    How about this: Ultimate Left 4 Dead (or some other cheesy name).
    -Play any of the 10 (so far released) campaigns
    -Play any of the 8 survivors, regardless of campaign
    -All Special Infected in all campaigns
    -All weapons in all campaigns
    -Director causes various things to change in L4D1 campaigns, just like in L4D2 cmapaigns.

    Requires to have both games installed and linked to your Steam account, of course. But certainly would be an awesome "reward" to those who own both games.
    Only issue would be that new dialogue would need to be recorded for all survivors (so they can speak with any of the survivors, as well as react to the differences in each game's campaigns).

    C'mon. Do it, Valve.

    I think Valve should make importing the older levels/characters into L4D2 DLC... for people that don't own the original. The rest (most?) of us will get it for free if we have L4D1.

    This would be a nice thank you for all the people irritated that the newer game was rolled out so quickly for a typical Valve title.

    Less than a week and the PC cheaters have already hacked the game so they can use the melee weapons to cheat in the old game.
    Why don't they just wait for the DLC of it instead. They always feel so entitled to free stuff.

    /tongue-in-cheek

    Was waiting for this to happen, amazed it didn't happen sooner.
    I'm still amazed at the Portal gun in HL2. Though I'm not sure which method is dirtier. This one seems like it needs a bit more effort. Which is kinda odd considering they games are on an identical branch of Source compared to HL2 n Portal being on separate branches. (even Gmod doesn't have Portal support yet)

    Maybe like a cheap (or free) DLC pack for the 360 owners. I'd take advantage. Or how bout just survivor on survivor action to see who is the last man/woman standing? My money is on Bill, that fucker knows how to survive.

    The headline should be "British Government Agency To Run Recruitment Ads on Xbox Live."

    Otherwise, it sounds like you're saying that the government agency is recruiting people FOR Xbox Live.

    @jayntampa: That's what I thought when I first read the headline.

    So Xbox gets ads and the user has to pay to see them (aka Live fee?) Good to be a PS3 user then I guess. We get game related ads, but they are free. (No console wars intended - just a new fact I did not know about before...)

    I need to get this game, since I have no 360 and this game ain't coming to PS3, I'm gonna have to get it on PC. But why no split screen for PC?

    I refuse to believe it's the "norm" not to have splitscreen for PC, PC nowadays support multiple monitors and has more USB ports for extra controllers than any consoles.

    @Rotondo: Yes, that's how I've been playing it withmy brother, and with dual monitors too. It's possible because there's a split screen script that was left there in the PC version, but Left 4 Dead 2, doesn't have this script. At least that's what cooptimus reported, let's see if anyone find it in the near future.

    @rich8606: You'd think with the power of a good gaming PC with multi GPU, that you can't use two separate monitors to have two people play co-op with their own screen.

    If I remember right when the PS3 was first announced that it was going to have 2 HDMI connections so any game with multiplayer, each person can have their own full screen. Then Sony realized that the Cell wasn't all that powerful to render graphics and wasn't cost effective to do so. *Sigh*

    All right, I'm getting the game via steam later.
