Wait, we can't play as the originals? ...S-screw you, Valve.

I'm gonna go curl up and die now. Ryo626 02:52, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Why can't we play as the old survivers in all the other campains? like, be able to choose 1 of 8 for an online campaign to mix it up (like, Louis, Ellis, Bill, and Rochelle or somthing?) or even choose one for just a single player game. Idk why they couldn't just do that, i know it would make tons of people happy. dissapointed in valve bigtime.

I can see this coversation after the DLC is released....
Bill: The subway station can take us to Mercy Hospital; Theres a re-

Rochelle: Bill honey can this wait please?

Francis: I hate subways.

Ellis: Well, one time I wuz with ma friend Keith, we were flying a Chocolate Helicopter, Keith was piloting it with Chicago Ted, and we flew over a subway to a hospital!

Francis: I hate Ellis.

Nick: Hey, Hillbilly 2.0

Francis: Hey, stupid dude who picked a tux, I hate tux's

Bill & Coach: Concealed chuckle*

Zoey: Hey louis ! Check out this weird barf bottle! EW!

Louis: Thats just wrong ....

Ellis, this is how its works silly!

Rochelle: You nincompoop! Raises gun*

Sure It Is Between Dead Center and Dark Carnival?
Don't they just driving from Dead Center to Dark Carnival? Like the only thing I can see is they stop for gas for the race car but that is taking the Hard Rain campaign idea? --Sinic20 04:06, December 15, 2009 (UTC)Sinic20


 * ""The Passing" takes place just after the Dead Center campaign of L4D2." Think of it this way. Say you end Dead Center with no health kits and low ammo. Where did the first aid from the beginning of Dark Carnival come from? :P Also food. Eating is fine too. Jo the Marten  [[Image:Mini Hunter.png]]( Shriek )  ಠ_ಠ  04:07, December 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually it makes a lot of sense being between Dead Center and Dark Carnival, you know... the L4D2 Survivors call the SI all these weird names, Jumper, Puker, etc., and it's not until they meet up with the L4D1 Survivors that they learn the correct names from them, Hunter, Boomer, and so on... As for why do they have to stop the car, I frankly have no idea why it may be DeathBlade182 09:42, December 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * In the thrid and fourth levels of Dead Center, they call them the correct names...--'Iron Tacoz 450 RO A R! 20:33, December 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * Seriously? Never noticed it :/ DeathBlade182 03:34, December 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * Pointing it out because you said they dont call them the right names until after they meet the L4D Survivors.--'Iron Tacoz 450 RO A R! 05:16, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

It could be called "the passing" for a reason, they could possibly drive by the other survivors and then stop and join up with them. where to get weapons or ammo or health they take two different paths where occasionally throughout the level they run into each other. just a suggestion. JaymzHunter 22:39, December 15, 2009 (UTC) JaymzHunter

Maybe they see the L4D survivors, stop and walk with them, and then have something really bad happens to seperate the groups, so they go back to the car in hard rain fashion.Purplemonkey55 22:39, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

No, what happens is the l4d2 survivors are driving, they run over the original survivors, and THE END! User:Toastwolf117


 * Lol, totally worth the $6.25 it'll be to buy it.--'Iron Tacoz 450 RO A R! 01:15, December 20, 2009 (UTC)


 * If they die I'll throw my 360 through a window (yeah, 'cause that'll have no downside). I like the original survivors. Imperialscouts 04:04, December 20, 2009 (UTC)


 * While a Hard Rain like scenario is most likely, it could be something else. For example The survivors could have to lower a bridge in order to continue to drive the car to New Orleans. The finale would consist of lowering the bridge followed by the surivors running back to the car. Altriitivly, a large obstical could be in the cars way so they decide to go on foot, then they discover a way to destroy the obstical in order to drive the car again.--Verno 22:20, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

