Sounds cool, but so soon?

Couldn't they have just released more dlc for the time being, and focus more on, oh I don't know, half-life god damn episode fucking 3?!

[Update: MaximumPC has (http://www.maximumpc.com/article/news/e3_2009_left_4_dead_2_announced_4_new_survivors_5_new_campaigns) more info. Some highlights include new survivors names are Nick, Ellis, Rochelle and Coach. Mission will happen in the daylight, Witch acts differently in daytime, stronger narrative, new boss infected called The Charger, one new game mode and more.]

And yeah Figgy, you're right about it being soon to announce it, but it could be a year off yet. Me? I'm hoping for this year though still, the sooner the better :D

The team was allowed to choose its next project and it chose Left 4 Dead 2.

Also it's out on Nov. 17

If the Charger also grabs hold of a survivor, he pile drives them into the ground repeatedly; the only way for the survivor to escape is for someone to help him. The Charger is not as tough as a tank, but he can take some damage. And while he's fast, he's not as maneuverable, so you can dodge him like a bullfighter dodging a bull. On a personal note, I can't tell you how many times the Charger caught me unaware from behind; one moment I was standing my ground and mowing down zombies and the next I was flying through the air. When a teammate yells out a Charger warning your head needs to be on a swivel. Then there are the hazmat zombies. These aren't special zombies; they're just guys who were in hazmat suits when they were infected. The thing is, though, they're immune to fire and incendiary weapons (more on that in a bit).

OUCH :'(

New Orleans?

Seemingly more interesting characters?

Melee weapons?

I'm sold. I don't consider myself a Valve fanboy, and while I like the Orange Box, Half Life, TF2, all the like, I can't see why a lot of people consider it to be the second coming of Christ. I personally feel that Halo is infinitely better than Half Life, but I'm not saying that I feel Half Life is a bad series by any stretch of the imagination. That all aside, L4D was great. I have high hopes for this one too.

Loved the first L4D, aside from a few minor complaints/worries that Valve wouldn't get their fingers out of their asses (as usual), so I'm looking forward to this one. I wonder if it's actually more like a story this time around as opposed to movie scenarios, though.

there are rumors that they will put all the l4d maps on this game as well.

i don't think it's too early for this game, though. i think they will make l4d2 like tf2 in that it will be updated a lot and add new features every few months or so.

they already announced 4 modes: survival, campagin, versus, and a secret one. they also said they have 2 or 3 more modes planned out for dlc already. sweet.

this game really needs LOUIS though.

There's a petition against L4D2 at the official forums. lol They cite these issues:

• Significant content for L4D1 was promised, and never delivered
• Valve put little faith in L4D1 since they almost certainly started working on L4D2 right after release
• The fact that L4D2 is nearly identical to L4D1 will decimate the community for both games
• The announced date is not nearly enough time to polish content or make significant gameplay changes
• The new character designs seem bland and unappealing so far
• L4D2 is too bright to fit in with L4D1's visual aesthetic
• The fiddle-based horde music is extremely disliked, though the differently orchestrated music is otherwise welcome
• L4D2's release will result in a drop in quality and frequency for L4D1 content, even compared to before
• The community has lost faith in Valve's former reputation for commitment to their games post-release

lol Gay.

#BROKEN Hasney

06-06-2009, 06:48 PM

For serious though, it's damned if they do or damned if they don't. If hands-on reports are to be believed, it feels the same but with a lot improved, more than a simple patch or even DLC usually provides and Valve have even said that there was a lot, in their opinion, unfinished about L4D and because Valve employees can choose their own project, they thought making L4D was so fun they're making a sequel.

Considering, like all their games, it's using Source and it is very based on the original L4D a year is plenty enough to fix, code and polish the original.

They've also said that because this is the fixed version, there will be a lot more coming out for this one compared to the original. If that's the case, brilliant. If it becomes a yearly thing (and I don't think Valve will do that) then I think it will eventually ruin sales and won't hold up.

When have we ever seen a year between Valve sequels? I, for one, am stoked that we're getting all-new stuff this quick.

06-06-2009, 10:15 PM

Your black friend races to pick the black guy? That's as lame as girls who only play with girl characters in games.

I heard the ESRB are making them change the cover of this.

June 17, 2009 - Take note, game developers. Even your swift marketing teams can't avoid the wrath of the Entertainment Software Ratings Board.

The Left 4 Dead hand that was first seen on the cover of the original game has since become somewhat of an iconic symbol for the franchise. So much in fact that Valve (http://games.ign.com/objects/026/026417.html) wanted to, again, include it for the sequel.

