If you are a Portal 2 fan and enjoy playing Left 4 Dead 2, get ready to see the most amazing Easter Egg built within a new Left 4 Dead 2 map called Suicide Blitz 2. Easter Eggs within games are not new, but most are normally small references to developers, upgrades to weapons, or secret areas such as in Black Ops: Call Of The Dead Easter Eggs.
What Makes This Easter Egg Special?
However, the Portal 2 Easter Egg within the Suicide Blitz 2 is absolutely massive and is practically a full Portal 2 game with speed gel and the works. This isn’t just a small nod to another game; it’s an entire level that feels like it was pulled straight out of Portal 2 and dropped into Left 4 Dead 2. The level includes all the iconic elements from Portal 2, such as the speed gel, which allows players to move at incredible speeds, and the puzzle mechanics that require players to think critically to progress.

How to Experience the Easter Egg
You can download the new Suicide Blitz 2 map from here. Enjoy! But note if you are loading up the map, it currently needs to run on a local server due to a few issues with some official dedicated servers. These issues are currently being fixed and will be released as a map patch soon.
For those unfamiliar with how to set up a local server, it involves a few steps. First, you need to download the map file from the provided link. Once downloaded, place the file in your Left 4 Dead 2 maps folder. Then, launch the game and create a local server from the main menu, selecting the Suicide Blitz 2 map. This will allow you to experience the Easter Egg without any server-related issues.
Additionally, the map creators have gone above and beyond to ensure that the Portal 2 elements are seamlessly integrated into the Left 4 Dead 2 environment. The puzzles are challenging yet rewarding, and the use of speed gel adds a unique twist to the gameplay. It’s a testament to the creativity and dedication of the modding community, who continue to breathe new life into older games.
For those who are fans of both games, this Easter Egg is a dream come true. It combines the best elements of both worlds, offering a fresh and exciting experience that stands out from typical game modifications. Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to the series, the Suicide Blitz 2 map is a must-try.