Here's my idea. Maybe the new survivors are driving by, when they notice the old survivors. The old survivors need help, so the new survivors leave the car behind to help the old survivors, each chapter they save a different survivor, and the finale would be caused by the original survivors escape vehicle (piloted by Chicago Ted) but the new survivors take too long and Ted brings the original survivors to safety as the new survivors simply have to escape to their vehicle. Which for some reason is very close by, perhaps the whole campaign was a large circle. There was no backtracking, they just somehow ended up where they started. --LazyLord777 00:36, December 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * WHy does everyone love Chicago Ted so much? He has one thing in either games, yet so many people think he is the best. He made one comment that anyone could. He's not that big of a deal. He's probably dead, anyway.--'Iron Tacoz <font color="SaddleBrown">450 <font color="Olive">RO <font color="LightGrey">A <font color="Indigo">R! 00:32, December 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't like him. I was trying to think of someone from the first game who wasn't definately dead who could save the original survivors. --LazyLord777 00:55, December 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * Personally, i'm thrilled at being able to play the original survivors again or at least see them.(Maybe they will have new skins, like scars and injuries)BUT, there is one thing on my mind. The passing is set in between Dead Center and Dark Carnival and the l4d2 survivors meet the original survivors. Then why aren't Bill, Zoey, Louis and Francis in the car with Ellis, Coach, Nick and Rochlle at the beginning of Dark Carnival. Does that mean they will die in the finale? *GASP!* Sabrelord 11:56, December 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * Or it could be that Jimmy Gibb's car only has 4 seats. I'm sure there will be a reason, don't worry. :) Jo the Marten  [[Image:Mini Hunter.png|I dare you to click Mini Hunter|link=http://l4dwiki.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=viewprofile&user=venatorphile]]( Shriek )  ಠ_ಠ  11:23, December 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * A car like that only has two seats. They would hardly be able to fit 4 people in a 1970 look-a-like race car let alone 8 people plus weapons and equipment. Jus' sayin' - EB683


 * Actually, if it is a racecar it would only have a drivers seat. The rest would be taken up by fuel cells and the rollcage. Also, this is a car from the `70's, it's freakin huge. If it were a an unmodified Charger it would have a split bench seat in front or 2 buckets(depending on year and options)and a bench in back, meaning 5 or 6 could ride in relative comfort. The trunk is plenty large enough for all their equipment and/or sneaking up to 3 people into the Drive-in. 8 people would not be much of a stretch, Zoey and Ro could sit on laps. Of course in the event that thousands of blood-thirsty zombies were chasing me I'd be happy to squeeze into a Yugo to get away.--JiNX Bloodfang 07:40, January 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Here's my ide-r. The new survivors are driv'n down that there high way till they come up to a barricaded road. They decided to walk around on foot to lower the barrier and allow the car to cross (Crescendo Event). However, Ellis left the car running which wasted all the gas. So they have to find more gas cans in the surrounding area, preferablly the gas station 2 miles ahead. On their way, they run into the old survivors who agree to help find gas (more people, more gas to carry). They must cross through a small town to get to the gas station, running into more zombies and shit. They get the gas, go back an alternative way, fuel up the car, and drive away. Now, I don't know how exactly they're gonna make it so the old survivors don't come with unless they make a cutscene (which goes against the entire game), and since there might be 8 player co-op the people playing the old survivors aren't expected to participate in the events expected for the seperation. I don't know

I agree. Yeah, put in a thing that'll block their way. But i think that it should be that the new survivors have no idea where to go or where they are. But the old survivors offer to help, if the new survivors can help them with a little vehicle trouble. Seeing as Eliis is a mechanic, the old survivors can also have an escape vehicle, once the vehicle is fixed the new survivors make a run for it back to their car (they take a shortcut rather than backtracking) which will be what i'd call a "Rolling Finale" like valve calls the new crescendo events, "Rolling Crescendos", and the old survivors will stay in their vehicle safe, while the infected attack the new survivors on their way. And once the new survivors reach the rescue vehicle, both leave in different directions. (probably not in the direction of dead center.) What ya guys think? I think it's a good idea. --CHARG3R 23:56, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's a good add on to my idea, but keep in mind that there may be an 8 player co-op for the survivors. We can't expect each group to go in seperate directions as they might be expected to stay together or goof off as most online assholes do. Unless of course the game splits them up so that there is no way for either group to be in physical contact with the other. The only way to communicate with eachother could be through a wall or an intercom. Or maybe the escape vehicles for both groups can be located in the same area so that if sticking to together is the tactic, they can all finish the game in the same area and time. I don't know what to expect

