Funny fact: the APC in Blood Harvest leaves when there are no non-incapitated survivors outside but doesn't care when somebody inside is incapitated nor that there's hunter shredding the only person inside it. The army is in for a nice suprise when they get back at the base.

I think the pilot from Dead Air has an even nastier surprise midflight when the Tank rips a hole to his plane. I've seen them boarding the plane a number of times.

Patching this would be a pain to the Survivors as being inside/on the plane/boat/APC you have pretty much no chance to beat the freshly spawned Tank that's trying to come along for a ride.

Also, why there isn't any even Versus quick matches? and especially without cocky idiots?

EDIT: Woah, anyone seen these Left 5 Dead pictures, they're cool.

[ToonyMan]

Those art cool.

[Cthulhu]

Dumb name, I bet the fifth is a Mary Sue.

[mainiac]

There is a lot of movie potential though.

[Neonivek]

One interesting fact (Well not fact...) about Left 4 Dead is this

Zombies Vs. Humans is likely originally supposed to be played on the equivilant of "Hard Mode"

In otherwords the Zombies were meant to murder the Humans almost every time.

[ToonyMan]

Which will happen if you are on a disorganized team.

[Nilocy]

Yup, and those photos look good. Bar the stupid 5th guy.

[WorkerDrone]

Is that a Pirate?

What...the fuck.

[Cthulhu]

Chicago Ted perhaps?

[umiman]

Chicago Ted is a cowboy. Not some stupid pirate wannabe who doesn't even have a proper hat.

[WorkerDrone]

Agreed.

[Asehujiko]

Why can't you just jump backwards off a ledge and grab someone?  If you get melee'd back, you're too stunned to smoke someone...

Jumping disables your tongue untill you land and melee stuns last quite short if you weren't strangling anyone at that point.

I'll resurrect this thread for big news:

Left 4 Dead will have a sequel, it will be released on November 17.
Steam News article

I can't decide if this is cool or lame. On the other hand this means that there's next to no updates coming to L4D, but it's pretty exciting to see the sequel make the AI director more powerful and add a whole load of new content.

The lamest thing is of course that everyone who has L4D already will have to buy L4D2 instead of getting the new content for free, TF2-style. Also there won't be that much community-created campaigns and things like that for L4D because of this.

I'm surprised Valve is doing something so cash-grabbing.

I doubt it's purely a cash grab. As you said, the director gets upgraded, so that probably means an overhaul of at least a big part of the engine and creating good IA is a hell of a task. That's something you'd need a full desing team to be working on 24/7 and I doubt many companies can afford sacrificing such a large part of their team for something that'll be free.

Well it could have been an expansion.  Doesn't seem like it's really a sequel from the way they're describing it.  Then again EA is the publisher and we know what their idea of a sequel is.  Honestly I'm highly skeptical any time someone talks about improved AI, mostly because more than half the time it's bullshit.
