L4D 2

@brokenfridgehinge

Have you even played TF2, or L4D, because I don’t think you have.

Where the hell did you stuff your troll alarm

@~kev~

You disagree, but instead of posting an intelligent reply, you resort to insults. Bravo!!! Well spoken.

My post had the same amount of intelligence as yours, so I think we’re even.

@~kev~

The original team fortress games - quakeworld team fortress and team fortress classic - focused on capture the flag game play. CTF was the very core of Team Fortress. But with tf2, valve switched to a cap point, control point push types of maps, with very little attention towards ctf. The vast majority of the maps made by valve and released with tf2 are NOT CTF.

You said they had taken it out of TF2, so I answered accordingly. And who cares? Find a server that does the CTF more often. Sorted. No more bitching required. Or you could make your own map, if it’s that bad.

@~kev~

I suspect the same thing is going to happen to l4d. Instead or surviving and escaping a zombie invasion. Its going to be some kind of survival only mode, very much like what the current survival mode in l4d.

Regardless of “what” direction l4d goes in, I suspect its not going to be anything like the current version. I suspect it going to be cartoon looking like tf2, use the same engine, the same models, maybe the same textures,

My opinion - as silly as it sounds - left 4 dead 2 is going to be a zombie modification for team fortress 2. Or at least look very much like it.

There you go, you said it yourself: you have a silly opinion (silly, stupid, same thing). You can’t really criticise me now, can you?

Basically, you think L4D will turn into TF2 for no other reason than your dislike for TF2. That’s… Well, like we agreed, stupid.

EDIT:

@~kev~

On the l4d2 gonna be an modification of tf2, I dont guess any of you heard the sound track of the left 4 dead 2 teaser video at 1:05 - 1:10. Its part of the sound track from tf2.

But like Doug Lombardi said from the link Source posted,

“entertainment” - is the keyword. l4d can offer intense game play that some people take seriously. Is “fun” serious?

Maybe left 4 dead with its competition style gameplay between teams is a little to “serious” and not enough “fun”? Maybe part 2 is going to lighten things up a little bit and make the next release more fun.

So the soundtrack is similar? You honestly think that means that it’s going to be cell shaded and stuck at control points?

And yes, L4D is fun, that’s why lots of people play it and have fun. Little clues like that.

I don’t guess you heard the sound track of Left 4 Dead or TF2, because that is part of the Left 4 Dead soundtrack.

What baffles me most is that your entire assumption about L4D2 being ‘TF2 styled’ is pure conjecture based on 5 seconds of audio of which you’re not even correct about.

TF2 styled L4D?
Now I want to die.

No… um. L4D killed my PC and I sincerely love it. If that makes any sense[/size]

Sounds good to me, u guys should be happier with what u get dealt, the game will be great.

Sure Episode 3 anouncement would be better, but this is awesome as well.

Hey guys I have made a thread on the steam forums of a compilation of ideas for L4D2 if you are interested, Link

L4D going TF2 ? This is madness

THAT LOOKS LIKE AWESOME. It had to be Photoshopped. If Episode 3 is that sexy I might just die. :jizz:

You can tell it’s concept art. Look at the window of the truck on the left.

Reflections like that are to sexy for Source, I forgot. :’(

Lies. It never gets old.

You know how we are left with the trail of the Borealis, an icebreaker and there was some concept art in Raising the Bar concerning a snow-capped town?

Consider the announcement that in Left 4 Dead 2, the Director AI would have control of the weather, changing the gameplay?

Maybe, just maybe, this is a testbed for the use of such gameplay mechanisms in Ep.3. Having a fog roll in at a critical overwhelming battle to provide an escape would certainly add new and exciting elements to the game.

I enjoy L4D, and with a reasonable discount (25%-50%) to pre-existing owners of L4D, I would definitely consider buying this sequel. I wouldn’t mind waiting a little more for Ep3 if they decide to use this new technology to further enhance the gameplay and make my experience more enjoyable.

Problem with that idea is, that there is no real point in having an A.I. director in a single player game. That’s what normal scripting is for.

Oh, I assumed that. I was mostly referring to the use of the environmental effects. I wouldn’t expect them to use the Director in Ep3.
