| == Criticism ==
| |
| The main point of critique against [[Left 4 Dead 2]] has been Valve's choice to develop a sequel rather than further expand [[Left 4 Dead]]. The developer has, however, explained that [[Left 4 Dead 2]] will contain too much new content to be suitable for release as a DLC for the original game. Although most con-sequel groups have now been disbanded or fallen to inactivity, some fans still claim that Valve have failed to deliver the promised content for [[Left 4 Dead]] and thus continue opposing [[Left 4 Dead 2]].

| The four delays have caused major controversy among fans leading to an increase in support for the original con-sequel standpoint and a generally offensive attitude towards Valve, particularly on the [http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=611 official Left 4 Dead 2 forum]. Valve has responded by rapidly removing posts and locking threads as the forum was overrun with hateful contributions from angry fans. Despite Valve's effort, all [http://forums.steampowered.com/ official Steam forums] were unavailable from 9:58 to 10:07 PM, October 28 and several times shortly after that.
