"The Passing" has only 3 of the L4D1 survivors?

[sevlag]

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

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.

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.

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.

If they kill louis I will uninstall L4D.

I am glad to see new L4D content though.

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

Listen to your fans Valve, kill Rochelle.

L4D2 Characters have no personality.

Or good vocalize commands.

Don't do it.

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.

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?
