Fans Find Left 4 Dead 2 DLC Hints in Demo Code

[Chunko]

I hope this is real, I will never be able to forget Bill and Zoey if it's not. Also there should be DLC where Bill and Zoey get married. They're my favorite characters.

Spoiler

Edit: reading this back to myself it sounds a bit like i'm serious, I'm not

 

[Chunko]

Hell yes! I can play as Bill again!

Dude, Bill is so L4D1. Coach is where it's at now!

(Just joking. Bill is still incredibly awesome, and the thought of him fighting alongside the new crew is fun stuff. Gotta wonder how they'd do those interaction bits though: you know, where the characters address one another.)

Hmm? Sorry? Couldn't hear you, there are Pills here!

Yeah, I too wonder how they're going to do the character interactions. Coach can go screw himself by the way, Bill 4 Life! (Or Nick, I could roll with that too)

I'm actually interested in playing Ellis, Coach, and Bill, with maybe a smattering of Francis during days I'm experiencing irrational hatred of everything.

Bill, Nick, and Zoey are my favorite characters (I have the demo) Coach is okay, but Ellis, and Lewis annoy the crap out of me

"...L4D fans that just have a hard time letting go of the original game's cast and can't bear the thought of a game without them." -- This is true. LOL Guess this was inevitable that it would just be quite different. Nick is probably the coolest; Ellis is gay; Coach is cool but no Louis; and as nice as Rochelle is, she is no Zoey and even tries a little too hard (not the best voice actress IMO). Well, we'll all get used to em sure enough with the greater amount of lines in the full game of course. heh

I have to agree that of what I have seen of Rochelle so far leaves me not so much impressed. Even when Zoey is getting beaten down by the tank you get the feeling that she is still ready to kick ass. And Nick is the coolest, mostly because I am biased to the voice actor, Hugh Dillon. The only person that makes Flashpoint worth watching. Coach isn't meant to be a substitute or replacement for Louis. In fact I find little symmetry between this group and our friends in L4D1. One thing that has been starting to grate on my nerves about Coach, and this might change with the full game, is everything's a ***** to him. The witch is a *****(she just wants some love. Just quit startling her!), CEDA is a *****, Ellis is a *****, so on and so forth. I am hoping that Ellis isn't going to be stereotypical redneck throughout. But this is just from the demo. Many things can change with the full game.
As for this code, I wouldn't put any money on it pertaining to anything, and I highly doubt we will get anything of Bill, Louis, Francis, or Zoey except maybe some dropped hints throughout the game. Now it would be cool if they could be playable in versus multiplayer, to add some spice and variety, since we are getting spice and variety on the infected end. But we will see what comes of this. I just keep my fingers crossed that Valve ain't planning on kissing Microsoft's ass too much.
And Valve, thank you for the delay, with little to no word to go on. Was a pain in the kiester to try to find out anything.

From what version was this information mined? The 360 one, no doubt...

Either way, you're going to have people complaining that the game is unfinished. DLC by nature seems to attract that argument these days....

Yep. From me. DLC is SUPPOSED to be "Oh crap, I had a great idea but the game is already out....I know, DLC!"
I mean, planning a way to make POSSIBLE future DLC is fine, but when I hear about planned DLC for an unreleased game, I want to smack people.
I hate wasting space on DLC that could have just been on the disc. It also means I have to be online, and all this other crap.
Only possible DLC I could forgive is playing in campaign as the origional group (Im almost certain Ive seen the origional characters in versus/scavange, so Im assuming they are already selectable there)

Oh that new girl in L4D2 is wearign a Depeche Mode T-Shirt..

And therein lies a whole story in itself...

I dunno, having seen L4D2 in action, I'm still not sure if it's worth shelling out for. Maybe I'm gonna get struck down for this, but it's just samey...

(Although Coach kicks several shades of ass)

How did I miss this!?

I've seen it in action too and I actually thought this seems quite mediocre..

Yes, indeed. It's the Devil nowadays. God forbid you even hint at having DLC in your game, lest people begin to tear you limb for limb for DARING to want your company to make a little more money. How dare you!
*sigh*

 

[Vault boy Eddie]

How is DLC for the game news? Valve aren't dicks, they give people what they want, unlike other game devs *cough* IW *cough*.

I blame Capcom. You didn't see this before the Resident Evil 5 fiasco.

 

[The Rascal King]

Woooo, Louis returns! Kickass!

But what I can't get past me is that the black chick is wearing a Depeche Mode shirt

Funny thing being that Valve only charges for DLC when Microsoft makes them.

"What? You mean they PLAN to support my game in the future with new content? BASTARDS!"

 

[Awexsome]

Louis!! PEELZ!!

Ha ha! I'll have to see if the new characters start to grow on me but at least I know now that the old ones will probably be back in case I don't like them.

The article also mentioned something about the TF2 console version. I don't want to hear a word about that unless it's going to be updated or just plain re-released when all the updates come out. Valve may be great with the PC version but for the love of god would some GLITCH FIXES be too much to ask?

 

[Doug]

See, I'd be playing this demo right this second, but I'm not allowed because I preordered from Amazon instead of a retailer.

And with the return of Zoey I'm looking forward to Left 4 Head - Series 2! Now featuring Rochelle!, unfortunately. God I hate the internet and all of its pornographers.

What about Left 4 Bed 2?

 

[infinisynth]

"Miracle and Apocalyptic" aren't going to be DLC, they are the next two sequels. BADA BING!

 

[cleverlymadeup]

it will be pretty funny if it's just a joke that they put in there to put people off the trail of the DLC. cause it's not like developers haven't done that before

 

[masher]

Ahh...I can't wait for the TF2 360 update...I mean... I do have both, the 360 and PC, but...more of my friends own the 360 ver.
