Wonderful trailer.

You know, I never really liked Bill, but this trailer made melike him a bit more now. That end bit of the trailer? Epic. Handing cigarettes to Zoey? Downright funny. Bill, you're pretty awesome now, in my book.

@2HeadedNinja I didn't say there was no narrative, just that it was never it's main focus. For example, most people know the backstory of the L4D 2 survivors from reading the description in the manual and to know the L4D ones you gotta read a separate comic.

I wish they'd make a zombie CG movie based on Left 4 Dead.

Man Bill has always been my favorite of the survivors, but it totally makes sense that he'd be the one to sacrifice himself. He's a warhero, he's selfless, he's badass and he's the only survivor out of both games who has real balls. God damn Bill is so awesome, I will miss him.

I've always rode my high horse that we need more characters in games that smoke merely as a thematic element. Bill is very high on that list.

Everyone saying "dude its bill", yeah we all played the passing, but that might just be a foreshadow that someone dies, in this actual campaign you may be able to choose. Why would they give you the 100% answer then bring out a trailer acting like its a surprise? They might not. I was always wishing the dead character had been randomized in that level, but maybe they ran out of time or something to do that?

Anyway where is the Midnight Riders expansion level!? I want that soundtrack sooooo bad, they ROCK! "suitcase full of pistols and moneeeeeey!"

Also for people asking if this will be free? Well PC is and Xbox never is... anyone who bought this game on Xbox instead of PC is a fool (unless you had to for some reason, but i doubt that would ever be the case).

There is an achievement coming with this DLC named Kill Bill, so yeah, it's Bill. I think you might choose to kill all 4 though, like you kind of point out. Oh, and Valve never runs out of time. They just make their own.
