Dark Carnival

Dark Carnival is the second campaign of Left 4 Dead 2, that takes place in a Whispering Oaks carnival. It starts off on a highway with the Survivors heading towards a Ferris wheel in the distance, passing through a motel complex, and eventually reaching Whispering Oaks carnival. This campaign brings unique situations to Left 4 Dead 2. One situation described by the writer was that how weird it would be when the merry-go-round starts while you're fighting an Infected horde. It is the third campaign to be announced by Valve.

Trivia

 * This level looks very similar to the 2009 movie, Zombieland, that has four survivors fighting zombies in an amusement park.
 * This level may be based in part on the light gun arcade game CarnEvil.
 * From screenshots revealed by Valve, it appears that the Dark Carnival campaign will take place at night, thus putting to rest the rumors about Swamp Fever being the only campaign to be set at night.
 * Dark Carnival is host to a new Uncommon Common Infected, the Clown Infected. His function is very similar to the cut SI the Screamer.
 * Dark Carnival's poster is the first poster to feature an infected, as well as the first to be in horizontal position, as opposed to every other campaign poster yet.
 * Ellis' clothes have yet again changed colors in the poster.
 * The infamous Gnome from Half Life 2: Episode 2 makes an appearance in the poster, just in between Ellis' legs.
