Valve and Capcom reveal Resident Evil 6 X Left 4 Dead 2
Editor’s Note: OK. This is a great example of cross promotion! Well played Valve and Capcom.
Resident Evil 6 is finally coming to the PC platform and Valve is giving you a reason to hunt zombies there; Left 4 Dead 2 characters!
Yes Nick, Coach, Ellis and Rochelle are hunting zombies in Capcom's game. Not only that but some of the special infected from L4D2 will be joining forces with the hordes of Resident Evil 6's zombies to hunt the players. The L4D2 content will only be available on the Mercs mode and it will be free (Valve rubbing onto Capcom?) on April 5th for PC owners.
But wait, some of the monsters from RE6 will even be heading to L4D2! This will be done using L4D2's Steam workshop feature. No word on a price but more than likely, it will be free.
Needless to say this is a cool crossover and it is nice seeing Capcom do this.

Gotta love all the numbers on that title. It would be even crazier if they made a new game out of it.

You can actually read it as Resident Evil 6 10 left 4 dead 2 as X is a roman numeral as well so yeah, crazy numbers.

Am I crazy, or are there Team Fortress 2 characters in the screenshot for Nick? I'm almost sure I see a Soldier and Engineer.
Other than that, this is a really cool idea I'm excited to see in action.

One appears to be wearing a soldier's helmet and one appears to be wearing a hard hat. Aside from that they bear no resemblance to any TF2 characters.

Except that the soldier in question is also wearing a red jacket and a bandolier similar to what the Soldier in TF2 has. I'd say it could be possible.

Oh yeah, I see it.
