous games, the survivors here seem to be a lot more concerned with their own safety, and less with making fun of other people. Apparently these guys actually care about the infection and surviving! Losers.
There's still a small amount of sass, but unfortunately there's no epically bad poems or internet memes. We do hear a rumor though that people can carry the disease without becoming infected (yet). Are all the protagonists of the Left 4 Dead games carriers, or are they just flat out immune? There doesn't seem to be a consensus on how immunity/being a carrier works on the wall.
As much as I love them, I think I would wet myself if the finale for the final campaign of the sure-to-come Left 4 Dead 3 was you fighting a finally-infected Zoey, Louis, Bill, and Francis.
If you don't have the demo yet, hit the jump for a full transcript of the wall writing, and check out the pics in the gallery.
"I've been here a week and they're shipping out people who JUST got here"
"Those are carriers"
"Good riddance"
"The only good carrier is a DEAD carrier"

"Why are they separating everyone"
"Some people are carriers"
"They're immune but they can spread the infection"
"Who told you that?"
"That's BS"

"Go to the PARK. Army's evacing everybody out"
"Thank God"

"God I hate zombies"
"REALLY?"
"Way to step away from the pack"
"LOL what a moron"
"I love zombies"
"I want to take zombies out on a date"
"Would someone please hide the pens?"
"They're immune but they can spread the infection"
this sounds interesting.....
Hahaha!
If so, it should include "I hate sombies and this job."
Followed by a drawing of a penis, obviously.
I really wish there was an option to use the original 4 in L4D2.
I'll get it anyways, though. Because you're not allowed to not like L4D2 on Dtoid.
The gameplay is great and the game seems to have made everything mediocre about the first game awesome in this one. Just not the characters, I've listened to them many many times already and I just don't care for them at all unlike the original 4 who were just so personable and likable.
