Looks photoshoped.

Is that a almost naked statue behind and a little left of the black guy?

(Sorry don't know names)

mall + zombies= awesome in my opinion. hope their true.

Ah, I think Dead Centre is true. I remember seeing 'ings getting slashed' somewhere before. I can't remember where, though.

Hm. I get the feeling that 'Hard Rain' is going to cause some controversy in New Orleans.

Who doesn't want a mall filled with zombies?

Woah. If that's fake then it's really, really well done.

These looks pretty awesome. I love the tag lines.

Real or otherwise, Kudos to those who made them.

It does appear to be a mannequin, yes. Not that unusual in malls which would go with the "Prices slashed" subtitle. Either it's an official map, or it'll become a fan made map. We'll likely see this mall+zombies turning up whatever happens :P

I hope so, or if anything, new community maps.

It certainly has a real look to it, in a way that I'd at least hope Dead Center is real. Sounds a bit unlikely though, if only for odd places for the source. Its close enough to release for odd things to start appearing too though... So conflicted.

I would asume that Valve build their posters in Photoshop or similar software to some extent, so that means very little. I do hope that this is a real shot though, it looks like a laugh.

I wouldn't know, so I guess you're right. It would be cool if you can hole up in and Ambercrobie and Fitch store and throw the guys that wear sandals to the zombies.

I'd like to see how VALVe would make a mall filled with zombies.

Hopefully it will be filled with games stores, computer shops, Games Workshops, and a whole lotta Pukka Pie stands.

That's Coach. I think those are manikins...

If it is a Hoax, it looks very real...

The Steam forums are considering it legit, if that helps anything.

Looks a little fake, but I don't know what art style they will use for the game.

Lol, nice joke. Dead Rising had to put "Not affiliated with Dawn of the Dead" or something on it's cover so I think it's a hoax.

I hope this is real, what could be more fun than running through a mall?....well, besides the possibility of sponsorship ads.

Looks good- can't wait.
Edit-doesn't look fake.

I squeeled with girlish delight. I'd love to play out my sick Dawn of the Dead fantasies in L4D2. :)
I hope they're real, that would be pretty cool.

Dead Center looks like an entirely melee weapons campaign. I hope it is, anyway.

Looks like it could be pretty damn fun if it is real.

God I hope the shopping mall is true. I've been wanting a level like that since the original.

looks awesome

Guess there is a fifty/fifty chance, but seeing as it came from a Taiwanese site I'm not sure whether to trust it.
I mean, I'm not saying I don't trust the Taiwanese, I'm just saying how would they have gotten hold of these pictures?

You mean like this

Baha.... Sorry, that was in bad taste.

These characters look quite entertaining, except the black female.

I'm going to say true. The art seems valve standard and the story behind them seems legit enough to be true. And come on, the fake guard dog update was pretty easy to spot.
