Just played a disastrous farce of a campaign with Spore, Negate, and Reeve. We had to contend with Expert zombies, a terribad server, AND Spore. We did not win.

Too much super mega pro for you?

Durp, Spore is great, makes me wish Valve told me how to fix L4D2.

Regarding the rumors about the passing are true, as soon as I finally am able to play anything, I got a special tribute spray.

Well they announced The Passing's tagline, "no one lives forever..." and told us that the name of the passing was intended to be a double-entandra and that one of the original 4 survivors will had sacrificed themselves for the benefit of the other 3.

They also announced that a matching DLC will be released for L4D1 where one of the survivors in your party will have to sacrifice themselves for the other 3 to pass the finale.

Alot of speculation is being thrown around to who will be killed.Francis, Louis, even Whitaker, because of similiarities between his model and the fallen survivors, but the majority is thinking it will be Bill, so I plan, in the event of Bill's sacrifice, to use this picture as a spray to commemorate my favorite survivor.

Also, didn't Bill's voice actor die or go to prison or something which is why he didn't have any new dialog in Crash Course?

... just thinkin 'bout the old guys make me realize how much I miss them. :'( L4D Gang 4 Eva

Actually, a bunch of idiots at a online newspaper made a joke about a guy who went to jail who looked like Bill, and it was so unfunny, everybody thought it was a actual story.

Jim French is actually working on some kind of old-time mystery-suspense radio program(The shadow knows, The adventures of Sherlock homes, etc) on satellite radio.

For Crash Course, I think he was on vacation, not entirely sure.

My thinking is that there won't be one set person who dies, especially if you'll be able to play this from the L4D1 survivors' perspective. If we're going to be playing this in L4D1 I don't think they'll force a specific character to sacrifice him/herself every time, so it may just randomly pick one to be dead when you meet the L4D1 survivors in The Passing.

I don't think the character dying happens in the L4D1 DLC.

From here:

While the original survivor's death will be readily apparent in the Left 4 Dead 2 DLC, the Left 4 Dead 1 downloadable content will have players working through the events leading up to the death, which will require someone on your four-player team make the ultimate sacrifice.

Since this is a little ambiguous as to whether or not you play it I watched the part of the Gametrailers TV episode from which they got this info, and they said directly that you do.

What if only one player is left at the point where a player sacrifices themselves? Whatever, probably not worth thinking about. I'll just see what they do.

[Surf314]

One person probably has to hit an event trigger that is unsurvivable to win. So you need to finish with at least 2.

[beep beep diglett]

im guessing the sacrifice will happen at the end, so 1 person doesnt have to sit out the entire game

If there's only one person left it's unlikely they'd survive long anyway.

You still have to account for the chance of them surviving. Saying that is bad developing.

Like I said there is probably an event trigger that is unsurvivable.

"someone has to hit the switch in the booth or we are all dead"
"but then how will that person get out, they will be trapped!"
"Maybe there is another way?"
"It's OK I'll do it, I've lived a long fulfilling life"
"No Bill!"
"Shut up and get on the platform"

Then you shoot zombies off bill while he survives long enough to hit a series of switches. Campaign ends with bill getting nailed by 3 tanks.
