The fallen survivor's gunna be in it! YES! I knew it! I'm so happy! Andy Brubaker 07:08, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

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.

left4dead 1 was the first time valve has made a dlc, survivor dlc was awsome,crashcource was ok. left4dead2 even more disapointing with this dlc cause for the longest time we all thought valve was gona let us play as the old suvivors.(wrong!) valve needs to get there act together NOW!!!

Halflife2guy 16:39, March 2, 2010 (UTC)halflife2guy

I'm pretty sure that Valve didn't add the L4D1 survivors in Left 4 Dead 2 because of balanced gameplay... because if you think about it, most people would fight over and argue to play as the L4D1 survivors (And don't deny this, people have fought for far less) rather than play L4D2 survivors.... besides, if we could play L4D1 survivors in Left 4 Dead 2, that would make the Left 4 Dead 1 game obselete since the L4D1 survivors are in Left 4 Dead 2, and all further attention (Patches, DLC, etc.) would go into Left 4 Dead 2. NewbieSim 03:55, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

I think Valve actually made a really smart choice in not letting us play as the originals in The Passing. I agree with what the person above me said, and I'm also excited that Bill, Francis, Louis, and Zoey get a whole new campaign of their own! Nightmirage 04:00, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Seriously, guys! if you want to play as the left 4 dead survivors in left 4 dead 2 Just Get The Skins!!! I really don't know how nor do I really care but that's the closest your ever going to get. So cool it with the dissapointment with valve k? And if you want to do an 8 v.s. 8 versus or even 12 v.s.12 versus, then just go out and go to a modded server. Like I said before I don't know how but I do care for this one. So just get that through your heads OKAY?Junedude433 03:24, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with the person above me. Valve did much to make this game and to be disappointed with them simply because of such minor things really shows how much we take things for granted. Besides, it is not like modding is impossible, unless it is the Xbox 360 Live you're talking about. If you seriously want to play as the originals, why not stick to Left 4 Dead 1, like I do. Besides, it is a DLC for Left 4 Dead 2. Survivors from Left 4 Dead 1 would probably never be playable in Left 4 Dead 2 because they are not the main cast in the sequel. LoneWolfHBS5 03:37, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with some of you. I do want to play with old survivors too, but this is Left 4 Dead 2, not Left 4 Dead episode 2. ŊυĐε 09:01, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

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.

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

I have a pretty weird idea. The Old Survivors are trying to survive and holdout in the Last Stand, and the New Survivors happen to drive by. They pick them up, and drive them to georgia, where the Passing then takes place.Dalekdude101 03:30, March 12, 2010 (UTC)Dalekdude

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.

 * i would want the old achievements put back in, or even new ones for the old infected.

The person above me has no tolerance for jokes. the person above the person above me has no tolerance for people who try to rain on other's parades.

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)
 * Who says there couldn't be evac zones in Canada? XSuperGamer 01:34, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * Who says Canada would even LET a bunch of possibly infected refugees enter their country?Whachamacallit 15:14, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

Canada's a VERY big place. No doubt they tried to come to Canada. But they would have to travel VERY far through tough terrain and probably decided to head south instead.(Also to support my theory, Most of the part of canada that connects to America(THE BORDER :P) Is the Canadian Shield, The most badass rocky terrain in THE WORLD)--Ill97 06:29, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah but the terrain would be tough for the infected too wouldn't it? XSuperGamer 23:05, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

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)

Chapters
Are we sure, or are we just assuming there are five chapters, I don't care if we are, I'm just wondering that's all. I don't want to be disappointed to only have 2 chapters to enjoy the old survivors. --LazyLord777 00:51, December 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * With as little info we have about it, yeah, we are assuming, I agree though: I hope it has 5 chapters.--<font color="DimGray">'Iron Tacoz <font color="SaddleBrown">450 <font color="Olive">RO <font color="LightGrey">A <font color="Indigo">R! 00:56, December 21, 2009 (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)

On PC It is possible. I actually used to play in a server of 8 vs 8. Just multiplicate both teams with mods, double the team, double the action, double the jackasses that run for the safehouse/rescue (Bridge L4D2) and leave teammates behind, so I wouldn't care if 8 vs 8 won't be a reality. -- LaZa  08:28, March 6, 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)

Chet said that Last Stand was if the survivors took a wrong turn, them dying at the end of it is not canon to l4d's 5 campaigns. Regulust 18:18, December 30, 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)

Well, currently they don't have coninuity, Personally, I think Blood Harvest is the last campaign though. (In l4d)--Prof. 15:19, January 8, 2010 (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. Last Stand is really a 'What If', Fanfiction-ish idea at best. Nice story, but doesn't really affect the characters. Wave Maker 02:14, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

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

Because Fallen Survivor carries health and grenades etc., they should be really rare to find. The whole campaign would be too easy: "Oh no... I'm on black & white, 1 hp and no pills or med-kit. Hey! Fallen Survivor." Shoot it and take med-kit. You are saved. ŊυĐε 08:59, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

When is this coming out!
Oh my god!! It has been a good 4 months since this page was set up, and we still dont have any more information regarding what we are to expect!! We haven't even gotten an exact date as to when it will be released, but they did say earily spring so that should be very soon. So why aren't we getting anything? Honestly, have they even made this DLC yet?


 * Technically it's been 2 months. And it'll come out sometime next season. Just be patient. 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  19:11, February 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * By 'next' season do you mean next year's spring, or the season coming after this one?
 * She means this year's spring. And spring isn't here yet. It could still be a month or two before it comes out. As Marten said, just be patient.

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.) That's all I have to say about 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."

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

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.

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)

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.

-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.

 * 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.

If they don't, how it is possible that Ellis has crush on Zoey, Nick and Francis have "friendly discussion" and everything if they never SEE each other.. AND, I'm sorry about that raging few days (weeks?) ago, I had bad day.... Sorry 10 million times... ŊυĐε 14:35, February 25, 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? The male survivors, Michael, Glen, Steve, CJ, Tucker, and especially the police officer Kenneth become good friends with Andy, the owner of a gun shop across the parking lot of the Crossroads Mall, where the survivors are holed up, despite never meeting in person until Andy becomes infected. Through the use of white-boards and walkie talkies, the Andy and the survivors play Chess, hunting games, and share information. MatthewLepore 15:24, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

Where does it say they don't meet face to face? I thought they met in Chapter 1 and again in Chapter 3. LazyLord777 20:02, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

It might have been deleted or something, but I'm sure, that I read it from somewhere. It was in the notes section, or at the beginning of the article, but I'm too tired to search for it right now. I'm 99% sure about it, that the information is somewhere there (1% chance that it was my dream D:) ŊυĐε 13:43, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

I found it now! It's in message named: New information. Read it. ŊυĐε 13:49, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry... It's: New Info. ŊυĐε 13:50, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

The Happy Sexshop
Okay... the store's name is actually "The Happy Sexshop", and not actually "Happy Sex Shop"...

Interestingly enough, I was so amused with this that I decided to google it, and I found that this store actually seems to exist: http://images.travelpod.com/users/sianeth/amsterdam07.1179960660.img_0116.jpg

any thoughts? could it be a reference to this sex shop on Amsterdam?


 * this is REALLY odd...and for some odd reason, it reminds me of Kill Bill's Pussy Wagon--Loub 12:29, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Guys this is a wiki... If you want talk about dirty things in the game use the forum. <font color="Yellow">Aratinga A. Ѭ 15:00, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Well..Ignorance is REALLY a bliss...

what kind of dirty thing am I talking about? I am just pointing that "The Happy Sexshop" is probably a reference to a real life store; .there is nothing dirty about it, unless your mind is full of toxic waste and fish shaped stuff.

unlike some people, I think with my BRAIN, and not my GONADS...

And the image is also a safe link, there is no strong graphical content in there, I am just pointing out that it might be a reference to that store, it is relevant, safe and on-topic--Loub 15:09, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Okay..since no one seems to care, I will mention it on the trivia section by myself--Loub 20:36, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

About the sewers/drains
I know this is off topic but I think this is a bit of a running gag in the Left 4 Dead series. In No Mercy there was the sewers, the drains in Death Toll, the sewers are going to appear in the Passing, and also in the Parish there is the sewers [ or drains]. I actually felt like sharing this with you.


 * Or the fact that these towns/facilities have underground plumbing... 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  03:38, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not only that but once the Passing comes out, we'll have to go through the sewers twice in both games. LazyLord777 01:01, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

I don't really care. But I would walk through a sewer just to play The Passing CrazyWitchhugger 04:34, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

Anyone notice?
Probably just my overreactive imagination, but there is what looks oddly like the face of a Tank or Boomer on the campaign poster. Directly above the butt of Coach's weapon on an overhanging shop sign. As I said, it's most likely just my imagination. JPanzerj 14:14, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

I see something there, but not any kind of face... ŊυĐε 16:09, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

Witch's New Skin?
It keeps being put up in the article that the witch is supposed to be getting a new skin for The Passing. Does anyone have proof for this or is it just a rumor that keeps resurfacing?Nightmirage 21:14, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

Go ask Jo the Marten CrazyWitchhugger 04:35, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

I think there should be an achievement to kill the Witch Bride. One Wedding and a Funeral?

Sorry, for deleting the picture there. We didn't need it. My quick suggestion, "Here cr0wns the bride"...

That picture is really bad, but picture is picture. Now we have proof that there is new Witch skin. Wedding Witch, nice idea! And sign your posts. ŊυĐε 12:59, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

THE UNSURVIVOR: Kill 10 Fallen Survivors CrazyWitchhugger 04:27, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Let it be not 444 but 4000 then... I miss "genocidest" achievements from l4d1)

This would be harder (and better), if it would be: Kill 10 Fallen Survivors before they notice you. And this is just my thought, of course. ŊυĐε 11:10, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

Well 4000 kill's with a golf club would be hard CrazyWitchhugger 03:21, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

The Price Is Wrong!

Kill 100 zombies with the Golf Club.

That one is genious! Here would be my picks.

'''Continuity Assured! ''' Complete The Passing with all survivors alive...

Blackout Shmackout  Survive the darkened sewer crecendo event...

'''I Swear Im Not Aiming! ''' Empty your M60 of its ammo without hitting ANYTHING exept living zombies...

Frenenemies Forever  Meet the other team of survivors...

The Only Club I Need  Kill one of each special infected, excluding the Tank, with a golf club.

Those are my five ideas. --Desert Rat, not from Nevada. ATEFI man and proud of it! 00:31, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Here's Some more of mine. Lets see if we can get Jo to make one upCrazyWitchhugger 03:21, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Just Passing or New Friends: Complete The Passing Campaign

I can Top That: Kill 6000 Infected while playing The Passing

!New Faces: Kill a Spitter, Jockey, or Charger while playing as one of the Old Survivors (Only If we play as the Old survivors.)

!Fresh Kill: Attack one of the Old Survivors as a Jockey, Charger, or Spitter (Only If we play as the Old survivors.)

Pound of Meat: Kill a Tank with Special Tier weapons (No Gernades, No melee, Gas can okay)

Path Clearer: Kill 75 zombies with One clip of the M60 Machine Gun

Wedding Crashers: Complete a Survival Round on The Passing / Park Wedding

Gas Lesson: Complete a Scavenger Mission in the Passing (Gotta show them How we Roll)

Team Effort: Win a medal in a Passing survival match with all the Survivors alive

Every Shot Counts: Kill x amount of Special Infected with one drum of M60 ammunition (no more than four or five)

Oh, and CrazyWitchhugger, we won't be able to play as the old Survivors in L4D2, and it's a magazine, not a clip. :P TheDesertFox 23:22, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

!Til Death Do Us Part: Find the Witch bride and kill her with no Survivor casualty (This is depending whether or not the Witch Bride is real)

Down in the Dumps: As any Infected, incapitate a Survivor during the Sewer Crescendo

Hole in One: Use only the golf club throughout the campaign

Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow: Complete The Passing

I Don't: Avoid any witch encounters

Err... that's all I can come up with haha NewbieSim 02:46, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

Just wondering...
I like that theres going to be new acheivements, and the ideas people are giving are awesome, but was this ever actually confirmed? Or are we just going for common sense? The Game, Joe. 23:34, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure nothings been confirmed yet. Yonobi 23:48, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

None of the actual achievements have been confirmed yet, but someone from Valve (Chet, maybe?) did say in one of the videos that there will be new achievements with this DLC.Nightmirage 00:29, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

OF COURSE they gonna add new achievements, as they did with Crash Course for l4d1. That's no doubt. There's no chance they wouldn't do it.

People also thought that there was no way they wouldn't make the original survivors playable in The Passing. And sign your posts. The Game, Joe. 05:23, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

Ah, my bad. I thought it's auto-signing. But they did add new achievements for Survival Pack, and for Crash Course, I don't see any reason why they wouldn't repeat that with The Passing. That's just logical. Urik Kane 12:58, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

True true. And sorry if I came across as bitchy. The Game, Joe. 16:35, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

Ok just found a link. New acheivments are confirmed.

The New Witch Skin Is True!
The New Witch skin does, in fact, exist. It can be seen two times during an OXM Interview on the Xbox Live Spotlight section. She is wearing a white dress (whether this is a wedding dress or not, I don't know) and I think I might've saw her wearing a new hairstyle. Hopefully someone can get the interview online. MatthewLepore 18:22, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

EDIT: Yup, it's a wedding dress, and she [i]is[/i] wearing her hair tied up. MatthewLepore 18:34, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Can you please show this video link? Or just a link proving this? NewbieSim 19:05, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Here: http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/2752/witchbride.png The Game, Joe. 20:58, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

But this picture raises questions. Most importantly, where did it come from and how did the poster obtain it? Does someone out there already have a copy? The Game, Joe. 20:57, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

And finally, what if this is fake? 166.205.10.165 23:06, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

I just deleted that image and put it below in the images section. I think putting it there really broke the format in my opinion. I hope nobody minds because I know how much I hate it when I deletes my additions! Also I can say for myself this picture is in fact genuine! JokersFlame 23:52, March 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * I just highly doubt they'd change her skin just for this campaign, unless this Witch is a SET Witch made for the wedding part of the campaign. Not only that, but I don't see how anyone got to play it yet outside of the gameplay videos by Valve themselves. If someone got the campaign early, I want it too. Simple as that.Zalbaag 23:56, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Did anyone read the OP?...The video is for the Xbox 360 only!...That means wait your turn for the video!JokersFlame 02:53, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

Just watched it. It's true CrazyWitchhugger 21:45, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

RAAAAAAGE!
Sup. As you well know, a photo of the Witch in a wedding dress has been posted in The Passing article. Now ever since I saw this, I've been looking high and sober for the vid that revealed this. I've checked Youtube (nothing) Gametrailers (nothing as usual) and even Googled the vid (nothing "THANKS GOOGLE") So if anyone knows where the vid is, post the link on The Passing article.

68.195.130.114 22:10, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

Appearently, it's in a video only for those who own an xbox. MrJoe. 23:21, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

I can't understand that why that vid is only for those who own xbox... First of all, FPS games are made for PC, (Mouse + Keyboard <3) VALVe loves PC <3 and that is why they give us free DLCs. And i really hope that DLC is released earlier, because I still can't wait >.<! I'm whacking my head to wall to spend time faster! Go Go Go, VALVe! ŊυĐε 14:18, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

Hey Nude, totally agree with you. And person above me, if you're going to say stuff like that, specify who you're talking about by name. Are you talking about me or nude? And why do you think that? Give an intelligent, thought out answer please. And sign your posts. With love, MrJoe. 20:03, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

The fact that they released an exclusive trailer to the Xbox doesn't mean anything. You're reading way too much into it and trying your best to start a fight between the elitists and me (you know, the only Xbox-player on the wiki :P) Another thing is, your argument isn't even factually correct. VALVe doesn't give PC free DLC's because they love you guys. They give you free DLCs because they set their DLC prices. Meanwhile, Microsoft sets DLC prices on the Marketplace. Also, completely irrelevant, but I was wondering, are there any elitists out there who are pissed off because STEAM is being released to the Mac? MatthewLepore 13:41, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

It was'nt so much of a trailer then just some gamplay footage, also Valve wants to relase DLC on the Xbox for free, but mircosoft forces them to charge for it (and least its cheep for only 580), and on the PC vs Xbox agrument, I find it really hard to aim on the PC, also i have to play with low settings or i get Low Framerates and other problems, so i'm on the Xbox side. Expect for TF2 then i'm on the PC User:Fireside

Music
There was a note stating that the campaign's music is played on a pipe organ. Removed music note until proof is given. Saying "I've seen it in the xbox video" does not count, as some of us don't have access to it. Once it is on the internet somewhere, I will accept it as proof. MrJoe. 00:51, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Here's the evidence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0d_unhnCWQ

Just listen for the music in the background.

Hmm I don't think so. That could just be music gametrailers put in. They've done it before. But I really hope it is pipe organ music. MrJoe. 01:29, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Some of what Chet Faliszek said in the video above: "So, in the beginning of the Passing, you play as left 4 dead 2 guys, <...> you're on your way to Dark Carnival,and you're in your Jimmy Gibbs' car, and you get stuck, <...> and then you start talking to left 4 dead 1 characters,and that gonna set you up on your mission, you'll go through a little bit, and they'll actually join you in the finale and help you complete your mission and go out in Jimmy Gibbs' car to New Orleans"Urik Kane 15:44, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Another piece "And so, we write, it's me, Erik Wolpaw and Jay ?????? kinda all sitting in a room and kind of hash out how it's gonna work out, and we just had all of the different like,what if... what if Ellis sees Zoey and falls in love with her, what if Francis and Nick go out at it... mm....So, instead of giving you like this half-hour cutscene that contains all of this,what we did was... The Passing more than any other thing that we've done in Left 4 Dead is... There's over 30 different versions of what happen in the first map, and it also carry through,so, <...> if Ellis is falling for Zoey, he'll actually talk about her through the rest of the campaign, and the final meeting in the finale will be different."Urik Kane 16:00, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

btw, the video shows us a regular Witch, haven't spotted any wedding ones.Urik Kane 16:02, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Original Survivor Picture Removal.
There is currently a picture in the gallery of the beta version of the original survivors, stating that "This is how they wil appear in The Passing." It is not, as far as I know. The picture was just used in a video interview with Chet. If it is, we need proof. I tried to remover the picture, but couldn't for an unkown reason. Help? MrJoe. 01:21, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I was told by a friend that they would look like that, and I hadn't seen the picture before, so I believed him and added it here. Sorry about that. Yonobi 01:47, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

Thats the beta version of the survivers, I don't think they will look like they do in that picture Ayllus 03:11, March 17, 2010 (UTC)Ayllus

Totally agree with Mr.Joe. This is just a picture Gametrailers used when Chet Faliszek mentiones old Survivors.Urik Kane 05:59, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

Suddendly: Fat and haired Francis, Haired and different clothed Louis, Different clothed Zoey and Bill. Seriously, you would care about clothes if there was a zombie apocalypse raging on outside? I'd just put up an gasmask, something with a hoodie and I'm ready to go.

I'm putting on 5 layers of clothes.CrazyWitchhugger 05:02, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Poster change?
There is a note that states "Unusually, the weapons that the Left 4 Dead 2 Survivors are holding are different then before in the poster. Ellis should be holding an M16 but it appears he is holding an M4A1, not found in the game, Coach has an unloaded G3 Sniper Rifle and Rochelle seems to have an AK-47 with a different stock and Nick has a Hunting Rifle with no scope." Does this mean different then the poster before? If so, can we see a side-by-side comparison? If not, does it mean that the weapons they are holding on the poster are different than in-game? Because that is not unusual. MrJoe. 02:45, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

Now that it has confirmed that there will be character death, the poster might not be the final anyway Ayllus 05:29, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

only one wedding witch

Is Bride Witch an explanation why all Witches cry? Maybe they all were Brides before, but their fiance all became Smokers, so they teared off their dress, and went away crying?Urik Kane 21:12, March 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Somehow, that sounds far-fetched. Imperialscouts 02:18, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with the person above, its highly unlikely, I think its probably the same way the Jockey got mania when he became infected, the Witch probably got depression, hence the crying, either that or shes sad that her manicure is ruined Ayllus 03:16, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

I was just joking, of course.Urik Kane 13:29, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

Oh I see its a joke, I get jokes XD Ayllus 14:32, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

A lot of people have double weddings to cut down on costs and stuff. There could be more than one bride witch. I can't wait to really see her! I think this was a really awesome idea on Valve's part.Nightmirage 02:42, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

I second that Ayllus 03:55, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Killing off one survivor?
apparently one of the survivers is going to die, I wonder who it would be, apparently Bills voice actor died so it could be Bill Ayllus 04:47, March 20, 2010 (UTC) AyllusJohnlmonkey 05:29, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Its true. Confirmed on GTTV. With love, MrJoe. 05:02, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

I have got to admit its a pretty big twist Ayllus 05:06, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Also, it can't be Zoey or Francis, due to the confirmed possible interactions that can take place. And so it probably is Bill. :( With love, MrJoe. 05:07, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Aww D: I dont want any of them to die, especially not Bill, D: though I would rather Bill than Louis to go Ayllus 05:09, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Why, Valve, whyyyyy? I'm glad my Zoey is safe because I loves her. If it's Louis though, I'm becoming a hermit and going mute.Nightmirage 05:10, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

I second that! Ayllus 05:13, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

I need this DLC to come out NOW! And if they kill the optimist...I just...I have no words.Nightmirage 05:14, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

I would probably need greif counselling for severe grief Ayllus 05:17, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

I will start the grief support group if that happens. (P.S. I think we have a problem lolz)Nightmirage 05:18, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

I think a grief support group would be nesscecary anyway because its one of the original survivers, people are more attached to them than they are with trhe new survivers Ayllus 05:22, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Also, what does this mean for the next DLC-the one that tells the continued story of the original survivors? Will the one who dies not be playable or will they be playable up to a certain point?Nightmirage 05:28, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Bills voice actor is still allive Johnlmonkey 05:33, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Crap that means that there is a chance that they might kill off Louis! They could make the character playable up until the finale, then kill them off somehow, eg they have to die so taht the other 3 can be rescued Ayllus 05:31, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

I'm quite glad Jim French is still alive, but they just can't kill Louis! *hugs him*Nightmirage 05:33, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

I'm going out on a limb and guessing they might do the dead survivor (lol oxymoron) dynamically. One time it might be Bill, one time it might be Louis... They announced on GTTV that one survivor will have to sacrifice himself in the L4D1 DLC that ties into The Passing. It would make sense that, in the game, the same survivor wouldn't get stuck killing him or herself every time. I'm guessing that Valve will mix it up.

It would be a possible explanation for the different scenarios, but then the passing wouldnt be considered cannon Ayllus 05:38, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

That would REALLY mess with what was canon and what wasn't though. I feel there needs to be SOME consistency.Nightmirage 05:35, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

I actually think the survivor will most likely die at the end of the campaign after everyone has boarded the rescue vehicle. Ex: Falling out of a helicopter or something at the end cuscene Johnlmonkey 05:39, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

I can't help but feel somewhat responsible for the death of one of them >.> I was the one who speculated on what the original Fallen Survivor was.....so yeah >.> oh god please dont kill bill >_< Deathhacker 05:36, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

I can see why they are calling the campaign the passing D: If you want me I will be in the corner crying like a witch. Ayllus 05:43, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

If Louis dies his headstone will read "Here Lies Louis (and his PEELZ)" Johnlmonkey 05:45, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kKWn_u0kMw Here is a YouTube link of Earl Alexander, Louis's voice actor, confirming he recorded lines for LEFT 4 DEAD 2, not Left 4 Dead 1. So Louis is confirmed to come back. Bill's voice actor wasn't in Crash Course, and I doubt they could get him to come back again, so he must be the one who has died.

actually im not sure if that should count as a comfirmation that hes in l4d2 especially when it seems like the whole thing is just a joke and this is from back in september. Johnlmonkey 05:55, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Bills voice actor dead? Oh man.... Then it's good that Bill will die, because it would be stupid if Bills voice in The Passing sounds more younger due the younger voice actor ect. And how would he die, ideas? The most simple way is that zombies just simply rips his limbs apart and then starts to reach the helicopter to get new survivors. But.. Oh no. Not Bill!! And good thing Zoey is alive, now they can MAKE new Bill! ŊυĐε 06:51, March 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Bill's VA isn't dead, that was a rumour started when no new vocal content was recorded for Bill within the Crash Course DLC. Also, can anyone provide a reference towards an article for all this speculation about a orginal survivors death? Vetis 08:10, March 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * They were talking about it on GameTrailers yesterday. LazyLord777 15:45, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

'''First off, Jim French did not die. He just wasn't able to record lines for Crash Course. Secondly, it was said that the survivor that dies is random and that you get to choose who dies when it happens in the L4D1 DLC. So yes, Zoey will die. And so will Bill. And so will Francis. And so will Louis. Nobody Survives Forever. '''MatthewLepore 16:13, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

apparently the comic will explain what surviver actually dies. I think the idea of a random surviver dying in the DLC is probably to save people from arguing over who has to be the one who dies, also in the Passing it will probably show which 3 survivers are there so you will know which one actually died. Thats just my opinion, though I could be totally wrong Ayllus 16:31, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

I still hate everything about this conversation. That's really cruel to have to choose which survivor dies. I'd rather choose one of the new survivors, and even that would be rough.Nightmirage 16:46, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Same, I have grown attached to the survivers, including Rochelle (who everyone seems to hate), when I hgeard the news I was sad, when they said shocking I thought it was gonna be something awesome.

I too have grown attached to the Survivors (more specifically the Left 4 Dead 1 Survivors since I play as them much longer than 2). I even spend much of my time making machinimas and uploading them on Youtube only to realize that one of them is going to die. Still, I think it ain't too bad too I mean, one of them dying to save the others gave it some movie-like quality and a bit of drama too I mean, one of them has to be regarded a hero/heroine right? Kind of reminded me of what Francis said when he is being revived, "You think they're gonna call us heroes some day?". LoneWolfHBS5 17:22, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

when the surviver dies, im gonna play as that surviver for 3 hours stright while playing "dont forget about me" over the mic in their honour lol Ayllus 17:35, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

A much better idea in my opinion is shouting "Don't forget me!" while dying during the sacrificial event. That somehow made me wonder, is there going to be any lines that the sacrificing Survivor going to say before he/she dies? *sigh* Whether or not any humorous new lines are going to be added, it is still pretty sad to me. LoneWolfHBS5 17:41, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

I could imagine Zoey making a movie reference and Francis saying something about hating whatever is happening lol Ayllus 17:43, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

"I hate Heaven", "I hate Hell" may be possible =P. Or maybe, as he was dying, he shouted, "I hate you Bill!". And to think, how are the remaining three Survivors going to feel during The Passing? Bill may be as per normal since, as a soldier, he would've seen many of his mates dying. Louis, Francis and Zoey's may be feeling rather down on the other hand. Maybe one of the new Survivors reminded them of the Survivor who sacrificed him/herself. LoneWolfHBS5 17:49, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

The new survivers don't seem like they are as close as the old ones are to eachother, they could learn a thing or too from the original survivers, I could aimagine arguements resulting from that Ayllus 18:21, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah perhaps arguements will spark between disagreements. Still, I somehow think that, to a certain extent, the new Survivors resembled the old Survivors in different ways. Ellis's youth and humorous jokes may remind the group of Zoey or Francis. Ellis's optimism may remind Zoey of Louis. Nick's complaining attitude may remind Bill of Francis. Nick's white suit could being Louis to their mind. Coach's big and commanding appearance might remind the group of Bill or Francis. Rochelle's feminine appearance may remind the group of Zoey. Or maybe one of the new Survivors saying they hate something remind the group of Francis. I know I had sparks of traumas when I saw someone who reminded me of someone I lost. It is not a nice experience. LoneWolfHBS5 18:30, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah or Nicks suit could remind Francis of lawyers :D Either way I guess we will have to wait until The Passing is released to find out. Ayllus 18:59, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

The Witch is Uma Thurman. And she Kills Bill. With her katana-fingers. Yeah. Yonobi 21:33, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Tagline.
The Tagline is "No one survives forever." This is refrencing the fact that one of the original survivors has died. This is also what the Campaign's title refers to. I did not edit the article yet because I can't link to the GTTV episode yet. When a link is provided, include it in the article however you wish. With love, MrJoe. 05:05, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Im in a forum right now, im just waiting for someone to post a horribly recorded vid lol Ayllus 05:11, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

MrJoe, please tell me you are kidding.... But you can make that thing funny too. Ellis starts to drive away with Jimmy Gibbs Jr.s car, everyone hears a loud *bumb*, and then, nobody knows what they hit.... And at the Dark Carnival "Why there is blood on the bumber...." ŊυĐε 06:44, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Okay... That joke is not funny.... Sorry.... ŊυĐε 07:05, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

ah well you get points for trying lol Ayllus 17:37, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Francis and Nick arguement
It could be that Nick claims that Bill died because Francis' indifference to Bill. Then Francis figths back, of course, and Coach as non-violent man stops the arguement. Sorry for bad english, if it is.... ŊυĐε 07:04, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Not a bad idea and English not too bad too =P. Maybe the arguement starts with Nick teasing Francis a bit and, maybe due to him being very sad to see a teammate dying, he took it very seriously, felt deeply insulted and started scolding Nick. Even for a guy as tough as Francis, he still has a softer side. LoneWolfHBS5 18:07, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

You know what?
I really thought they were going to give us a release date last night. Basterds. But I heard somewhere it's March 27. Of course, I have absolutely no way of confirming this, because I don't remember who I heard it from. With love, MrJoe. 22:00, March 20, 2010 (UTC)
