A sequel after just a year. Valve starting to milk us.

That's kind of what I was thinking. Has Valve ever released a sequel within a year? I was kind of hoping they would just do downloadable levels.

4 campaign maps for $15. I'm sure the "new" game changes aren't anything a patch couldn't take care of.

TF2 has seen so many content patches which have added up to MORE then what their adding to L4D2. Why release it?

That came out of no where, it kind of seems like a little too soon doesn't it? Especially for Valve.

Things they should do first:
1. HL2: EP3
2. Finish TF2 characters
3. RELEASE THIS AS A DOWNLOAD >

If they make the changes with the AI director that has surfaced then just patching the first game would have been impossible. Sure they could just add new maps of nawlins, but this is going beyond the facelift of a DLC package with just the meager features they've released today.

Let's hope so. In my opnion it's way to soon for a sequel.

That is quite an odd move on valve part. They just barely released the files to make custom content and now there are developing L4D2? Hopefully it will be done in valve time (4+ years) so L4D will be boring by then.

Maybe they will support both games at once. I just want some new DLC campaigns.

Why would they support both? Sorry, this is valve milking us, oh well. If anything this is just a signal that left 4 dead (1) support is over.

Oh come on! The glitches, instant kills, and other odd quirks made it extra fun!
I mean, I think dumpsters, pianos, and generators shouldn't be moved to block exits, but spamming melee and doing fall damage instant kills were fun.

What if it is just more levels and etc to add on? For a cheap fee of 20 or 30 dollars.
It looks more serious than the first one though, I hope Bill is still in it.
Considering it took years to make left 4 dead 1, this one cant be anything more than more levels or something.

I just bought L4D a week ago. It's amazing, but I really wanted some more DLC. To soon Valve, to soon.

I bet they just want to get more campaigns out, aren't they too big to be in any DLC for the 360.
Anyway even if it's only slightly improved over the first one it will still be great. I'm still trying to master the first one, especially survival mode.

I second the disappointed users' sentiments...unless, like Zertoss said, it's more like a standalone expansion for $30 or less...then I'd be PSYCHED!

Color me surprised. More levels for the first one would have been fine with me, but I'm pumped.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I enjoyed L4D, but burned out on it quickly by what I felt was a lack of content (i.e. needed more levels).
I have a couple of friends that were recently considering picking L4D up since they've recently burned out on their holiday '08 purchases (which had me pleased since it meant a few more hours of squeezed out of my not-quite-worth-it $60 purchase). This announcement will almost certainly mean they'll just wait for the sequel.
I would have gladly ponied up MS Points for L4D DLC, but now it's looking to be a wait-and-see as for any L4D2 purchase for me.

Exactly. I'm a zombie enthusiast so I got L4D on xbox the day it came out. All was well for the first 2-3 months, after that the user base just went down. I really can't see myself buying #2 for the Xbox, I loved the game but the PC version just has so much more life.
This should have been DLC.
