It looks like Left 4 Dead 2 will have an additional mode besides the well known Campaign, Versus and Survival modes. Called Scavenge, Valve's designer Chuck Faliszek describes the mode as "competitive (like Versus), but less time intensive."

Basically, the goal of Scavenge is to pour as much fuel (from sixteen canisters scattered around the level) into a centrally located generator. The mode consists of six rounds (each round is two minutes) where players spend three rounds as infected and three rounds as survivors. A point and 20 seconds are added by pouring a canister into the generator. The winner is decided by who has the most points at the end of the six rounds. Just to make things interesting, if a player is holding a gas canister as time expires, the game enters overtime. Overtime ends when the survivor holding the fuel pours it into the generator or drops the canister. The game will ship with six Scavenge mode maps which are modified versions of the campaign maps.

Check out Scavenge mode in action and let us know what you think.
