So I've been thinking, Valve have stated that the SDK will work for both Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2. Could the modding community conceivably make the maps retroactive and port...
I'm just going to take a second and point something out here: namely, that I agree with this sentence. I said before that Valve is a great company. But even the best companies still slip up- it is inevitable. And I won't hold that against them. I'll still buy Portal 2 the instant it comes out...
Actually, it's ten months.
Don't really care about EP3 to be honest. Never even beat EP2. =/ (Though I plan to this weekend)
No, sir. The slap in the face is when your promised free DLC content shows up with a fifty dollar price tag in a brand new box.
I am a capitalist, I know Valve...
I copied this post from the one in the L4D2 section. They are essentially the same topic now. (Combine?? or no?)

Valve not committing to any new L4D1 content:
:rolleyes:
Fair enough. :p
But just to make something clear, everything in L4D2 can be put into L4D. Everything. It's non-disputable. The entirety of L4D was put onto steam. As will L4D2. I don't comprehend how people can think that it can't be done.
Fans have updated the original Half-Life 2 version of...
Mine is 4.79 gigs. Yours is large, I am guessing, because your folder includes the core engine (Orange Box I believe). Do you not have Orange Box installed? I am fairly certain the games share the same engine "download". Left 4 Dead is 5 gigs, plus the 2 or so that Source engine games share.
And yet you sit here and claim that the game will be worth it when you haven't seen nor heard everything there is to offer. We both know this is speculation, but the fact is Valve put out a playable demonstration of the game.
Right, who knows? I am going off of what they displayed to us. Was...
I have played it. It's called Left 4 Dead.
You're right, it wasn't the entire game. But neither is a demo the entire game. It's meant to demonstrate the game. They wouldn't put up a playable demo and walk around saying "Oh, by the way the final product will be nothing like this."
No doubt...
Do you disagree that Valve said L4D would receive additional content in the form of Movies, Characters, Weapons, and monsters?
I paid for the game with the knowledge that I would receive the above stated additional content after the game had been released (along with the SDK three weeks post...
I am let down by the lack of support for L4D1. And for the (very) late and unfinished SDK. Is this really what you wanted Left 4 Dead 2 to be? The same game with a content pack? I am not saying Left 4 Dead 2 should be as vast an upgrade that Half-Life 2 was to Half-Life 1, but the gameplay looks...
I joined the (poorly) named L4D2 Boycott because I believe their mission statement.
Will I buy Left 4 Dead 2? Absolutely. Will I pay $50 for it? No. I'll wait until I think it's priced at what it should have been: about twenty bucks (however long that might take). I am not some raving fanboy...
I don't want to come off as high and mighty, but if you can't get over the graphics in LFS then maybe you don't want a simulation that badly. It really is worth it if you can overlook it's shortcomings. (Namely, graphics and low speed tire physics.)
Yes, it would be better off as an expansion as opposed to a "full blown sequel".
What are all these reasons why L4D2 would not work as DLC? It sounds to me exactly what doug lombardi promised at E3...
"More weapons, more movies, more characters" etc etc....
