The possibilities with Left 4 Dead are limitless. After all, during a zombie apocalypse anything is possible. Imagine in the next L4D game you start off as the Midnight Riders and your objective is to not only survive, but to make it to the next concert.
If you don’t know about the Midnight Riders easter egg in The Passing then I suggest you search youtube for the video and you will see a Midnight Riders van drive by during Part II of The Passing. It is unknown who is inside the van. It could be all four members of the band, only a couple, or some other random people such as fans or roadies. The point being, somebody made it out of Dark Carnival other than the main characters. Having this little easter egg in place gives Valve a nice story to tie into L4D3. The first Left 4 Dead 3 campaign could begin with that same Midnight Rider van which got away, running out of gas at some point. Another possibility could be one of the campaigns is at the Dark Carnival concert and they too must escape.
Anything is possible with the next Left 4 Dead 3. Nobody really knows, we may see a completely new setting with entirely brand new characters as we did with L4D2. If Valve does decide to tie together part of Left 4 Dead 3 with Left 4 Dead 2, as we saw with the L4D 2 characters meeting the original survivors, then using the Midnight Riders characters is the obvious bet. Or, Valve could throw us for a loop and L4D3 may be completely different from what we expect.
If Valve wants to keep to their word and continue to release DLC for the current Left 4 Dead games, then a new set of campaigns featuring the Midnight Riders would be nice.
The sound track to a new DLC pack or L4D3 could be the best yet.
Check out the Midnight Rider’s tour dates on their website. They may be infecting a city near you.
For a specific game mode, it would be a great touch, but just once. I don’t want to be stuck with chunky, bearded bikers as my only avatars, though, and they’re not interesting enough to be an overly recurring theme. They don’t look like they could outrun a turtle without having a heart attack and needing to eat half of McDonald’s inventory, never mind outrun a world of monsters on a daily basis. Chances are they’re Boomers now and the people in the van was another player-character foursome yet to be revealed, if anything 😛
I’d like to see more choice of survivors in general, maybe 4 chosen volunteers from a convoy (or base depending on scenario) for each campaign. Maybe rescuing random survivors in campaigns could unlock them….? The Midnight Riders should remain as an Easter Egg type thing, though, or on some kind of alternative game mode (we need more of those too)…
I agree they shouldnt add the Midnight Riders.I think they should add Zoey,Francis,Luis,Ellis,Rocelle,Coach,Nick,and a new charactor Keith.Since Bill died in the Sacrifice they should add KEITH the one that Ellis is always talking about.But the Midnight Riders would sorta be a good story but every body has their own opinion.
Keith not KEITH
Didn’t Keith have third-degree burns on over 90% of his body twice over according to Ellis? I don’t think he’d be up to fighting Zombies…
i defintely agree with that i think if u unlocked more people through the levels it would be much cooloer heck id buy it 🙂
Hmmm. With the midnight riders I have an idea!! U kno there are two fat musicians right?? That won’t fly with Valve so…say one of them died at the concert in Dark Carnival. Perhaps the Midnight Riders’ manager is a chick so she replaces tht dude(Ox) bcause there has to be exactly ONE female l4d character. Then something happens to the second one(Dusty) and then when the Midnight Riders(what’s left of them) run out of gas in their tour bus(If you’ve seen them in The Passing) they stop at a nearby town and find Keith!! Barricaded in his house or rather.
I think that sounds awesome 🙂
Thats solid bro 😛
epi 😛
I think its ok and kinda cool but i think it would be cool if you had some army men in there and all of a suden one of them gets lost and if you make a 4th one you could have the lost one come back ina group of like small kids lol i think that would be amazing. Cuz if you had lioke 10 to 15 year old kids running around with gun kicken the shit out of zombies i would totaly play that and then an army guy comes in! THAT WOULD BE AMAZING! Try it i’m sher that you would have that thing baut out in stors everyware! ^.^
They should make the game where you can play 4 players offline…it would make it so much better…And they should make a new variety of weapons, the other ones are getting old espcially the shotgun…they should change it up!!
thay gut to have the screemer in it that wood be awsome put him in
HELL YAH just like a ragging fan who loves the songs and gets more of his friends to lissen or eat them u know whtever lol
Awesome idea, Midnight Riders, there should be an option to use a Guitar Hero controller at the end to play your way through the ending 😉
midnight riders?? its ok but what about the gamer girls ???
