My Take Radio

As con­firmed by IGN.com, Valve’s upcom­ing sequel to the award-winning zom­bie apoc­a­lypse romp “Left 4 Dead” (or L4D), appro­pri­ately titled “Left 4 Dead 2″ (or L4D2) will offer play­ers schwag for their avatars. It seems that the info was dis­cov­ered within the cod­ing for the demo of L4D2 and when ques­tioned about it, Valve was happy to con­firm that avatar awards will be avail­able upon the release of the sequel on Novem­ber 17, 2009 (sorry Europe, 11/20/09 for you). Con­sid­er­ing that the info was found in a demo ver­sion of the game, the cur­rent list of awards may not be complete-even if it is, we can hope for stuff to be added later, right? Here is the cur­rent list of what will be avail­able when L4D2 ships:

• Med Kit — “earned by beat­ing all five campaigns”
• Bull Shifters Shirt — “earned by win­ning 10 games of Versus”
• Left 4 Dead 2 Shirt — “earned by win­ning 10 games of Scavenge”
• Zom­bie Hand shirt — “earned by killing 10,000 Infected”
• Depeche Mode Shirt — “earned by res­cu­ing Gnome Chomp­ski from the Dark Carnival”

Valve did not seem to want to talk about more than this, so one can be pretty hope­ful that there is indeed more con­tent on the way.
