I agree with the naming sense in L4D2. The sequel to Left 4 Dead should be, "Left 2 Die" I think that would work.

That doesn't make ANY sense, since the 4 had nothing to do with how many games there were, it was a clever name and the amount of players you had. Getting rid of a 4 and instead having a 2 where the number is just the number of games, would completely come out of nowhere, since the 4 is now missing.Blood_Lined said:
They could have named it Left 4 Dead: New Orleans, or something like that.
But really, they shouldn't have made this a sequel at all, haha. Looking at it they could have updated the original...
Now while I agree that the game coming out so soon after the first one, and that is probably a bad decision for not only money reasons but also for fan-boy reason, it does however bring some decently interesting promise of things such as Hightened Game Director who actually changes the levels themselves, which make a zombie game that much more terrifying when you don't know how to MLG your way into every nook and cranny to help you beat a game or earn an achievement and ultimately losing your soul.So on top of changing the places special zombies spawn, and all that, they changed the levels which they spawn on, the time of day or night they spawn on, and that varies the different things they do. They have upgraded weaponry and characters, like every good and bad game share since the history of forever, and of course there has been speculation that there will be more aspects to the diversity of online play, rather than it being a simple tug of war on the aspect of who can be a bigger douche. I say it brings promise, but there is really no use in thinking about legitimate reviews until the game comes out and someone actually....er...Reviews it. Or your friends or acquintances play it. Til then, I wouldn't make any real decision, unless of course it is about Bioshock II, which will blow everything out of the water.
Ok, Valve decided not to release L4d2 as an update for several reasons, for one Left 4 dead is an easy game to make because they are reusing a lot of stuff from the original however it does not mean that it can be released as an update because of the new content they are shelling in. For example they are adding a gore skeleton to all the zombies and altering the AI director which involves a massive rewrite of code that can't be released as an update. Another reason is that while a PC can handle an update of the size necessary for it, the 360 has no where near enough room and Valve decided to rather than releaze to seperate ones they release it as a game. To those bitching about episode 3 needing to be released instead. Realize this, Half life 2 is an episodic game with a highly detailed story, of course its going to take a while to create the final climactic chapter of the game necessary to make everyone happy so please Valve take as long as you need to make it. Just look at their track record, they have not had a single bad game released in their 13 year history.
Finally to those who are boycotting L4D2 on the boycott group on steam, you may believe that you represent the left fof dead community as a whole but really you are only about 1.5% of it. I do applaud you for getting Valve attention but do you really believe that Valve a Multimillion dollar gaming giant is going to bend to your will. Personally, I will get left 4 dead 2 and enjoy it and I applaud what could be a new trend in Valve of pumping out games faster.