One of them…maybe!
having a midnight rider theme would be awsome and it kinda makes sine cause in the 2nd part of the passing theres an easter egg when u leave the bar or pool room n get out to the construction site u go all the ay down to the fence and see the midnight riders van drive past so i guess they’re rocking out in the zombie apocolypse and moving from town too town getting gas for their van or supplies or something who knows. the midnight riders would be perfect for L4D3!!
i totally agree with the idea of the midnight riders i am a bif L4D fan and love the games after hearing your idea of the midnight riders bieng playable characters i thought about the box art for the game and hence rememb ered that the sign for rock is 3 fingers. your index finger, little finger, and thumb stay up as your other two stay down. i think this is a brilliant idea as the three fingers saty up for the advertisement of L4D3 and also the symbol of rock for the midnight riders :DD
the midnight riders would be cool as an extra, nt through the whole game.my opinion is they should keep the same theme, 4 random people who dont know eachother have to team up to fight zombie apocalysp,but do it somewhere else besides the U.S like europe, or mosscow, or tokyo would be descent.
y not all those places, they could make it a world wide infection or something cool like that and maybe there could be more then just 4 or 5 levels
I think it’s a good idea for the midnight riders to be the next protagonists.
think that the midnight riders would be awesome for the next protagonists because they kind of have a cool back story they know each other and they have the look that they don’t care if they get dirty
in concert if u read the righting it says u will be missed riders so there dead soz
they died
I’ve been hearing about this idea (just over different blogs and things) that suggests you (as the player) can customize what your character looks like. Face, clothes and voice (select from a range). This would stop the tradition of three guys and one chick being pre-made, but I think having the ability to customize your character to your own personal liking would be really cool. Especially if you could combine that with a new “8 player survival” or something like that, all the character would be slightly different, everyones steam character would be unique. Another idea would be to have each player have their own advantages and disadvantages. For example (let’s take Left 4 Dead 1) Zoey might be the slowest of the group, but she can heal twice as fast as everyone else. Francis could take more hits than everyone, but be the lease accurate (etc….) There are many possibilities for L4D3, I suppose we would just have to wait and see what Valve comes up with! >:D
They could always keep the original charachters and have a create your own option they deff need to add more levels… its to short of a game
remember some writing in the left 4 dead series about the angels of death they could be the next protagonist I mean there are 8 and they could get separated and them there are two campaign of each side and in the finale they meet up again
it would be better if it was just an eight player game because it would then be an 8v8 on versus mode (if they include one) and instead of having friends wait to play with u, u can actually have all or some play with you
What about AC/DC?
good Idea but I think they should move on and like many people said you can unlock more people (including keith) and maybe they could do a easter egg of the midnight riders in a playable level of what happened at the concert and also include them as unlockable characters.
what they’ve got here is a good thing going,but I think I would enjoy it less if it was just about them
it would be a great game if they some how put in zombie animals because imagine if you were fighting off a bunch of zombie tigers, and if there were animal tanks they could have alternatives live gorillas or maybe bears. it would make the game better if zombie birds were in it because they are quick and can use they’re beaks to peck or rip out organs then again that would make it kind of difficult
i have the perfect idea of where left 4 dead 3 should take place it should be in hawaii because there are eight islands so eight campagin missions. and u will have to get to the boats or canoes to be safe. and on a cutscene every island u make it off of the island should have the volcano explode and the only safe place is the new island about to be created and its going to be on the right side og the big island
i dont really like the idea of using the midnight riders or having to go to concerts, i think this new left 4 dead should take place somewhere along the coast more towards the california area, the 4 new survivers could be someone like a movie director trying to survive from an actual zombie invasion, some kind of surfer (guy or girl) trying to stay alive for more surfing or something, this is off the top my head so idk what the others could be but not looking foward to the rockers. they should also put in the screamer and some new infected there could be a kind of infected that attacks in the air or some infected animals or something new like that.
I think it should take place in a mountainous area like Colorado. But not like a band, because each character seems way too similar. I liked the characters in left 4 dead 2, because their differences made their situation much funnier. It should have: 1: A big guy. 2: The hero/smart guy 3: A cityboy/countryboy, not all too bright. 4: a chick. And introducing a couple of new infected would only brighten it further!
