Apparently what happened is that with the new Director 2.0, new zombies, characters, etc. it would have been a gigantic update. Rather than trying to get everything to work with the old game, they decided that it would be a wiser choice to just go ahead and put everything into a nice new game. Am I bummed that I'm going to have to pay for a new game? Yes. However, after playing it, the new features definitely seem worth the cash. <br><br>As for the quick release, that comes partially from the new Director being able to control the actions of the game, rather than having to sit down and script every single action as like in HL.

Nothing I've seen says 'Wow L4D2 is above and beyond what I've seen in L4D.' Its going to split a wedge in their market making people choose either the first or second. Sure they can pump out this 'sequal' in less than a year, but think about how much time and effort Valve puts into their sequels (ie the HL2 episodes) and how much time has gone into this one...