Okay, crazy idea from me but maybe this rural town is somekinda makeshift civilian evacuation camp that was overrun by the infection, so the Survivors are trying to get through while not only salvaging supplies but also trying to get through many blockades designed to halt the Infected. Like, one scenario could be to find explosives scattered around a part of town to blow up a blockade, or opening a gate or something along those lines. As for the car, they could park it on the outskirts of town or summat, so they take a route into town, blowing up barricades and stuff, rest in a turning point safe room, but because of the damage they did to prevent the Infection from slowing them down, they have to take a different route back to the car. If this does happen, then the game could give them Tier 2 weapons to start with, but as they take the route back they'll find limited ammo piles and mostly Tier 1 weapons, which would explain why they have em at the start of Dark Carnival. I have no theories on how the old Survivors wound up there, other than that the hideout they were goin to was overrun and they hijacked an APC or something to escape, and they follow military and CEDA maps to New Orleans. But in matter of fact, if Valve omitted the helicopter wreck from Swamp Fever, then it would have been more effective to put the Passing between Dark Carnival and Swamp Fever. Good ideas? --User:BRogue XDeth 14:04, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

Yes! Thats it! Make it so it's like Hard Rain, and you have to backtrack. The survivors get stuck from like a bridge that needs lowering or something, they get rid of whatever stands in the way. And on they meet with the old survivors that decide to help them and then you go back, but something happens when they get back, like in ridding themselves of the original barricade, they make another in the process, so they have to do something to get back to the car, but it triggers a finale like The Parish, where they have to run back to the car. And make a separate vehicle for the old survivors to get away in. Maybe then later valve can add a campaign for the old survivors after they have met with the new ones. Whether it's in L4D1 or L4D2, I dunno. I don't want them to stop working with the original.CHARG3R 00:26, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

My idea for how they escape is that there is a plane that's going to leave and go to Arizona, and all of the Survivors fights against the horde when trying to get gas for the plane. However, the plane could only carry four more Survivors, and the new Survivors decides to let the old Survivors go on the plane. Then the Survivors find out that the had gone in a complete circle: they see Jimmy Gibbs Jr's car (I thought of this, since the Survivors come in by car in Dark Carnival) exactly where they left it: in the middle of the road, out of gas. So they get the gas they originally got for the plane to fuel their car, and in the end, they drive off yet again. - Koopster 64 Febuary 20th

Good Questions Here
I understand no one knows any more about this than I do, but I was wondering: How is this going to work? It's always been only four playable people at a time. So, will the L4D Survivors be AI all the time? Be playable in a new mode for eight players? Will we only be able to play as the L4D2 Survivors, or will the originals be playable also? Will this inlude the "More info on how the Infecttion started" that Valve promised us? (This part I don't really care about as much): Will they find more graffitti by Chicago Ted? Will the originals use melee weapons? (I know that seems like an odd question, but I just feel that there is a different feeling from both generations of Survivors. The L4D2 ones seem to be fine with getting covered in blood, like from a Chainsaw or Axe. But Bill, Louis, Francis, and Zoey seem to have a different air around them, being that they would be disgusted by being covered in blood, when the Coach, Nick, Ellis, and Rochelle never make a comment about it. Can't explain it, don't ask me.) Will the originals be surprised to see the new SI? Will they already have encountered them? Or will they be totally new to them, like the L4D2 ones were to all Infected at the beginning of Dead Center, and be like "What the hell is that green thing?". Will this download make the L4D2 Survivors mention the originals later on in Dark Carnival or other campaigns? And, finally, will it explain why the original Survivor team is down South in the first place? If they were rescued at the end of Blood Harvest, why are they now down South? And, how will there dissapearance for the rest of the game be explained? Will they have been rescued for good? And, if so, why wouldn't the L4D2 Survivors be rescued as well? Will the go their seperate ways? They would definately have to explain why. If you are in a zombie apocalypse, don't you think a team of eight is better than four? Or, will they simply just die? I hope it doesn't come to that...

