I hate this. Should have just released more content in updates. Many people don't even have the first one.

What do ya'll think?

already been posted.

10,000 people already decided to boycotting L4D2 because they promised to update and support the first game as much as they support TF2 and they are already making a L4D2 so people assume that they are finished with the first L4D.
Which is funny because if it had been InfinityWard, or EA they wouldn't have cared, InfinityWard have alread anounced CoD7 and they haven't even made Cod6 MW2. The problem is Valve have set such a high standard, and the fans feel betreyed when they see Valve's other successful multiplayer (TF2) getting updates and patch etc, and feel almost no effort being put into L4D.

Which you guys probably have heard of, but I thought it was interesting.

I have no problem with it(except that now so many good games are coming out in the same time range, I'll never be able to afford all of these )

Anyway, the first L4D was basically an "experiment" and this one would be more like the final product.

Well yeah... Valve has a history of being extremely good to its fans. The thing that bothers me is not having to pay for it. I'd be perfectly happy to pay a 10 or 20 dollar fee for the upgrades that L4D2 is going to bring. However, a full, $50 price tag, is simply too expensive for what looks to be very small changes to core game mechanics, in such a short time.

The only reason I continue to buy other game series' is because their release dates are adequately spaced out, and much of the time, they offer a continuation of some kind of narrative. I'm a sucker for storytelling in games.

Valve is releasing what Left 4 Dead should have been from the beginning, for a full fifty dollars, and breaking apart the community.

Left 4 Dead is a whole different kind of game. It is, at its heart, a fully online game. Fully online games are supposed to be continuously updated and, even if for a small fee, added onto with map packs and the sort.

This made me laugh. I've still got withdrawal symptoms from the long awaited Half life Ep 3!

My reaction to this:

"What's this? Valve releasing a sequel in less than 6 years of the original? Blasphemy!"

Yeah, the time they make us wait for episodes is really becoming... wrong.

It's really not Episodic content at this point. Still, this is the final episode (after this they'll decide whether or not to do more episodes, or make half life 3)

So I guess they're just making it as epic as they can. That or they're too busy working on L4D2

Man I really do hope they make a Half life 3. Episodic content is great, but there's nothing that can beat the grand campaign of Half Life 2, from the sprawling swamps to zombie infested towns and the epic finale in the city. And more in between.

There's really so much more they can do in a full title. Although I admit the story has gotten much better in the episodes. I'm sure you'll have no trouble remembering Alyx's run in with the hunter.

The thing is, L4D2 has a new engine entirely. It's not the same old source engine.

Really!!!

Link plz

dude, LOOK at it.

That is NOT source.

If there is a new engine then they obviously can't just give L4D1 an update and make it the same game.



This is going off info that NT presented though, so im not sure how reliable it is.

dude... it looks just like every other source game ever made. If it was a new engine, they would have said so. They would not have kept quiet about the first time they've used a new engine in a DECADE.

It is source.

Dude, when was the last time you saw source to realistic model decay?
