You guys really liked that Realism Vs mode in Left 4 Dead 2, huh? Lucky for you, Valve's Left 4 Dead Blog passes along word that it's been made into a permanent game type. Valve reports the final results of the in-game poll show 68 percent of those voting wanted it to be permanent, while only 21 percent of those voting didn't want it hanging around -- the final 11 percent really had no opinion. Apathy doesn't help kill zombies, people.
And because it's past Thursday, there's now a new Mutation to enjoy: Follow the Liter. In this Scavenger variant, the gas spawning is limited to a solitary can in one location known to both the Survivors and the Infected. Sounds like Mad Max -- you know, but with zombies.
The Left 4 Dead Blog offers more details and teases us with next week's Mutation title: Last Gnome on Earth. You think that's a The World of David the Gnome reference?

Ah, I was wondering what the update was. Haven't been playing the game much in the last week.

I do plan to get back into lfd2 and check out the passing.. I've just been way into TF2 and now modern warfare 2 because its the free weekend, and i have kept all my rank and unlocks from the previous weekend. Simply cannot be ignored.

They are rotating the mutations every week. So that one will be coming up.

If we're talking about real mutations here, I think that I, THE Heavy, should be able to part in this zombie killing video game.
Along with three of my other companions of course.

That would be sooo awesome. Bring all the characters from TF2 and put them in L4D2 with their moves and stuff... I would totally be a spy disguised as a boomer the whole time lol.

I hate how most of the mutations are for Campaign mode. Even worse, there were some planned that are only usable in Single-Player. I hate to be this guy, but is it really worth designing a game mode for Left 4 Dead that only allows one player?
I love this game, but I have to say that I'm quite disappointed in what I've heard of the mutations so far.

The three mutations so far have been for versus, online campaign, and scavenge.

They're not mostly for campaign mode. Shit, we don't even know what half of them are yet. So far there have been variations on Versus, Scavenge and Campaign. In other words, stop bitching.
