Right now, Valve is undecided how it will work, though it seems like there’s a likelihood the new Left 4 Dead DLC ‘Crash Course’ will work in Left 4 Dead 2. From an interview on Edge, Valve’s stated that they’re “struggling with how interoperability is going to work” in the game. This relates to each map having dialog specific to individual characters, and for Valve, that means recording all new dialog with the new Left 4 Dead 2 cast. While Valve’s quick to state they’re not against doing that, it raises a question about whether or not they’ll go the other way and record Left 4 Dead 2 cast in Left 4 Dead situations (if L4D2 players want to play L4D campaigns with the new characters).
It seems Left 4 Dead has been, err… left for dead after the release of Left 4 Dead 2. Left 4 Dead 2 fans will be able to enjoy all the campaigns of Left 4 Dead and then some, but the old group will be alone in the cold.