But instead of simply splashing the number 2 on the box, their marketing team got a bit more creative and decided to show the mutated hand with two more missing fingers.

http://media.ign.com/games/image/article/995/995690/Left4Dead2_1245266476.jpg

As seen above (via Ars Technica (http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2009/06/inside-a-shocking-banned-left-4-dead-2-image-lk.ars)), two other fingers besides the thumb were to be chewed off, showing the hand holding up the remaining two fingers.

The ESRB decided this was no good and asked Valve to change it. So instead, their new cover (seen above and to the right) shows the fingers folded back behind the palm, which apparently was more acceptable.

So why are three chewed off fingers more gruesome than one? I put in a request for comment from the ESRB and will give you the update when I hear back.

Update The ESRB responded, but wouldn't comment about this particular case. They did, however, point me towards their advertising policies found on their website here (http://www.esrb.org/ratings/principles_guidlines.jsp). - http://pc.ign.com/articles/995/995772p1.html

Not a big deal.

Mr. Monday Morning

06-20-2009, 03:08 PM

Are you fucking dumb? Yes

If I'm dumb you're clinically brain dead. The game playing behind him on the left is L4D. He SAYS it's L4D. The fucking BOX is right there for fuck's sake. And unless I missed something the original characters aren't in L4D2. So why the fuck would they be in the game that's being played behind him.

Hmmmmmm?

06-20-2009, 03:39 PM

I am completely flabbergasted at you right now. You cannot be serious

Posting this for not only what he is saying, but behind him is footage of the game that I haven't seen.

http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/696648/Sesslers-Soapbox-To-the-Left-4-Dead-2-Petitioners.html

Everything I have said there is true. There is footage behind him (10 secs worth) of L4D2 that I haven't seen yet. How are you even debating this?

You are just all over the place.

But hey, let's drop it. Let's extend an olive branch here.

From now on, no more posting new footage until the footage has been run through a hi-res filter analyzing the fact that the footage is indeed new. When making a post about said footage, make sure to run the post through spell checker 4 times. Then email a rough draft to a peer to make sure you did not miss any gramatical errors. Finally, send the post containing the new footage in a PM to MMM so he can verify that the post has gone through all proper channels. Once MMM has confirmed this, he will decide if the footage should be posted or not.

I agree with MMM here. It's time to start taking ourselves seriously and act as professionals. Typos will not be tolorated. Nor will grammatical errors.

Starting now.

Left 4 Dead DLC announcement by end of summer (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/07/02/left-4-dead-dlc-announcement-by-end-of-summer/)

by Alexander Sliwinski (http://www.joystiq.com/bloggers/alexander-sliwinski/) { 13 minutes ago } http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/001xbox001.png (http://xbox.joystiq.com/) http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/001playstation001.png (http://playstation.joystiq.com/)
http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/07/left4deadrunning580.jpg (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=218758)

Following up on earlier reports that Valve won't leave (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/12/original-left-4-dead-wont-be/) Left 4 Dead to die an early death, the company stated today that there should be an L4D (http://joystiq.com/tag/left-4-dead) DLC announcement before the end of summer. A company spokesperson also told CVG (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=218758) that about eight or nine months from now, when L4D2 has released and people see the continued support for L4D, they may finally understand the method to the madness (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/02/left-4-dead-2-will-last-much-longer-as-a-platform/).

We're all eagerly awaiting the epiphany.

10-11-2009, 10:00 AM

Okay so two of my people are going to be getting it, so it looks like I'm set. Now if RoXer1 will get it.

RoXer

10-11-2009, 10:46 AM

They're getting it at launch?!? I was just going to wait around Christmas or so since I figured you and your "regulars" would be doing nothing but playing MW2 the whole time which I am all for. Let them know that theres no rush to get this.

I mean I'll get it at launch too if that's whats happening but it wouldn't hurt to wait around a little bit if you want.

Perfect Dark will be out too sometime around there. Which is why I wanna finish bfbc. Fuck.

10-11-2009, 11:37 AM

I'm not going to let MW2 consume me like the first one did. I'll play through the story and "casually" play the online. I missed out on too many great things by being obsessed and spending all my time on the first one. I am feeling very liberated.

He talks me up so much in front of people, then we play a match of WaW and I'm in last place. wtf stop already. He has made up this "super player" in his mind and puts my name on it. Everytime he tells someone what rank in the world I was, it moved up and up every time. I was factually around 2000 (which is nothing), but last week I was "top 15".

October 15, 2009 - Valve has finally spilled the goods on the promised demo for Left 4 Dead 2.

