Left 4 Dead 2

[hagaya]

I agree, I almost wish they'd wait longer. AND BRING BACK THE OLD CHARACTERS!

Can anyone say... Cameo?

I would say Louis put on some pounds, but I'm afraid that somebody would pull the race card on me.

The TF2 Scout, Scarface, and a good ol' New Orleans man, pretty good set of characters. Unfortunately, I like the regular L4D characters, and I'd love to see what Francis would do with a chainsaw.

 

[McBurks]

It should be called "Left 2 die" it would be so much better!

Funny thing is...THIS IS WHAT I THOUGHT! When it first came out I thought "The sequel should be called Left 2 Die."

And on topic...that is true. Its probably E3 eye candy.

Yes,and when the third installment comes out what will that be called?After awhile the games will become unorganized with Left 1 Dead being the 5th game's title....

Why so early? I know it won't be released in November, but I was kinda hoping for some new maps via DLC for the first game before the 2nd came out. Plus lets talk about the title. "Left for Dead 2" Why? Couldn't they have done anything better?

Especially since Valve basically said they were going to do this when people were complaining about only 4 campaigns. I mean they can release a patch to TF2 every week but can't throw L4D players a bone?

 

[Internet Kraken]

Don't quote me on this, but I heard that the "tank" seen in the trailer is not the new tank. Rather, it is a new playable infected. It will probably function like a mini tank.

After all, one of it's arms is really small. How will it throw concrete if one of it's arms is tiny?

Also, there are tons of threads about Left 4 Dead 2.

Uh, no. Left 4 Dead is a pun. Left 2 Die is also a pun, only in a bigger way. After the 2nd game they would need to become more clever.

What does it matter if they rushed it?

Let them do what they wish, they have a crap load of money. Do you?

 

[El Taco the Rogue]

I'm sorry sir, but.. rushed? Valve does not rush games, they will announce it this early, sure, but they will deliver about 3-4 years down the road, and as for cartoony, they just wanted to announce something for the upcoming E3, and it was made with the source engine.

They announced a release already: November 17th, 2009.

Well, all Im saying is they better finish HL2 Episode 3 by then. Also, if this sucks it will ruin Valves perfect record, but we can all boycott it.

 

[Weaver]

Well, you can't call it rushed because they're using the same engine they worked 3-4 years on. All they're really doing is cutting and pasting. Once you have all the info down, you just need to add models to play as.
Which makes me wish they made an expansion pack instead of sequel. It's too soon for a sequel, and it looks like the major change is location, and melee weapons, which aren't enough to warrant 60 more dollars. I am probably going to buy it because I love Left 4 Dead, I just wish it wasn't a full game.

If they put the game at a 20 dollar price point I'd buy it.

Well, they haven't said anything about cost yet. And they did promise to keep on updating L4D.

 

[Hydrus]

Aww hell yeah. Can't wait.

And hang on a sec, are people actually complaining they made this game too quickly?! Are you effing serious? Talk about whining gamer nerds. First Valve takes too long, now they make too many games too quickly.

Also, there is no Tank in the trailer. That's a Charger, one of the new special infected.

 

[folgrim]

It really does frustrate me that they are already releasing a sequel a year after the original. I am sick of the 4 campaigns in L4D and I want a few more before the next game is released.

 

[soaringbiscuit]

I really hoped they would of called it "Left 5 Dead". I guess you can't get everything you want. Still, not like Valve to release a sequel to a game in such a short time. I sense a disturbance in the horizon.

Yes Sir, that would have been awesome. But then the signature hand would have ALL 5 of its fingers, and who would want that? 100% of appendages is no fun.

On Topic: I think that Valve made the right decision in making a sequel this early. Who knows, maybe it'll be priced cheaper? Oh yeah, and if they released all these new maps as DLC then people would say it'd be overpriced.

 

[MarsProbe]

L4D2 looks amazing. I can't wait. Stop complaining.

Indeed. Isn't it great to be able to have a positive outlook on these matters?

 

[The Shade]

L4D2 looks amazing. I can't wait. Stop complaining.

This. s'all you need to know.
