Microsoft have pulled an ace out of their proverbial sleeves by not only announcing Left 4 Dead 2, but also dating it for release on November 17th on Xbox 360 and PC.
It’s obviously too soon to tell whether this game has been rushed after last year’s release of the groundbreaking first game, but this trailer looks impressive. Apparently there are chainsaws abound, and that pleases me greatly.
Valve had a massive success on their hands when they released Left 4 Dead last November, and this game will likely prove to be just as important to every co-op gamer’s life.
What do you think about this announcement? Is it too soon to release a new addition to the franchise only a year after the release of the first game? We’d love to hear what you have to say!

Hmm. I was hoping it would be called Left 4 Dead Also, but I’m extremely excited for possible new zombies and maybe bot zombies online.
about the chainsaw:
There will be object lying around, which you will be able to pick up and use as a weapon. Baseball bats, frying pans, chainsaws and such will also be available.
I think this is too soon for Left 4 Dead 2…
I like how you can pick random items to survive rather than have a pistol with unlimited bullets. It seems much more realistic and it would probably feel more like you are actually surviving a zombie apocalypse and give an even added adrenaline rush. I’m gonna assume from the trailer with all the weird limbs falling off and stuff that this movie will have a more dead space feel to it with you hacking off zombie limbs rather than a FPS feel. Also yay for zombies with coloured clothing because apparently according to the first L4D if you become infected your clothes also turn grey.
If they changed the AI director or added new special zombies and changed the overall feel to the game I wouldnt mind buying the game. If it felt like I’m just playing a L4D 1 update then I’d definately demand for my money bank. I dont think it would be the case though and even though I do feel as though Valve is rushing this and that its releasing a bit too soon I do hope that any additional ideas they may have can be put in the form of an update rather than resulting to them making a L4D3. I sincerely hope they do thorough brainstorming well in advanced because I would be peeved if they did it again.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WTH VALVE .
Means I gotta wait ANOTHER year for HL2:EP3
I think that a) Valve should have said something, anything, about half-life or portal (hopefully they will later). b) called it L4D:(anything) rather than L4D2 and just called it an expansion. and no matter what, c) make it cost under $25
