New Game Mode Added To Left 4 Dead 2

Valve has announced that nearly half a million members of the Left 4 Dead 2 community have voted to add a permanent new Mutation (a.k.a. game mode) to Left 4 Dead 2; Realism Versus.  Realism Versus combines the rules of Versus and Realism Modes to create a Versus game that requires the best in Survivor teamwork.

With the release of the DLC “The Passing” last month, Left 4 Dead 2 has seen weekly new Mutations released every Friday.  The excitement and response to Realism Versus was so overwhelming a poll was added for the in-game blog which simply asked: “Should the Mutation be permanent?”

This week’s Mutation is “Follow the Liter.”  The rules of Scavenge have changed.  Only one group of cans spawn at a time, so survivors know exactly where to go.  There is only one problem; the Infected know exactly where they are going.

The weekly Mutations are available to all owners of Left 4 Dead 2′s “The Passing” DLC for both the PC and XBox360.
