Naw, I'm betting its Zoe.

All the creepy stuff people have made about/with her has obviously gotten to her, and thus she decided to sacrifice herself, not just to save those other guys (who've been taking naughty pictures while she slept), but also because she's sick of all that hentai/modding sh**.

Of course though, people will just "depict" her sacrifice as some crazy zombie/infected orgy, so her sacrifice just fueled what she hated more.

The only logical person is bill.

He does not have as many fans, and besides that I could definitely see him staying behind or something like that to help the others.

They've said there are some interactions between Francis and Nick, so I doubt it's Francis.

Bill would make the most sense, I think. He was the only character without new lines in Crash Course.

it's Bill, come on, he repeatedly reminds everyone to shoot him if he starts to turn. Bill's the kinda guy everyone should strive to be in the zombieaclopyse, the guy who makes sacrifices! It's gonna be Bill and it's gonna tear out my heart

It's not Zoey because apparently Ellis is going to get a crush on her.

Also not Francis because he going to have some funny dialogue with Nick apparently.

So Bill or Louis, I reckon it'll be Bill though to add some sadness to it, no one would care if Louis died.

I know I have been shot down many times for this idea, but the only way to prevent rage quitting is to make it a penalty they care about. Which means ranks and unlockables....how would it work for L4D without hindering people....i truly havent figured that out yet but thats not my job (though id love to be lead game designer for L4D series)

I'm betting Francis. Following the clichéd "black guy dies first" wouldn't fit Valve's MO.

Perhaps that's how they're going to present Left 4 Dead 3; original cast, only 3 members. FIGHT!

Clothing accessories would be awesome (as long as they weren't toooo ridiculous like TF2 has gotten), but I was also thinking stuff along the lines of new skins for current weapons. Just skins though so they don't get a massive advantage over others (or just make the improvements available in campaign and other co-op modes so as not to ruin any balance, and only skins in competitive modes).

To be honest though, Rage quitting is L4D's biggest problem, and Valve needs to seriously look at it and find a way to fix it.

It would probably be Bill, seeing as how they were unable to get his voice actor to record any new lines for Crash Course. Presumably, they were unable to get him again this time, and reusing old lines won't cut it.

If it's Louis I may have to hurt some folks, though.

I never said any of that. I simply said that they were unable to get him. Why? I have no idea. I don't know if it was a money issue, or if he was too busy like Medic's voice actor is, or anything.

Reading through what has been revealed, the players will choose who will die in the L4D1 DLC. This has me believing that the dead person will be random each time.

I don't know if that's better or worse. Left 4 Schrödinger?

I predict it will be Bill. Valve could not get the voice actor back for the L4D DLC (hence why Bill has no new lines), there was some sort of dispute there. If Valve killed any of the characters off, it would be Bill.

They could do a Chef, like on south Park. Cut up previous lines into "new" dialogue with complete disregard for tone.

They could make it a +/- system where depending on your score you have certain items unlocked. This means that if you quit a game there is a chance some of your already unlocked items will be relocked.

It would encourage people to play more to get the higher level unlock-able items while making it so that they can actually lose items for being jerks.

I would say something like +3 for each finished match, -5 for each match you quit out early on (or at least, quit mid-game, they could have a pause between rounds to let people adjust teams), -2 for team killing, and say +3 if you win the round.

For the PC it's free, and will most likely be presented as a required update. The 360 version will be DLC priced at around 560 MSP. Maybe.

No word on release date as far as I know.

So... if you have to play out this sacrifice on the first game's DLC... are you forced to commit to whoever Valve has chosen to die in the storyline, or are you creating a time-paradox with every play through?

I guess it's not that big of a deal. After all We've all played L4D campaigns where someone hasn't made it to the boat.

So is there a release date on The Passing yet? As I recall it was supposed to be out March, and it's already March 20th, so I would assume a release date should be out by now.

ya i completely agree stuff should re lock if you lose rep points or whatever, which is the whole incentive to not quit. Also imagine how much better the community would be if people were forced to play games they were losing in and learn the better strategies. this is why i never rage quit even if im all alone on a team, it makes you that much better.
