The arguments put forward this user group are:

  • A great update for Left 4 Dead was promised and today has not yet occurred.
  • Valve had to put very little faith in Left 4 Dead because it immediately to launch the first part started working on the second.
  • Left 4 Dead 2 is almost identical to Left 4 Dead, 1 and it will split the community of users.
  • The launch date is too early to have time to polish the content or make significant changes in the gameplay.
  • The new design of the characters seems lacking charisma and, in fact, nobody likes.
  • Left 4 Dead 2 is not too bright and marries the aesthetics of the original game (there are scenes of day, a first in the series).
  • The sudden release of Left 4 Dead 2 impact on quality and a lower frequency in the updated content to the first game, even compared to today.
  • The community has lost faith in Valve’s reputation in the treatment given to their games once they are in the market.

The question is: will these complaints Valve to continue offering exclusive content for its first impact on entega or improvements that are included in full in the second part? The response when 2 Left 4 Dead comes to light in 2010 for Xbox 360 and PC.