 * I want to know about VS and Scavenge, will they be 8 v 8? How crazy would that be? What I want most though is to have the L4D maps available to play with the new infected. I'm betting that one will be with the GOTY if at all.--JiNX Bloodfang 20:25, December 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * Wow... gets you to think. I think that maybe you choose which survivors you play as, to keep 4v4. I dont think melee weapons will be a problem, all survivors should be able to use them. I think that the L4D2 survivors will have told the L4D survivors of the infected, hence how they learnt the names of previous infected, so maybe they thought of names together. I cant think of explanaitions for all your questions but I can guess that the L4D survivors were maybe getting evaced in the south (since north was infeced) and they then lost their driver. I apologise for spelling and grammar i wrote this on the fly. Galaxy  guy26  (\___/) 13:20, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

If The Passing will have a max of 4 fighting survivors like all the other campaigns, several scenarios could fit the mold.
 * The survivors have to split up in order to complete a common goal. A connections between the 2 survivor teams, like a friendship, could compel survivors to switch sides. So, for example, Nick and Francis might know each other and would want to stick together. Maybe the 2 crews don't trust each other so the switch around survivors in order to make sure each side does what it is suppose to.
 * When the 2 teams meet, an event causes the teams to unwillingly split up and mix up, such as a barrier being created after an explosion.--Verno 20:54, December 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * I think it will go something like Vs only without the SI, the OS (Old survivors) will need something the NS (New Survivors) have and vice versa. So they work together (one team helps the other team out from a distnce perhaps a sniping minigame?) then once the goal is acheived they go on their seperate paths. Perhaps hinting at future DLC featuring ONLY the OS?? Like an explaination as to how they got down south in the first place. --Formaldehyde 22:49, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

That's what i wanna know? no 8 v 8 in vs?! so unfair unless it's 4v4 with choice of survivors!--CHARG3R 23:59, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

The simple reason for them being down south, is that if you remember, Evac Point Echo was taken down, and the Army only came back to Evac Echo to pick them up and escort them off to another evac point. At the beginning of dead center, If you go into the map room, the survivors comment the only Evac point left is Nawlins, so the army must have picked them up and taken them down there. How they meet up with the L4D2 team could be a number of reasons. 62.31.74.206 14:37, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

Survivor Relationships
Alright, gentlemen. Here's a wacky thought.

What if we get enough communication between the two Survivors to include their relationships on their respective pages? A little flirting between Zoey and Ellis? Perhaps a mutual understanding of each other between Francis and Nick? A great deal of respect shared between Coach and Bill, or even a conflict of leaders? And perhaps, a brother/sister type thing with Louis and Rochelle? Who's to say, really? I bet Valve knows.

It's a funny idea, but there just might be enough information on it. We'll see. -- Five Dog  <font color="RoyalBlue">Talk <font face="comic sans ms">Read 18:09, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

I would have thought that Zoey and Ellis would be firting and Francis gets jelouis, or how in the first chapter of dead center, how they call eachother hey miss and stuff, like how NIck calls Rochelle Sweetie and Babe, if nick starts alling zoey Babe and Sweetie that Francis will get mad. And rochelle and Louis? Lol and Coach gets mad! but what about bill? since his voice actor in Crash course was on vaction, and he never said anything new, mabye BILL will be like the Leader or something.

Fatal logical error my friend, they may have been going south but when they were resqued by by the army they were probably forced to go south to get on the cruise ships and go to the only safe place for americans; The ocean. I assume they met because the zombies overran the vehicle they were in or the group.--Prof. 18:22, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

Besides that, according to Crash Course, the only remaining evac zones are up north (in PA) and down south, since the one in PA is abandoned by the time the survivors get there, the army would probably try to bring them to the one in the south, however, the zombies (probably a Tank) could've destroyed the truck. --LazyLord777 00:43, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

Canada's a VERY big place. No doubt they tried to come to Canada.

Canada still could be infected. mebbe airplanes carrying carriers or bitten people crashed in canada, started the infection and turned our friend in the north into hell. So then, they still could have found a need to go down south.

(I'm Canadian BTW) Well If it went south, Then it went north. We could be fighting them in California in L4D3. I even made A logo for the game. Go fight on a ski resort, Hold out in Winnipig, or just have a good time, eh! CrazyWitchhugger 02:42, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

 * I doubt that it would be five chapters. I expect that it will be two but I'm hoping for at least three or four. Unlikley that it would be anything over three though.Imperialscouts 04:18, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

I think it will be 5 Chapters. If there is still a 4 playable survivors limit and if the campaign does in fact "feature a meet up", then there will have to be enough chapters for all the characters to be playable and be mixed up a bit. Also, I don't think Value would make "the most important campaign in the Left 4 Dead story" less than 5 chapters. However, I wouldn't mind a shorter versus campaign for Left 4 Dead 2, just not with this important meet up storyline. --Verno 22:47, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

Better not be like crash course, I was pretty excited for that, but it was too short, and i was dissapointed. No offense Valve.

