Seems too soon for a Sequel to come out.
I think most of the stuff would have worked out just as good as a update.

then again, what do i know?

Thanks for the heads up V_R

Wow, $60 for the new L4D? Like you say Alf, it does seem pretty soon after the first L4D and you'd think it would have been an expansion pack.

I'll probably pick this up at some point, but only when steam have it on offer I think

Do you play L4D on the PC much? I've probably asked this already but I can't remember

A couple of months ago I had a phase of playing it loads, it's good fun in small batches!

I play it every once in a while - survival mode certainly lives up to its name!

Although this meme is rather overused, i found it rather entertaining. I suppose some people dont want L4D 2 just yet.
