What your opinion?

I've got a friend coming over tomorrow and I was thinking of playing co-op on L4D with him, however I don't have the game...

Is it worth it to buy it tomorrow before he comes over or should I just wait for Left 4 Dead 2 to come out?

Save your money all together and dont buy either. I am a big valve supporter and felt like this game was defiantly not worth the money

Get the 1st one. You can get it for a lot cheaper than 60USD. I bought mines for $30 on eBay.

A lot of people play this now online and I don't think as many people will get the 2nd one.

Get Left4Dead now if you can find a used copy for cheap. Then get L4D2 when it drops!

Very very fun game if you have friends to play with.

Versus mode is awesome and so is Survival mode after you have beat the campaigns a few times. The game jsut doesnt get old imo.

I disagree. In fact this game is more worth than money than any 360 title I have, because I've played it the most If you could only buy one, save for L4D2. They are different games so I would suggest buying L4D and then buying L4D2 when it comes out if you liked it.

You don't have to worry that they're only going to support L4D for a few months because that's not the case. They've planned to release the new DLC for the first game they promised when it was announced and are supporting both communities when L4D2 comes out much like the recent COD's except this is all Valve.

Thats a tough decision, L4D is great and still will be strong online even when L4D2 comes out, but L4D2 seems to add more weapons, levelsand stuff. I dont think its worth getting both, and since Valve will forget about L4D soon. Basically my opinion is - If you are going to play online then probably wait for L4D2 and get more time with itunless you're willing to buy both, but if you arent going to play online then get L4D unless your willing to get both.

I think they both seem too similar to eachother to get both unless you really end up loving it which some people have. If you're only planning on one right now, wait for number two. It has more weapons (including melee unlike the first) and an extra campaign. If you can find a cheap copy of the first, it's worth the buy.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't L4D2 come with L4D1? I swear I read that somewhere.

They said that adding the content from L4D to L4D2 was a possibility and they were looking into it. I would wait it out because if this does happen what's the point of buying it now?

i was wondering the same but the consensus is so mixed. its not something i really need/want but the second seems to interest me more than the first. i mean, i feel like i missed the first one. if a sequel wasnt announced, i had complete plans to get the original sometime this summer. however, valve messed everything up, both for fans who feel shammed and those waiting for episode 3 and portal 2. so yeah, now im now sure if im going to get either

i think you read about them linking l4d players to players with l4d2 but they werent sure how to do it. what would be the point of combining the two? from a business standpoint, it would lose money. i just doubt something like this
