The time has come to once again dust off that shotgun, ready that rifle, and prepare your... pitch fork? Really?
That's right, it's a return to Left 4 Dead 2!
With the recent 'The Last Stand' update (see details here) I thought the UFP should revisit this modern classic and pit ourselves against the new campaign.
For those unaware, Left 4 Dead 2 is a 4 player co-op, zombie filled, first person shooter. You and your comrades have to fight your way through multiple 'stages' of a level, moving from safe room to safe room. On your way you'll battle through waves of 'infected'. People who used to be your neighbours, friends, colleagues. Some of these infected have taken on special mutations, however, and pose a more unique risk. Remember Steve, that guy who spent his office breaks puffing away like a steam engine? Well now you'll learn to listen for his coughs from the shadows for fear of being grabbed by his enormous tongue (yeah, I don't really get the connection between smoking and a giant tongue either, just roll with it). Or maybe Tracey, that new hire from accounting that you once heard crying in the bathroom? Well now she's known as a fearsome 'witch' and that crying will bring terror right to your soul.
Anyway, it's good fun.
If we have more than 4 players then we can either split off into separate groups of survivors and race to see who can complete the campaign first, or even have one team take on the roles of the 'infected' in some PvP action.
