Into the dead 2 ign review
Reminiscent of Bungie's special playlists for Halo 3, Mutations are weekly game types that feature particular quirks and changes to match settings, available for all campaigns. Not+everyone+is+cut+out+to+be+a+survivor.+ Mutations are The Passing's final gameplay addition. There are also several new achievements for both Steam and 360 versions of the game. These poor slobs carry weapons and equipment from their cut-short stints as zombie killers (which you can pick up once they're downed). A new uncommon Infected makes an appearance, the oh-so-appropriate Fallen Survivor. There's a campaign-specific gun (the M60, which is ridiculously powerful but can't be reloaded, making it suitable in very particular areas), and a new melee weapon, the golf club. Length notwithstanding, The Passing is on par with the other Left 4 Dead 2 campaigns.

However, for multiplayer fans, The Passing is a godsend for times when you don't have a spare hour and a half to play a full match. Some players will no doubt complain about its length at three missions - rather than the customary five missions per campaign of the retail release - and a single playthrough will probably take you between 30 and 45 minutes once you know your way around. Where Left 4 Dead's Crash Course DLC stumbled in retaining the feel and relevance of the main game, The Passing successfully fits in well with Left 4 Dead 2's retail campaigns, and actually makes the existing content a bit more interesting to boot.įrom a content perspective, The Passing matches the other campaigns, mostly. With the latest downloadable content offering, The Passing, Valve has wisely eschewed the story-light trappings of other downloadable releases, instead creating something easy to pick up and play, but with all of the flavor of the retail release, and some long-awaited fan service with the appearance of the original Left 4 Dead's Survivors. The campaign structure of the Left 4 Dead series is tailor made for easily digestible chunks of content.
