I haven't heard mention of that yet. I don't think Valve is ready to release anything. As far as I know, it's just a fan rumor.
I think a lot of people are tired of the franchise and don't want another game, but personally, as L4D2 was more successful and overall more rounded than L4D, I wouldn't be surprised if a third installment is being developed. Personally, I think seeing a campaign (or at least part of a campaign) on a cruise ship complete with fat zombie tourists (new Boomer models, anyone?), zombie captains and helmsmen, and maybe even a new type of aquatic infected would be a blast!
I dont know if Valve is working on it or not, but I read the creator speculating something about left 4 dead 3.
Here's hoping! Like I said, I'd personally love to see another addition. I liked the overall "attitude" in L4D2 better. It wasn't just about surviving all the time (although that was, of course, an element). It was also about kicking ass and taking names.
I think there will be a LFD3, but it won't be coming out for a WHILE. Valve's only exception to their "release forever" trend was L4D to L4D2. I think they're too focused on HL:E3 either way.
If they come out with a third one it better be amazing because honestly i think that they should just add on to the second one. The second one has amazing storyline and makes it so you don't want your other guys to die because you attached to the other characters. The first one you didn't really get to know the characters as well. Like Francis was like a biker, Louis was Obama's clone, Bill was the war vet, and Zoey was the college babe. idk, but the second one seems like the characters are less stereotypical so i feel like i like the more. There's the short essay of my thoughts, lol.
@ TheSparrowsAreFlying; that's what I meant when I said that the first game was more about surviving. The atmosphere was gloomy and depressing, the characters were distant and constantly terrified...there was a lot more story, thrill and WILL TO LIIVVVVEEE in the 2nd.
i really dont think we need a l4d 3 after 2 and 1 i guess it will get bored trying just to get all the achivements if anyone knows where can i find l4d 2 for download in pc sendme a comment plz to my account
I agree with the other people saying that L4D2 should see more DLC rather than cashing in by releasing another game.
In my opinion, L4D2 was released way to soon after the first game. They could have put a lot more work into L4D by adding new maps, campaigns, etc. Fair enough they released survival mode and Crash Course (which was rubbish). I felt I didn't really get my money's worth.
I hope they don't do the same thing and cash in by releasing a L4D3 as that is the reason I, personally, boycotted L4D2 and got Killing Floor instead.
Hmmmm... In L4D 2, some special infecteds were not released Like the haggard, a special infected who seems to impale his enemies with spikes while ¿hugging? them.