I think there should be new surviors that get to meet the midnight riders
i think they need the first charecters but a lil bit older with one of the midnight riders or virgil the talking boat
i think there should be the same modes coming back like campaign and survival but i think it would be unreal if there were ranks in versus and being able to customise your characters, guns and equipment and maybe even a zombie ranking kind of like cop and racer in need 4 speed: hot pursuit.
To get Left 4 Dead 3 more popular with our European brothers & sisters, perhaps Valve should greatly consider Europe. For instance, have one campaign based in Athens Greece, perhaps within the most famous Ancient Acropolis and other memorable areas in Greece. Next could be in Italy then Spain etc…
has anyone ever considered that maybe left for dead 3 may be a map pack for portal 2 or a map pack for the l4d franchise? or left for dead 3 will replace bill with a midnight rider or one of the left for dead 2 cast. left for dead 3 may be about another random cast or virgil, dave( ellis’s freind ) and 2 other random people
i think they should continue with l4d2 and this time they have to help the soldiers save survivors around the world like the first scenario is in the US then after playing through 5 parts in the US they should go to Europe or something or maybe go to Hawaii helping survivors escape the island and find a cure, but i personally think it should be more realistic like, u have to collect food, batteries fir the flashlights u can get diseases, u have to sleep and eat etc. it’ll be MUCH better and more realistic that way
good ideas- to need batteries for the flash lights would be cool- i also think that we should be able to heal (just a litte) by eating food we find like in the vending machines- i dont like ammo bunches should be unlimited. This would make it so that not all players can reload fully making us rely on our team more-
They should make it so that you have to depend on your teammates more ( i mean zombies have takin over the world)
I don’t like the idea of midnight riders 4 chunky guys fighting off zombies having to stop at every food place I think you should get ranks like if your a level 10 survivors you should get to customize your player and if your lvl 5 infected you should unlock really cool infected like screamer or breeder or worker or hunter OR WITCH if you could play as the witch that would be awesome.
All I can say is; If the Characters are these ‘Midnight Riders’ and the story is not only surviving, BUT making it to the next concert aswell?! I will not be buying this LFD.. Such a shite idea for the chosen characters and story. I mean, who in the right mind would want to go to a concert while there’s a Zombie apocalypse? Grow up guys. And also, that song sucks..
agreed i wont get it either
also agreeing! what a load of shit seriously why the fuck would I want to play the game as a fat bearded guy who probably in reality couldn’t run away from an old granny with a walking stick let alone a whole bunch of zombies gunning for blood.
I think just add more weapons, more levels and more zombies and let hell commence.
i agree 100% ! who would want to play as the Riders- maybe just on of them but thats it- also, who the heck would want to play as the WITCH !!! why would u want to just sit there and cry all board untill and survivor came along making to much noise lol- dude WTF!?!? also, to go to a concert during all this!!!! SERIOUSY !?!?!?
I thought of this the other day! Perfect setup … 4 band members … zombie wasteland … epic win!
What about instead of a campaign like we know it, this campaign could be the creation of the team, instead of the journey of the team. Imagine seperate campaigns, lets say the midnight riders, you start on dark carnival and work through that campaign, but at the end, only one person shows up to the concert because of the zombies, their superfan. After the conclusion of that mission, all the midnight riders except dusty die. Him and the superfan make it out alive in the midnight riders van. Then, you switch to a different campaign. This time the boatman from The Parish and Jimmy Gibbs Jr. are with a couple of identical twins. They have to fight their way out of the aperture speedway or something and at the end only jimmy and the boatman live. Then Jimmy, Boatman, Dusty & the superfan all meet up and run a mission together and find the other survivors from L4D 1&2. Happy Ending! It could be 4 seperate sole survivor stories. I only did two to save space, it’s more about the concept.
