did you watch the vid?

I see 4 new weapons...

Axe
TMP
Glock
new shotgun

Not to mention the insenderay ammo.

Now these weapons may be similar to existing ones but how mny different types of weapons exist?

The new melee weapons will be entertaining for a few days but thats it, the new guns are just reskins and don't look like they have any different "feel"

I did watch the whole vid but I didnt see anything different from the first, now if they have say 10 - 15 different special infected things could be more interesting, but I have a feeling we will have the original ones and maybe 1 or 2 different ones

of course it depends on the new game mode as well
 
Well, just read Link's link :D to the shack news interview...the bit that annoyed me and I hope is wrong:

Shack/Valve Interview said:
Shack: What price-point should we expect?

Doug Lombardi: This is a full sequel.

Shack: So full price?

Doug Lombardi: Yeah. At the end of the day, this is going to be a bigger game than Left 4 Dead.

I know the price doesnt mattter for the amount of gameplay, but a whole new £30, I would expect a whole new game. Not 5 new maps and some new skins.
 
That video was AWESOME! Now dont get me wrong, when i first heard Lfd2 was coming out in Nov i was well angry/why so early? But the video's great for the simple reason its new stuff. I was ****ing my self through that, as if playing it my self so you can imagine how great its going to be in Nov.

Made me realise once you get to know the maps too well, it loses that 'feeling' of the unknown, that adrenaline rush i had at the start. Survivor mode came at just the right time but even now im starting to lose that feeling. I cant play the campain modes anymore havent done since update was released.


I want better textures, darker places with no lights, more zombies, more epic moments (plane crashing anyone?) & lots more maps!

Thats my rant done

Tbh would you prefer a company to do a Duke Nukem Fornever type of sequal or this? I know what I would prefer, although it does stink of EA type of updates.

I think we would prefer if Valve did what it said it would do even before L4D was released and produce this sort of thing as free content updates and not on the fly create double standards in the way it supports it's own products... if they had of done what they're doing here with TF2 we would all be playing TF5 or 6 now and be £150~ poorer.
 
I hope they'll release the SDK finally. I mean come on, only 4 maps? are we back in 1800 again... this game is really awesome gameplay wise but why not add more maps god sake
 
remember though guys its not due until november so they could/ should add more weapons/specials and others,

what i do find strange is the number of weapons in the first and hopefully not the second, now this is set in the states were it is your right to bare arms of any kind (no full auto i believe) so why just have an assault rifle, pistol and shot gun :confused: and bog standard ones at that give me dual desert eagles and a gpmg ffs enough with the crappy kid weapons, there should be allsorts of weapons on the ground in the first one due to the amount of soldiers you kill that have been infected but no weapons on the ground apart from the given areas
 
They're not even Desert Eagles my friend, they're 9mm's. Probably Berettas.

Desert Eagles would be awesome ,though.

Tbh I've thought about this lots....as long as I can still NOM link's brains when it's realesed then I'm actually quite happy!!

:(

I have to agree with knubje here with one small change (can you see it?) I'll be happy as long as I can still NOM Knubje's brains :D

The only thing that annoyed me was the possible abandoning of L4D (principle more than anything, if the sequel is any good I will most likely play that more anyway after it's release), but the interview seems to state that more work is to be done with L4D. Though part of me wishes they fixed more things with the first incarnation of the game first, I can see why they moved to make a second.

And as Kahn says, I'd prefer to see more sequels than a sequel that's never released.

And I can wait for ages for HL:Ep3 as I haven't even completed the first HL2 game yet, yet alone the episodes :D
 
same old stuff tbh only few minor changes and few new maps. they must be joking. if they released sdk for first one , we would have seen ton of new maps and content for free.

- Still same old source engine. It was getting old for L4D and although still looks great a new chargable game based on the same concept/engine as before?
Click to expand...

Graphics are good, not great, but when it's and extremely dark environment (and when you are covered in Boomer Bile) it doesn't matter as much. An improved Source engine would be more than welcome though!

- New characters & new weapons. Sounds like new/different skins for the existing models, which tbh is DLC material.
Click to expand...

New weapons are DLC since the mechanics are already in place. New Specials would probably mean maps would need to be re-balanced according to the new Special's skills, but this could probably be DLC as well.

- I don't think we will see any major updates now, I think with the announcement of the new game and the "Survivor DLC" being released ~last month, we can officially expect jack ****.

I'm confused why people are so sure L4D will no longer recieve updates.
Click to expand...

If we take the timing and nature of this new game as a sign that Valve have are whoring themselves like EA do, then our fears might be realised. But I'm not ready to write them off yet... though I don't see how they can possibly put much time into the game with their dev resources spread so thinly...

A year does seem a little too soon though. Surely next March we won't be hearing about 'L4D 2010'??

give me dual desert eagles and a gpmg ffs

never said they were bud i would love dual 50cal pistols :D in l4d2 they are a popular pistol in the states so stands to reason they would be some around in a situation such as the undead coming back lol
 
I'm pleased about this. When I finished L4D I wished there were more campaigns. This delivers that, and I hope it doesnt cost too much. Consider it like L4D:episode 2
 
Seems that from the interview I mentioned previously Valve did say they would be updating original L4D still, however, I will believe it when I see it.

And I don't mean poxy littlte "Updated this tiny bug that no one knew about anyway" kind of updates. I'm talking something decent and new, whatever that may be :)
 
Maybe they're scared people will think of them as the 3DRealms - so they're releasing 13 products a year now, instead of none every 13 years.
 
Bit moot about this but will see how it pans out.

Basically looks very similar but with reskinned weapons.

Not sure the characters look as good, but good to see the black man in there or I wouldn't have a player to be.

Really they need a dude in a wheelchair to cover all equal opportunities ground, just like the Ghostbusters cartoon did.

Old person, black person, younger person, woman, disabled person. Everybody is happy. They could even give them a mental melee attack by running zombies over and give them some mental Grease-esque chopper spinners.

We'll see how it pans out.
