Left 4 Dead Screenshots Illuminate Airport Campaign

Publisher Electronic Arts today released probably the best batch of screenshots I've seen from Valve's multiplayer zombie shooter Left 4 Dead (PC, 360).

Sure, much the game is played in dark hallways and pitch-black cornfields, and those are some great levels--but they don't always translate well to picture form. These shots taken from the Dead Air levels--the campaign set in and around an airport--provide a nice contrast to earlier media.

You can see--and play--Left 4 Dead in moving form on November 18, with pre-order customers getting their hands on the demo November 6.

Gfx look terrible. You can see classic HL2 fire effects in that first shot. Yikes!

This is the first batch of screenshots where I've really noticed the "survivors = saturated, zombies = unsaturated" style. Before, they said they'd done it, but it seemed much more subtle.

    Agreed. Seems like there are lot of little touches like that in the game, which is very encouraging. : carbontree

I've been following this game not only because it's Valve and the concept is cool, but also because I have a fairly good chance of being able to run this and get a reasonable framerate. I think I spent a total of 1 second thinking about Crysis and Far Cry 2.
