One left 4 dead character will not survive the Passing

[Riobux]

I think it's one of the original L4D characters will be dead, none of the new L4D2 characters.

 

[UlteriorMotive]

If I had to hazard a guess at who will die in the Passing,

Well, in L4D1, the players playing make that choice, so yeah, whatever they want. (knowing some of my friends, they'll totally leave me behind, and I play Louis...fulfilling the complementary role of the black guy dying first...ugh x.x)

But in L4D2, they'll (most likely) choose Bill or Zoey as the one who dies.
They'd avoid Louis simply because it would appear almost contrite and a page out of every lame horror movie ever.
They probably wouldn't kill Francis off because the dynamic between him and Louis is really good in terms of how they interact with one another. That and he can sing about how he hates everything.

Bill just seems like a guy willing to do the honorable guns ablazing ending.
As for Zoey, I'd guess that if you absolutely HAD to eliminate someone, it'd be her. I'd doubt that though since people tend to like her a lot more than they liked Rochelle. But...If you rank it in terms of popularity, she's probably last of the four. Then again, I could be wrong, considering I doubt anyone's done anything conclusively in terms of measuring popularity (outside of maybe a Valve internal discussion)

Hmmmmmmm

Louis- I'de feel Racist
Zoey- I mean we have to start the repopulation minigame at sometime
Bill- Would be an epic end to the awesome that is...........Billiam of the Zombpocalypse.
Francis- bbbbbut he can't die!!!!!!

Final Verdict- Louis, because the black guy always dies first *drums*
But in all seriousness, this would be one of the hardest video game choices EVAR. I'de probably go with Francis. I would say Bill, but just imagine the children he would have. They would come out of the womb holding an M-16 with a beard smoking a cigarette.

Edit: To clarify, the baby and the M-16 would have beards.

Well, Bill is old, so he's gonna die first anyway..

But according to the cliché horror movie plots.Either Rochelle or Louis will die first.Because,you know,they're black....I did not write that rule.It's been around for longer then I have lived.

 

[Chicago Ted]

for the love of god, not Bill. he is so awesome

Think about it... Who is most likely to use the line 'You go! I'll hold 'em off!'

Not looking good for the 'Nam vet...

Wait, what about Coach though?

Oh yeah,I forgot him.I never played L4D2,so I guess that it's understandable.

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

Rochelle pweeees.

 

[Hallow'sEve]

Boy I sure hope it's Griff


.....wait, what were we talking about?

 

[Chummychanga]

Oh my god, that's a really hard question. I know it's not any of the L4D2 characters but if any of them die I'll be pissed as fucking hell.

But in all honesty, I think Bill would be the one to kick the bucket. He's older, and he's already lived his life. :/ (I love you Bill. ;

 

[orangebandguy]

Rochelle, I hope it's Rochelle.

I hate her, all the other characters are awesome but she can stay behind.

 

[UlteriorMotive]

Guys, bear in mind, only the L4D1 characters are in risk of one not making it.

Nick, Coach, Rochelle, and Ellis will make it regardless of whether you want them to die or not.

The ones in danger of not making are Bill, Louis, Francis, and Zoey.

 

[AkJay]

Well, it said that one of the originals will die, so Rochelle is out. I hope it isn't Zoey, or Louis, those are my two favourites. Bill and Francis can die. I hope there is a cinematic of them being eaten, that would be badass.

 

[microhive]

I sure hope Bill doesn't die but if he does I want him to die an honorable death.

Perhaps something in the line of this.
Quoted from a poster on Kotaku.

EXT. SMALL LOUISIANA TOWN:

Eight SURVIVORS flee a horde of ZOMBIES, firing their GUNS at them OCCASIONALLY.

COACH: [Panting] It's always running with these guys!

ROCHELLE: It can't be much farther!

ELLIS: Did I ever tell you guys 'bout the time my buddy Keith and I were runnin' from some wild boars? See, Keith had gotten this pickup truck, and filled up the back with cashews-

NICK: Ellis, is this really the time?

ELLIS: Sorry.

FRANCIS: [Under his breath] I hate Keith.

ZOEY: Eugh, this is ridiculous! They're supposed to be easy to escape! These assholes never follow the rules!

LOUIS: How do we even know that there's a way out of here?

The SURVIVORS find an abandoned house, climb onto it using a ladder, and then kick it down. They turn, finding the expansive HORDE is still on their tails. On the other side of the house is an equally abandoned TRUCK. It is out a FUEL and has a dead BATTERY, but the bloodstained seats contain everything needed to fix it. The heavy TRUCK is at the crest of a hill, and with some effort, could be pushed enough to get some momentum to escape.

NICK: We can push that truck down the hill.

ZOEY: That's thing's huge. We'll be eaten alive!

BILL, who has remained silent, finally speaks.

BILL: I'll hold 'em off. You get out of here.

NICK, ROCHELLE, COACH, AND ELLIS begin to climb down off the house and head for the truck, leaving the NORTHERN SURVIVORS on the roof.

LOUIS: You sure, Bill?

ZOEY: You can't! We need you! As soon as one person goes, the rest...

BILL: Go. You're runnin' out of time.

ZOEY and LOUIS share an uneasy glance, but begrudgingly climb down.

FRANCIS: Bill, I...

BILL: Get out of here, Francis.

FRANCIS: I hate goodbyes.

He hands BILL his PISTOL, before climbing down after the others.

BILL holds off the HORDE long enough for the others to get the truck moving, but is finally reeled into the midst of the HORDE by a SMOKER. Before he is completely constricted, he pulls out one PIPE BOMB in each hand, lighting them off the tip of his cigarette, before yelling:

BILL: BILL'S HERE!

Cut to the other survivors, fixing the TRUCK before looking to the distance and seeing smoke rising from the CRATER where BILL and the HORDE were.

Lol at people who think zoey has more character development than Rochelle. None of the characters are developed! Zoey is just what a girl gamer would look/act like so she is loved by valvites worldwide.

I hope she dies.

 

[aaronx83]

if it is the original l4d characters im doomed i love them
but i would kill the biker

 

[evilomega13]

I'm guessing it has to be a L4D 1 character as it takes place in the middle of L4D2 (No killing Rochelle, then :/), so if its going to be a L4D one character...well...
Not Zoey or Bill, I like them
Not Louis, can't kill off the only black guy.
Nice knowing you Francis X)

Ahem Coach is black too.

OT: Francis he hates living./sarcasm/In all seriousness Zoey must die

 

[Novania]

As long as its not Louis or Zoey. I always play as them and they have the best voice spamming abilities. But I hope Rochelle dies.
