I'm not 100% sure when it's coming out, or even if they're making it, but I've heard rumors about it. If an anyone knows anything about Left4Dead 3, ... put it here.
Left for Dead 1 and 2 were identical, the whole 2nd game was unecessary and could of passed for a $15 DLC
They made a few changes and added some things, but over all it was almost identical.
If they do make a third, there are some things I'd like to see: -dog zombies (uncommon infected) -being able to aim down the sights of your weapon -a special infected to rival the tank (in terms of power) -A flying uncommon infected? -and possibly the survivors turning into zombies
Hopefully this will start some more discussion. Probably should have been a bit more specific in the OP, though :P
They should have made the game take place at the start of the epidemic and take the point of view of a soldier guiding the survivors out of the "Red Zone".

Maybe they could make a prequel. Only thing is, the game has groups of four so they'd need more than one survivor. Although... they could go for a new campaign experience and have the one guy alone for a while and then he finds some other survivors.
I like this idea seems like it would make the game harder, I don't like how you can just come back to life and they just have to find you
Or there could be a cure that you'd have to find and if you didn't find it in time, they'd die and maybe later in the map run at you when you least expect it.
About the new special infected, they were talking about something called a breeder that makes zombies, a haggard that looks like a new type of tank idea, and a shrieker which would call the hoard in.
No. The Left 4 Dead 1 survivors are actually already infected. They're carriers. They don't show any symptoms of the 'Green Flu' but can transmit it to others unknowingly. It hasn't been verified if the L4D2 survivors are Carriers or are simply immune.
Note: The Carrier gene is transmitted by the father. This could explain why there are more male than female survivors in the games.
B-B-B-but Valve can't count to three D:
:O That's true! Portal, Team Fortress, Half Life, L4D...
and a shrieker which would call the hoard in.
Valve already thought of that, but decided to throw the idea out. The 'Screamer' special infected was supposed to be in a straight jacket, unable to make any attacks. It would scream and run away, hiding behind the new wave of zombies. You'd have to kill it as soon as possible. Yet I think they found it too annoying or something, and decided not to put it in the game. About dogs, there is a sound file that can be found with 'zombiedog' in it, so Valve seems to have thought of that at least a little bit.
Considering that the 'Green Flu' (It's not a flu, but that's what CEDA calls it.) is mutating, I'm sure we'll get some new special infected in L4D3 when and if it comes out.
