Actually I was planning on buying the first one as well. I'll buy it in December though when I've got the time to play. The PC version that is.

@eroticfishcake:

Yep buy it, and we'll play together...

It would be cool!

Hmm, not sure. I am too into Left 4 Dead 2 right now to load it up. I wonder if it feels dated or something now. It will be hard to get used to no melee weapons and such.

@Vito_Raliffe:

I never played left 4 dead 2, though i believe it will be a little sad to have that limitation, but i like the first ones maps better.

The new maps don't really grab my attention.

@Jeust: Oh I plan to...that is, if I can find a copy of it somewhere. I'll look next week after college. I'll give you a shout when I do.

@eroticfishcake:

Ok! But do it if you want it too, don't let me drag you into this... It would be unfair :)

@Jeust: Oh no. I normally don't play mulitplayer games much but I gave it a shot on a friend's PC (playing with bots) and I found it really fun. I figured it'll be cheap by now so I thought I'll get it anyway. Don't know if I can actually get it next week since I've already spent most of my money on nature documentaries but after the end of this month, money shouldn't be a real problem.

@eroticfishcake:

When you can... :)

I don't like multiplayer games very much either, but this one is different, and it is cool to play a little bit.

Having a different story each time to tell, stupid mistakes and cool happenings. :p

I have no doubt that the old maps will be ported to the new game.

@torus:

Don't know really... even because it means a good deal of extra work that i don't think valve programmers are to thrilled to do.

You don't need Valve programmers to port a few maps. It could be done by a few guys in their spare time.

It's not a question, I'm aware of people already working on this.

The old maps have been ported already, but there are a lot of problems, and you will likely encounter a lot of crashes. I saw it posted around some larger news sites today, but I don't feel like looking for the article right now. Here is how you can though if you don't mind doing some work and know how.

@Vito_Raliffe: thanks :)

But for now i'll stick with left 4 dead 1.

It's amazing lol

I'll get back to the original eventually. I can't ignore that crew of pill poppers.
