New Passing Info

New Passing Info

So in yesterday night/this morning's interview with Chet, he gave some pretty cool information (depends on what you call cool). Apparently, before the Passing even starts, one of the l4d1 characters will have died. Not Francis (He "has new things to hate") or Zoey (Ellis gets a crush on her). So that leaves Bill and Louis. Bill's voice actor isn't returning (just like with Crash Course), leading me to think its Bill.

Too lazy to find the link so look at l4d2 forums. (It must be hidden in one of those threads)

Further reasoning for why it can't be Louis is that he is black. Must be politically correct at ALL times.

 

I think you meant "So that leaves Bill and Louis"
Poor Bill.. better start opening them closets!
And Ellis with Zoey? Saw it coming lol

 

derp yeah i meant that means bill and louis
thanks for pointing that out
If it wasn't me who posted this I would just say to defib him but...

 

im sure i saw a concept pic of louis with some beard

 

I still don't get why in the poster there is the silhouette of all 4 of them...

 

Good to see you edited in my point about Louis :3 damn peelz.

When is The Passing going to be released?

 

Valve said late march which in valve time could be anywhere from april to may

 

Its valve so theres going to be a problem or 2 that will push the release back to mid summer

 

I say September. After they've announced L4D3.

 

If they announce L4D3 before HL2:EP3 i'll go to Chicago (I think Valve is based there) and politely ask Gabe to reconsider his decision and if he doesn't you will be able to hear my tantrum all the way back here. ohh yeah, i mean buisness baby, look out.

 

Bellevue Washington

 

Derp... I may be wrong. Found this on steam forums.

I was just reading through this but i have heard from people that it will include all 8 characters, all 4 from the original and and all 4 from the sequal.

I don't know if this means double people in a team or if it means you get to choose your characters, it may even mean that they split into two groups and you play as different people in different chapers, all i know is it will be hell if there is 8 special infected!!

 

My original source was an interview with chet from GTV.
New source is the blog update. Here is a link to a new more updated thread for this discussion/with the blog update posted
https://www.gamingmasters.org/threads/4097-Left-4-Dead-2-is-now-50-off!-also-new-dlc-info!

 

I read somewhere that in L4D1 the players themselves are gonna choose which char to kill, but in L4D2 u can't choose and u find out what the "real" choice is.

 

That's a possibility. That would be good for l4d1 dlc. Also, if this does happen, the comic valve announced will defintely go in depth on the character's death.

 

I imagine Valve has already thought of that and added something that will make people want to play that character; Driving a vehicle for the team, getting some epic gun, getting to play through a seprate bit of the level with no SI by themselves, etc - Unless it isn't fixed of course..

The L4d 1 characters are unplayable but help you out.

It will also have the golf club, the fallen survivor, a new type of witch, a new sniper and a new co-op challenge mode, i dont know what yet.

It will also come out with the comic that links on from the end of the original game, probably explaining the death of a character (if one).

Also this may add on may perhaps have you playing as the original in l4d 1 and at the escape scene perhaps one will die?
