The Parish

The Parish is a new campaign featured in Left 4 Dead 2, believed to be the last one of the game. According to gameplay footage, the campaign spans five chapters. Little is known about it, although the poster features a traditional New Orleans' cemetery, and so do some videos and screen shots. It takes place in New Orleans, the tag line says: "This time it all goes south". This campaign takes place in daylight.

The Parish is also exclusive host to the uncommon Hazmat Infected and possibly the Riot Infected.

Trivia

 * The footage shown in early gameplay trailers comes from this campaign. If so, it seems that the players will adventure through a park, city-streets and a small construction area. A scene in one of the trailers also shows the players activating an alarm, which prompts them to fight their way to the top of a small platform to turn it off. In another Crescendo Event, the Survivors must activate a parade float, causing upbeat, cheery music to be played while the horde attacks.


 * When Game Informer magazine saw the poster for this campaign, they commented; "Now the black guy is also the old guy, and the office professional is wearing a jacket instead of a tie. Yep, Valve's really mixing it up this time around."
 * The Parish was the first campaign to reveal the new "Gauntlet Crescendo". Where survivors are to get from point A to point B to get to the rescue vehicle
 * Tagline of this campaign have been changed at least three times. First time it was seen with "This time it all goes south" tagline, but then it used "Welcome to the Big Uneasy", though it was changed back to "This time it all goes south".
 * The public demo for the game will include levels from this campaign.
 * The Andrew Jackson sculpture encountered is much like the statue in Kansas City in Missouri. However, since the campaign takes place in New Orleans, the statue is probably in Jackson Square.
 * Virgil leaves you at the Waterfront thinking that the survivors can fend for themselves while he goes to try and help more people.
