What would you like to see added on in an add on for L4D? Weapons, characters, maps, zombies?

I personally would like to see a bigger variety of guns and definitely more maps, maybe a mall map or a department store.

Possibly another pistol, with limited ammo.
Other then that, I dunno. Just patches to fix glitches (not turret glitch).

Melee weapons.
Certain special weapons for each map.

I would like to see all the textures that dont load fixed. I would like for the spawn times in versus to decrease or make them less boring. I hate just seeing the words You are dead and seeing thru the tiny gameplay screen.

And also a new map

Mod options - not PC-style mods, just things like spawn rate, zombie health etc (i know difficultys set these sort of parameters but it doesnt allow for customiseation.. and the director has always been more than useless in my experience so far).

Maps maps maps maps! The game needs more maps.

I'd quite like a shopping mall level and more set pieces like that nut ringing the bell. A flame-thrower would be nice as well.

More multiplayer only maps would be great, with objectives and the like.
Melee weapons, in place of the pistols would be great.

What would be the point, by the time a zombie is on you a melee weapon is going to be useless next to guns.

Done to death, use the search button and for addons check L4Dmods.com and fpsbanana.

Really, I just want more servers and more maps. It would be nice to be able to have a custom avatar for the game but I'm kind of a customizing fascist.

Oooh... and a CHAINSAW!

More maps.. and ALL the maps balanced for VS play..

but first and foremost I want then to fix all the glitches and bugs. (there aren't many, but still those that are there should be fixed.) I would rather have a complete game, then an incomplete game with incomplete expansions.

New Maps, I know they said there doing new scenarios, bosses and weapons but what they are of course is up for rampant speculation...

So without further ado rampant speculation!

A Snow Level - Like the town from 30 days of night or maybe a Ski lodge in the mountains
A Theme Park - Circus, roller coasters, hall of mirrors, creepy carnival music
A Shopping Centre - Like Day of The Dead and Dead Rising nuff said
An Army Base- Start off in the one place the survivors thought they would be safe

I think adding more weapons would disrupt the balance of play. More maps is the obvious answer.

I swear this type of thread pops up every week.

Anyway, probably maps.

A map on a military base. Think of all the weapons and soldiers in body armour. There could even be turrets and...*gasp*...a tank!

Yeah I would love that map to death. Hall of mirrors would be freaky as hell and the carnival music add a nice atmosphere. Besides that maybe one more campaign. As far as weapons I think the selection keeps things nice and balanced. What I would really like to see is more special zombies. Like twice as many. And reduced spawn times on Versus.

This, throwing a magnum would be a good addition, being insanely powerful but having very limited ammunition. Would be a very tactical choice as to what you use it on.

Pretty much all of these, though we should turn the Theme Park into a Boardwalk-style Carnival town. Also, it would be nice to add on a Hawaiian/Tropical feel by sticking the survivors in a resort of some kind. Zombies in Hawaiian shirts=win. I also propose that we move the survivors even further into the big city, making them fight the zombies in the streets and running for a police checkpoint. Like No Mercy, but more urban and city-esque instead of the hospital.

And finally, throw in a couple of Half-Life cameos. I'd still love to see "Wake up and smell the ashes" written on the wall of a safehouse.

Shorter spawn times. I do not need to wait half a minute only to spawn as a boomer, a character whose only purpose is to die again.

A broad axe/Zweihander/chainsaw. And a flamethrower. Ooooh yes. Or a rocket launcher of some sort.

Yes, L4D is great, but it becomes a little stale after doing the same exact thing over and over. I liked each map for about 3 playthroughs, but after knowing everything about them it wasn't fun anymore.

The only things I really want right this week is a fix to closet camping.
It really shits me in versus when they do it, and it's possible in too many places, especially in the final stage 5 endings.

The respawn times are fine, if they were any shorter it would fuck the balance of Versus up, the Survivors would never get any rest. Just learn some patience, anyway i find the time useful to plan my next attack.

Vehicle sections. Every game needs vehicle sections. Every shooter at least anyway...

I'm joking. I really want an update that allows Versus play on the original maps and a few more. More importantly I want these maps to be free on Live. Yes, I know they will be free on the PC but it's a multiplayer game and I know far more people with a 360 than a gaming PC. Which is why I got it for the 360 because I believe that I will get my money's worth online with my friends rather than on the PC with free mods.

itd be cool for the game to have some story. just a little at all. or to have different charachters. once someone is dead...they are dead, next room will have a different charachter skin. that couldn't be that hard to do i men, they dont even develop the only 4 charachters!!

Its not gunna happen, Valve said recently that it can only be free on PC. Microsoft is forcing them to put a price on the DLC thats coming out soon, hopefully it should be cheap tho.

Also you don't need a gaming PC to run it, i've got friends playing it on old systems and laptops so its likely just as many people are on PC.

I would like to see a magnum-type pistol and a department store level a la Dawn of the Dead. Also, if I could smash a box, pick up a board, and whack/stab zombies with it I would be happy; endless melee fun could occur.

I recently thought it would be a cool idea to put two single-passenger escape vessels at the end of a level instead of one big one, forcing the group into frantically trying to kill both the zombies and each other in order to get a spot.

I knew about that before I bought it - TF2 has reliable updates all the time on PC and they haven't even put the Medic ones up on Live yet. Even at that, Microsoft are still making them charge it. So there's a sad face for that, sure, but I'm holding out hope that they will be able to make it free after a while - like with the Gears 1 maps.

Of the people I know, 2 use their PC for gaming and the rest either have a 360 or don't care. There's more money's worth on the 360 for me because it's a completely multiplayer experience. Besides I don't mind too much about the lack of support, like I said it's about who you play it with.
