Here is some new dirt on the survivors/story:


 * In story mode,you pllay as WolfSquad (A reference to the engine maing Left 4 dead 11ty,WolfMod) and get to pick which member you play as,the mebers are:Daniel Winchester (Sniper and pistol expert),Zoey Harkinson (Shotgun-Freak) James LouaeLut (Medic,his name is pronounced Loo-Ayo-Lut) and the Big strong secretive member known as Frank Matador(Melee specialist,explosive specialist and all-round pissed guy).The weapons and strategies you can sue revolve around your characer,for example,playing as daniel means better damage and accuracy for Sniper weapons and Pistol's,whereas playing as James reduces your efficieny with all weapons (Except pistols) but lets you heal faster.

Now for a small plot summary:

You star off on a plane,being shipped to Somahara island for tempoary Vacation,however,before arriving,the plane get's shot down (AT low-altitude,thankfully) and the team awake to find thereselves in a small beach,before noticing a man sitting on a bench,whimpering,they approach him,and,as expected,he is infected,luckily the survivors kill him before he alerts a horde.

The first real mission kicks off after that,the survivors are forced to locate safety (Survivor bases) nearby,on there way they have two choices,go through the town or walk through to cliff-forest near the town,either way,a tutorial plays out demonstrating new things:Such as enivormental traps,and their use/danger,as well as the new infected and the ability to sneak past common infected.ALternatively,the tutorial can be skipped.

Outside of the survivor base,the team faces their first horde,using tier 1 weapons to defend theirselves against the horde and the new infected,they get to enter the small survivor base.

Survivor bases function as Hub Location's for missions and side things,however in a new touch,you must pay for items,the survivor bases trade with a small tribal village (Well,the survivors of the tribal village) who have access to an abandoned military complex.Luckily money can be found on normal infected,and the player is able to put together makeshift weapons (The cheapest is the zip-gun,which only required some wood,2 bits of long-steel,and a trigger).

Theres not much story existing right now,i use the eleventy story tactic,which allows the community to vote.Anyway,time for more details.

Being an open-world game,L4D11ty can get extremely tense,as the infected are smarter,being able to ambush,and set traps,and the african setting doesn't help,the characters must survive of the enviroment (I know it sounds like MGS3,but it's much harder and deeper),by drinking water,and not getting extremely warm (Numerous outfit upgrades can be purchased the the base's),and setting up traps of their own,using items like rope,trip-wire pipe-bombs and collapsing bridges.

One last note about the enemies,due to tinkering from the tribal cult (The survivors of damnation),the virus allows for thinking and increased strength,but if they fall into a river,they die.The remainder of the cult either move to villages to trade with the Survivor bases,or sacrificed theirselves to the infection,but....their changed body-structure produced new forms of Special Infected,Such as the mauler (Small,stealthy and can drain survivor health without them noticing),stalker (Can cling to walls and run up them,and marks survivors locations for infected to help coor-dinate ambushes),and the deciever (A tribal leader,wearing a ttribal robe with hood,and can spew gas on the survivors to make them hallucinate).

Thats all the information i can provide at this time.
