Left 4 Dead 2's latest mutation is nothing but swords

The official Left 4 Dead 2 blog has posted the latest mutation to Valve's great zombie apocalypse simulation and it's ... swords. All swords, all the time. Hacking, slashing, slicing, dicing, piercing, thrusting -- you name it, you'll be doing it against the undead horde.

Hard Eight is, according to the L4D wiki...
"Instead of one Special Infected spawning, there may be several. For instance, when a Smoker spawns, he may be accompanied by several more Smokers (Or on a scarier note, one Tank could be flanked by another!) The large group of Special Infected may be considerably weaker than if one alone was to spawn."

I haven't been keeping up with the mutations but this sounds like fun. If I can get my buddies on L4D2 I'll give it a shot.
Also, the Parish bridge run was probably my favorite finale, but I don't think Hard Rain's boat wait was the worst! I'm not sure what it was about it but I quite enjoyed it. I guess if I had to pick, Dead Center's finale would be my least favorite, that entire level was a bit weak compared to the rest.

Nah, the Hard Rain one is def. the best. It's super intense, but I don't think I've ever failed to escape in one or two tries (well, not me personally but my team).

The Desert Eagle has 8 bullets right? It must be "only Desert Eagle on campaigns" mutation.
