be impressed once you find out they got a sequel out this quickly and that was worth it ;-)
personally I hope it has different game play / plot progression to it (perhaps more offence / fighting back against the zombies than just 'escape'). Just LFD with chainsaws would be a bit of a let down.
And an AK is unlikely unless it's set somewhere other than america
(inb4 "but Valve am win" - I know this and assume they will have done it well)
I'm getting that tl;dr simply means "I don't like what you wrote" these days rather than what it abbreviates?
I didn't know any of that not having been a UT2k4 fan having fair solidly stuck with HL and HL2 mods since... CS beta 1. Not knowing that it'd be reasonable to assume it was a rip off as I had no visibility ion it until steam started offering it, apologies for offending your sensibilities on this.
Oh yes! I liked that too, although it is a bit of a slap... imagine it...
P1: "Ok guys, we're been a bit crap so far, let's up our game for the next level." P2: "Uh, guys, the next level looks a bit sparse..."
Cut to howling scene of empty car lot with a single limping zombie in the middle chained to a lamppost, beyond this a massive neon sign blazes the word "EXIT" in flashing lights.
Tumbleweed blows past, the zombie trips over the chain and falls on it's face, choking itself.
P1: "I think the director is trying to tell us something."
The footy games release a new game every year; hell the battlefield system almost managed it.
But yes; this is damned quick for a sequel, but given they're giving us an entirely new campaign, new characters, weapons and whatnot it seems a bit like the HL pt 2.
Mind you I've not seen any pricing yet, but valve pricing is entirely a different issue (dollars=pounds my dancing pink bunny slippered foot!)

I hear you loud and clear on the plot progression; read this review for encouraging sounding news :)
Hoping this will give EA a kick up the arse as well to revive the BF series into something more FPS/Strategy based!
