Dead Center

Dead Center is the first campaign in Left 4 Dead 2. According to the game's developers, the campaign takes place in Savannah, Georgia, a city that has not yet been hit by the Infection. The Survivors' path will lead them through a shopping mall at some point, and the escape vehicle used will be a muscle car.

Trivia

 * The campaign poster is the only Left 4 Dead 2 poster that features close combat weapons in it.
 * Dead Center may or may not be set in daylight. In the Zombie Survival Guide trailer before the survivors get into elevator it is night, suggesting that the campaign is set in night-time, but in the poster it looks like it is day, although if you look closely you can see this is lighting.
 * The scene with the stairs and the helicopters from the Zombie Survival Guide trailer belong to this campaign, as well as the elevator scene.
 * This campaign also has several unique lines for the round-menu(such as "Look" when a survivor is highlighted).
 * In the campaign poster, Coach has a Machete, while Ellis has a Chainsaw, Nick has an Axe, while Rochelle holding both a Katana and Chainsaw, dual-wielding melee weapons, which is not possible in-game.
 * In the campaign poster, Ellis' left arm is not fully drawn. But, still, some may think that his left hand is behind Nick or in his pocket, making it possible for Nick's arm to appear as though it does not exist further than the sleeve.
 * The tagline is a reference to the constant price-cuts employed by major chain stores to attract customers.
 * Like Dark Carnival, the tagline had been suggested on internet forums several times before reveal.
 * This campaign might be in reference to the survival horror video game Dead Rising or the movie Dawn of the Dead, both of which take place in a shopping mall.
 * This campaign precedes the Dark Carnival campaign, as in the beginning of Dark Carnival, the Survivors are heard talking about their escape from the mall, indicating that it took place immediately prior. The completion achievement for this campaign, also goes first in the achievement list, followed by Dark Carnival, Swamp Fever, Hard Rain and The Parish.
 * Like every other campaign poster, Nick is placed next to Rochelle.
 * Although this campaign is set to take place in Savannah, the city has no three story malls.
 * The mall in the poster has more in common with the Dunwoody Mall in Atlanta than any actual mall in the city of Savannah.
 * The Riot Infected could appear in this campaign. The other Uncommon Infected may be the "Fallen Survivor", judging from the in-game language files.
 * If you look at the poster very carefully, you can see that there are a lot of mannequins laying in front, around, and standing behind the Surivors. They seem to have large cuts and missing parts, such as arms and legs.
