[Osak]

L4D2 owners will be able to play with others who have the original L4D1:

Soo... it will make a new update for L4D1 to play L4d2?

L4D1 owners will be able to join L4D2 owners server, thanks to an update by Valve.

Can L4D1 still play L4D2 maps?

Can L4D1 still play L4D2 maps?

I'm not really sure. Valve will announce the details the following year.

Winrar.

[Packer]

It'd be backwards compatible not forwards.

[Katamari007]

It'd be backwards compatible not forwards.

yeah, cause it would let l4d1 players play l4d2 for free D:

I am still unsure about L4D2, that is the fastest Valve has ever jumped on making a game, and a sequel at that. I mean what happened to Valve Time? It really does feel like every other game in the industry, playing off of an original success and making a sequel that will be ok, but not as good as the first.

I mean damnit, where's Half-Life Ep 3!?

[Dr.mario]

Or they could make a third left4dead and call it Left 8 Dead where all the characters meet up and kick some zobie ass!
Im no really looking forward to L4D2 its kinda failish in a way
Like....another game that made a really bad sequel

Seriously, they should have made HL2:EP3 before they even thought of a sequel to Left4Dead ._.

Bah you know what I meant. (Well you did obviously, you corrected me.)

I would personally enjoy it as more like a $20-30 DLC pack.

Though the new characters, I don't like that, the first four characters are perfect.
Bill, the old crazy guy that's good with a gun. Francis, the biker that cares for nothing but his own survival. Louis, the normal everyday office guy. And Zoey, the girl that um...runs or something?

Though I do like the whole day time. It makes sense for people to be traveling in daylight. No reason to travel at night unless you want to become one of the zombies.

[MtnDew]

loel.

I bet 40$ that this doesn't go through to the final release.

You know, they can work on more than one game at once.
