Here is a new preview for the major motion interactive video game Left 4 Dead 2

One of the things I was really pleased about when reading this was the introduction of the new Spitter infected which can cause damage to an specific area over a certain amount of time. While this may seem minimal it will stop groups from hauling up into corners and holding off the infected. You will have to keep moving. This is a really significant change to how you'll have to play the game in my opinion.

I actually misread the topic title into thinking that L4D2 "feels just like an expansion", L4D2 is still on my radar but I am not exactly hyped for it just yet, even after reading the article.

Sounds like he had a great time. Also sounds like he's a L4D vet. Can't wait. L4D is one of the funnest online games I have ever played, regardless of content size.

It would be awesome if they allowed you (free or otherwise) to patch L4D1's levels into L4D2, kinda like Rockband did. That way you would have all the levels available under one "hood". As for the preview the game sounds like it's shaping up nicely, but I'm on the fence if I will buy it ASAP (like I did for the first one).

The positive pre-views keep coming, when will the boycotters take their fingers out of their ears ans stop shouting "Lalalala! I'm not listening to you!! VALVE is bad!!" C'mon people there has not been ONE preveiw that says it's s rushed cash in, VALE thenselves have come out and stated time and time again that L4D1 will get continued support.

Same here, I thought it said L4D2 feels just like an expansion too.

To be honest, I'm not really that heavily interested in the whole petition thing. I just know it will be a good game and that's all I care about.

I watched videos of L4D2 on Inside Xbox (on Live), and me and my bro laughed because it looked and played exactly like the original, only with 4 different characters and some new weapons. It'll be a rental

Almost all of this stuff can be added to L4D1 with a simple update.

I was playing on a modded server yesterday with the same effect as the Spitter zombie...twas the smoker. When he get's killed the smoke damages the survivors. I think i'll wait for reviews and player responses to see if it feels like more.

Fair enough but imagine if you combined the spitter with the smoker on the same map. So you could have the survivors spread out and then attack with the smoker and draw them away.

how does Mass Effect 2 have anything to do with L4D? Anyways, I will probably be pushed into getting this, but I think Valve knows what's at stake here.

played the forst one and got bored after about an hour. It was fun but no story really killed it for me. I know this game was meant to play with friends but even then it gets boring after awhile.

Surely you should wait until you know how much content is in L4D2 before you judge how much it is worth. :P

Sure, why not. I can get behind that. I think the petition is a.) a waste of time and b.) an overreaction.

Its time to fight fire with fire.

I doubt the doom 3 engine could support as many character models on a map like L4D - Source has always been a superior engine and secondly L4D was never about amazing visuals anyway.
