We know that 4v4 matchmaking will be here before L4D2, at least. And apparently more to come later on.

What's not guaranteed is if they'll be good quality or not, which I seriously doubt.

One can hope. Have some faith.

Maybe something to prevent Survivors from doing things like map rushes or molotoving a Tank and running away?
one of them
10-24-2009, 06:24 PM
Yes, please FINALLY add 4v4 Matchmaking, they talked about that being added way back when Survival Mode was released.

you want another update that fucks up the original? seriously what the fuck is going through your mind? did you forget how buggy the last dlc was? did you forget how the last update didnt fix ANY bug!!? did you forget how the last dlc decreased the l4d community by probably 50-70%?

l4d is dead!

The last DLC decreased the community "probably"? Stop talking out of your ass please.

Agreed.


If anything, the last DLC increased sales thus increasing the size of the community.

Also L4D isn't dead yet, we still have until the demo is unlocked.

More people pre-ordered l4d 2 than l4d so I'm guessing it will die when the pre-ordered demo releases.

start reading and stop talking shit!

and yeah, the last dlc fucked up this game! or just tell me ONE good thing about it!

It was free. (For me at least)

Shorter Versus games = Less Rage Quits

Harder than most other campaigns.

New Dialogue and Story (Except the new dialogue doesn't work in my game for some reason)

Creative Finale


I think thats it.

Creative Finale


That's up for debate. An armored van? Generator?

Yeah, I thought the finale was going to be better than start a generator, hide. Restart it hide, get on truck that goes direction you came from all the while cliping through zombies.

I'll still play.

I won't!! Sorry, but once something bigger and better comes along, who's going to play something that is not as good as something els? If there will still be FREE DLC for L4D, I might keep playing it, but that is impossible with M$.

Exactly, Left 4 Dead will be the same just to a lesser degree. Everyone seems to be over-exaggerating thinking that not a single person will be on.

What I think is, people WILL buy Left 4 Dead 2, maybe they say they won't but they will try it, and if they don't like it, they have the original to go back to. We all do.
But if we DO like it, we have the second one to stay on.

So your telling me, 1.5 million or more people stopped playing when Crash Course was released? Bullshit.
Easton Dark

I'm not seeing how people stopped playing BECAUSE the game was being supported with content Stuffinator.

I can see how they were angry at it, very lackluster campaign for how long they worked on it, but cmon, it's new stuff.
Stuffinator

Edit: Ok, long rant!



It was free. (For me at least)
As it wasn't free for all, no +!

Shorter Versus games = Less Rage Quits
Yeah if you mean ragequit per game, but not per map! We haven't finished a crash course versus yet, because they always rage, always!

Harder than most other campaigns.
I agree, but thats because of bugs, so no + here too!

New Dialogue and Story (Except the new dialogue doesn't work in my game for some reason)
If this would work, then maybe I would give it a +!

Creative Finale
I don't see where this finale is supposed to be better than the others, ok more interaction maybe, but it still feels not so new!
Don't you just love Crash Course?
No.

I just have to look at my friendslist and all those professional esport communities! I have arround 40 friends on steam, just via L4D and all of them used to play l4d alot. And there are only 3-5 of those 40 still playing L4D! Sometimes I get a few of them to play expert with me, but then everyone is like "but no crash course, god this campaign is so stupid"! And last time I checked the esl page, the number of teams playing in the german ladder decreased by 65%, while the number of teams playing in the european ladder decreased by arround 40%. Not to mention that 15% is not even playing in the european ladder, they are just registered!

And if I watch videos on youtube I see more and more bug videos and discussions like this here in the comments!

I didn't say that just for fun. I'm just sad to see how this game is dieing more and more! And everytime I play versus I can't be sure if there are hackers in the opponent team or not. Just not fun anymore! Even though I criticised the crash course dlc before it was out I was still hoping that it would be good and that my friends start to play l4d again, but it's even worse than before!

I just don't want to be dissapointed anymore after waiting for patches and content!

About Crash Course:
- A lot of ragequits, just less than a normal campaign.
- Most of the roofs are blocked off.
- Length of maps make it more difficult for the survivors.
- Near impossible finale with pubs. (I think I finished it once out of 10 or so pub games.)

Overall, I hate Crash Course and avoid it when possible.

If I actually had an Xbox 360 and had to pay for this I would not.

Who would pay for 2 maps?

Stuffinator, there is no way someone stopped playing because of a map. If they stopped playing it's because they wanted to, specially because you aren't forced by any way to play Crash Course. I think Crash Course was a lot better than the Survival DLC

I think the replay value is lacking after a year. Just my opinion as I know a lot of people do still play. But for me personally the lack of new ideas/maps have killed the fun factor. It's probably because after playing through 400000000 times most of the levels have become tiring and predictable. The little improvements and features in l4d2 might boost the franchise a bit. Gotta wait for the demo to determine that for myself! I just think l4d needs innovative maps badly and an easier way to distribute community content.
