Well this is not something I expected to see
...*checks date*......
Yep not April 1st

Capcom and Valve are pleased to announce the Resident Evil® 6 x Left 4 Dead 2 project. This crossover project between two of the interactive entertainment industry's most respected publishers will see characters from Left 4 Dead™ 2 featured exclusively in the forthcoming PC version of Resident Evil® 6, while enemies from Resident Evil 6 will invade the PC version of Left 4 Dead 2. All content will be made available completely free for fans of either game to access and play.

Owners of Resident Evil 6 PC will be able to select one of four survivors from Left 4 Dead 2's iconic cast – Coach, Nick, Ellis and Rochelle – when playing PC exclusive mode, The Mercenaries No Mercy. Each character will have a special customized weapon load-out created just for use in Resident Evil 6. In addition to the four survivors, two of the infamous Special Infected zombies from the Left 4 Dead franchise – the Witch and Mini Tank – will also make a cameo appearance in this mode, relentlessly attacking players regardless of whether a character from Left 4 Dead 2 or Resident Evil 6 is chosen. This new and exclusive content will automatically be downloaded in the background to all owners of the PC version of Resident Evil 6 from April 5.

Making the leap to the PC version of Left 4 Dead 2 will be some of Resident Evil 6's most fearsome enemies – Lepotitsa, Napad and Ogroman. All three characters were brought to life in Left 4 Dead 2 by Valve's renowned developers using its Steam Workshop tools. Owners of the PC version of Left 4 Dead 2 will be able to face a new deadly challenge when Resident Evil 6 characters infect Valve's classic zombie title this spring.

Commenting on the crossover project, Chet Faliszek from Valve stated: "We're huge Resident Evil fans, so when the opportunity arose to work directly with Capcom to combine L4D2 and RE6, we jumped at it."

Resident Evil 6 Producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi added: "The Resident Evil 6 team really enjoyed working on this crossover, and we're confident that our fans will have a great time with it too! We hope you enjoy this unique content."

Wonder will it spiral off to a full release at some stage

there was a similar gimmick there recently with the release of Brutal Legend, you could use some melee weapon that jack black had in BL, in L4D2.

Going go pre-order. Played the console version and despite the negative reviews I enjoyed it overall. As I said before in the RE6 thread, Capcom are doing a good job promoting the PC version.

On Steam
Its €29.99 which makes it cheaper than other new releases, its a nice compensation for the delayed release.
Its got all the console updates, changed default brightness, field of view change.
Its getting all the multiplayer DLC for free.
RE5 for free.
Digital soundtrack and art book.
PC version gets the No Mercy mode and now this bonus feature.
Capcom have dropped games for windows live and are using Steamworks.
All recent Capcom ports have been good.

Obviously if you played the console version and didn't like it, this isn't going to change your mind though.

I only care if the zombies are playable in versus. I've no interest in L4D2 campaigns,
