im lookin forward to this ,i never got # 1

I hope they continue updates for Left 4 Dead one. I expected more than match making updates.
mussbus999on June 4, 2009 at 8:04 a.m.
I don't know abou this yet...

Never got the 1st one I think there needs to be more levels in this one.
McPaperon June 4, 2009 at 8:10 a.m.
@Meatsim: I believe there are 4 campaigns like the last one. Thats what I read.

I always wanted to get the first but it seemed like the kind of thing that wouldnt work with randoms on the internet (lack of coordination and whatnot), and im the only with of my friends with a 360, so I never did... can someone confirm or deny that the game works well with just random players, so i might look forward to the sequel or not?
Vorbison June 4, 2009 at 8:19 a.m.
Slowly convincing me that a sequel was a good idea... but still disappointed with the lack of map updates with the first one.
Naughtonon June 4, 2009 at 8:19 a.m.
@McPaper: I'm pretty sure they said there would be 5.

@Rhaknar:

Forget the random players, i thought it worked well as a single player game alone. though some people will argue that.

See this is why im excited for L4D 2, and one of the few people for that matter. This solidifies why i thought they were doing a "sequel"

I think Valve did a piss poor job of getting across the "added value" sentiment for L4D, which was it's replayability.  If anyone has ever played CS or CSS, you know what I'm talking about, but all I hear from people is the lack of content in L4D.

I played the shit out of L4D, and got more than my money's worth, so I can't wait for L4D 2.
frenchdorkon June 4, 2009 at 8:21 a.m.
they should have called this L4D: Episode 2
SunKingon June 4, 2009 at 8:23 a.m.
Glad to hear about the 4v4 matchmaking they're developing atm for L4D 1. Also, I'm slightly optimistic over what he said about integrating the two games.

*laughs!*

"NEVER!"

If I buy a game, I feel it needs a strong single player campaign mode. 60 dollars for multiplayer just won't cut it for me. I don't always have the time to jump into a multiplayer game that I can't pause, in fact, that's very rare. I played the first game, but only rented it, and was not at all sad that I sent it back a few days after I received it.
PapaLazarouon June 4, 2009 at 8:47 a.m.
Shoulda been L4D DLC rather than L4D2
Death_Unicornon June 4, 2009 at 8:48 a.m.
I'm down.
Aaoxon June 4, 2009 at 8:55 a.m.
I don't know what's going ahn.
Mars_Clericon June 4, 2009 at 9:02 a.m.
I still haven't got the first game, thinking about it now though
Luthorcrowon June 4, 2009 at 9:06 a.m.
Best news of the show.   Particularly that you can still play the old maps on the new game.   L4D was by far the best MP game of the last year.  The New Orleans setting is inspired.  DAMN I can't wait for this to hit the street.
