a scene where they go into the safe room and it's filled with blinking computer screens..that say "downloading Episode 3.. %45 done) and it has a progress bar and it keeps resetting itself..
that would be a nice way of VAlV3 saying
F U to the people waiting for Ep3... *evil laughter*
Or hearing a survivor (like that douche at the church safe house) talk about how cool playing L4D on his PS3 is..and then you hear a zombie scream and then you hear the guy scream..
Features?
How about break-able objects so I'm not stuck on just one path to the safehouse? I want more of a sandbox style game..not a rail shooter or platformer..save that for the Wii owners..
Drive-able vehicles?
grappling hook?
better explosive objects?
the ability to electrify zombies by getting a power line into a pool of water on the floor..like setting a trap with 2 survivors filling up a tub with water and the 3 survivor breaking a main line on a fuse box and dropping the live wire when the zombies break down the door..
The ability to open gas mains on the outside of buildings so you can effectively block off a path by tossing a molotov near it when it's shooting out gas..and having it effect the rest of the area around..like manhole covers on the sewer system shooting up from the force of the explosion..and the resultant noise attracting more zombies..
Small propane torches so you could weld a metal door shut..and to reinforce it,get metal strips from say a metal bookcase and have a survivor weld the door shut and reinforce it..
electric cars scattered around the area..and the ability to switch out the dead batteries for good ones and being able to use it as a transport car..
Searching bodies so you could find a remote start for a vehicle and use it as a diversion.
Light Machine Guns..like the M249 SAW with 200rnd box mags and even say..50 or 100 round loose belt ammo..
Plenty of other ideas but I'll stop here.

a god zombie. one noone can defeat unless you had all 4 people. but it would only come out in about a 1/1000 chance haha. meh not great at all huh?
mk lemme try again. a zombie that can control flames and had a knife coming out of his arms. but their not knives their bones kinda like the whole wolverine thing. meh I dunno. I'm crappy when it comes to making characters.

The first sounds very interesting, but it might be hard to always find people to do the work instead of shooting on the internetXanadu84 said:
I guess it'd work though.The second, I can only agree - I like the original cast a lot. "I hate train tracks"
I would have a 16 player versus mode 8 survivors who play as Francis, Zoey, Louis and Bill plus the 4 new guys and 8 special zombies (maybe more), get rid of the stupid highlight thing for the survivors, people do NOT have x-ray vision and probably have that the normal
crappy zombies playable in verse while you wait for the Special infected to respawn.
oh, and get rid of the stupid "kill the zombies kill" story and lugging around chainsaws instead of guns that is going to ruin L4D2 and go back to the "lets plan on using teamwork to survive the hordes" which made L4D1 great.

I would want more...flexibility in player numbers. like vs mode was really stupid with anything less than 8 players, or higher difficulty campaigns with bots..well it sucked.
But the one thing I want most: valve keeping their promises and adding content. Those 4 campaigns (and only 2 for versus!) became boring SO quickly. And f*** the AI director, all it did was giving me another ~2 times to play a level before it became boring. I really loved the game, was great to play with friends, but the lack of content really made me regret buying it.
Also as an added feature : better "campaigns": Say you have to get from one town...to another on the coast, and you only got so many days. Now you can just travel over the countryside (which would be easier, less zombies, less hiding places...but then again no safehouses), but sooner or later you will have to restock your supplies, since you wont find many outside of cities (could be guns, first aid, maybe even food and water). You could even make it like TF2: you can load (a limited amount of) supplies into a shopping cart, and then push it around. Maybe the one who was pushing the cart could not even fight (could restrict that to highest difficulties maybe). You could force the players to abandon the cart when they meet an obstacle to add suspense (like a tunnel full of cars, we had that sometimes, no way you're pushing a cart over that.
Once again, I loved L4D, but i hated Valve for the lacking content.

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?

How about those who bought it over Steam? They have no solid copy of the game.
really though you can't add any new kinds of guns becuase there all so balanced but they could add different varients to each kind of gun.akmarksman said:
for example lets say you had a smg and you find a scope in a looted gun shop and you duct tape it to you gun, now you have a mid-range suppresion weapon and an up close panic weapon.
also ro new explosives...
a "saving private ryan" style sticky grenade made of a sock full of explosives more powerfull then a pipe bomb covered in motor oil that could be used to kill tanks. just run up behind him stick it too his back and watch the chunks fly... or atleast stun him.
and/or add a remote mine made of some kind of container (paint can,coffee tin) full of explosives with a mechanisim on to activated by a gerage door opener. this would be great for stunning tanks or for creseando events.
and finally a remote controlled car with two or three pipe bombs strapped to it that one player contols while the others defend him. could be great for once again killing tanks or flushing out hidden hordes.
just torrent a copy if you want it so bad. fyi, i live in canada, the land of legal torrents (insert evil laugh)somelameshite said:
i agree, add vehicals but mak it bad ass
for example the three people not driving can shoot and infected can jump onto the car. tanks have the ability to throw cars an if the doors are shot off WAIT! add vehical damage so if you shoot a door enough it will come off and you can blow holes in the roof. also make different cars different
example: make convertables blisteringly fast but smokers and hunters can gr people easier.

I would add Zoey, because she was hott... That's with TWO count them T's.
And I would add Louis, because we just called him Old Man Rivers for the hell of it. Hell just name him old man rivers.
And I would also add the token black dude back, because with out him well the game is just racist. And besides what is more funner than linching a black dude with a rope, I mean tongue.
Ya I would add in the old characters except Francis never liked that name.
ADD A F'IN CHAINSAW... Screw the axe CHAIN SAW come chant with me CHAIN SAW CHAIN SAW CHAIN SAW, okay I only hear my self chanting.
