Zombie Apocalyptic Showdowns

Left 4 Dead 'Impulse 76' Brings Surprise Guests to the Survivors

— December 19, 2011 — Pop Culture
The follow-up to the Left 4 Dead fan-made trailer dubbed Left 4 Dead 'Impulse 76' is finally here and it's definitely quite a surprising clip.

The last clip left off with Louis, Francis and Zoey getting ready to head out to their next destination. Left 4 Dead 'Impulse 76' shows what went down when they opened those doors. Fans of the game will be pleased to hear that all the infected make an appearance such as the Boomer, the Hunter, the dreaded Witch and more. What the audience can expect is a whole lot of zombies and a whole lot of shooting. What they won't expect are the special guests that make an appearance and believe me when I say that gamers will be pleased to see the new cast. Without giving anything away, watch the video and see who shows up to save the day.