The demo features gameplay from "The Parish" campaign, set in New Orleans. All the new boss infected zombies and melee weapons from the full game will be available.

Up to 4 players will be able to play locally or online on Xbox 360 and PC. The Xbox 360 version will also have two-player split screen.

Those who pre-order the game (at participating retails and Steam) will get early access starting on Oct. 27. Xbox Live Gold members and PC players who didn't preorder get the demo on Nov. 3. All remaining Xbox Live members get access on November 10.

I still play Left 4 Dead Single Player because I hate playing with people online. Usually it's me and my wife or me and a friend but, sometimes it's nice to just kill zombies and have complete control of my experience.

In the Dead Air campaign, in the first level, directly outside the saferoom there is a freezer with an "indestructable" door, I think a Tank could probably take it down but none ever came. I went in to kill a zombie and the other three assholes followed me in. A horde came and I closed the door. I love finding these little glitches/design problems by myself instead of online and then depriving others from finding them for themselves. See, you can fire through the door as long as the zombies are close enough. I killed 932 zombies while reading a book. I'm so OCD...I don't know how I found that entertaining at all.

I can't play multiplayer for a reason you can guess so I've been playing single player and I'm kind of bored of it already after a month of playing. I hate having to lead and go in first while the bots are behind me and it pretty much leaves me open to attack. Plus smokers, hunters and tanks seem to have it out for me.

Just invite a friend over. What I like about playing single player is that I get to control the pace and style of gameplay. I just wish you could give them commands and have them follow them. Sometimes I just want everyone in the room because hey, we're fucking due for an attack. I'd rather have a single door serve as a chokepoint for the fucking horde but noooo, Louis wants to stand outside and get fucked in the ass by a smoker/hunter combo.

Fuckers.

I play on the PC and I downloaded the game so I can't use Steam with it. And I have no friends :(

If I get L4D2 I'll probably just go around using the sword. What I enjoy is spawning objects and building my own fort. Fuckers still are able to climb everything and even if you do survive it's still a mad dash towards the safe room or boat/helicopter

Try the door from the Freezer I guess. A long narrow hall with a sniper rifle would probably work perfectly, especially with the occasional fence to slow the damn tank up. I wish the XBox version had all the cool modes to play with...

:(

I dunno if I'll be using any of the melee weapons, perhaps if I run out of bullets and don't have time to reload, other than that...I'm a very paranoid player.

What's even greater...

is that this is only a portion of the weapons that are available in the game. And large portions of the demo were cut, since this is only a demo. So the campaign in itself will naturally be MUCH larger.

Can't wait. :heart:

For those who've played it do you find it harder in any way? For example like the aiming or the zombies are faster and what not.

RoXer

10-31-2009, 03:25 PM

Not necessarily. The AI does a good job of knowing when to fuck you though. I was near the end when I had a Spitter, Charger, Smoker, Boomer spawn on me practically at once. That's my big complaint is that zombies are spawning/unspawning (after you shoot them it takes a while for them to "die") at a bad rate and I hope it's just a problem that occurs in the demo and not on disc.

Jura

10-31-2009, 04:29 PM

Yeah I saw how they slowly go down and you can't tell in the split second if you need to shoot them again or not and they are getting in the way of shooting other zombies.

Will probably pick this up when it gets cheaper, demo was ok but didn't really "feel" it as much as the first one.

Jura

11-05-2009, 09:41 PM

Just played this. Demo wasn't working until now for some reason. I think it had to do with the my Steam program.

I like the different weapons you can choose now along with the old. The shotgun is different now. There's recoil and you need to aim it well. The pistol is great. I don't like the characters as I felt annoyed whenever they started talking and the demo does feel really short. I'll probably get it later next year so i can try out all the weapons but I prefer L4D over L4D2 at this point.

Shaggy

11-06-2009, 01:58 AM

I did love picking up the frying pan and the sound it made everytime I hit someone. I pretty much walked around with only the frying pan for most of the demo and made my wife gun people down.

Jura

11-06-2009, 03:34 AM

Still not like the original but at the second safe house I killed all of survivors because I thought they would drop another pistol. They didn't. So I opened the door and threw a pipe bomb then injected some adrenaline and hacked about 20 zombies with the machete then took on a hunter and charger at the same time. The hunter went first then I fucked the charger up. Then just a lonely zombie was left. I stood on the Humvee covered in blood and there was no one left in sight. I felt exhilarated after wards but a little lonely.

