I'm still uncertain. Valve have admitted they've effectively annoyed half of the L4D community, and they seem pretty convinced they'll continue to support L4D.
My ultimate (though admittedly unrealistic) hope is that they'll find a way to combine the two games in a CoH sort of way.

this is what I've said before
it's a very non-valve move, but then again, they never release games so closely together
I reckon they should just hammer a ton of updates into L4D, like they've done to TF2

Well, after a lot of time spent in the editing tools (about five times as much as I've spent playing the game!), I'm nearly at the point where I could do with a couple of testers for my latest map. Link helped me with my first map (which has been moved into a never to be accessed archive 
) but more than one might be a bonus - particularly someone who doesn't have HL2 or CS installed on their system - the reason being sometimes I'm not sure if I've grabbed textures from the wrong place now and then - it gets a bit busy. There's no pay , but I get around the UK a fair bit and if I'm ever in your town/village/city, I'll buy you a pint - so anyone in the Tyne & Wear area will almost definitely get one
So, if you'd like to help out, gimme a shout on my trust email (but put OCUK or L4D in the subject line, please!).
Initial testing is mainly about geometry, clipping, pathing and texturing. Although I can throw zombies onto the map pretty easily to make it more exciting for you - hopefully I'll be ready by the weekend - if the house move goes smoothly!

Does this mean I get one if you are ever around Kent?

Don't even joke about such things.
Just imagine.....
E3 2010.....
Valve announces......
Left 4 Dead 3......
World Implodes
Wouldn't put it past them tbh going by the lack of dlc for the current L4D and the impending release of L4D2, although the hours I've put in this game I will be more than happy to hand over another £30 for L4D2

Just wanted to say that I recieved a call today saying I was successful in my interview and that I'm hired for the position as tech support for logitech which means I can finally sort out a pc and I should be back in action in a few weeks at the latest. can't wait to start playing again!

Well, the map is nearly ready for testing - just lighting and nav-meshes now (and infected ladders). Unfortunately, I am no going offline for the next few days while I finish moving home. What a pain. At least I can work on map two if needed - nerdy fun!
On that note, if there is anyone who wants to contribute ideas, or has a crazy plan for a map they want to share, there may be a collaboration in the air

74 hours so far for 24 quid better value than any film.
Hopefully will get a lot more out of it too

I'm off to town later to go and buy this so I'll be on tomorrow. Should tide me over until L4D2 comes out, which I hope Valve actually support properly because when I bought L4D for 360 it was on the promise that the 4 campaigns would be supplemented with periodic DLC. All I've seen so far is a survival mode tacked on. But still, it's a fun game nonetheless. All I need to do now is get my 360 headset to work on my pc.

I've not seen anything official to suggest a discount.
