Poll: Left 1 Dead (The Passing spoilers)

[MR.Spartacus]

It's an interesting premise that's for sure...but now that Bill's been confirmed dead it's doubtful.

You can actually see his corpse in The Passing, so yeah, that would be pretty fucking hard to explain, lol

You can take his gun too so...
Not that it matters which one they picked. After killing any one of them it means they won't be the stars of another one. Unless they come up with a new guy.
Edit: how about something for the first game explaining how they got that far south?

Oh, I hadn't thought of that.

Not that I expected Valve to recycle any of these characters for future installments, but still, that's pretty final.



OMG great idea for L4D3. What if one more original character died, and two of the new characters died, and then both groups met up after being evac'd to the same military base and then (of course) that base was overrun and they had to fight their way to safety yet again.

They could combine old team and new team into a new single 4 person unit, and those extra deaths would really add to the feeling of hopelessness.

If this were to happen (obviously I don't expect it to, it's just something I think would be awesome) I would hope it would be Louis, Zoey, Nick, and Ellis in the new team.

EDIT: I am SO turning this idea into a thread.

Sure but replace Nick and Louis with Francis and Coach. I dislike Louis and like Coach because of their color schemes. Louis tends to blend with the horde. Also, I hate Nick. If they release Garry's mod fer mac I'll try to make somethin' like that.

Bad idea. Why? Just Cause.

Does anyone here know how Bill dies though? There's supposed to be some DLC for the first game and it shows you what happened. Since I don't have the first game anymore put it in spoiler tags and tell me.

So I had an Idea for left 4 dead 2 dlc:

Spoiler

What about a short single player campaign starring Bill. Bill has supposedly died in between the events of the first game, and the events of the latest DLC "The Passing". But what if there was a plot twist and he didn't die?

My idea is that instead of dying he was just injured, separated from the group, and was forced to fight his way through zombies on his own. I think it would be very fun and interesting to have a single player DLC mission. It would be a dramatic change of pace from the traditional 4 player co-op format of left 4 dead.

In terms of gameplay instead of taking on hoards of Zombies you would take on just a few. However being old, and wounded they would put up much more of a fight. A lot of people have accused L4D2 of not being fresh enough. This mission would be a radical departure from the traditional 4 player gameplay. It would also allow valve to implement more survival horror elements and make for an interesting mission. I think this campaign should end by Bill meeting up with the rest of the survivors.


So, whats your opinion? Is this a good Idea, and if not; how could it be improved?

EDIT: Bill would be able to free himself from special infected through quicktime events.

EDIT: Sorry I spoiled the game to a few people. I personally haven't played the DLC yet and was under the impression that anyone who was on these forums knew who died already.

I like the whole alternative scenario for sure, I mean Bill was and still is my favourite charecter and I just hate to see him die! Anyways, I think it would bring a fresh twist to l4d2 unfortunately due to heavily based co-op and all, I dont think single player would work very well. HOWEVER, what if Bill was going to die....BUT at the last minute got saved by non other than midnight riders? Atleast, 3 midnight riders, since its left 4 dead after all. So yeah, I gues thats my improvement.
