We're also going to see a deeper co-op mode and an advanced AI Director which will now be able to change the weather, world objects and pathways in addition to changing the enemy population. Yeah, 364 days after the original. Valve, why? Feeling generous? Karf is a respectable human being. http://i.imgur.com/MTVw5.png Thank you, Mr. Pelican. |

Why the hell would they release a full fledged sequel only a year later? Â What was wrong with the first one or doing updates? Â Hell, paying 5 bucks for new maps and weapons would've been more than cool. Â Does this mean they thought that the first one sucked and it's not worth continuing?
Well since they are doing it, I hope they really revamp the game. Â Twice the weapons, bigger teams, maybe multi-pathed levels. Â There's alot more they can add to make the game to make me want to play it more after the initial run through. *EDIT* And it looks like they are doing alot of that, though hopefully there are more gun options also, cause melee weapons are just okay. |

RPS has a preview up. Sneaky bastards.
It looks sweet though. New characters, new locations, better director, new melee and new guns, variable map layouts, weather, day maps, new infected, less hiding in closets, etc. They haven't said anything about matchmaking though... The site is slow for me, so here's most of it in case someone else can't access it. Quote:Left 4 Dead who now? No one was expecting Valveâs next game to be a sequel to 2008âs awesome co-op zombie shooter, Left 4 Dead. To answer your immediate question: Yes, this is a completely new game, with new characters, in a new location, with new zombies, new weapons, new twists, and an improved Director, in five completely new campaigns set in the Southern United States. This isnât more maps for the previous game, itâs a brand new game, and itâs due this November. We snuck into Valve HQ ahead of Mondayâs announcement and played a full campaign, and at first glance much appears to have evolved.

Quote:Introducing the AI Director 2.0, L4D's dynamic gameplay is taken to the next level by giving the Director the ability to procedurally change weather effects, world objects, and pathways in addition to tailoring the enemy population, effects, and sounds to match the players' performance. The result is a unique game session custom fitted to provide a satisfying and uniquely challenging experience each time the game is played.If that's the case, a sequil would be nice. Changing the paths and weather along with having many more campains than the original (couldn't even release all 4 versus maps at launch) would definatly make the game more worth it. Either way, it's Valve. I'll buy it. [table][tr][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr][/table] 2.4mb sig ã(ಠâ¿â¿à² ã)      (â¯à² â¿â¿à² )â¯ï¸µbıs qɯ4Ë2 |

They should sell it for full price, but you should get half off if you already own L4D. I'd pay $25. I hope they improve the matchmaking/server system though.

Honestly, one of the coolest things about this, imo, is the location. The South is the ideal location for this type of thing, I think. It should have shitloads of atmosphere.

Well I like what they are adding. It might actually have replay value now. Sucks that this pretty much means they think that L4D was inferior and not worth updating with the new stuff. I love that they are adding a new batch of guns, incendiary bullets, fire proof zombies, a new set of infected (Hopefully means big versus matches or no more getting shafted with being the Hunter 3/4ths of the time...man I hate The Hunter), and the AI Director will actually mix things up for once.

I'd take L4D2 over Episode 3 unless they actually do something amazing with it. The previous episodes were played once and never touched again aside from checking out commentary :-\ |

If this is full price, hell no. L4D was hardly worth $50 in of itself. So a "sequal" that reuses a lot of the same technology/assets should HELL NAW be full price.
If this is $20-$30, then I think it's pretty worth it... even if it is for a sequel this FUCKING soon |

Probably because L4D sold very well on 360 and that audience is much more... "receptive" to quick sequels. Â It's a smart move from a financial standpoint for Valve, and it's a game that works a lot easier on that system (not saying it plays better, just saying it works well with the XBL friendly matching system and all).
