Game developers don't influence whether I buy a game, it's the game itself. Valve done amazingly with L4D and a few of my mates had it, so I decided to get it. I was following it quietly for a while to the build up of its released and it looked cool so I bought it without even playing the game. My views on L4D2 are somewhat different, so I'm definitely going to try this thoroughly first before I buy it.

As I've said before, I don't mind the idea of using an axe or a baseball bat, but other melee weapons are silly.

Pros:
-More of the same, which is great.
-Extra content. E.g New weaponry, new maps, and new everything in general.
-Made by valve

Cons:
-Gonna cost 40 quid just for, what is essentialy an update.

Thats all I can think of in the cons dept. really

quote Storm

Valve aren't known for quick sequels though, this is a first time for it, doubt it'd be a trend, they have already stated that we won't see an L4D3 next year, but who knows?

Source of them saying there won't be L4D3 next year?

I hate "the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence" argument.

Cons:lack of overall support so far of the original game. All I can honestly say is that Valve needs to put some more campaigns into the original, because I don't like the new survivors at all, aside from Nick.

Source of them saying there will be a L4D3 next year?

That's completely irrelevant. He was just asking for the source where Storm read that there wont be an L4D3 in 2010, it's not like he was suggesting there will be a game. Geez.
