IGN has posted a new preview of Left 4 Dead 2, and in it they've talked a little about the new game mode that is coming in the much anticipated sequel, Scavenger mode. Scavenger mode is meant to be a shorter game experience compared to Versus mode, but not nearly as short as Survival mode.
Scavenger mode will have maps made up of small sections from L4D2's campaigns. At launch there will be 6 total maps to choose from. The point of the mode is for the survivor team to gather gas cans that are spread around the level and take them back to a generator that is the focal point of each map. Each game has a countdown timer that starts at 1 min 20 seconds, each gathered gas can adds 20 more seconds to the timer. To me it sounds kind of like a mixture of Versus mode, Survival mode, and Capture the Flag. The game lasts six total rounds (3 rounds for each team to play survivor), whichever team has the highest score (total survival time) of all 3 rounds added together wins.
Sounds like an interesting mechanic, we'll see if it ends up being more popular than the arguably dissapointing Survival mode is with the hardcore players.
Remember, the Left 4 Dead 2 demo launches on October 27th for users that pre-ordered. And L4D2 launches on November 17th.
