    Well, it took long enough for them to find their pitchforks; but sure enough, it has started:

    lol

    Im sorry to say its very typical of the PC-Black community in America: they spend a lot of time, sadly, chasing any whiff of racism, even where none exists.

    I suppose it's understandable to a degree that the black population would try to stay aware and alert of possible 'racism through the back door', but in this case, I can't see any argument here at all.

    Dont get me started. I hate the way certain minorities bitch for equal rights then turn right around and say society owes them a debt. mutually exclusive.

    Im beginning to lean toward the looking-forward crowd. Theres a few servers up with weapon mods? You may have seen them. You get a special weapon drop at the start of the round, and whenever a tank comes. So you might get incendiary bullets, or you might get an escape knife that lets you get out of one pull or pounce, etc.

    Anyway, in many of L4D's scenarios, the bullets are truly a pain in the ass. However there are a few places where ive seen a tank spawn, and you suddenly realise "oh of course" - like the No Mercy Sewers. Its impossible to keep a tank lit for any span of time in there, because of all the rat-infested water. with incendiary, it would become a fair fight. Similarly in the proposed Louisiana swampland, I imagine there will be a ton of such situations where lighting a tank on fire will be a task and a half.

    So long as you happen to have tier 2's before that sewer it can be okay provided you can convince everyone to lay into the tank. Personally I found those modded servers to be a right pain for infected and just made things too easy for the survivors. Fair enough it probably helps out teams of randomers who can't work together but any half decent team can clean up.

    Well the wait is almost over. Clearly, Valve has done their homework. If the trailer is some indication, it would be at least expected of any other developer currently on the market to have made this into a full blown sequel. And seeing as how in the intervening months, they totally managed to spoil TF2 as far as Im concerned, I am kinda glad they are encapsulating the first, and not piling on a second helping that many of the original's fans may simply not want to partake in.

    Heres the latest leaked trailer

    It looks very, very nice. Im almost contemplating a Pre-Order. Thats very unusual for me.

    A little birdie tells me that the L4D maps may be playable via L4D2 if you already own the first game . . . . aka no need to change games and server admins can interchange.

    Only a rumour currently, naturally.

    As far as I am aware, if you pre-order the game you get access to the demo.

    Or you can just wait a week.
    I don't know why everyone's so excited. Steam's server will crap out in an unholy manner with so many people downloading it and trying to play it.
