L4D2: carnies are indeed scary

Valve showcased another L4D2 campaign, dubbed "Dark Carnival," at the PAX 2009 gaming expo this weekend. The level will have its own "uncommon common" infected, the Clown Zombie:


A new special - the Jockey - was also revealed. 1UP has a preview:
The other new special, the jockey, could be the best new addition to the game. He leaps on your back but instead of doing heavy damage he "rides" you taking over control of your movement. You get to fight against him by trying to move where you want to break away and the struggle feels very believable. It's a seesaw battle that rocks from almost having no control at all to moments where you have it back. All the while he's not just taking you away from the group; he's running you into the thick of the zombies or toward the other special infected. Oh, and he especially likes to take you to witches.


People who pre-order the game will have access to additional melee weapons (and so will their teammates while everyone's on the same server). Interestingly, one of those weapons will be an electric guitar.

And there's video. I highly recommend watching this with the sound off.
