WHAT THE ****? It's looking so good I tought this wouldn't happen... Oh well...
Just some days after Valve acquired Turtle Rock :O
Well if you think about it it's not such a long time... it's actually... ****.
Thinking about it, actually, it will be worth it. I mean, all ep2 delays when it looked just "done" made it so much better. It will be worth it.

Dammit, if only Valve didn't make quality products, that way it would easier to bitch about this sort of thing.

[Letters]

Hahaha, I saw this coming a mile away with the Valve acquiring Turtle Rock announcement! A good thing, though, I think. Left 4 Dead sounds good, but it's not really looking all that hot yet. Needs something... hopefully Valve gives it whatever that may be. :P

[Rapstah]

They're so putting it into the EP3 box. :p

[soulslicer]

ep3 box? I expect that in the end of 2009

[Xendance]

Oh, that sucks.

[Naph]

Meh, more time to enjoy Brawl since its sooner than this :(

Great. I don't.

Well, that'd be stupid. Because L4D is a full $50 dollar game, which means that either the Ep3 box will be >$70 which would mean no one else but dedicated fans of Valve would ever buy it, or they gotta sell the box for $50 dollars and seriously underprice L4D.

[Parrot of doom]

Oh come on. Like nobody was expecting it?

[L4D]

I think people probably were, but it's still a bitch when something gets cancelled when you're longing for it. I blame the suits for this though. They demand timescales from devs and then we (the fans) end up bitching at the devs when nothing arrives on time. I'm sure TRS would have preferred to have not given a date at all.

By the way, it was not a 'release date' it was a target date. Subject to change. Get over it. ;)

[SolidSteel144]

At least we know Valve will be putting their quality into this game. In which case I believe L4D is going to be the best Zombie CO-OP ever.

[L4D]

the best Zombie CO-OP ever

Are there other Zombie co-op games I haven't heard about??

[FeliX 450]

lol you read my mind

[Xendance]

Jesus Christ Mother of God. I thought Left 4 Dead had been delayed further since you bumped this topic :|

[Avoidist]

Likewise. Now THAT was scary. Zombies got nothing on delays.

[scotland1]

God my heart skipped a beat there.

I think we need to crucify whoever bumped this thread... get out the pitchforks and torches.

Actually yea it kinda has. They are now aiming for Fall in the new PC Gamer and OXM Magazine.

[Avoidist]

So what month range in what year is that? (Southern/Northern hemisphere problem for me).

[L4D]

September/October time this year.

[Spaz]
