Would you buy a Left 4 Dead Expansion Pack?POLL

I would buy it if the content interested me. Why is there no option in your poll for a yes answer ?Jade_Monkey

It all depends on what kind of expansion it is. For example; i would never buy an expansion that only adds new weapons.

 If it's a good expansion i'd wait for a price drop

I Probaly would but it would have to be a damn good expansion

Considering All the Mods and Player made levels that are going to be made for L4D

Let us say that L4D is out for quite a while.Suddenly news pops up that Valve is making an expansion for L4D,in this EP there will be
-New weapons
-New characters
-New levels
-New enemies

Would you buy this?The game would be sold at the same price as L4D itself.
I definitely would :|Lto_thaG

nope, unless its cheap

No, it wouldn't. Expansions are never sold for $50. Therefore, I'm going to play pretend and make it more realistic. It costs $30. Yes, I'd buy it.

If it were $50, absolutely not. There's no such thing as an expansion worth that much. Wouldn't buy it for $40, either. So I'd end up waiting many months for it to go down to $30.

Anyway, they would not and will not make an expansion for L4D because it would only hurt things. It is a game that you're supposed to play with your friends. Creating an expansion would mean you may not be able to play it with any of your friends because they all don't have it, or it might mean one friend can't play all the same content as the others because all of them have the expansion except him. It would undermine the ease of getting together with any and all of your buddies and playing whatever, you being able to join their game regardless of what point they're at, and vice versa. L4D is best as a game with free updates, as it should and will be. We've got 60% of the content so far, and Valve will give us the other 40% for free over the months, 'cause that's how Valve do.

and I'm pretty sure they will add more content after 100% :P Like they did with TF2

For the $50 price tag, added content should be free.

This. Although the game is quite entertaining in 1-2 hour sessions, it's little more than a glorified HL2 mod for $50. For that price any additional content better be free.

BOOYAH!

... I mean yes.

I don't think I would... Personally I don't see a reason to have an expansion for L4D. Why not just release all of this gradually over time? Or just use player made mods for all of the additional monsters/weapons/levels when the SDK is finally released?

The biggest thing I would expect from an expansion pack for L4D would at least be a Custom Character creation, instead of more characters. Even that could just be patched in over time though.

No. The game was mediocre at best.Johnny_Rock

[QUOTE="Johnny_Rock"]No. The game was mediocre at best.biggest_loser

Oh noes!!!! I've raised the ire of an Aussie!!!!! Run Frodo!!!! Wait, that's New Zealand.... eh, close enough.

Honestly, I got bored of the game after a few hours of play time. Sometimes I'll get on as a zombie and play a little havoc, but other than that, it's not a big thing to me.

I never heard of a Valve game with an expansion pack except maybe Counter Strike: Condition Zero. So no I wouldn't

Hell no, the game is already short as hell, it would feel like im paying for content that should have already been there!jmnderson69

they sold that game like candy.
everyone rushed and bought it.

people wanted to have something different.
developers come up with rushing zombie armies.
people excited. and bought it like mad.

now they will create an expoansion (which should be a content of the original game)
they will price it like $39.99
every one will rush and buy again...

they laughed us before... and they will laugh again.

yea, that's anice game. but it's value is not more than $29.99 (tax included)
and for the expansion (because it's not standalone) price should be max $19.99 (with tax)

[exansion game should contain full new maps and several weapon and zombies and bosses + new multiplayer modes]

this is how it should be... but the reality will not be like that.
