the gun is cool, new deal with melee is a lil different but not much..
and character models...just new people who are colored different... i bet the personalities will only be tweaked a little..

definitely not worth a whole new game

oh well, we will see how it fans out

You 3 pretty much sum up my feelings.

Looks fun but hardly worth a new standalone game.

You don't need to surf through tons of posts, it's been up there the entire time under announcements. Not to mention, it's called search.

Okay, well then this proves why your E3 thread is pointless, because not everyone is going to see the news.

But hey, if the mods are letting you monopolize the news, by all means, drive on.

Tell that to the mods then. The E3 News Thread has been on the front page of OCN's news thing for the past 2 days with over 2k views. Not to mention it is stickied. If you missed it, well - sucks

"Introducing the AI Director 2.0, L4D's dynamic gameplay is taken to the next level by giving the Director the ability to procedurally change weather effects, world objects, and pathways in addition to tailoring the enemy population, effects, and sounds to match the players' performance. The result is a unique game session custom fitted to provide a satisfying and uniquely challenging experience each time the game is played.

Featuring new Survivors, boss zombies, weapons, and items, Left 4 Dead 2 offers a much larger game than the original with more co-operative campaigns, more Versus campaigns, and maps for Survival mode available at launch."

Just saw this in the announcement and I feel a bit better... Valve have never ever let me down so I'm optimistic.

Yea with little to no discussion on anything. Again, defeats the purpose of a forum. That's all I'm getting at.

There was seemingly new zombies in that video. I'm not sure if they were special infected or not but they had the hooded coats on and look like the special infected that Valve originally was going to make instead of the Boomer.

If that's true I sure as heck hope we've got another orange box or black bock on our hands.

http://www.overclock.net/video-games...p-ea-ages.html for all those crying about EA. its not a problem and stop whining cod have a new game every year why cant l4d? its just as good and im sure support for the original wont be halted due to this that would be a very bad move imo

I like how rather than blame Valve, you blame EA instead.

The videos looks good though.

There is an official E3 news discussion thread linked at the top of the page. It keeps the spam out of the forums. I
f there were threads like this for ever single trailer and every single announcement at E3 like this one, then you'd have a flooded news section with no hardware or software news - and the majority of threads like this one would be pushed back onto the 2nd, 3rd, 4rth page. That's all I'm getting at.