What does everyone else think about that?
super badass, cool and plausible story
That would be a really awesome storyline, but there’s one problem, Jimmy Gibbs Jr. already became a zombie, in case you didn’t know. His chance of spawning is under 1% in the Atrium.
left 4 dead 3 better not be these fat fuckers that will be the stupidest shit ever killing zombies to get to the next concert that sounds like a failed guitar hero attempt they should keep it 4 strangers all fighting the zombie apocalypse not fat biker guys trying to get to their concert. who is gonna go to a concert with zombies taking over anyway? that would be stupid as hell if they make it about the midnight riders
to be honest, i didnt even know L4D had a story line. lol
I think there should deff be more special infected. I can’t wait to bash the brains outta some new zombies. About the midnight riders, I think it it would be cool to unlock them later in the game and play them if you want to but they shouldn’t be the main characters. For the main characters, I think the people from l4d2 should meet the people from the original l4d. They could team up and be the ultimate zombie-slayin team! Just a thought though… I don’t really care where it takes place but either the west coast or some other country besides the U.S. would be cool.
I wish Keith (Ellis’ friend-“Me and my buddy Keith…”) would be in L4D3
It would be the beast if it was open world gta style but much more customizable weapons I.e red dots silencers … Maybe even ability to scavenge gas for deserted cars. Make it a r.p.g collecting more more more. Body armor, guns, meds, all the goodies you would really need to survive. Even gave the multiple safe houses . And leveling up is always nice = )
I wouldn’t mind the Midnight Riders being in L4D3. I think the major problem would be the logic here. I mean, what are the odds that all four of them are immune. Unless all four of them where related to each other or brothers but that’d be kinda strange. So I think it would make much more sense to have maybe a roadie, a fan, a security guy and maybe the girl selling the merchandise to have a huge WTF moment during a show or whatever. dunno…something like that.
No way. Leave these fat guys out of l4d. The reason I love l4d is the fact it is one of the only games that doesn’t have a story line. I hate those games where you have missions and all that dodgy crap. The l4d I play is one about killing zombies and that’s it. DON’T! Put a story line in it, for the games sake. DONT!
One Thing i have to say though is that valve is very good at making a story line in the game
No female characters ? What the Hell ? I guess there are to many women as main characters in games right ? I say yes only if half are males and half females.
I would LOVE for their to be a goth character. Why not? They’ve had pretty much every other stereotype.
I think a goth, an Asian, a butch chick, and another character of their choice. That’s my idea
I Love L4D! My GF and I play it everyday online with the surround sound and the lights off- love it! i hardly blink at allwhen i play it –
Heres my top 10 idea’s for L4D 3… hope you like them.
1. More charators to choose from or to be albe to choose all 7 (minus ill of course r.i.p and thanks) from both games.
2. it would be coolto run into the military a couple times and other poeple who are hiding out and some amune and some not amune (the ones who are not amune should eventually turn into zombies if they are hit by a zombie and then we would have to kill them) – that would be cool if they could fight with us thru as many boards as they could survive.
3. More weapons
4. we should find a stray loyal or dog until he dies
5. We should be able to hide from some zombies (maybe not the special infected) if we creep quitly and keep our flash lights out.
6. we should come across some/a bicycle(s) at some point in the game (just 2 of them- two plays on each bike- bikes not all that fast).
7. there should be radio’s playing in curtain areas with news briefs about the zombie crisits or we should have a radio (just one that only one play can hold or pass to another player to hold) that gives news brief in curtain areas where the reception is good.
8. Scarier boards (more borads at night)- and just more boards and game modes period.
9. Many games with in the game – example: notes from servivors asking us to find them (they’d be dead but they would have supplies where they’re corps lay)
10. 10 IDEALS FOR NEW CHARATORS:
1 -A priest or some type of religeous or theological person
2 -A nerdy guy
3 -A Tall basketball player in his team uniform
4 -A CEO of a big time company (Female maybe)
5 -The Governors Gothic son
6 -The race car driver whos car we used in L4D 2
7 -The guy we got the cola for in L4D 2
8 -One of the midnight riders
9 -A solider in uniform
10 -A C.e.d.a worker or a medic or a stewardess (who survived a plane crash) or a bus/train/subway driver)
to last comment the race car driver is dead he is a rare uncommon infected in dead center and his name is jimmy gibbs jumior .i would like a multi raced, team read where should l4d3 take place for my idea. i like the more weapons idea but not to power enough to accidetally tk a survivor i would like to actualy have a bunch of npc’s you could talk to and boss arround or even kill them if they got infected. customising your own character would never happen but i wish u could like dress up the characters. i would love to use vehicles in 1 point but that would be to easy for the survivors.i would like to have each campaign to be eiher night or day depends on how much time you took on the last 1. for the character i would also like to continue with l4d and l4d2 where the l4d2 characters are about to be killed because they are carriers but they leave and escape to where the l4d survivors are and maybe have bill become 1 super strong mother fucking zombie on the last map where it takes all 7 survivors to kill him if possible kieth should join up with the l4d survivors.
