X10: Our first look at Left 4 Dead 2's 'The Passing' DLC photo

One of the many things that I found delightful about Left 4 Dead 2 was its use of daytime levels. It's not something you see done frequently when it comes to zombies, videogames or otherwise.

That said, seeing these dark and damp screenshots of the upcoming add-on "The Passing" has me excited for the return to form -- including the appearance of our friends from the original Left 4 Dead. As for the new poster, I dig it ... I think?

The characters look kind of off, but otherwise I'm all for it. Also, we've cropped out the fantastic name of the shop behind the survivors. Make sure to seek it out in the gallery!

Not exactly OH MY GOD but it looks good. Left 4 Dead 2 often lacks the intense mood of the original but this level might get to that again.

Just read Jonathan's Tweet about the Fallen Survivor infected. Sweet!

eugh... I really hope that poster is just placeholder art. It seems really unpolished. No tag line, and all of the faces look like they were really quickly photoshopped in.
BUT WHATS THAT UNCOMMON COMMON? HE HAS A HEALTHPACK AND A MOLOTOV. AWESOME.

@DanHaas

He's the guy from the weapons store in the first act. His model was cut from the game, but can be put back in via the console. Or, in this case, via DLC.

Does anyone know if this is going to be a short-ass 2 chapter job like crash course or a full 4-5 chapter campaign?
I really hope it is the latter

That poster is probably a mockup. The text at the bottom is the exact same as Hard Rain's info, and the old survivor poses are from what look's like Dead Air's poster.

I'm assuming the new Uncommon Common is going to be the infected survivor that was cut from the game before it's release. Apparently when you shoot them you get the same effect as throwing a molotov, which is pretty awesome considering how easily it can go from useful to incredibly bad depending on where they are when you shoot them.

The new light machine gun looks sweet. Now we just have to figure out what the new special infected is going to be. And whether it'll be open to the other campaigns or just the campaign/s that's contained in "the passing" DLC.

@ Alien Fanatic

Though the campaign poster does look like a mockup, the left 4 dead 2 survivors are new because the way Nick is holding his rifle is not on any of the current posters.

BTW the infected wedding is incredibly creepy.

These zombies are rather well dressed aren't they?

Shirts all tucked in. Spotless white shirts. Double Windsor Knots?

Fucking impeccable style.

wow, coach's head looks screwed up. I mean seriously, it looks like he got decapitated and then his head got sewn back on by francis or something.
