Scavenge Mode looks like a welcome addition to upcoming zombiefest Left 4 dead 2, due out mid-November. Frankly, I can't wait!

Judging from this video footage, it's great to see that Valve hasn't drifted far from the original in terms of graphics and sounds; it manages to keep that creepy atmosphere and the sense of panic!

The new mode throws the four main characters into the action, pitting their wits against four infected in a race against time. Each team has to find gas canisters strewn about the map and - depending on which side you're on - refuel a thirsty generator or destroy them.

The more game modes, the better I say - especially after the ridiculously short campaign and lack of maps in the original.

Here's a glance at one of the new special infected that we're gonna come up against too, the aptly-named Jockey!
