[darth los]

Really wierd stuff here guys. I'm not even sure what this article means but it seems to be significant. O.K. Basically someone found errors in the demo code that point to future dlc? I'm not a computer guy so this is alien to me. Can anyone shed some light on this? Here's the link to the code floolwed by the link to the original article i got it from: Code: http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?p=1336060924 // DLC strings: // "SessionError_DLC_RequiredTitle_1" "Miracle Pack" // "SessionError_DLC_RequiredKicked_1" "You were kicked from the lobby because downloadable content was selected.\n" // "SessionError_DLC_RequiredJoin_1" "Game requires downloadable content provided with Miracle Pack.\n" // "SessionError_DLC_RequiredMessage_1" "Please, download Miracle Pack content from Xbox LIVE Marketplace." // "SessionError_DLC_RequiredOffer_1" "Would you like to download Survival Pack 1 content from Xbox LIVE Marketplace now?" // // "SessionError_DLC_RequiredTitle_2" "Apocalyptic Pack" // "SessionError_DLC_RequiredKicked_2" "You were kicked from the lobby because downloadable content was selected.\n" // "SessionError_DLC_RequiredJoin_2" "Game requires downloadable content provided with Apocalyptic Pack.\n" // "SessionError_DLC_RequiredMessage_2" "Please, download Apocalyptic Pack content from Xbox LIVE Marketplace." // "SessionError_DLC_RequiredOffer_2" "Would you like to download Apocalyptic Pack content from Xbox LIVE Marketplace now?" // End of DLC strings Article: http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/70...uture-DLC.html

I'm not sure I can fake the interest. I mean, I'm interested in DLC for the new game, but I'm not surprised at the prospect that there would be DL, nor that some sort of code left in from development would still be there. Does that make sense?

been kinda outta the loop on left4dead 2....running zombies are pretty stupid imo, and super-powered zombies are even more retarded, but that's just my 2 cents. my question is, however: will this game launch with more than 4 short campaigns, or are they gonna put out a half-assed game with only a few scenarios and try to nickel and dime the players for extra episodes?

Amen to that. Valve actually brought in 2 of the guys who started the boycott in September to play the game and upon doing so they changed their mind about the boycott. My friend and I played the demo Saturday and he said that even though he isn't going to get it day 1 it was a lot better than he expected... he was one of those "I'm not going to pay $60 for add on content" people too.

That's why it's always prudent to know all the facts before you make a comment about something. I never understood that Greek salad line. And that my good man is why it's classic !!
