lol

I'm guessing it will be 1200 MS points. I just hope they fix the servers. I play with a lot of people from Europe and the West Coast. I don't want them dealing with all the lag.

The guns are ok. They reload weird... at least they did to me and a friend who have come across them a handful of times. They delay when reloading sometimes. They are neat though, and fun to use.

And EU servers will be fixed with the update, so maybe East coast servers also?

That would be a cool surprise. They were fun to mess around with the few times I ran into them, and it wouldn't be all that hard to add them. Plus the extra weapons would just add a little bit more freshness to gameplay IMO.

I would like the German weapons too. I've used modded savefiles a few times to spawn them, and they are pretty fun to play with. Most people say they are useless, but I think they could add some variety to the weapon rotation.

However, Valve said in a Twitter post about a year ago that they couldn't add any weapons to the game without taking some current ones out. They said this in response to a post asking about the German weapons. Now I think this might have something to do with Xbox RAM limitations. Apparently every weapon in the game has to be accounted for in the ram. I didn't think L4D2 was at the limit (other games have more gunplay), but I'm not on the dev team obviously.

It's weird though, because the German weapons can spawn alongside normal weapons on a German copy... so they must already be accounted for. Which would mean they should be able to be easily added in. I don't know, maybe there's some other reason. They might just want to keep them exclusive to those with the censored game.

I thought that was odd too. If they are included in the German version alongside all of the other weapons already, then I would have assumed they were on the uncensored console disks as well (just like they are already on the PC disks) and just needed to be unlocked via command.

In any case I am really intrigued by what the other "surprises" might be that Valve mentioned in their blog post. I think it would be a bit much for them to add entirely new guns and Special Infected at this late stage (especially considering how much content we will be getting with this DLC) but one does tend to wonder what might be included that they haven't announced yet.

Almost there... almost there!

Just two more! (days)

the surprise will probably be a teaser for hl ep3 or hl3

LOL!!!

Theres no chance in hell Valve gives the L4D community first look at HL. If they're going to present HL3 for the first time, it'll be in a grand way.

1 MORE DAY!!!

[Retrokiid90]

Just a day left. The wait is killing me. I wonder if they're gonna fix the voices in the game. As playing with the L4D1 survivors and you jump off a high building, they have the L4D2 survivors scream ._.

[Jetblackmoon]

Pretty sure Rayman said we're going to get new lines for both the L4D1 and L4D2 Survivors.

valve tweeted the other day that east servers will be fixed.
