Looks like Valve has decided to make a sequel to the ever popular Left 4 Dead.

A Virus went down to Georgia...

Looks good... especially Melee and incendiary bullets...

P.S My bother will probably get this, he loved the first one...

Im not getting it unless it has the original characters in some playable way.

if it has more then 4 levels and a BUNCH more weapons, then i will consider buying.
but for now, i will wait for further information of L4D2.

it has 5 campaigns and heaps of new weapons, like the chainsaw and frying pan in the trailer

I want more pistols... and less military weapons, like the M16. If you're supposed to be these survivors, military weaps really don't make sense unless you're near a military base or something... that's what I didn't really like about the first one.

And the pre-made safe rooms made sense? Let's face it, even if there were a virus like that and there were tanks, witches and such' then there would be no supplies for the survivors... I mean how many times in L4D did they go into a gun store to get the guns? no, they found them lying in the street...

P.S don't get me wrong, I like L4D; it just makes no sense though :grin:

It was good gory fun, but I do like it when they actually incorporate some sense and logic to games... for what it was, it was very entertaining. I just stated my nitpicks is all. :P

Hmm... I hope there will be more playable campaigns for versus mode. That was kind of a let down with only two campaigns available (did they change that yet?).

As for more weapons, eh, I dunno. They got the basics covered already, not really much point in adding all new types of weapons to it if they ultimately are just another take on existing weapons.

I guess if they were statistically identical and were just added to give some variety to what you see, that'd be fine, so you don't have to worry about getting the absolute best weapon out there, just the weapon type that suits your play style.

As for the weapons not making sense, what doesn't make sense? People legitimately own fully auto assault rifles all over the U.S. (except for in Michigan, California, and probably a few others). I suppose it makes more sense that the weapons remain on the table after you pick one up...?

A for the addition of melee weapons, I'm always a sucker for a chainsaw, but when you introduce powerful melee weapons into a survival horror game, it starts losing the sense of survival and horror if you can just swing a bat and take out the bad guys.

I personally feel that the survival horror element of the first game was done exceptionally well. It truly feels (to me anyways) like a good zombie movie as you play through it.

I have my reserves about this, but I will definitely try it out once its out. Looking forward to it, but hopes aren't extremely high.

I hope I am surprised. :)

In the first one? Yeh, the survival pack added Death Toll and Dead Air to Versus.

Well my main beef with the weapons is that the logic behind having the table of weapons kinda... kills the idea of survivors. But eh, the game did really have a comical feel to it, or at least to me.

TAAAAAAAAAAANK!! Where's that goddamn Molotov!?

On the table to your right :grin:
if they were as strict as can be (and therefore realistic) the players would get mullered from the word "go"

P.S I loved Ravenholm in HL2, using whatever props came to hand (mainly buzz saw blades)

So... I'd actually have to use true tactics? WHOO!!

You should try playing Far Cry 2 on Infamous mode the whole way through the game. That game basically has you set to die in that mode with the damn Post Office... too many snipers there...

Totally awesome. Its made from the same creators as Half Life, Team Fortress 2 and Portal. It has you in a city surrounded by massive amounts of zombies, or you can play Versus and be the zombies.

Or i could save my breath, and you could read the wikipedia site i gave you. It links back to L4d in some way.

I mean that the players would start dead as they would not even survive the starting video...
Anyhoo going off topic here...
L4D2 looks good :grin:

P.S I wish I had L4D on my PC... then I could use them in Gmod (I got it to kinda work)

i got it to fully work, except the survivors sometimes crash it.

Some new info added to the wikis and news sites.


It will have day/night cycles.

The witch sits and cries at night, but during the day wanders around.

That is harsh... so if you are low on health you have to hide until it gets dark (or play properly and go for it).

Raziel

P.S or is day/night levels?
Author:  deadly_game [ Thu Jun 11, 2009 3:09 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Letf 4 dead 2!!!
I would say it would be a cycle, not day and night levels.

This might mean some campaigns may last over a week game time.

Post subject:  Re: Letf 4 dead 2!!!
you know what i would like to see in Left 4 dead 2?
a third weapon rank (found on the Standoff finales) , like a M60 or a M249 SAW for the assault rifles and a Pancor Jackhammer or a USAS 12 auto shotgun for the shotguns class. and also, alongside the battle rifle, a six shot grenade launcher for long range crowd control, but the disadvantage is its uselessness at close range and low reserve ammo pool, forcing you to rely on your pistol and teammates. i would also like to see a flamethrower that when you pick up, you automatically use and cannot be reloaded and found on random parts of the map. and, pistol upgrades too, like a different, more potent gun found halfway on a chapter.
also, the US military as friendly's but turn hostile when attacked by Infected.
also, Katanas.

have you seen the footage of the combat shotgun? its a SPAS 12 instead of a Benelli M4.
there both Italian anyway.

i think a score counter would be neat, Racking up combos and medals.

The military may have a role in the new game, as the jets flying overhead indicate some form of military is still kicking.

Anyone else notice i spelt LEFT wrong in the title? Can someone fix that?
Author:  Glosmostinex [ Sun Jun 14, 2009 1:31 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Letf 4 dead 2!!!
Yeah, I noticed :P

I think that you can fix it by editing the first post and changing the subject.

And BTW I'm not liking the SPAS in-game. I think that the folded stock is ugly.

but the new sniper... Holy hell it's amazing. the new pistol too!

You could just edit the first post to access the ability to modify the thread title, but I did it for you anyways.

but thats what i like.
i mostly turn off the music and hook up my ipod to the IN port and play stuff like Techno, trance, UT soundtrack, Feuer Frei by Rammstien (rather fitting in left 4 dead i must say.) or Clubbed to death by Rob Dougan..
so the Assault Rifle is an FN SCAR and the Battle Rifle is a Scoped G3. nice.
i kinda miss the Bennili M4 and the UZI . :(
