Most of you probably know that Valve Corporation is currently showing off Left 4 Dead 2 at the Comic-Con in California. One of the most interesting announcements was that the zombies will be bulletproof in the sequel. It seems that the enemies are more varied this time – there are several new types of enemies including special Boomer-like bosses, Hazmat-suited fireproof zombies and zombies wearing Kevlars.

All of those new features were showed in the Parish level (that’s the first level everyone seen few weeks ago when Left 4 Dead 2 was just announced) with considerable more aggressive AI director.
Stay tuned for more Left 4 Dead 2 news.

Like the original Left 4 Dead, each level is presented with a movie poster, and this level’s tagline was “This time it all goes South.” It’s a reference to the level’s location in New Orleans, where you fight it out in a suburban setting before crossing a bridge to make it to an escape helicopter…
