If this is no excuse for the demo having lackluster character devving then the game's gonna suck.

The game won't 'suck'. It's experience will simply be diluted somewhat by the overly-cherry temperaments sugar coating it. I mean, lack of sleep and exhaustion generally result in worse moods, no?

I don't want to make a big deal out of this, Mimaz, but this has happened before. I have noticed it in many posts preceding this one, and I've let it slide. But when it comes to literally copy and pasting, Mimaz, that I draw the line at. Please do not let this happen again.
Oh my. Oh dearie dearie me. This brings back memories.

On-topic, however, I'm still trying to figure out where the inspiration for this 'rumour' came from. This is the internet, Blue! You can provide links to anything!

Link was provided by Smash. And I only said the crossing was put on hold to help Valve with "something"...and the link backs up this. What that "something" is, I dont know. I was asking in the OP if that something could be Ep3?

Or crazyness. Usually when I'm with people late at night we lose our minds a little. Things that weren't funny before become hilarious.

Certain difference in circumstances though.

Well yeah. We don't run around with shotguns and adrenaline pumping but we're still drained. The L4D2 survivors have been running on adrenaline for the whole game. No real energy left unless they get some kind of rest in the safe houses which I doubt.

It's interesting he should do that after showing recently to be quite opposed to several of your viewpoints.

What do you mean? They could rest as long as their hunger let them.

I can't shake 'em!!

I don't think Arkane is working on EP3. They're working on Bioshock 2 ATM.

They WERE working on Bioshock II. Now they are finished over there...which makes me think they are busy at Valve

If so, I hope that doesn't mean there won't be any bug support when Bio-Shock2 launches, because they are all too busy over at Valve.I'm looking forward to Bio-Shock2 also especally since it appears we will get it long before Ep3 is hatched.

If VALVE focused on what they are good at, which is a great SP FPS game in Half Life, instead of producing a mindless zombie shooter that is MP and will be quickly forgotten, we would of had Ep3 by now.

Dude, they aren't slaves, they can experiment as much as they want.

L4D has a huge fan-base, like HL.

What's your source? They could be still balancing the MP.
