Not much, it would probably take a year or two before any new game comes out, well probably more now he works for Valve

I've always felt Valve have released games rather promptly, never seemed to be waiting that long for their releases.

Yeah, you're probably right. I hope we don't end up with divided communities further down the line though.

In comparison to Blizzard yes, compared to everyone else, not really

They'd have done well to delay that one considering it's basically just reskinning the characters and adding in a few maps and weapons before punting it out the door for £25 a piece.

yeah they're changing the box art as well.

And sticking in three more weapon models and the three soundfiles that goes along with it.

I mentioned the weapons

I sense L4D2 bitterness in this topic!
I'll have you know they also changed the voice actors!

regulus · 5 Oct 2009 at 22:44

I'll still pre-order. At least with Valve you wouldn't have to wrestle 2 days to get the game working properly only to find out it's crap anyway.

As mentioned before, it won't come out for another year or 2 and hon should be out by the end of the year.
