Cricket Bat is New Weapon Reveal for Left 4 Dead 2 - Polidicks

Add a jukebox with Queen and I'll buy it.

Okay. Valve. Trolling. The Ashes. I don't know what to believe. Is this a weapon (I hope so!), or just a tribute to the cricket tournament by those Brits in the Valve offices? (There are a couple, right?) At least they portrayed an English player beating an Aussie. I remember when that used to happen...

Hey guys, the Ashes is on. Are England ready for another beating?

[QUOTE=Hamsterman;15918092]Add a jukebox with Queen and I'll buy it.[/QUOTE] That would be amazing. You run into a bar and then must turn on the dukebox to alert rescue of your position :D

[QUOTE=Shoopiwoop;15919117]Shaun of the dead you little 13 year old :)[/QUOTE] sigh. Did you miss the cap with St. George's cross on it and the zombie with the Australia shirt and cricket helmet?

It may still be a refrence :downs:

Now we just need a Shaun skin and we'll be good

Fucking brilliant homage to Shaun of the Dead.

It should be able to bat zombie's heads off across the map. Actually, the baseball bat should do that too. Infact, every melee weapon should have a special gore effect to make it more unique.

[quote]as i said before ill just wait for L4D3 or 4 don't need another so soon after the first release[/quote] I'll laugh when nothing happens and he buys the game after everyone else has stopped playing it.

They're gonna release news for every single new unveiled weapon now?

Why is everyone saying it's a Shaun of the Dead reference. It has a cricket bat but it clearly has nothing to do with shaun of the dead, it seems like it's just a cricket joke. [editline]02:07AM[/editline] the australian cricket team shirt is green and gold anyway way to go valve

Valve needs to start releasing Pictures of the dark maps for L4D2 so people will stop complaining about the brightness.

Most of the people posting in this thread don't know it's from shawn of the dead. They make me sad. :frown:

[QUOTE=TAU!;15915920]Sounds like a Shaun of The Dead reference. Yay :D[/QUOTE] I was gonna say that, a total rip off shaun of the dead. But while they are at it i hope they add the pub as one of the onslaughts lol :P To the picture above, if someone makes a mod where you play the shaun of the dead cast as the survivors with thier vocies it would be epic lol.

[QUOTE=cyanide101;15915694]What? Cricket isn't played in the United States.[/QUOTE] Look at the picture for god sakes. The zombie getting hit in the face has a shirt with the text "Australia"... Why do people always assume every game has to be played out in America?

Next Up! Zombies now wield guns!

[QUOTE=DragonGenX;15933341]Yeah, used to. We live in the present. Now dance for me you British monkey, [b]DANCE FOR YOUR CRICKET MASTERS![/b][/QUOTE] I know my place :( So I won't make a sterotype based joke about shrimp and barbeques or hats with corks hanging from them :D Back ontopic: Nobody has metioned that 4 weapons (one for each has survivor) has been released, and that a fifth is unneccessary. Just though I'd throw that out there.

[QUOTE=cyanide101;15915694]What? Cricket isn't played in the United States.[/QUOTE] Yes it is. Most people just don't play it.

Don't say shit when you don't know what your talking about.

It's nice but I can see how they are already starting to hype it with single weapons info...

[QUOTE=Klammyxxl;15915687]Interesting... I really don't see why this is deemed as "News", but I guess Valve's getting pretty desperate.[/QUOTE] The make content for a game they are making so that does show how desperate they are doesn't it.

I'd be more interested in an unlockable I Got Wood T-shirt for Uncle Phil.

[QUOTE=Turbis;15929371]Look at the picture for god sakes. The zombie getting hit in the face has a shirt with the text "Australia"...

Looks like the shirt and cricket helmet were painted.