Jura

11-09-2009, 08:26 PM

Figured out how to do stuff with the demo. Gave myself a grenade launcher. Texture is not there yet so it's just a purple/black outline of the weapon and only has one bullet so I turned on infinite ammo. Pretty powerful but creates smoke and you can't see the area you hit for several seconds.

Messed with the adrenaline to make it last almost forever plus give me faster speed and decreased reload time on machete plus increased the range. Then i went one on one with a tank. Had to heal once because all that wasn't enough since we were in an enclosed room but I got him.

Hunting rifle...I dunno. I didn't really notice any difference in yet.

The new military sniper rifle is actually not that bad though. It could actually even be somewhat useful in tough situations. It's not totally impractical anymore either. I mean there are better things you could get, but it's actually not that bad.

I go through phases. Sometimes all I want is a automatic shotgun, othertimes it's machine-gun and lately it's been all rifle/pistol work.

I'd like an AA-12 in-game, but I think it'd be unfair to the tanks.

Hunting rifle is pretty much the same. Military Sniper rifle is actually more powerful it feels like. Shotguns suck in this game compared to the first IMO. I prefer the pistols and magnum.

I've seen that also on Lock n Load and I hate that they use those kind of targets because it doesn't really show what it can do since the ammo it uses is better suited against living things. They should use gelatin dummies like on Mythbusters.

Dark Carnival finale is still a bitch, and even with good communication and prep, we needed two trys. And one guy still didn't make it.

I found it easiest to just grab the gas cans and toss them over the ledges near the car. Then just shoot up with a shot and speed fill the car with them. It helps if you play a lot of scavenge though too.

Just rented this tonight, and played through the first story (with the escape via a race car in the mall...). Pretty awesome so far.

A few notes: the game looks amazing, it's fun and I like the fact that they tied the "films" together. The only real issue is that so much stuff is going on at once you miss a lot. Also, the maps aren't nearly as intuitive as those from L4D.

I've yet to get a good look at the spitter, I've killed a few dozen now too. :(

Left 4 Dead 2 add-on 'The Passing' to feature L4D1 cast (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/12/14/left-4-dead-2-dlc-the-passing-to-feature-l4d1-cast/)

Not content with unleashing a full-blown zombie apocalypse, Valve has come up with the second most socially awkward event imaginable: inviting characters from the original Left 4 Dead to hang out in the sequel's first add-on. Bill, Louis, Zoey and Francis will meet with the stars of Left 4 Dead 2 (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/left-4-dead-2) in "The Passing," which Valve VP of marketing Doug Lombardi calls "the most important campaign in the Left 4 Dead story, as all the Survivors are being called together in one campaign." It's targeted for release in early 2010 on Xbox 360 and PC.

In addition to a co-op campaign (set in rural Georgia) and a new "co-operative challenge mode of play," The Passing will offer new content for Survival, Versus and Scavenge modes. Playing as the L4D2 cast, you can also expect to encounter a new melee weapon, firearm and "uncommon common" zombie.

We can't wait to meet up with last year's survivors again ... oh, assuming they really are still survivors.

My wife and I played this for a good week non stop for a while. Now it just sits and collects dust on the shelf next to a few other games of mine.

Never took it online but hopefully will get back to it soon since my friends are finally getting their xbox live fixed.

From http://www.l4d.com/blog/post.php?id=4397 :

http://www.l4d.com/blog/images/posts/060/the_sacrifice_poster_img.jpg

“The Sacrifice” is the prequel to "The Passing," and takes place from the Left 4 Dead Survivors' perspective as they make their way South. You may read the comic to find out the official version of events or this October 5th you may play the game to choose your own ending.

In "The Sacrifice" for Left 4 Dead, gamers receive the complete Sacrifice campaign with maps playable in Campaign, Versus, and Survival. There are 5 new achievements, a new style finale and plenty of places for devastating Hunter pounces.

For Left 4 Dead 2, gamers receive “The Sacrifice” campaign and L4D1’s “No Mercy” both playable with the L4D1 Survivors. This version also offers 5 new achievements. In the L4D2 version of “The Sacrifice” each campaign is playable in Campaign, Versus, Survival, and Scavenge modes, and both "The Sacrifice" and L4D2 version of No Mercy feature the Left 4 Dead 2 Special Infected, items, and weapons. Yes, Zoey with a chainsaw!

"The Sacrifice" will be available as two separate packages on Xbox Live for 560 Microsoft Points each and free to all PC gamers.

===

Fucking awesome that they're bringing No Mercy to L4D2. Was easily my favorite in the first one.

Just got the 360 version a few weeks ago and have been having a blast off and on. So glad they're still developing for it.

Zoey looks weird in the poster, though.