Verno, wheres the most important quote from? cite? Valve might just punk us again. MrChemyCal 21:06, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

If it's not one of us...
This is a joke, so don't be mad to me because I added this here. In Left 4 Dead, Zoey says: If it's not one of us... kill it. Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 characters have not seen each other before, so the campaign must be really weird, because Zoey kills all new survivors... --ŊυĐε 10:43, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

8vs8 Will not be a Reality [Official]
There is a new article on L4DMods stating that there be no 8vs8 versus games, based on what programmer at Valve said. Personally, I wasn't really surprised or heart broken.--Verno 15:00, December 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * Ha, me niether. Only way I see that coming is for like the next game in the series. Which shouldn't happen soon. Imperialscouts 18:39, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

i play 8vs8 matches on the pc so valve is talking bullshit. halflife2guy

How in the world do you play 8 vs 8? Do you mean 4 vs 4 where there are 8 players total? Cause there can't be more than 4 people to a team on Versus at the moment. :| Jo the Marten  ( Shriek )  ಠ_ಠ  18:23, January 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, they said on the PC...which means they're using an unofficial mod. If Valve has said there will not be 8 vs 8 multiplayer, they mean it will not be officially added or supported. As such, it would be impossible on the 360, and only possible on the PC through the use of 3rd party mods. Dan Dark 22:03, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

Theory for Setting
Ellis crashes the car from Dead Center into the evac truck the L4D1 crew are riding in? -Archaeic 21:34, December 22, 2009 (UTC) But if when you start the Dark Carinval one, if you look behind you, there is a truck crashed in the background...
 * The stock car is seen in perfect condition in dark carnival. How would a stock car survive crashing into a armored APC? Imperialscouts 21:49, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * The stock car isn't exactly in perfect condition by Dark Carnival, but it definitely wasn't hit by an armored truck. However, the stock car could almost hit the truck, dodge it, but then crash into something less destructive. Also, the campaign is set in a rural town in Georgia.--Verno 22:55, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with Verno's theory.
 * Great, so how did an APC that started out in Allgeny (or something like that) Forest end up in Georgia? Imperialscouts 05:53, December 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * Imperial, they abandoned the Mainland, so they were obviously heading to board the ships. USER:.:.Troubled.:.
 * Ships? They never mentioned any ships, so obviously you are refering theoretical ships. Why couldn't there have been ships closer to where they are? I suppose you could argue that the ships in the North have already left and the ships down south haven't left yet (maybe) because the area wasn't hit as hard. But then why was there a military outpost or whatever that was in the forest if the closest evac was so far dow south? Again, I suppose there is an explaination for that, but everything becomes more and more unlikely the longer this goes on. Also, just for the record I'm not trying to be mean, merely logical. Imperialscouts 06:10, December 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * He's talking about the cruise ships the military commandeered that hold any Survivors the evacuated out. These ships are in the Gulf of Mexico, and thats where the rescue chopper at the end of The Parish takes them. The reason there probably weren't any ships nearer Pennsylavania is because that area was completely overrun with The Infected, so their wasn't anyone to evac them. That's the ships he was talking about.--<font color="DimGray">'Iron Tacoz <font color="SaddleBrown">450 <font color="Olive">RO <font color="LightGrey">A <font color="Indigo">R! 23:25, December 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * A possible reason for bringing the survivors down south, according to the map in Crash Course, the only remaining evac zone is the one down south. That and the one in Blood Harvest which by the time the survivors reach it, it is already overrun. --LazyLord777 18:23, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

Well they can't possible Drive in a APC to Georgia. So a helicopter is needed. So another Helicopter crash I guess and The 4 new guys will have to make it to another car lot to find a working car. If it is 4 player only then the other 4 would be in the car. The Finale I need Ideas for...CrazyWitchhugger 02:29, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

Ive been doing some research on L4D2 (German Version). And I found out some melee weapons that might be in The Passing:

Kinfe Sledge Hammer And I found out about some weapons that we did not get but others did:

SMG AWM SG-552 COMMANDO STEYR SCOUT So theres only going ONE new firearm and ONE new melee weapon.. we'll just wait and see if any of these are it.


