I'd add something that crosschecks a person's SteamID with whether or not they at any point in time joined the boycott group. If so, one month ban for being a hypocrite.

I would add the Witch as a playable character in the VS Mode.
I don't understand how this would work. Would you just sit around until the survivors showed up? If so, that sounds like it would get boring fast.
It could work, but wouldn't be fun. You're sitting there in third person, but EVERYTHING is blacked out except for the area directly around you. If you get shot, you can see everything, if they put you into "angry" mode, your circle of sight widens considerably, and they have a brief time to switch off lights and hide before you're able to get a bead on their location.

Since you walk around, it could be interesting as a game of chance, wandering around the map with vague outlines of the area, only briefly being aware of exactly where the survivors are. It COULD work, but would be fairly dull.
Maybe a new special infected called a Stalker or something? It would work like that, like a hunter/witch mixture! It also has a fog like that circles around it, making it invisible except for the tell-tale muttering, and it becomes visible when it attacks. An insane killer that was infected? Its also rare like the tank.

P.S. Sorry for the double post!

A $50 rebate.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Putting the game into free DLC is already out of the question, so why not just make it an open-source game. Valve would get tons of publicity and torrents and illegal downloads wouldn't be as big a problem.

Actually in L4D2 the witch now wanders during daylight hours so you could kind play as one in theory.

Split Screen for the PC. I have a PC but find it rather annoying that I would need to buy a console to play with people I actually know. While there is a splitscreen mod out there (made out of left over code), you have to buy a Xbox controller, several adapters, and it's still only a two-player game. The other two survivors are still bots. Then again, I think the last game with splitscreen for the PC was the 3D Centipede game by Hasbro. So maybe they've just stopped splitscreen for the PC back in 1995 and I'm just behind the times.
Other than that, I'd like to keep the first four survivors. You can't grab pills without Louis.
Or hate vans without Francis.
Also, I'm suspecting that the new Charger infected will be the ONLY new infected. So I'd love to have more that 1 new infected. Preferably something really wierd. Like a flying infected.
Oh yeah, and a bicycle. The zombie survival guide says a bike would be the ultimate wepon/vehicle during a zombie apocalypse... of course, those were slow zombie. Still, I'd be fun to race a bike down a street, spin around, pick it up, and use it to smash some zombies. Or make a wheeled pipe bomb out of it :D

I want a flamethrower; it won't happen, but hell it would be cool. Other than that, nothing really. People who have looked into the game properly know Valve are putting in a lot of cool stuff.

I want to see the level where 'the infection hasn't hit yet', and the car park full of alarmed cars ;)

heres a thought, have a trade in plan

heres how it goes, you bring in your copy of left 4 dead and the stor gives you a large discount on left 4 dead 2, so it feels mpre like your just buying an expantion pack. however if you don't have a copy of left 4 dead then you have to pay full price.

since valve has stated they will include the four original campaigns this won't be a big loss if you already own it and if you don't then your paying full price for a full price game, good idea... right?
really man? a quad post and now a triple post?

what would i add?
in verses inbetween spawning as special infected player can control a common infected. 20-30 second respawn times and watching the survivers get 1/3rd across the map with out being able to stop them is just disheartening.


alternative weapons which don't replace older weapons, but rather provide an alternative.
SMG+Scope. high accuracy, low damage. not as effective as the assault rifle or sniper rifle, but is a great inbetween

a pistol which does more damage round per round but can't be duelied.

a shotty that fires slug shot doing high damage and penetrates through multipule zombies but doesn't have any scatter (cross between sniper rifle/assault rifle and shot gun)



a solo player campaign which takes place in the two weeks before the co-op game.
mostly shows off the cinimatic value of valve as you walk around a couple of the locations before they fell as you safely evacuate. be in a riverside Before it went to hell and possibly be there when it does go to hell. mostly AI vs AI moments and scripted events.

but its fun to play a game during the turn where the human/infected ratio is closer to equial rather than it being 4 human/4000000 infected.

I would redo the game such that the four chars were gigantic racial stereotypes.

It would feature the generally unskilled-at-everything-but-complaining-loudly white guy (awww man, MORE stairs? We already went up stairs earlier!), a hassidic jew (Yahweh tells me to preserve life. *click click* BOOM HEADSHOT), a native american in full war regalia (crying at the sight of debris in a forest), and a black woman-- im thinking basically the one from the cartoon series Drawn Together. No quotations needed.

Its probably a good thing i'm NOT the one redoing the game.

Mabye the original survivors as some super awesome uber special infected OR being able to find other survivors (like zoey,Louis,Francis and Bill if they are not infected)

Technically zombies don't age...So they really can't "get old."

I'd expand the player cap to something like 6 or 8 per team, for a total of 12 or 16. Then maybe have a special event for the infected team where they can choose where to drop the witch or even the tank. More control to the infected.

Maybe use the Orginal Cast skins for the other 4 players.

Also I want the option to pick the orginal members in Vs mode.
