    I forget who exactly said this to me (was Pooky or Sever I think), but I think Rochelle was meant to be a dry, bland, boring, unlikable character; she's wearing a Depeche Mode t-shirt. %-)

    i was mad as hell about bill. I knew that if a character was going to die, it would be him, but he should've gone out in a cool way. He was obviously the most skilled person of the bunch, it doesn't really make sense to have him die when the others survive unless he's making a sacrifice for them (which would make sense because hes like 65 and their all young).

    According to lines and autoresponses by Louis and Francis, he got splattered by a Tank while getting the bridge raised.

    Re: Fact: Valve doesn't care about L4D1

    When I played either L4D game with my friends, we never paid much attention to the characters' dialogues (we aren't native English speakers in the first place), so we really feel nothing about the cast having changed.

    Guys, L4D2 is way better than L4D1, so it doesn't matter. Besides, L4D2 is priced cheaper than what a lot of retail expansion packs for other games are. For example many RTS games price their expansions at $30 or higher (at release I mean), yet L4D2 is a full-on sequel and it's less than $30 right now despite being out for less than half a year. Many other games can sit on shelves for over a year and still cost over $40.

    I don't see any reason to boycott the game when it's been out for so long. I myself was somewhat opposed to the game when it was first announced since I did feel it was too early for a sequel, but after I saw how much new stuff they were adding I changed my views. Plus, over the december break Valve very generously offered the 4 pack for $100 (and the individual game for $33) even though the game was barely 1 month old then - is there really any reason to complain any more?

    Oh yeah guys if you own both L4D1 and L4D2 there are mods that let you import the maps and character models over to L4D2 (since they use the same engine). So you can play No Mercy with melee weapons for example, if you love the L4D1 cast that much.

    Also, as far as the character arguments go: Nick is acceptable. got damn.

    Not a mod, an actual update. Besides, if you're not hearing(understanding in your case) constant announcements of nearby objects, your playing l4d wrong.

    well we do pay attention to the subtitles of dialogue like "pipe bombs here" or "I hear a witch," or "weapons here" etc but other than that, nothing else. We don't pay attention to the other types of dialogue so we don't really understand the "personalities" of the characters, hence we have no favorite or least favorite characters. Whereas when I play with university friends in Toronto, I was quite surprised to see people arguing over who gets to play a certain character.

    my friends and I went to an international school that teaches primarily in English so our English is competent enough for us to understand most game dialogue but outside of class we almost never use English hence we rarely pay attention to the English dialogue in L4D. It would be awesome if Valve could translate the L4D2 dialogue into Arabic or Hindi, lol.