Solid! i like the idea’s. Check this out- woldnt it be cool if L4D 3 took place before L4D 1- it would also be cool for it to take place on am island like hawaii or jamica or some where with the survivors trying to escape to the main land not knowing that its infected as well- do you if there is a place we can get offical news about L4D 3?
hi its me again. ok i figured out where the story takes place and what are the opcupations of the characters thier names and ofcourse the special infected . the story takes place in japan. ok 1st one is named jonathon.group and he is from england he is a well known and successful actor in england and he was on his way to tokyo to film a movie. secondly kyokae is from japan and she is a anime artist on her way back to publish her manga. the mexican gus ,a major mexican resteraunt player about to open a chain of resteraunts in japan. finally the pessimistic a black guy from america , he is a lawyer on his way to a courtcase. his name is tyron
story starts on the plane the co pilot was bit by a flight attendant on the last flight. he turns into a zombie and kills the pilot.the plane crashes killing all the passengers and the crew. they pick a few pistols from the cockpit and leave the crash site learning that the world has changed horribly.
then they go to a city flooded with zombies and get up a building to the roof where they find a pilot and a chopper so they get on not knowing that the pilot is infected and soon to turn. they fly over a desert and crash yet again. the heat is so unbarible and zombies attack underneath them and the zombies try to pull them down but they escape to a close cave to escape the unbarible heat.
on the otherside of the cave they find a opening which leads to a abandonned military base gull of weapons and other goodies.
it seems abandoned but its not its full of zombies ready to kill all of them in an instant.
they escape to a near by town close to the sea and the mexican severes a fatal blow to the head. they find a rumored island with the l4d survivors and thats the end. if your wondering how you they got there its becuase they took a ship that was quite big.
that’s the best idea that I ever heard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When it comes to playing L4D2 on the XBOX are there only 2 extra boards you can download? i know that there are many when it comes to playing on the pc
If they make L4D3 off the midnight riders it would ruin the whole series… In every L4D so far all the characters had a different personality and the midnight riders… Well they all look the same. Also, I don’t mean to sound sexist, but in every game so far they have had a female character and unless one of the midnight riders is keeping a secret I don’t see a female in that group.
um midnight riders? seriousely? i think the characters should be a new batch of survivors or have the survivors from left4dead 1&2 meet up. especially for girls who like playing left for dead, i would enjoy at least 1 female character again. love the games hope they keep making more, keep em bloody boys
ya actually now that i think of it i think the survivors should meet up. that would be such a killer story, have them go through crazy cities with hordes and hordes of zombies, helping eachother maybe some romance in the making between the characters. having the left for dead 1 survivors split up and do something, and the 2nd batch do something else. there should be more customising options for the characters clothes or looks. it would be awesome and im sure lots of players/fans of left for dead want to see something like this take place. more action, adventure, frendships and possibly a LONGER CAMPAIGN :]
l4d 3 needs a good storyline… where they maybe get together with characters from l4d1 and 2… it musnt be the same story type with campaigns and its always the same… build a story into it… let characters die…. get nice challenges… like to rescue another person.
Nothing is worse than all remaining survivors getting knocked down, no one to pick you up, yet you have a first aid kit. What i am thinking works only if the game automatically does this….how about if all the survivors are down, only the survivors with first aid kits will automatically stand to their feet but they will have the same level of strength they had on the ground. I am saying for the game to do it automatically so one survivor can’t use their first aid kit to get up, then help up another survivor or more who have first aid kits and allow them to heal. That wouldn’t be fair to the infected team your playing against in versus. Could fallen survivors on their last leg have a fighting chance of making it to the safe room? I doubt it but I would love the opportunity to try.
