You'd think people who make maps would be able to make a well playing desert secret base campaign. I guess it takes awhile, and im not really skilled at map making or anything...but I hope some more imaginative campaigns release rather than just wilderness/normal urban environment.

That absolutely happens. The best part is, many times it doesn't even matter if you're doing everything right or not. Either in the campaigns or in versus. Some people are going to be dicks regardless.
But, that's just because The L4D games have the worst player communities out of any game that I've ever played. Worse than any Halo game, any Gears game, any COD game. Simply the worst.

Aka "All the Valve mutations, custom mutations, everything and the kitchen sink for measure". Play it. It's amazing, and there are a pile of mutations for every mode in the game. The group I'm with has tried an infinite ammo GLs mutation and a coop versus mutation so far and have had a blast.

Edit: BTW Vert, do you know of a server command/plugin to randomize each round in VS? (like the 1st month of L4D1)

I don't think it's true that the L4D player communities are bad, I think it's that the L4D random player community is bad. Because of the type of game it is, many players basically play exclusively with friends. Since even in Versus you're only going to be playing with 7 other people max, it's not hard to find a regular group of people to play with. This leaves random games filled with people who are either new to the game, or basically just looking to fuck around. Not a good combination.
I play with a regular group of friends, and we're always nice to random people who join us if we don't have enough people and actually decide to set it to a public game. Our experience is that the kindness doesn't really pay off because most of the time the random guys joining are either dicks, or retards. Every once in a while we get a random who has a mic and is actually interested in playing the game. It's not that bad if it's just a noob player who is learning the ropes. We can be patient with that, but the worst ones are the ones who are just plain rude, refuse to listen to any strategies, and basically ends up being a liability on purpose.
If you can find a regularly group of friends to play the game with, it's really a hell lot of fun.

I completely agree with this. L4D has been one of the most enjoyable games in my gaming career, and I'm glad to say it's because of the people I play with.duckroll said:
I love them <3

If what they've done to Team Fortress 2 is any indication, I'm glad they're leaving the arcade style gameplay alone.

When they announced Portal 2 for PS3 and steamworks on it I was really hoping for a L4D3 w/ steamworks on PS3. I'm content with waiting for PS4 though.

**UPDATE**
i have only VERY recently found out:
If you bought the game through steam (downloaded and patched) GORE WILL WORK ONLINE with other Aussies! yay! and they dont need gore.
also if you bought the game instore, then sorry, online no longer works at all.
Worth a shot.
Hey You said:
I'd say they're working on DotA 2, HL3, DLC for L4D, L4D2, Portal 2 and as ever, TF2.
Gabe said that the reason L4D2 came out so soon after L4D was that they had a reputation for taking a long time to make games and they wanted to show that they could pump out a high quality product in a short period of time.

DLC for L4D1? No... its over.
1. L4D1 is dead because they gonna port all the L4D1 Maps for L4D2.
2. Francis, Louis and Zoey are safe now.
But is it possible to be gifted a uncensored version(to overwrite my censored L4D2)? A friend of me had a censored version of TF2 but got Orange box gifted(american version), now his TF2 version is uncensored! What i want to ask is if that is possible for a single game or do the ppl who try to gift me that game get an error?(because i own it already)Botolf said:
Or do i need to get it in a bundle?(i don't have l4d1, so that might work)

Here I am thinking "Which campaign is Dead Air? It's been long since I played the first L4D."
Then I look at my wall and I have a Dead Air poster hanging...

So what is going to be the next L4D1 campaign to be moved over? Also, Valve need to go ahead and distribute Suicide Blitz 2 through Steam. It's a damn good map that deserves a full release.

Of SB2? The L4D blog still has the old version up too. The only way I found version 3 was by from seeing a version that I didnt have while searching for a game the other day.

L4D2 introduced some new special infected and melee weapons, as well as improvements to the primary weapons and handguns, that make it more fun to play, especially in Versus.Dipswitch said:
The problem is, in L4D1 versus, if the survivors just stay together, they can basically take on anything. A lot of the special infected introduced in L4D2 were designed to break up the group and make Versus more fun. People want to play these maps with the added L4D2 improvements.
Also it's nice to just have all that stuff in one game.
