The survivors in the South seem to be a lot more serious photo

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"

"Finally some firepower"

"I've never been so happy to see a jet in my life"

"CEDA blows"

"Greg - Gone park evac - KP"

**************

"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?"

What is this from the men's bathrooms in these games?

If so, it should include "I hate sombies and this job."

Followed by a drawing of a penis, obviously.

Those zombies are more serious too. They are a lot tougher to kill this time around.

You're definitely moist most of the time, so it wouldn't be surprising you wet yourself.

That would be urine-worthy, yes.

Infected Zoey, Luis, Francis and Bill? No thank you. How about Luis appears whenever you're grabbin' pills.

Haha, I love these. It's only a small detail, but it adds so much personality to the game.

It's symptomatic of the general populace's collective psyche breaking down in the face of this crisis. To me it looks like the official response isn't working.

What Xzyliac said, easily the best part. The serious wall writing isn't as entertaining.

Infected versions of the characters from the first game? How about no, I actually really liked all of them compared to the new boring characters.

I really wish there was an option to use the original 4 in L4D2.

I have to agree with kefkaesque. One of the biggest reasons I feel burned by L4D2 is because I liked the original four so much.

I'll get it anyways, though. Because you're not allowed to not like L4D2 on Dtoid.

Oh don't get me wrong, I love L4D2 now that I've played the demo (three times already)

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.
