Strangely, the only words that caught my eyes were the Katana and Electric Guitar.

Electric guitar will be destructable I imagine. Whereas the others are more durable. Fireaxe, chainsaw and the katana are my favorites so far.

Yay for crowbars!

[Chyros]

Long live crowbars, chainsaws and katanas are so hopelessly cliche .

Yeah but chainsaws are so fun. Its a nice homage to HL though.

It looks like they got rid of pistols though... that sucks ass.

I was under the impression you could either have melee weapons, or pistols.

[Hobbesy]

They didn't remove the pistols. You have to drop your melee weapon to use them.

This has to be one of the funniest pieces of L4D2 Boycott news I've ever read

I LOLED so hard after reading those messages xD

Gabe might melt from the heat over here.

Thats awesome. I also read some of the steam group responses to the staff saying that L4D2 was going to be good. God people are fucking dumb

This news is very disappointing, I thought this boycott group was not about L4D2 quality but never-delivered promised L4D1 free updates, and the reasons for keeping them for L4D2. No matter how good or bad is L4D2, there's still no new content for my L4D1 copy. WT just fell back in its Valve fanboyism.

So err, crash course isn't free content then? Honestly I want to slap ignorant tards such as the above. Its ridiculous, people now seem to expect free DLC content for everything. Most developers won't use "Free" and "DLC" in the same sentence, indeed most DLC is very overpriced. If they want new campaigns so bad, download some of the better ones from the L4D community sites, there are about 5 with valve quality. / end rant.

It has been reported that the upcoming sequel to popular zombie shooter Left 4 Dead, has been refused classification in Australia, due to the amount of ‘violence’ it contains.

As reported from VG247, the OFLC (Office of Film and Literature Classification) have explained that it is the ‘use of melee’ weapons in the game, that feature the most violence as players are able to perform decapitations and limb dismemberment.

So filling up zombie with bulets is ok as well as tearing humans to shreds as a zombie but using something like an axe isn't? Also, have Prototype and Fallout 3 been rated, because they both feature massive dismemberment techniques.

...and FO3 even does it in sloooooow motion, which makes it even worse/funny

[TehKiller]

ever heard the word "Censored"?

[Ion Cannon!]

Is Australia becoming the new Germany?

[RaiDK]

It's a joke. Fallout 3 got an MA15+ rating after morphene was renamed, Prototype got MA15+ without any changes needing to be made.

[BeefJeRKy]

Silly Australian lawmakers and their censorship humor.

It's really the other way around. Australia has been far worse on games lately from what I understand.

Wrong. Germany censors games heavily (some before even they are released) while Australia does only minor censorship. However from what I see they sometimes tend to ban a game without censorship at all

[CJ]

I'm wondering why they censor games anyways, are Zombie movies censored as well ? I'm pretty sure they're not so it just doesn't make any sense...

Also, if you buy a game like L4D, you know what's inside it therefore they should just put a "mature" ESRB rating instead of banning the game

They're not.

[Wizard]

Gonna hazard a guess and say that the difference is the engagement of the person in the [virtual]act and just sitting their watching something scripted. Somehow even though both are not RL it quite obviously concerns some people.

[CJ]

The trailer has been released, now this game is definitely on my purchase list

[General]

I hope they not turn this out into Dead Rising like shit, L4D is serious looking yet funny, not just funny like Dead Rising and I want to see it stay as it is
