So, screw Valve. They don't deserve support from the community.
The day I hear this is the day the gaming community is officially dead.
Also, why not just switch to L4D2? It's been out for quite a long time now. Are you sticking to L4D1 out of sheer stubbornness?
Not to mention it's been frequently discounted a lot, stop whining and just get it already.

Awesome, can't wait for someone to make a zombie mod.
I c wut you did there...

OT: I hope this means we will finally see the mod this game has been begging for since l4d1: ghost skins for zombies and ghostbuster skins for the survivors.
Also, vampire skins for the zombies would make for an interesting twist regarding Francis' character.

Cool beans. I eagerly look forward to easier custom map support and installation.

However, what I really want to see added to Left 4 Dead 2 is the campaign(s) Valve was making for Joss Whedon's movie "The Cabin in the Woods".

Apparently, Whedon and Goddard wanted to do a game-tie-in for the film. However, knowing full well games of that type have always sucked, they wanted to try something different.

Their plan was to approach a company they knew doesn't half-ass their game designs. They considered a few but when they thought of Valve; the company that made Left 4 Dead (a game they liked); they knew they had a fit. More over, they knew how to do the tie-in. An in-theme campaign for Left 4 Dead 2.

It didn't take much to convince Valve to go along with plan. They started immediately working on level designs, character/creature art, voice-overs, etc.

However, production delays and MGM going bankrupt not only threw the film production into limbo, it pretty much killed the campaign tie-in.

You can still see some of the work done for the tie-in within the film. Some of the creature designs for the monsters within the film were done by Valve artists for the campaign.

And once again, I want to rage at Valve for lying at the L4D1-community once again - by once again NOT giving the promised support.
I mean, if you go out and say flatout "we keep support up for this game" then I expect THIS KIND OF STUFF for the related game as well. But nope - instead, L4D1 has to wait 18 months for a patch to fix the broken map editor (an issue, I might want to add, was fixed for L4D2 within 2 weeks. THE EXACT SAME ISSUE!), does not get any of the still needed balacing patches and only gets lied to over and over again.

So, screw Valve. They don't deserve support from the community.
U mad bro?