 * Two words: Bathroom break. Also, hurrdurr a majority of the weapons you named are for the Germans because they didn't get gore. Even I knew that, and it didn't take "research". 69.12.204.149 23:15, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

From what I've gathered
From what I've gathered, it looks like "The Passing" has something to do with the L4D and L4D:2 crew's helicopter pilot. And them possibly being infected afterwards.

And my gut says it will explain more about these "Carriers" that we hear about at the end of The Parish at the start of the Bridge level. And "Infected Survivors".

Anybody have anything?

Um, no. Also, The Passing takes place between Dead Center and Dark Carnival, so the events of The Parish will not have taken place yet. Nelo Angelo 97 19:26, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

It says it takes between Dead Center and Dark Carnival, So there is no helicopter pilot, its Jimmy Gibbs Jr's car.--Boomette 19:45, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

How Is This Possible?
Okay, didn't the original survivors die at The Last Stand level or something? So isn't it impossible for the New survivors to meet up with the old ones?" Camster103 20:22, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

Nope, somewhere I read/heard that Last Stand is what would happen if the survivors took a wrong turn. It was from someone official. Meaning it didn't happen! Imperialscouts 20:26, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

Don't forget that out of all of L4D's campaigns, only No Mercy and Crash Course have continuity. I've always regarded the other three campaigns and Last Stand to be alternate realities. P0lar bear 19:13, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Not to mention that there are Survival options for all the others campaigns as well, which, assuming that Last Stand was canon, would mean that all of those were technically canon as well.

How can you be almost certain? You have no evidence to support that. It will probably be something that isn't found in the game files.

 * Peek-a-boo!

Well, I honestly don't think it's gonna be the riot shield. It takes up half the screen, and there's already been a riot uncommon common, maybe add it to The Parish. I think it could be the MP40 and the knife. I've seen a video of a guy with an MP40 and a knife for weapons. And it seemed pretty cool.CHARG3R 21:42, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

new weapon is a mp5 new melee is a lead pipe new uncommon is a civil war reenactment soldier forgot to sign in its totemtrouser
 * You have any proof to back this up? They all sound...semi-plausible to me. A H&K MP5, while not overly exciting, would probably be a practical weapon; a lead pipe...yeah, sure, why not. And a Civil War reenactment soldier? Seeing that they're in the South, that could potentially work. (I'd assume most of them would be Confederates, of course. XP) But, again, do you have any proof, or is this just speculation on your part? --Dan Dark 20:50, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

alll speculation the mp5 is in all the posters and the german version of the game so i guessed it be a good wepon the lead pipe is a easily found item and idk how a civil war guy would effect the game buts all i could thing of 24.14.44.202 21:45, January 17, 2010 (UTC)totemtrouser24.14.44.202 21:45, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

The only thing I could think of for a melee weapon would be a shovel. Mainly because they've used all of the practical TF2 melee weapons (axe, machete, baseball bat) except for the shovel.Captainium 20:03, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

Someone said it can't be the riot sheild because it's uncommon. But now a katana isn't exactly common is it? And I heard somewhere there was originally supposed to be a flare gun in the game. If they modled it after the TF2 version then it would be like an incidenary grenade launcher. Like say the grenade launcher is the explosice ammo, then the flare gun is the incidenary? Idk. That was full of spelling errors. MrJoe95 04:27, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

New gametype?
I've been wondering what this'll be. My guess is a 4 vs. 4 team deathmatch game. The L4D survivors vs. the L4D2 survivors. And while they're all fighting, the Infected would also be trying to kill them. I've also been thinking of 4 vs. 4 vs. 4, with the same concept but other players can control the Infected. It's TF141 vs. Shadow Company vs. Ultranationalists all over again! Niel15

I guess coop isn't deathmatch... And no. Just no. <font color="Yellow">Aratinga A. Ѭ 13:26, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

New Info
Apparently, the new survivors won't be face to face with the old survivors, much like Whitaker how he merely helped them through an obstacle so you can get by. So I guess the old survivors just simply cover you while you get to the rescue vehicle or help you out at a distance or even do what Whitaker did and clear the way.

