UPDATE: Microsoft Announces Left 4 Dead 2

[HellbirdIV]

I have a bad feeling about this.

One thing i noticed is that the big thing that could pass for a tank looks kinda dumb, it was giant on one side and puny on the other, i prefer the old version. And if they take out the smoker type zombies, i doubt they would do that to us poor players trying to beat expert, but if they did i would love them forever.

This is highly un-Valve like to bring out a sequel so soon... I mean, what the hell happened to Half Life??? and Portal???

I'm going to be honest... Valve just lost a tiny inklet of my respect today. Of course, they still have a huge bank full of golden goblets full of respect from me, so not much has changed

Aw, I'm gonna miss the old characters. And are they seriously all going be set in the day? For some reason that doesn't seem as fun.

No, theres day and night levels. The zombies act differently in the day light, like they can see you from further away, and you have the "Wandering Witch", who is basically the oridinary Witch escept she wonders around, making it hard for you to avoid her.

And thus Valves credibility gets punched in the balls.

You seem pleased.

Seriously? This soon? Why not just make a good update?
Don't let me down, Valve.

This is fucking ridiculous. L4D hasn't even made its mark yet. It's still got a lot of juice in it. I fucking love L4D and I'm sure I'll love L4D2 but this is acually irritating.

 

[meatloaf231]

Well... now we know why Episode 3 is taking so long. Nobody's working on it.

This.

I love the dude whose voicing the cut scene. I think this will end up being more of an expansion pack then a sequel. You played one group of survivors, who says there can't be too. With the edition of melee weaponry I think this will be an amazing addition to an already great game.

 

[Deef]

I dunno, I'm torn between this and ODST for best game that isn't ME2 at E3.

WANT HAS!

Guys, think about it, how long would a game like Left 4 Dead take to make when they can already build from the current engine, instead of starting from scratch? It's not like there's a massive story-mode, or a massive free-roam environment, it's a simple game format which can be made quicker than most.

Ah, well that makes it already seem a bit better then what I was thinking. I hope the new characters will be as charming as the were before, that's kinda made me love the first Left 4 Dead the most.

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

Awesome! They have a formula that works, now they can expand on it. I don't understand the complaining, I've already had my moneys worth out of L4D.

So much for Francis hating stuff....;_'

Anyway, super-psyched for a demo.
