    Sweeeeet!

    Don't really care about trailers usually, but that was cool. Especially the helicopter chocolate comment.

    P.s. I reserve the right to lol at all of the people in the L4D2 boycott group who will inevitably cave in and buy it. It's gonna be awesome.

    Quote from Rick_D

    i wish the game played like the trailer, rather than running between areas and hiding in small rooms shooting through walls.

    That tactic among others are totally demolished.

    Valve took some great L4D players, stuck them in L4D2. Utterly helpless. Every single tactic that worked in L4D1 has been smashed.

    As for the actual content:

    This is why I'm proud of Source.

    On other forums and previously I've seen a bunch of comments "Probably done by some specialized company" and "Pre-rendered"*, etc. This is true source right here. It can look just as amazing compared to other engines, but Valve chooses not to. I imagine in the future when 16x cores and 32gb of ram is the standard (Not to long I imagine ), Source will look like this in real time.

    Anyways: Valve's done a great job with it. They've introduced the characters, given them character, introduced weapons, shown off some events, taught players a little bit of tactics (Thrown gas cans, shooting SI, Nade launching the tank, etc) and wrapped it all up in one great cinematic box.

    Pre-rendered as in made in an external application. Eg. 3ds Max and After Effects.

    I would be more inclined to say that the Source engine, even with all its updates, is quite behind the times. Unreal is a much better example of how a BSP based engine can actually do some great stuff. Also the pipeline is really nicw with Unreal, whereas Source is a mess.

    Those numbnuts closed.

    I won't buy this mod while VALVe still lying!

    - No support on L4D

    - Crash Course was lame!

    Why would you be proud of something that you haven't contributed to?

    Sympathetic pride as opposed to personal contribution pride. You've never told a friend or relative "I'm proud of you" or heard someone else say it? Source engine is in this case the friend or relative.

    I have no friends or relatives anymore, they were all killed by the virus..
