Left 4 Dead 2 Petition on Sessler’s Soapbox

First of all the boycotter's complain of not enough content being released for Left 4 Dead,

Yet Valve has released a game mode titled "Survival" along with the release of two campaigns

added to the "Versus" game mode. Later on this month, Valve will be releasing another

Campaign for Left 4 Dead titled "Crash Course" which will be a bridge between No Mercy and

Death Toll. Once Left 4 Dead 2 is released, Valve will continue to add content for the

original Left 4 Dead. I don't see why they complain about the "Lack" of content. When you

bought this game, You bought it to play the game, Not for the content that will be released

in the future, and if you did Purchase this game thinking of the Content, Then im afraid

that is your own fault. Valve dosen't need to release any Content if they do not wish to,

and that "Promise" of content they made to you is the very same thing your Boycotting. If

this much Content comes out, Then you must pay for it, Things in life aren't Free. Second,

Left 4 Dead 2 can not be released as Downloadable Content for these reasons: (1) Left 4 Dead

2 now runs with AI Director (2.0), Which is superior to the AI Director (1.0). AI Director

(2.0) will Change many things in the game, Including the games whether, The games routes

that are taken to reach a safe house, and tailor every 'zombies' clothing, In every spawn

the zombie has. That alone, To be added as Downloadable Content would take over 4 monthes,

For a system like the XBox 360, Not including the other features the AI Director (2.0) has.

Reason (2) There will be 5 New Campaigns, 4 New Survivors, A new 'Secret' Multyplayer mode,

Over 20+ New Weapons, Including Melee Weapons, and 3 New Special Infected. These new

Modes/Tools/AI would take a very long time to convert into something small enough that it

could be Downloadable Content, Maybe only 1 Campaign could come out at a time, Which is

pointless if were getting them all together, Including the weapons and the Special Infected.

Clearly you see why this cannot be "Free" as the boycotters wish it to be. They also

complain about the Release date of the game (November 17th 2009) not being enough time to

polish content or make gameplay changes? Well, Of the Gameplay I have seen of Left 4 Dead 2,

I can say that they have definetly made many changes to the environment, Which is another

thing they complain about.. Being to colurful? This game takes place in another area of the

world, The environment changes throughout the world, Which I think we 'Should' all know. Heh

at this point I think they are just adding Ridiculous reasons to the list. They complain of

the music of when the Horde attack being Disliked? Do you mean disliked by you, yourself?

(Author of Boycott's "Manifesto") because then that would be perfect to say, I in the other

hand love the music, Along with almost the 3 million members of the Left 4 Dead Commmunity.

Well if they complain about the characters being bland, I might agree alittle bit, But many

people don't care who there playing as, aslong as they enjoy fighting endless hordes of

zombies.They also say that It will Split apart online communities of both Left 4 Dead and

Left 4 Dead 2? Well If that was the case then I guess the Developers of Any game shouldn't

be allowed to make a sequel. There will still be many people on the original Left 4 Dead,

Along with many on L4D2. Most of the Boycotters will be first in line the day of release,

Which I find amusing. I think that we can all agree that 60$ Is a small price to pay for the

sequel of one of the greatest Multyplayer Games on the market.