кPoster
I really hope the poster isn't the official one as it's pretty ugly. Regulust 08:38, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * I honestly think it is. I really really do. Ellis' neck is eff'd up, Coach has one arm and barely a wrist (plus his face was pretty much copied from The Parish), Rochelle looks weird (I like Rochelle so you won't see any "Hurp Rochelle is ugly) jokes from me.), and then the laziness of just copying the Survivors from Dead Air. Hell, look at Louis' leg! Who has a leg like that? It's a freaking rectangle. It also lacks a tagline. I think the biggest hint of all are the "credits" at the bottom. Believe it or not, those are unique for each campaign, and the credits here were taken from Hard Rain. So with all this evidence, I don't know why people keep assuming it's official when we only saw it on Destructiod (who use to think the Haggard was official need I remind you.)

...They copied the survivors from Death Toll, not Dead Air. Just thought I'd throw that in...Captainium 22:31, February 13, 2010 (UTC) I also just realised something else... The old survivors in the background don't have feet on their silhouette because it's from the Death Toll poster and you can't see their feet on that.

Golf Club & Other Weapons
If a golf club is the alleged, new melee weapon, how do you think it will work? I think it will be like the crowbar and will only decapitate the part you aim at. As for the M60, do you think they will change the single magazine and give it more ammo? And speaking of that, where is a new gameplay video?

I hope there is a flame thrower though, it would take as long as a Molotov to kill a Tank. It should have gas, like the chainsaw, too. Pikmin  1254 

Hopefully both new weapons appear outside of The Passing aswell. Also the golf club decapitate something? Since when can you decapitate with a golf club? It'll be like the Tonfa or Frying Pan and will not decapitate. Regulust 01:52, February 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Look at the Baseball and Cricket bats. In real life, you couldn't decapitate someone with those. The golf club would have a better chance of doing so, as it has a heavy head, which is what you would hit infected with. It easily could be like the Nightstick or Frying Pan, but I doubt it.--With care and happiness, <font color="Purple">Supermutantslayer450' <font color="Indigo">ROAR 02:03, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

If you used enough force with a baseball bat or Cricket Bat you could decap someone. No amount of brute force using a golf club could decap anyone... It should be quite apparent. ಠ_ಠ Regulust 03:59, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

No, no one except, maybe (and I stress maybe) Mr. Galaxy could really decapitate someone with a Baseball Bat, Cricket Bat, or Golf Club. You would have the best chance with a club, though, as the part you would hit someone with is the heavy head, which would give you more momentum, and, therefore more force. But, in real life, you couldn't get a head off with one of these weapons. But, I would be really surprised if you couldn't get a CI's head off with a club.--With care and happiness, <font color="Purple">Supermutantslayer450' <font color="Indigo">ROAR 04:03, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

Upcoming DLC for L4D1-Companion to The Passing?
"An upcoming DLC for the original Left 4 Dead will tell how the original Survivors came into The Passing."

Wait, where did this info come from? I've watched the trailer like 80 times, and I didn't hear that. Where's the verification for this? 'Cause I hope it's true! Nightmirage 04:09, February 13, 2010 (UTC)Nightmirage

It was announced with the new screenshots from The Passing. More info when The Passing is launched.CrazyWitchhugger 04:38, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

They also announced it on the Xbox 360, in an interview about the The Passing. PD400 0:6:52, February 17, 2010

"Don't sweat it, Ellis. At least you got us out of that mall"
I have a question... the quote above is one of the responses that Nick says in the beginning if Dark Carnival... but isn't the Passing supposably after Dead Center and before Dark Carnvial? Are they going to erase that quote... or update it with a better one? 71.156.3.53 17:05, February 13, 2010 (UTC)NewbieSim

Maybe they have to get out because something is blocking their way and then they get rid of the blockage o use the stock car again? Similar to Hard Rain. Regulust 05:33, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

When the L4D1 survivors appear.
The L4D1 survivors will meet up with the L4D2 survivors where they will set up Coach, Ellis, Rochelle and Nick up for the rest of the chapters, where they will meet up for the Finale.

It says so here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF98cRYLLs8

Someone deleted my previous edit regarding the first survivors meeting up with the second survivors. I have added it again. I haven't made it up and I have gave a link about, so I think it should stay. Hohenstaufen 18:43, February 14, 2010 (UTC)Hohenstaufen

Who keeps changing it to they will meet up in the third chapter?? Watch the video I have supplied above; On the video, Chet says he is starting from the second chapter because he doesn't want to show you the L4D1 survivors in the first chapters, as he wants you to get the full impact when playing. Watch the freaking video.


