On the latest episode of Gametrailer TV Chet Faliszek explains to Geoff Kheighly how there will be only three of the original survivors to appear in the new DLC. There will be new, future DLC for the original Left 4 Dead that leads up to the events in "The Passing" that will force one of the survivors to make the ultimate sacrifice for his team.Why do the L4D1 guys have to die, they were the best characters...

Rochelle should be the one getting killed, that way nothing of value will be lost.

Also, see Aerowyn? They're following through with their promise!

Dear Valve,

Stop trying to inject plot into the L4D games.

Love,
Everyone

P.S. If you could, stop making cast members and go back to the original four.

[Sasc]

What's wrong with the new ones? I think they're great.

no

[sevlag]

money is on bill not making it...some sort of last minute heroic shit

it will be one of the guys because they said HE not one of THEM

[thehoodedsmack]

Money on them going further and releasing DLC where you have to fight a zombie-fied version on said teammate.

[Aerowyn]

My money's on Bill had a heart attack and kicked the can before they made it down south.

[sevlag]

Money on them going further and releasing DLC where you have to fight a zombie-fied version on said teammate.cant be louis, remember there are no black zombies in L4D

[n00b1n8R]

If Francis dies I will never ever buy l4d2.

[flibitijibibo]

All good reasons for Rochelle to be killed instead. Bill/Francis are too badass to actually die and Louis can't die thanks to the power of peelz (and what sevlag said).

Also, I don't mind them putting some plot/story into the L4D games, even if it means one of the best survivors dies. I mean, think about it: we're having discussions on characters we think will die/shouldn't die. It may not have been done through super complex characterization, but we managed to find some personal attachment to at least one of the characters. It may not have been totally necessary, but it makes the game a lot more fun.

Then again, I think we can agree that Rochelle blows because of the lack of character. :shrug:

its one of the L4D1 survivors, not an L4D2 one, besides rochelle is in the same category as louis...

my god i never knew a zombioe apocalpyse could be so racist...no black zombies

I don't think they're getting rid of one specific character. I think you can still choose your character, but in their future DLC one of the players will have to sacrifice themselves ingame. It'd be pretty silly to force one character to die. It probably happens during the finale somehow, you have to run back and trigger something so the rescue vehicle can get away without you on it. Then, in The Passing, there will be simply one less player slot in the server.

[Aerowyn]

Bill/Francis are too badass to actually die


Bill is old. All of the other characters in the game are young and generally fit (Coach is fat, but at least he's younger than Bill). Bill could have suffered a fall and busted his hip or something.

[ICEE]

Bill is old.

So is Bruce Willis but he's still too bad ass to fail.

I agree with the notion of the player choosing which survivor dies. I will choose Rochelle Black Zoey every time. If they force bill to die, I will be very angry.

[Inferno]

If they kill louis I will uninstall L4D.

I am glad to see new L4D content though.

[sdavis117]

If they kill any of the L4D characters I will hate Valve for the rest of existence.

Listen to your fans Valve, kill Rochelle.

[Inferno]

L4D2 Characters have no personality.

Or good vocalize commands.

Don't do it.

[Yoko]

L4D2 Characters have no personality.
Or good vocalize commands.

Nick says "Ahh TITS," Ellis has good "My buddy Keith..." stories, Coach is just fat, Rochelle is dry as heck.

I'm gonna spam Gaben with emails until he decides to kill off Rochelle and bring back Zoey

[Ganon]

Hopefully Zoey will be added to the playable characters in all l4d2 versus maps so I won't have to aid Rochelle's search for KFC off ledges anymore.

[p0lar_bear]

Cool it...

Also my money's on Francis, and this decision's influenced from an article I read in a GameInformer about character names; Bill comes from William which comes from Willahelm, "will" being passion or desire, and "helm" of course is a helmet. Louis derives from Ludwig which means "famous warrior," and Zoey derives from an old greek word meaning "life."

Francis, on the other hand, comes from Franciscus, which means "Frenchman."

Who's the weakest link?

[Bodzilla]

p0lar i swear to god you must have nothing better to do.

[p0lar_bear]

Hey, I just read it and regurgitated it. vOv

[Bodzilla]

i think it's time for you to masturbate.

[sevlag]

its gonna be bill or francis

[Inferno]

I hate cliches, and climaxes, and irony...

I hate stories.

[Sever]

I think it'll be random each time you play through, having 4+ different dialogs.

[flibitijibibo]

Anyone up for some L4D1? I feel like getting back into the "old" game before they release the DLC.

[Inferno]

Talk to me on skype tomorrow. I will install L4D just for you babe. We have to get ganon too though.

[sdavis117]

I'm in, been waiting to have a chance to play L4D with people I actually know.

[ICEE]

I dont think the l4d2 characters are entirely without personality. Nick is pretty cool. Ellis gives me something to hate. The l4d1 characters aren't really any more full of zest than the new ones. I will agree that rochelle is entirely worthless though.

[Phopojijo]

Keep in mind:

Valve are trolls.

-still waiting for it to go on sale-

[sevlag]

would play if i had my laptop

[=sw=warlord]

Yeah its probably not Louis. The black guy always lives to the end in horror movies.

[Inferno]

I would send angry emails if it were Louis. Because Louis is the funniest.

Also if they killed off the only black guy in the game... It would be bad for them I'm sure.

[flibitijibibo]

If you don't have L4D2 yet (http://www.modacity.net/forums/showthread.php?t=20037&p=525807&viewfull=1#post525807)

18.75 per person using 4 pack.

[flibitijibibo]

Double postan because sdavis and I are on L4D2. Everyone, get in here.
