Gamespot took an exclusive look at the third movie (campaign) in Left 4 Dead, Dead Air.

This session with Left 4 Dead was unique in that we had the chance to play a single movie in two very different ways: once in single-player on a PC, and a second time with four people on the Xbox 360. In single-player, your teammates are replaced by AI-controlled bots. Oddly enough, this situation proves to be far more survival-friendly than playing with human teammates. Aside from having a bit of trouble recognizing the dangers of fire and wasting their ammo by shooting zombies near a pipe bomb you've just thrown, the AI teammates are very helpful and good at sticking close by your side. We had a much easier time making it to the end without all that pesky human error getting in the way, but at the same time that sense of human cooperation is what makes Left 4 Dead so much fun.

You can read the full preview here.
 
Is there a bigger version of the Dead Air "Poster"? I'd like to print it out and hang it up with the valve part of my poster wall.
 
The people on the DeadAir flight were left 4 dead?

Haha, I crack myself up.
 
Interesting, still a little confused how this storyline is going to play out with the various campaigns, this one will definitely be good fun to play through. I wish they'd quit with these bad advertising puns though :( They make me laugh, I'm not sure if that's the point...

I think cheesy is what they were going for, like most horror movies, its not really meant to be taken seriously. When you load into the campaigns it puts the player-names onto the poster as the actors.
