How is weapon selection handled?
“You begin with a pistol and your choice of shotgun or submachine gun, and Molotov or pipe bomb. Later in the level you can add a second pistol and upgrade to an auto shotgun, heavy assault rifle or sniper rifle, but that’s it – Left 4 Dead’s weaponry is as resolutely unfancy as its backstory.” Can the Infected use weapons? – No. The Infected bosses are “limited” to their melee and special abilities; no guns. Dual Wielding – Much like Counter-Strike, the only weapons that will be dual-wield are pistols. According to GameSpy’s 5/12 preview, the pistols are .45 caliber Springfield Armory 1911 pistols.