 * It is stated on multiple sources that the old Survivors meet the new ones in the first chapter, leave, and then reunite in the last chapter to help them escape. Watch more than just one video. ;) Jo

It's Left 4 Dead 2 so it should go without saying you'd play as only the Left 4 Dead 2 survivors. Regulust 07:09, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

Proof?
cam someone find proof for: In a gameplay video, you can see the Midnight Riders tour bus speeding across a street. This may mean the Midnight Riders are, like the Survivors, trying to escape, or the people in the bus may be the Left 4 Dead survivors. because i have never seen a bus in the videos i saw --Totemtrouser 01:39, February 17, 2010 (UTC)totemtrouser--Totemtrouser 01:39, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

So, who do you think is on the bus/want to be on the bus?
I think it could be the Midnight Riders - but I don't want it to be! I want it to be the Survivors! What an awesome way to arrive. But, judging by the video, I think it is the midnight riders, I can't imagine the survivors, driving around in a big illuminated bus honking the horn as the drive through streets of infected.

 * He said it would be web comic, and the web comic will not show how the survivors got to the Passing. There's a DLC coming out a month after the Passing that will explain how the Survivors got there.Whachamacallit 18:57, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

3 Possibilities
Chet has stated in an interview that there will be one of three courses the campaign will take. One being Ellis having a crush on Zoey, talking about her throughout the campaign and somehow affecting the finale. (Aw I hope he doesn't get sad when they seperate. Ellis is my favorite character.), the second being some sort of confrontation between Nick and Francis. (Not friendly. Oh well, they're my two least favorite anyway.), and now to the buisness part of this, an unknown third. I heard somewhere a leadershuip struggle between Bill and Coach? But that would've only really worked if the entire group was together... Thoughts? MrJoe95 07:17, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

--Oops, sorry, just found it :D Sorry about that, I woke up early this morning. MatthewLepore 12:34, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

Wait, I thought Chet said that in the beginning levels, there would be ONE of the scenarios that play out (ZoeyxEllis, Nick/ Francis, etc.) and then throughout the campaigns (depending on which one of the scenario was chosen by the Director) The characters would continue talking about what happened/ their thoughts (etc.) about it... during the 2nd and finale levels of the game. NewbieSim 16:14, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

-He Did. Sprry my wording was unclear. MrJoe95 23:55, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

Personnally, I hope by god it won't be the first one. That's just so stupidly cliche. Or if it's that one, Zoey shows no sort of attraction to Ellis except in maybe a friendly manner. But the second one sounds quite commical.Whachamacallit 19:11, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

Don't yell at me, go yell at Chet. MrJoe95 19:50, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

I feel like Zoey really won't show any mutual attraction to Ellis. And I think that situation could be really funny because we all know how Ellis spins stories. I don't see why everyone's so upset about it. Nightmirage 04:49, February 21, 2010 (UTC)Nightmirage

I don't see what the big deal is. 1. Boys constantly hit on girls their age (some even not their age). So it's not like it's anything uncommon. And 2. It's a zombie apocalypse. To find someone in your age range that isn't a flesh eating zombie, it's no surprise he might be a bit overly releived. Gotta keep the species alive, you know. Jo the Marten ( Shriek )  ಠ_ಠ  05:04, February 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah I agree with you. I'm pretty sure if you guys read some of the fanfictions or see the fanart of Nick/Ellis, you'll be begging to see some minor Ellis/Zoey in here. Probably an overeaction since I like my two favorites interacting like that, but seriously, the fanart and fanfictions are WAY too much @_@.


 * UGH. Don't remind me. Brings me back to my days as an Avatar fan (the TV show, has nothing at all to do with the recent movie)... the horror... come to think of it, that was another thing that annoyed me about this. I'm preparing for an explosion of Ellis/Zoey crap. Please note: I'm not 100% serious. Well, I am about the avatar thing. Imperialscouts 02:30, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

I think it's quite possible to be attracted to someone initially by their voice. Plus if Zoey is the first girl other than Rochelle that Ellis has heard of, I don't blame him for getting rather excited. As for Nick and Francis, I'm just assuming they're both just being their usual, snarky selves and end up pissing one another off before they even meet.Nightmirage 00:15, February 26, 2010 (UTC) Nightmirage

Ever seen the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead?
