Aussie L4D2 Gets a Deep-Clean Sanitizing

Hey look! Disappearing bodies! No, this isn’t some [[link]] homage mod to the days of 8-bit fatalities, it’s one of the features put into the Australian Left 4 Dead 2 so it could be approved for sale.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); You can see for yourself in that video above. The scorecard, according to the Steam community forums is comprehensive: the Australian version of Left 4 Dead 2 will have [[link]] no bloodspatter on the screen; there will be no zombie dismemberment; there will be nothing beyond a “small splash of blood” when you attack an infected – no guts or gore; infected won’t light on fire if they get hit with a molotov, [[link]] and corpses will disappear from the screen. But wait, there’s less! The bullet-proof Riot Cop uncommon infected will not spawn, I guess over cop-killing concerns? “If someone with an uncut version joins a game with Australians with the cut version, Uncommon Infected will NOT spawn,” says the forums. Wow. I was thinking melee would be subject to the two-hand touch rule. Good thing they saved that! Kotaku Australia wrote up the full scoop – with a workaround to defeat the censorship. Although they point out this was tested only on the demo and may not work with the full release. What’s Cut From Aussie Left 4 Dead 2, And How To Uncut It [Kotaku Australia]
