I did notice the blood splatter for L4D2 footage at E3 was quite bright as if it was ketchup and not blood at all....FAKE!

Most of those points are pretty valid, for once.

I agree with these people. I'm not spending another 50 euros on a patch.

It's not often that a patch has more content than what it's patching though.

I'll probably buy L4D2, seeing as I avoided L4D altogether

They do seem like valid complaints though, it's definitely not seen the sort of upgrades Teef has, and replacing it after only a year is rather harsh.

I won't be paying $50, but I will definitely buy it.

It doesn't have much more content, I mean 4 new campaigns, a few new weapons, patched director, and a few new boss zombies? It's like some guy takes Harry Potter, rewrites the seven books exactly the same except they go to Cockwarts, Sweden instead and sell it as a brand new product.

5 campaigns isn't it?

That's no problem for Steam, but there's no way they can get that down the pipe to console players. I suspect this is a major reason.

Nah, Valve's been pretty much EA lately, they're trying to milk the franchise by abandoning the original one. Remember the dollar-to-euro thing.

Except they aren't abandoning L4D1...

BUBBLES RAGE!

If they're wandering why it's not as popular as it might be, they just need to look at their own forums.

All of this. They've been very slipshod and lacking on this game. Perspective wise they're far ahead in terms of quality and after release support, but L4D has been a low for valve. Portal got more support and it was a small physics sim/test turned into much loved game.

They must have wondered about the drop off on L4D, maybe they just ignored it to get this released.

I'll still get it, but I am disappointed in their actions and will wait for cheap version.

Wanna bet?

They've said themselves that there's updates for L4D coming still.

Fascinating.

So how about...

It was uploaded last week, yes, but it dates back to pre-release.
(it's the first part that counts, the second part is mostly youtube poop-style repeats and highlights)

So where are even the traces of new weapons, bosses, characters, or even MAPS Valve? (and no, Last Stand on Survival doesn't qualify as a map)

The only thing we got was a new gamemode with very little effort put in it and a beta map editor which is not yet supported by the game.

YES BUBBLES IS ANGRY AT VALVE. AGAIN.

Yes Valve is very slow at getting stuff out. I don't see why they'd completely abandon L4D 1 seeing as they're still updating TF2...

Hahahahaha! Oh wow. That's amazing.
