G4TV show X-Play have released a short preview featuring Chet Faliszek who talks about the upcoming Left 4 Dead. He describes the game as a "four-player survival co-op" rather than as a FPS and comments on the level design.

Left 4 Dead will feature four levels whicn you and your buddies need to work through per map with a safe point in between these levels. At the end of these four stages there will be a final stage where you're holed up and need to survive an infected onslaught. I'm not sure if Chet was referring to just the Cornfield map (which was shown here) or to all maps. I think it's a pretty cool set up, especially final stage.

Interestingly there was a shot of an infected trying to break down a door. This is a great feature if it means doors (and hopefully other barricades) will slow and not stop entirely the foe.

Enjoy the video. Thanks G4TV

Watch the video.

Yeah I watched that, really good stuff. It does seem that doors in regular buildings (not safe houses) will be completely destructible. That farm area looks terrifying. Imagine being the last one alive in that dark house. Or in a cornfield. Awesome!

I'm loving that cornfield map. I can't wait to play it

on the final stage of each campaign you have to do a last stand and yes doors will not stop the infected only slow them except for the tank who just plows through them like wet cardboard. the tank is also able to break through some walls making things shitty for surviors

Ok look at this video, then look at ANY other videogame preview, this game kicks its arse .
My most wanted map.. the cornfield, the whole party in the back of the jeep mowing down hundreds of zombies with a turret. Even if this game was delayed until 2010 I will still be ecstatic in the knowedge that One day, I will play this game.
