Taking place somewhere after dead centre... "The Passing" introduces Zoey, Bill, Louis, and Francis into the mix again. How? Doesn't say... but it's interesting none-the-less.
Might not be free though. (Definitely not free on the 360 at least...)
Valve wouldn't release p2p DLC. They've mocked other developers too much for that in the past (except on xbox live but those consoletards deserve it :downs:)
Except for being the first developer to go to Episodic Content...Quote:

I'll pay any amount
A bajillion dollars?
I want the full mod to change all the main characters back to bill, zoey, black guy, and duder. Then I'll get l4d2.
i want 8v8, all of the survivors against 8 SI... that would own.
-edit- if this new campaign takes place after dead center, wont that mess up the story line?
As long as they keep the stockcar throughout the campaign, nope.
I hope that this doesnt mean that the original 4 die somewhere in the new campaign. I sure as shit dont see them in dark carnival and onward.

That's what I was thinking too, flib, hopefully they make it 8-man campaign and 8v8 versus.
really wish we could choose any of the 8 survivors in all game modes.
thanks for the info.
they did say theyd be updating all the campaigns, so maybe you will meet up with them and they join up for the rest of the game

And you're trying to tell me that they somehow got from Allegheny National Forest (assuming Blood Harvest was the "last campaign" story-wise) and they did THIS?:

Sorry Valve, but no. This is just fanservice to try and get more L4D1 owners to purchase L4D2.
There is just no way, story-wise, those four would've LOGICALLY decided, "You know, we've just been picked up by the military, I HAVE A GREAT IDEA. LET'S TOTALLY ABANDON SAFETY AND SOMEHOW GET OUR ASSES DOWN TO GEORGIA. MAKES TOTAL SENSE."
shut up
In Dead Center, if you look at the map at the beginning they say "Looks like New Orleans is the last safe place then." L4D1 survivors also realize this, so they fight their way down south and meet the new survivors.
Storylines~
L4D1 was in PA? Didn't seem as unreasonably cold...
Also,
>L4D
>Story
lol. That's like TF2 lore. Oh... er, shit, nevermind.
What's wrong with Fan service?
I'm sorry, but that is absolutely retarded. Even if New Orleans was a safe place, if you were in, say, Maine, would you honestly say to yourself, "Hey, you know, I am going to travel through at least 8 states and possibly subject myself to MORE danger than it's worth just to MAYBE survive and make it to New Orleans where it MAY OR MAY NOT BE safer."Quote:

I like fan service too, but when it's completely nonsensical with regards to the story line, fuck that. :PQuote:

Crash Course suggested otherwise, connecting their mishap on the helicopter in No Mercy to their goal of reaching Riverside in Death Toll. It implied Valve was going for a storyline. *shrug*Quote:

So you're basically saying you'd rather know for sure you're gonna die rather than die knowing you at least tried to go somewhere supposedly safe? :ugh:Quote:

:P but hey, it's a game. We just assume they all eat nails for breakfast and ammunition is infinite.... cos it kind of is. XD
Of course if you'd been picked up by the military and are in a safe place already why leave. But, what I was getting at was the situation that it's a zombie apocalypse and you're unsafe where you are so for shits and giggles why not go where its rumored to be safeQuote:

"The Director" is not a valid answer.
The crazy guy in the church from Death Toll and VOIGUL
Maybe they just forgot to take it with them. :v:Quote:

I think you missed the whole point of my comment.Quote:

Well if they were picked up by the military and their only "safe" place in georgia and by the time you got there it was over run.
This would explain the large jump in locations.
i'm beginning to think you hate anything to do with valve :ugh:Quote:

Either way, It is quite feasible that the safe zone is located in new orleans, and that is where you are evac'd to.
ORR the survivors figure out that their not being taken to a safe zone and are indeed being taken to be executed as carriers, and bill does something epic and takes out the pilot (or whatever, I dont remember which vehicle you escape in in the last l4d1 campaign) and crashlands somewhere along the path between the mall where "dead center" ends and the highway where "dark carnival" begins.
and that, is my fanfic.
I think they need to make a campaign called "Second Coming" where you spawn as Jesus and cure the zombie apocalypse with your mighty Jesus powers.
It totally fits with the story, shut the fuck up.
im a scientologist, and that offends me. If the christians get to have a jesus campaign, I want a zenu campaign where I cause the infection in the first place.
L4D2 owns, Zoey owns, this will be ownage^2, deal w/ it :neckbeard:Quote:

Original survivors could have been loaded onto a transport helo with any other survivors, shit happens, helo crashes, they cross paths with the L4D2 crew and end up splitting up (or dying!) for some reason.Quote:
