 * Did I do a good job writing about it? - §tigma-231 ♠ o  ƒ  my caliber { τalk }{¢ont } 21:23, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * To Stigma-231: Yes, you did a good job creating the article and writing the first version of the text. However, it appears that users to "contributed" to the article did a really good job of wrecking the style and readability of everything. Hello, average internet user! 114.180.113.48 04:50, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah. Hell, It looks like it's been up for a while! Oh yeah, and.... WHAT?!?! MELEE WEAPONS?!?! NOOOOO!!!!!! -- Five Dog ( Talk ){ Updates } 21:24, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yay. And I thought that was funny, because there was a conversation about melee weapons a while ago on some talk page.  Oh, man, if Valve were reading these pages, my face would be so red. - §tigma-231  ♠ o  ƒ  my caliber { τalk }{¢ont } 21:26, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Did the argument end in favour of them then? Do you want melee weapons? From the axe video it looks like it replaces your main weapon! Imagine the scenario:
 * Axe Wielder: HEY GUYS! I HAZ AN AXE! *Tank shows up* DON'T WORRY! I GOT HIM! *Slashes axe* *Tank turns and swipes* OH CRA--- *Player dies*
 * It would upset the balance of gameplay, I hope Valve know what they're doing. And honestly, zombie apocalypse, hmmm, axe or shotgun? I call shotgun! -- Five Dog ( Talk ){ Updates } 21:32, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I think it more or less ended in a joke, last I remember. It had mixed opinions, I guess.  I was talking about using a baseball bat (IN THERE) like a Scout from Team Fortress 2, and oddly enough, it more or less went like what you said.  I think Valve knows what they're doing by now, and if not, they've got time to iron things out.  I, for one, think they're an interesting addition.  I want to run around with a frying pan like any good woman would! - §tigma-231  ♠ o  ƒ  my caliber { τalk }{¢ont } 21:37, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Lol, what are you saying about women? :P As long as the other three in my team don't all hold melee weapons, it'll be alright. Oh and I LOVE the idea of the Witch wandering around during day missions. Shake things up a little. -- Five Dog ( Talk ){ Updates } 21:42, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I make borderline sexist jokes all the time, heh. I don't mean any of them, but I feel I can get away with it because I'm a woman. - §tigma-231  ♠ o  ƒ  my caliber { τalk }{¢ont } 21:44, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * You mock your own gender? Heheh. Almost like Zoey's thinly-veined racism on the Dead Air finale. "Louis, your row isn't boarding yet." That made me laugh. And you realise that within a week this page will probably be filled with discussions. What do you think you'll like and dislike about it? For me, respectively, is the daytime Witch and the melee weapons. -- Five Dog ( Talk ){ Updates } 21:50, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Dude! Awesome! Wow, Valve sure is on the ball. They just couldn't miss making more money off of this thing. I wonder if EA is going to distribute it again. Also, MELEE WEAPONS? SWEET! Not to happy about the new Survivors, but it should be interesting. TheCreaturenator16 04:26, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Wow, I hope the "new gamemode" doesn't cost anything--Colton Lindsay 22:28, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Only the price of the game. Which I/you just lost.  Sad face. - §tigma-231  ♠ o  ƒ  my caliber { τalk }{¢ont } 22:35, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

New Survivors
Now that new survivors are replacing the old ones, it's inevitable that we'll compare them and find their equivalents:
 * Rochelle - Umm, pretty sure the closest is Zoey. Hard to tell though. :P
 * Ellis - Look at how he hold the gun, that cheesy look on his face. That, my friends, is a younger, non-biking Francis! I just hope he doesn't hate everything....
 * Nick - Well, well! Looks like a young and flashy Bill before Vietnam! Let's just hope young Bill is still as kick-ass as old Bill.
 * Coach - Louis has let the infection get to him. Now he's bigger, he's tougher, and he's larger. If he has a really deep "Grabbin' Pills" line, he'll be my instant favourite.

Those are the best comparisons I could think of. -- Five Dog ( Talk ){ Updates } 22:18, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I like the new characters, myself. Valve is like, "Screw you, half of the Survivors are black!"  I know you know a lot of people hated Louis just because he was black.  I didn't mind him, myself, but there was something in the way he screamed and screamed that got on my nerves.  But I think Rochelle looks nice, Nick reminds me of Michael Westen, Coach is like a blacker, less-wussy Louis, and Ellis is an engineer of some sort, and he reminds me of the Scout.  I'm really excited to learn more about them. - §tigma-231  ♠ o  ƒ  my caliber { τalk }{¢ont } 22:28, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Hold on, it was the screaming and the yelling that made Louis who he is! He's got that wussy side to him, then he's got a gamer side; "Oh man, this is just like Counter-Strike!" Then he's got a gangster side; "Thanks, dog." "Yo, check this out!" Then he's got an intelligent side; "These must be Riverside's water in-take pipes." Francis: "How the hell do you know that?" Louis: "Interesting story, in 1975 when Riverside was-" Francis: "Actually, I just realised I don't care. Lead on."
 * And unfortunately, no matter how epic and awesome these survivors turn out to be, I'll still miss the original foursome. It would be cool if you could also play as the old survivors in the sequel, you know, maybe as a DLC campaign or something? -- Five Dog ( Talk ){ Updates } 03:27, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey I rather take Southern Baptist blacks then ghetto blacks any day.but I'm sad that there is no war veteran this time. I love playing as Bill.--Jack Black 13:47, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Did you watch the trailer on the article? Coach is one bad motha! Oh, and is it me or is Valve seeming to give the "rebellious" one the strange names? Francis and Ellis? -- Five Dog ( Talk ){ Updates } 21:53, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

I would have to say that Rochelle is Louis' comparison (yes she's a woman, but they just seem alike to me), Coach is Bill, Nick, being a possible con-man is Francis' equivalent in swavyness, and Ellis is Zoey, because they both seem to be the skipping bundle of joy types. But I will miss Zoey...and I STILL don't know who to play as in L4D2!

Everything is right but coach is for bill and nick is louis. WAIT NO FRANCIS!?!?!? Ill miss the I hate statement. I'll miss Louis's screams. Ill miss zoey because shes zoey and i like that. And ill miss OlD BILL --Kirby888 18:25, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

There are Boycotters for L4D2?
When I heard this I laughed so hard. This is Pathetic. Listen if your a boycotter GET OVER IT! If a trailer comes out for a game the came is going to be made no stopping it. There are rumors about Valve still going to make downloads for L4D. Didnt make the rumor heard it on Gamefaqs. Just because theres going to be L4D2 doesnt mean L4D is useless. I will still play the first one because ill miss all the olds. ANyways get over it! --71.70.80.147 20:42, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Valve continuing to work on L4D isn't a rumor, it's a fact. They even said that themselves.

Possible Other Special Infected
Has anyone considered the possibility that, since almost everything that was cut in the first game is coming in L4D2, one of the "Mystery Infected" could be the Screamer? TheCreaturenator16 23:14, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Infinite Ammo Pistols?
The Trivia section says that the infinite ammo may be replaced by the melee weapons, but during the beta footage, the reminder pops up that pistols have unlimited ammo. Thoughts? TheCreaturenator16 20:27, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

thats my most likley my fault i remember putting something there about that because only the trailer was out and it showed the pistols running out of ammo Totemtrouser 20:32, 18 July 2009 (UTC)totemtrouserTotemtrouser 20:32, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
