No. Very high-priced low-quality expansion. Thanks, but no thanks. :x

Yeah, spent dozens upon dozens of hours playing L4D, and the mods with my friend. However versus is terrible imo. Hopefully the multiplayer modes in L4D2 is a little better.

L4D2 is going to be better than that, so not buying it would be a stupid move on my part.

This. I don't feel that L4D2 is worth another $50 so soon after seeing how Valve botched support for the first.

i wouldnt say they botched support for it, i mean they JUST came out with a new pack of DLC. Crash Course. i mean they released it a month before left 4 dead 2. I would say thats pretty good support.

No thanks, the first one didn't have near enough to warrant 49.99$. This should have been free for those who purchased the first one.....it still probably wouldn't warrant enough money for a full dollar game.

That was their first DLC campaign and it was really underwhelming.......the level design is pretty bad and bland(for Valve standards).

I thought it was good, i mean not the best but still not "bad" or "bland"

And valve said that they are going to continue to support the game.

I picked option 3. I was originally thinking of boycotting it after the announcement of the sequel pretty close to the first's release. Then I thought, if I had so much fun with the first, Why not give the second one a change? I'm still thinking about it since there are a lot of games coming out now.

I wouldn't call it good.

A. Took them forever to release mod tools

B. Took even longer for them to add proper addon support/matchmaking

C. Both DLC they have released have sucked. Survival mode is terrible and Crash Course was pathetic compared to the quality of the original campaigns. And I'm not even complaining about the length (I think the move to shorter VS mode maps is great) but for the amount they released I really expected a lot more from Valve, especially since other games like World at War and Killing Floor have had better and more game-changing updates than L4D has.

Maybe if it was a 20 dollar expansion. It's got some new content yea... But not enough to warrant a full priced $49.99 purchase.

Yeah, I'm gettin it for 360. The replay value is through the roof so I don't even listen to the "lack of content" complaints.

No. I was burned by Valve with the first one and... Left 4 Dead (Hey now!) Seriously though, this should have been an expansion/DLC a few month after the first one was released. If I was on a PC, I might think differently because of the mods, but the 360 version got screwed. I had kept my copy waiting for more levels, fully expecting and willing to pay for them of course. The moment they announced part two, I sold the first one, and said "ya, I'm not falling for that one again." It was fun, don't get me wrong. But I saw it as nothing more then a glorified tech demo with full dependence on user mods to keep going. Once support by Valve was dropped, my thoughts were merely confirmed. There's no way I'm paying anything for part 2.

Thats true, but you have to understand, Valve is a small company. and so they have to divide their resources between games. But you're right, those games have had better support than left 4 dead.

The haters can whine about it all they want, L4D is an awesome game, and L4D2 is a first day buy for me. I don't even see how people can say L4D2 should be a free expansion, or DLC because it's a bigger game than the first one. I guess people need something to complain about.

The support for L4D has been kind of weak, but at least we're getting something. Plus, Valve has stated that Crash Course was NOT the last DLC for it. There will be more. :)

They've had no problem supporting TF2. I was expecting that quality of service from them when I bought L4D.

No, I don't support yearly sequels. Especially when Half Life 2 Episode 3 still isn't out and it's been 2 and a half years.

Gonna stick with the first Left 4 Dead on PC until part 3 comes out in fall 2010, then i'll get that.

That's nothing compared to a full game to the likes of say, Half-life 2. I just don't think it's worth a full price tag when you compare it to other games that have great gameplay mechanics and a ton of content for the same price.
