Left 4 Dead 2 Pre-Order

Yes I do agree with you, but I think Valve are doing this because L4D 1 wasn't as good as they wanted it to be. Which means they will be improving the basic formula in ways such as multiple paths through campaigns, melee weapons, better AI, which I think it would have been hard for them to do using only addon packs for the vanilla L4D.

Also, I know valve are generous, but do you really expect them to release a whole new set of 4 (?) campaigns for free? If this is just a basic expansion pack, they are still entitled to ask you to pay for it like any other expansion pack

With valve we expect upated content.

Id much rather have standard new "levels" on L4D and not pay extra for them than have a completely re designed and recreated game thats (realistically going to be) practically identical apart from small things and have to pay for it.

By this i mean I dont ever expact to have to buy TF2 - Upgrade pack 1, as its jsut simple addition, but I do expect to have to buy HL2 EP3, as its a completely new build.
