Tried to watch it on two computers, get ‘undefined.’ Thanks for the other links though, guys :)

They mentioned a while back that the ‘No Mercy’ campaign was set in Philadelphia, with another set in Pittsburgh, as a nod towards the Romero movies, which were set in the same area.

Did Valve ever release a location for L4D? I noticed during the hunter section of the intro a set of Pennsylvania tags on the car (I think). This state of America would make sense because it offers a large city with international airport, farmland within stone’s throw, and rabid Philly fans. Little known fact: The “infected” were chasing the survivors for a signed Shane Victorino bobble head.

Forgot to explain further:
The age validation didn’t work on your site, but worked on Gamespot and when I went back to your site (and the Gamespot video player remembered that I’m old enough :) ) then the video worked

The video didn’t work for me either, but when I went to the gamespot site and watched the video there (via the link from Teo), but when I went back to RPS it worked there…

Perhaps you are missing some validation utils from gamespot??

I couldn’t get the video to work, neither here nor directly on their site. Thanks for the youtube link, or I would have missed a great video.

It certainly is the roof at the start of No Mercy, I recognised it straight away – except for the tarp, which I don’t recall being there. I’d be fairly sure there will be similar videos for each section transition – and I’d strongly suspect they are the main reason the game wasn’t released weeks ago when all the previews were saying ‘This game seems practically ready to release’. That level of polish must take up serious resources.

Oh, and for my fellow non-UKers who can't access Dead Set online via the Channel Four website, a little bird told me that some guy upped them to youtube. I think it's... dodgydave1989. I'm sure it's around elsewhere in better quality, too.

The video leads up to the start of the No Mercy campaign. All the campaigns are meant to be linked together, so maybe each has a short introduction like you say.

For anyone else that played it at showdown; does the roof at the end of the video look a bit like the roof you start on in the level we got to play?

Would be interesting if all the levels were linked together through these ‘meet the team’ style of video release we’ve been promised with patches.
