Poll: Left 4 Dead 2: Why? Why? Why?

[Daye.04]

how about just expanding on the original... more maps and maybe a few more character models...

But some of the point is that they have an improved AI, right? It's probably slightly harder to integrate that in a DLC.

I'm for it, since it sounds good, but I'm even more for HL2EP:3. But you know ... Since it's Valve, I've gotten used to having to wait ages for the next part

(...)[aside from half the new team being black {not racist}](...)

I'm sorry, but I have to ask: Why is that a bad thing?

I am bland. I have no opinion.

I must say - I'm impressed by your contributivity (Yeah, I made that up, so?)

 

[this_was_a_mistake]

I haven't even played the first one yet.

and if theres ever a left 4 dead part 2 it would be called "left 2 die 4 ever" or something with a 2

 

[razer17]

(What the hell happened to Episode 3?)
(And seriously, where the fuck is Episode 3?)
(And let us not forget, they're probably really busy making Episode 3!)
(Unless that game is Half Life 2: Episode 3, that would be okay!)
(AND GODDAMMIT VALVE!!! FINISH EPISODE 3!!!)

more or less this.
i dont have anything against it, but why is this out before episode 3, i mean this isnt really the type of game for a sequel.

 

[Bob the Average]

dude take a deep breath, knowing valve it will likely be a wile before left 4 dead2 comes out and by then they'll probably have episode 3 out. once again knowing valve there will be more incentive than a few maps and new guns to buy the game.

 

[sneak_copter]

I would have made Ep.3 first, then L4D2 straight after.

It's just not in the habit of Valve, but whatever. The more Valve the better.
Oh, and to fulfill my loyal duties as a fanboy:
VALVE IS THE BEST DEVELOPER EVER AND GABE NEWELL SHOULD BE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE.

 

[blood77]

This is really weird, I would have thought that they would have released an explanation pack for download and then some time after that go with the sequel. Well they are going to pay for this because it is going to be a low open sale for obvious reasons and hopefully will learn not to do this in the future.

 

[rockingnic]

Hopefully it won't become another Guitar Hero franchise... wasting your money on "new" games that could have just been expansions. The only improvement I see is the graphics, hopefully there's more.

First of all, let me make one thing clear: I have absolutely no disdain for Left 4 Dead 2. The only criticism I can make towards the game is...WHY?

The original Left 4 Dead (yes, now we have to call it "the original") is still hot off the shelves, and Valve announces a sequel?

(What the hell happened to Episode 3?)

I hope I'm not the only one who thinks this is a bad move.

(And seriously, where the fuck is Episode 3?)

Now, let's pretend for a second that people actually wanted a sequel this early; what new game mechanics do they have in store for us this time around? Nothing much.

We have new settings, new characters, new weapons and the ability to use melee weapons. It sounds more like an update to Left 4 Dead than an actual sequel.

(And let us not forget, they're probably really busy making Episode 3!)

And the title! Left "4" Dead "2"? From now on it should be a rule: you can only have ONE single digit number in the title of your game!

(Unless that game is Half Life 2: Episode 3, that would be okay!)

But I didn't make this thread just so I could rant about Left 4 Dead 2 (I'm writing a book for that), I made it so I could see what others think about it. Do you think it's a good idea? Thoughts? Questions? Random fanboy rage? Say it all with a comment

(AND GODDAMMIT VALVE!!! FINISH EPISODE 3!!!)

My thoughts exactly. WTF valve.

is it me or are valve seriously going crazy... it started with TF2 updates.

besides left 4 dead 2 looks like
Left: 4
Dead: 2
(4/6 alive)

 

[teh_gunslinger]

<color=white>On this.

Has that ever happened before Max?

As for the game; Hells bells! I've not finished with the first yet. I hardly find it the most important thing Valve could spend their time on.

 

[Slacker2000]

Remember everyone. This is a Valve game. If it's just a little better than the first, we're all in for a big treat.

p.s. Valve, Hurry up with the TF2 updates. Everyone who plays on the Xbox is becoming a little impatient...

[Valkyira]

L4D is good HL is bad plain and simple

 

[Zeke the Freak]

The HL2: eps are too short for me to give a damn about. i dont know why yall got your undies in a bunch over an hour long game when they're releasing a 4+(+replayablity) kickass zombie game with new game mechanics, levels, characters, story(?), weapons and super buff AI.

Plus, A GOD DAMN CHAINSAW!!! Hot hell inna handbasket, it also sounded like they had new guns! This is gonna be far more epic then the (dissapointing) HL2:eps.

 

[Galaxy613]

Maybe they got scared of Killing Floor and feel like they need to step up their game?

[TheDoctor455]

Okay, I do like the additions that they've made to the formula. Like new weapons, melee weapons, new zombies (hopefully a few new special zombies as well), an improved A.I. director (and hopefully improved friendly AI... seriously what the fuck is it with them and grenades... or witches?), the new setting looks pretty cool, and the new characters could be interesting. But I don't think this should be a sequel, this should be an update for a DLC.

Oh, and remember, it wasn't Valve that announced this, it was MICROSOFT.

I have a feeling that there was something in the fine print of the contract they signed with Microsoft so that they could put Left 4 Dead on the 360.
