The Left 4 Dead 2 interview on Kikizo gives Valve's Chet Faliszek yet another chance to explain the reasons for making Left 4 Dead 2 so soon after the original Left 4 Dead. Along the way they discuss what's different in the sequel, including daylight, the whole boycott petition situation, and the possibility, or lack thereof, that cross platform play between the PC and Xbox 360 will be supported (thanks Mike Martinez). Valve also announces plans to show off the "Swamp Fever" campaign from Left 4 Dead 2 at San Diego's upcoming Comic Con, and provide a new L4D2 Swamp Fever screenshot as well. Here's the Comic Con plan:

Valve today announced that Left 4 Dead 2 will be shown and playable during the upcoming Comic Con in San Diego, CA.

After debuting "The Parish" campaign (set in the New Orleans' French Quarter) at E3, the Comic Con showing will unveil "Swamp Fever", the second of the five campaigns shipping with L4D2 this fall. The game will be playable in the EA Gaming Lounge Presented by Xbox 360 from 2-9 pm Thursday-Saturday, and 12-5 pm on Sunday. The EA Gaming Lounge will be located in the Hilton San Diego Gaslamp Quarter Hotel, 401 K. Street.

In addition to the new campaign, Valve is also planning to unveil a few more of the 20-plus new items coming this November when the title launches worldwide on the Xbox 360 and PC. For more information, please visit www.l4d.com
