    Default Left4Dead 2 Announced

    Quickest sequel in history, to be honest..
    Valve probably only did this as they know the console players will buy the most recent and they can cash in. I doubt that much will even be changed.

    I just downloaded a torrent.

    But I think I might can help you.
    You should have a process watcher see where all files get moved etc, the registry etc.
    Then copy the game folder to your usb and export the registry entry.

    My school just got new computers .

    It has more melee weapons, etc too.
    My guess is that they just are releasing a new version so people will have to rebuy the entire game cashing them in 50 bucks.

    Valve is one hella smart. If they think it will make money...it will. Or its all a ploy to make more money on the next one. Just like microsoft. They make $0 at first to get the marketshare, then they rake it in on the next iteration.

    EDIT: and after looking at the video, if the game looks anything like the video, then they definately upped the graphics.

    Left 4 Dead was fun for awhile, but it got really crappy very quickly. Its as if the developers spent a week planning this game and slapping it together in a month. I can imagine the sequel being the same thing.

    QFT.
    If anybody's planning on bying the game -- don't.
    No story, quite repetative, poor graphics ect.
    The fact that they're releasing it this briefly after the first one tells one how much time they put into both of the games.

    Quite the sadness, I used to love Valve's games.

    People can do what they want. I thought the first L4D game was great, i haven't ever played a game like it.

    Yep, but what else can you do with Zombies? All you can do is kill them. They are trying to make it more interesting by adding more ways to kill them. The graphics are quite well for a game on the Source engine.
