I also remember Francis also likes mittens, except I don't know where or which part of a level he said that.

Hey Italian, how's the crossword going? And I also want to ask, I read that Francis also like mittens other than vests, do you know where or which part of a level that he says he likes mittens?

Oh, ok. EDIT 1 : Oh wait, maybe I could just forget about it since the value of that game decreases. With Left 4 Dead 2 coming right up, I won't be bothering it anyways. After L4D2, I wonder what's next? My guess has to be another Half Life which I don't want, so I should expect a Counter Strike universe for at least 2 years later. EDIT 2 : WHOW! Just recently, when I was playing Death Toll and kill the tank after exiting the church, after killing him, his body still rolls around as though like he's breakdancing. LOL, what an unexpecting bug, awesomely done, Valve! ;D I wish I could record the video, but unfortunately, I don't record gameplay videos and do not have the right software & tools to do so.

Hey Kokush, what heppened to you, happened to me too but on Survival, the Crane map to be precise. The Tank's corpse started to roll around like an helium balloon xD. I lasted over 5 min unless it came out from my sight xD. I did screencaps, I have to upload it as soon as I'm back in France. And for L4D2, well, I saw on internet a huge movement of boycott of the game. Here are the reasons taken from the petititiononline petition : Valve releases a Left 4 Dead 2 only a year after the original game was released, leaving us to pay another 50 bucks for updates they promised we would get for free to the ORIGINAL game. Instead we get the same game, just with new characters and another setting, but still fundamentally the same game. And only a year after the release of the first game. Points at note here are: 1. It is still far too early to be speaking of a sequel. A year between the first game and its sequel is a real record time, not giving people enough time to feel bored with the old game, or giving enough time to get it developed enough to be balanced. Give it more time before releasing 2. People aren't willing to spend another 50 bucks for fundamentally the same game in another shell, especially if they were promised many of the updates for the original game for FREE. 3. The new updates in the sequel could just as well fit in as a free update to the original game, as noted above. There is no point in creating a new game just for these updates, especially if the original game is less than a year old. 4. Valve is starting to act like EA, which is a bad, bad sign. And it's true that EA is behind the publishing of Steam games recently. And we all know that EA are responsible for milking out money of every franchise. This could all be something along those lines. After all, it's EA. I se what they mean about the bug fixing or multiple glitches. One i used a lot and which seems to be patched now is on the Crane Survival map: if you stick with the crane as much as you can nobody can reach you except Smokers : normal infected get stuck by the ladder or will reach you but 1 by 1 and are easily destroyable, the Hunters will go inside the crane right above you, the tank will throw some rocks & stuff and then suicide. What about boomers ? They simply won't spawn. There's tons of other bugs so it's what they mean. Also Left 4 Dead 2 seems a lot like a Left 4 Dead but on daytime. As an examble, the noise of the incomiming zombies is just the same in L4D. I'll wait & see about it & make updates

Well apparently the HL2 adventure is over. But apparently a third opus is on the way. What is not clear is that it's going to be an episode 3 or an HL3. A screenshot and an artwork are on internet but it's not sure if it's a fake or not: Here is the screenshot : . Apparently a fake but it's not sure And here is the artwork :

Half Life 3 has not been mentioned yet as I heard that one when I was listening to one of IGN's interview videos, so there's no confirmation yet. AND if you had read the previous post as far as Page 3, I had my points written out how come the boycott of L4D2 happened including why certain fans do not appreciate the sequel. Anyway, Valve did learned that mistake and admitted it, so they're not like EA, Valve managed to recover from their errors and will give updates to L4D1 if they see one. All they need to do is to put their reputation back on good tracks, while EA on the other hand, you guessed it, they'll continue to go onto the bad tracks and approaching to the worst tracks. Valve also violated the new rules (Which is no.3) based on the Bill of Rights which was recently released after Left 4 Dead 2 was announced, which affects Command & Conquer 4, and Left 4 Dead 2 is no exception. www.gamepolitics.com/2008/08/29/stardock-releases-gamer039s-bill-rights-paxEDIT : Well Italian, I found the summary of what's the reason of the boycott, you can read them all in this article. www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/92174-Valve-Fans-Form-Left-4-Dead-2-Boycott-GroupBut if you read in Wikipedia or any latest IGN articles, Valve should recover from their mistake AND it's only a mistake done once in their life time and the lesson should be learned by now. I think.

Thanks for the second link Kokusho. I found the reasons on another website but I lost the link. So thanks for that. And I agree for most of the facts: -They announced cool stuff and effectively it never arrived. A great example is the number of weapons. Around 15 were announced and well.... We can barely reach 10 - This is probably true, no amazing changes happened -L4D and L4D2 look effectively identical. Only the characters change - a little - and the moment of the day: L4D1 : --> Night time, L4D2: --> Daytime - The character designs $uck effectively. The black dude in the trailer looks like a black francis with more hair. - L4D2 too colorful. Sure it is. The black dude's shirt is sunshine-yellow colored. It's not something you expect in a zombie massacre game. A little like a Dead Space with necromorphs who wear Santa suits :/ - Quality of updates is going down and down. Only bugfixes & stuff. Nothing else So I don't really have faith in L4D2, unless it goes in an opposite direction, that L4D1 don't explored, like the beginning of the zombie outbreak.

You can say that again, but at least from time to time, Valve still should be ok to deliver the goods. While EA on the other hand, they will not, they may ignore fans and will just earn the money, nothing else. Valve will never betray us even if they did mistakes that looks like a betrayal. We can forgive them, although I don't know how it is in their official forum, either L4D2 & the devs are forgiven or not.
