Quote from Mr. Pinkus
Your are forgetting something

Valve made statements that they would have updates like the tune of Team Fortress 2, except maybe more frequently and larger updates.

This was said around the time of Left 4 Dead's release

Well, what the hell updates did we get before this new game was announced?

A survival mode which is very simplistic in design, and the 2 old campaigns tweaked into versus maps.

Wheres the new infected bosses they talked about for updates?

Wheres the new campaigns they talked about for updates?

I mean, we only just barely got the SDK officially released, just a few months before the new game is suppose to come out. That in and of itself requires modders and mappers to get the new game if they want their work to be widely available. Its just a hassle.

Plus, look at all the content thats been released since vanilla Team Fortress. More than the number of original maps, I think 2 new game modes, significant updates to (what is it, half now?) the classes, new weapons, and a bunch of tweaks.

What is Left 4 Dead 2?

More than the number of original maps, I think 2 new game modes, significant updates to the boss infected, new weapons, and a bunch of tweaks.

Give or take, there maybe a few different additions to both, but the updates to TF2 and L4D2 are really close together. Its just that one is released as a whole and could count as a whole new game, while the other is a sort of episodic update to an already existing and paid for game.

[SIZE="3"]And I think the worst ****ing part about all of this, is that we hear about a Left 4 Dead 2 before an Episode 3.[/SIZE]

Okay, fine, it barely applies to the definition of a storyline, what is your point? It doesn't have a good story, why are you trying to prove this? Left 4 dead doesn't ever impress anyone story wise, no one cares about that, so why are you so hung up?


Because, in the very start, someone else said "Left 4 Dead 2 will have a storyline" as if it was some grand new feature, and I reminded them that Left 4 Dead had a storyline as well, then you threw a hissyfit about how IT DIDUNT HAFF ANEEEE STOREE AT ALL.

It had a lot of backstory

Each character had their own story, but you never found out what they were; you just had to make them up (though hints are given, like Louis' clothing)

The campaigns were GOING to be interconnected to have an actual story, but the whining playtesters didn't like it so Valve ended up not doing it.

It seems like for L2D they're saying **** you playtesters and just doing whatever they want.

There was a lot of the background for the characters in the walk through book they sold seperatly, (i saw it in the local game store) & read through a bit. Background to all the special infect too.

I have the first one, and that became extremely boring after a while, but it's still a good game, and I'm most likely gonna get the second one.
