The characters being labeled as gangster/most likely gangsta, nerd, fighter and "token" female sounds like something out of a bad fan project.
Yeah, I know Left 4 Dead main characters have been criminal of some sort, "wise" elderly person with experience, "regular" guy and "the female", almost the same thing.

By this, do you mean "Dota 2, CS:GO and TF2 do not count as games."?
[QUOTE=Jetamo;49496998]By this, do you mean "Dota 2, CS:GO and TF2 do not count as games."?[/QUOTE]
I mean if you want to get technical. Those games have already been made. They are not being made right now.

It's how it comes off as, though. "These games getting updates don't count, because moba/esports/hats."
[quote]rumors claim that the game will feature a female lead named Katherine. The other three characters have been named, according to rumors, but their names were not revealed.[/quote]
The game is supposed to feature a female lead? I'm kind of confused as to how a game like Left 4 Dead has any kind of "lead character" that is one of the four protagonists. Who was the "lead" in L4D1 and L4D2?
We know already know Valve are working on l4d3, you don't have to be a genius to figure it's going to release some time within the next few years.

Bill feels pretty leaderly in L4D1, Nick or Coach for L4D2.
Next year? The fuck have they been doing last year besides releasing hats and sales?

So this is almost definitely fake, making the OP article fake as well. He debunked himself in the comments, refused to post any proof, and then said this:
[quote]Oh also about the CS:GO port to Source 2,it's 100% happening,a little bit info about it will be talked at Pax Prime 2015.[/quote]
I still believe L4D3 is happening soon though.

Not sure if this is an extremely dumb troll or a perfect Valve tester impersonation.
[QUOTE=Cows Rule;49497121]Bill feels pretty leaderly in L4D1, Nick or Coach for L4D2.[/QUOTE]
I suppose if the article said it featured a "female leader" I'd agree, but I just interpreted it as a "lead character"
PAX is coming up, we'll see if anything happens then.
After the shitshow of the ARG they gave us I'm skeptical as to whether this is optimistic.

"what i'm going to say now is 100% true and i fully expect you to believe me despite me just saying a huge lie before now
Not gonna lie, as much as I want Half-Life 3 to get worked on first, and how most likely this is a fake rumor, getting a Left 4 Dead 3 sounds really fun and exciting too.
[QUOTE=Saturn V;49496972]Maybe L4D3 is a test for Source 2 before HL3 like how CS:S was a test for Source before HL2[/QUOTE]
I seriously cannot understand why anyone points out this stupid argument, seeing that HL2 came literally two weeks after CS:S. What is there to test for 2 weeks?
[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;49496790]"Reports say"
So it is that easy to get on news websites huh? Two can play at that game.
Reports say that not only is Valve going to stop update support on their free-2-play shooter TF2, but TF3 is going to be coming out next year. We even got names for some of the new playable classes just as "Scooter, John Doe, and Napalm".
Edit:
This just in. Our anonymous sources reviled the rest of the classes names. They include Bomberman, Lumberjack, Mechanic, Nurse, Eagle Eye, and Sneaker. Replacing the announcer is her assistant Miss Pauling.[/QUOTE]
It would be kinda neat if they actually had a big plot revelation at the end of the comic story arch, changed up things in the actual game i.e. have Miss Pauling replace announcer globally etc. (nothing big), renamed the game to "Team Fortress 3" and released a polished 2007 TF2 build as a new game for the people who hate hats/over 300 new weapons/matchmaking for whatever reason.
Or maybe I'm just forgetting something super obvious and this is a horrible idea.
Cool, I guess? It's certainly not what I've wanted from Valve recently. Not too excited for it now, but I know that the fanboy in me will get all excited once screenshots and videos start being released.

It was probably more of a business move. Everyone wanted to get HL2, but if they already blew their paychecks on it and CSS came out later/at the same time, it wouldn't get as many sales. It seems like the same story with HL3, most people will pass on L4D3 if it means choosing between two 60$ games.
A company everyone loves diverts their attention to more important matters; new game markets in VR and just because they won't release a game [b] THIS VERY FUCKING MOMENT[/b] everyone declares Valve one of the worst companies?
Gamers are the fucking worst.
I'd much rather L4D3 than Half Life 3. The characters and setting have always been a lot more interesting to me and it's Co-Op.

You make a moot point because microtransactions only work if [b]someone[/b] out there likes the idea.
Evidently that is a lot of people.
It seems you people watch a fair bit too much of Jim Sterling and automatically think that microtransactions are illegal or immoral; and you can't expect anything less then perfect PR, games and other products from game developers/publishers.
You're spoiled rotten.
Every single game released by valve has been either a blockbuster hit or develops a cult-following. I guarantee you own every single Valve game; yet you're mad at them because they decided to take their talents in a new direction?
You're a piece of work my friend.
I can see how people can get mad at the fact Valve has gone into microtransactions more and more. Just look at the last 4 major TF2 updates where you had to PAY to take part in and PAY to unlock the rewards that are just more and more stock reskins. Isn't it the exact same system in CS:GO?
I wont be buying it if it is. I will use steam but I have no affinity for valve games any longer.
My favorite part of this article is how their only source is an article with no sources.
Articles bullshit but this is also a "no shit, of course they're doing it" scenario.
[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;49497125]Next year? The fuck have they been doing last year besides releasing hats and sales?[/QUOTE]
Releasing Source 2 and working on hardware.

I couldn't call any of the L4D2 cast the leaderly type.
