The lights are on
Valve has officially confirmed the inclusion of Avatar Awards for their upcoming undead-addled sequel, Left 4 Dead 2. This news comes after some ambitious Steam forum-sleuths uncovered game files hinting at the virtual swag. If you’re interested in slapping Rochelle’s bright pink Depeche Mode Shirt on your digital likeness, read on for the details on how to earn them.G4 reports that there are nine awards in total, but only six of them have been confirmed:
All the awards seem pretty manageable save for the Gnome Chompski one. First you have to win the lawn ornament by performing well in a shooting-gallery mini-game, then you must escort the him through a zombie-infested amusement park. You’re definitely going to resent the little guy until that last tense second when you leap into your rescue vehicle, but at least you’ll have a wicked Depeche Mode shirt.

Finally some avatar awards and they're not too far fetched.
I do want that Depeche Mode shirt, but too bad I can not get Nick's full bloodstained white suit.
fancy
Nice, a Gnome-related award. That's bringing back some frustrating memories from Half-Life 2
First game I've heard that actually has avatar awards. Do any other games have them?
That seems cool. I'm glad to hear devs are beginning to go out of their way to may outside of game content.
thats cool I dont think any games have used that update yet.
I want Nick's bloodstained suit as well... that would be awesome.
The shirts sound cool and all, but I want a med pack or Coach's whistle. Those would be sweet.
I'm really looking forward to this. I created an avie one time and I liked it. Gimme clothes!!!
Am I the only one laughing at the Chomsky reference...........lol. Gnome Chompski and Noam Chomsky, come on. Linguistics anyone?
At last, the myth of avatar awards is finally being confirmed. Time to get some free swag.
Valve is in a league of their own.
Finaly a 360 game that has awards
. Finally some free avatar stuff we don't have to pay a arm and a leg for....
i would like to see a zombie mask or body suit, or some sort of toy that makes you walk around like a zombie. shirts are cool but give us something awesome.
HECK YES!
Awesome!! Another reason to love Valve.
this is awesome! ill never take that shirt off
***, my friends are gettin this for the comp again so I have to follow suit. No avatar awards for me.
