Left 4 Dead Sequel
- Thread starter Bored Tomatoe
- Start date
L4D doesn't really need a storyline. All you need to know going into it is that there's been an infection which has turned people feral and even started to mutate them. You play as one of four survivors who need to get the hell away from the infected as far as possible.
Here's the thing though: Why are you saying it just about this game? Valve have done this before. Half Life & Half life 2 worked on the same premise of knowing only so much of what's going on and then just throwing you into the game. Its works brilliantly.

I think some more game modes would be good such as
Survival- You would hold out against zombies and special infected (player controlled) for as long as you could until you all die and then the other team has a go and the winner is the team which survived the longest.
Prequel- You would be in places where the infection has just started to spread you have to try and avoid zombies get some weapons then meet up with the other survivors and try to fight your way out.
Challenges- Various challenges with players competing, such as who can snipe the most zombies in a time period, or just like in dawn of the dead remake you have to search crowds for a specific zombie to snipe. The premise in the game world for this could be the survivors are somewhere safish and have to starve off boredom
Rescue and Escort- Have to find a scientist who may have a zombie cure, and then escort him to an extraction point, would have another team as infected who would try to kill the scientist.
Scavenge- Could have a mode where various teams must leave there safe houses fight there way through zombies and get supplies, while also fighting the other survivors teams. Teams could be regular people, Cults, police ect. and some people could play as special infected trying to kill and stop everyone.

The Half Life series had more story too it. I actually wouldn't mind hints at a story. Basically, if they made the graffiti on the walls hint at the origins, or Easter eggs in random side rooms hinting at the extent of the infection, where the government is, maybe even a vauge hint at the origin. I think that including a straight up story would ruin the feel of the game, but if the denizens of the internet could team up, and make a rough timeline, that would be cool.
This isn't CoD. Valve don't churn out sequels every couple of years. TF2 came 9 years after the first one, HL2 was 6 years after HL. Even then there is no guarantee they would make a sequel.
I have to agree with people who said L4D feels unfinished. There is so much more content they could add to this game before they even think about doing a sequel. Even TF2 still gets content updates.

too early man, really... left4dead has only been out, what, a month now? and you already want a sequel? just go play the game and enjoy it in all it's greatness, and wait for the mods if you're playing on PC, or pray for DLC if you're playing the 360 version like me....
How about we just say 'L4D sequel' and not this made up Left 2 Die crap.
And I haven't played it, but I want it. But it must be pretty shitty if you're already waiting for a sequel.

No. It is great. the thing is, we are basically just brainstorming a bunch of things that could be added to the game to make it better.Cinder Block of Oppression said:
so far we have:
1)More. Campaigns.
2)more boss zombie types.
3)melee weapons/ more weapon types
4)slightly less linear(Different paths)
5)Differences in characters/ Character customization
6)more characters
7)More zombie skins.
8)more game-play types
there we go. enumerated list for simplicities sake.
Your point being? They were working on a sequel to Portal just after that was released as well, understandable given the sucess, but still. Also note the series with Half-life, opposing force, blue shift, decay. Compare Counterstrike that exists in five or six variations, as well.Unknower said:
Valve is just not as obvious as others (EA) with milking their products, or releasing sequels. They sort of hide them instead, but don't think they're not doing it. I'm almost positive we'll see sequels or expansion packs popping up all over the place for Left 4 dead.
Id like to see funny 'one-off' game modes. Like surviving 'on the run' in wide open spaces instead of having linear paths, or a 'defend-the-structure' scenario. Fun 'mini-games' if you will =)
