I hate unnecessary sequels
#6
It's not really confirmed WHAT it is. As some people pointed out on the rockpapershotgun post, they might take a hint from other games where it's like an episodic expansion
... like half life actually

Or like City of Heroes is doing.

I kneejerked in my original post but I'm still apprehensive; it still seems kind of dickish
....and those character designs are fuggo.
Wait!

This, although it's about the original game, MIGHT be relevant:

"“So each time we’ve released one of those [updates] for Team Fortress 2 we’ve seen about a 20% increase in the number of people who are playing online. And that number is really important because it determines how many community created maps there are, how many servers are running, and so on. So we’ll do the same thing with Left 4 Dead where we’ll have the initial release and then we’ll release more movies, more characters, more weapons, unlockables, achievements, because that’s the way you continue to grow a community over time.”"

They might still be sticking to this and maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised. I hope so.

I'm STILL apprehensive because it seems very weird to name what is essentially an expansion as though it were a sequel.

PROBABLY BEING REALLY KNEEJERKY AND REACTIONARY NOW I FEEL KIND OF LIKE A DICK. This could go either way.