I just read through the last month of posts. I think people have some good ideas, and not so good ideas, but overall are missing the point of the game. The RPG element would ruin it, even if it were something as simple as the different characters having sightly different abilities, or levelling. The game is cooperative, and should be kept simple in style. L4D2 was done well for gameplay, almost perfect – it just needed more depth with single player, and maybe some more campaigns. The only thing L4D3 needs is to fix those things i just said as well as some minor tweaks.
Two ideas i really liked were:
-the ability to use meds whilst on the ground – maybe only to the point where you get to stand up again, but with only 15 health that degenerates.
-limited ammo stockpiles. I like the idea of conserving ammo, and sorting out who really needs it. Maybe make it so only two people in the team can take from it. I think some of the similar weapons should be replaced such as removing one or two of the 4 shotguns, and maybe the uzi. I think the 3 auto rifles are fine (all very different), and the snipers rifles are different enough. Maybe they could bring in a crossbow, flamethrower (ammo like the M60) and grenades (don’t attract zombies, but more damage than pipe).
don’t use the Midnight Riders !!! please!! i want at least one girl!
Midnight riders will not be a success, but maybe a kid this time like the little girl in kick ass haha a tuff ass little kid, and also maybe a teenager or he’ll why not have a bunch of young people like there lost and trying to find home
How about Jimmy Gibbs! He’d be a funny one. lol
I said this a long time ago on the L4D Wiki forums…
yeah they also need to make it where the pistols run out bullets to and a new cast a pro football player a high school track star h*** even otis the security guard and a gi jane type actress player more weps roc+lcher and etc like knifes beer bottle iron and more guns and i want to be able use hand to hand com+b on it and more levels it makes the game longer
I noticed that Left 4 dead always has 1 girl and at least 1 black person which in a way makes sense making everyone feel including almost. Its like a trademark, so why change that and turn it into all men. I think it would take alot of character away from the game.Not that my pinion matters lmao. I think they should add another race to the mix, maybe an asian. I thinkthat it would be cool if you started off at an ary security base, close to the midnight riders concert. almost like a couple of survivors who already survived, but then the outbreak overfload the the camp, leading them to the concert, leading them to the bus. But even if that idea is completely idiotic i think the best idea that they should put in is a custom character slot, the ability to make your own character, and have a selceted couple of names, the most common like emma, john ect ect.That way this could solve all the problems about race and sex andbring in more chracters do to the fact that they arent limited to the 4 survivors thatthey would normaly be left with which could drawalot of buyers away
Plz add the comando rifle i love tgar gun
What if there was a goth boy, football player, nerdy chick, and a funny guy like an optimistic or something. That would br such a funny situation.
come on there has to be at least 1 girl in there if its all guy no girl would want to play. if u dont then how will i find girls who play xbox going out and talking to them in person….
make it so there are 2 separate campaigns. One with the midnight riders and one with the other 4 people. then later on they can join and there could be cool 8 vs 8 versus mode and stuff.
Also make it so the other guys are more quick, agile but have less health, and maybe the midnight riders are slower but have 20 more hp?
2 campaigns. The first is the Midnight Riders trying to survive and escape.
The second has another group of survivors fighting zombified Midnight Riders.
Honestly. I think you need to add more ladies in this game. Like, think more badass chicks with a cool backround. Instead of giving the gun to a teenager or a news reporter.
Please add some women in this one! Honestly! We need some girls that can kick a**! Besides if you make it all guys it will be kinda gay. Who is supposed to be the heroine in this kickass battle? A teenager? A news reporter?… How ’bout a f***ing badass chick!
Some new infected could be hell hounds (dogs)and sludgers. the sludgers could completely blind the survivors (cause you can see through boomer bile) and slow them down if they stept in the sludge after it died. hell hounds would be fast big dogs that could drag survivors away (bout like the jockey).
i quite like the idea of creating your own survivor or even maybe your own team and adding customisations to your weapons as you progress with the campaign (keeping the same gun of course). or even as you progress you could recruit other survivors to assist you on your way. but add features eg if your team-mate dies s/he will never come back and you must find others. just brainstorming though
Screw Midnight Riders, give us the Angels of Death.
HELL YEAH
I think the idea of the midnight riders is not good at all, and creating your own character doesnt convince me. The idea od a badass girl does sound good, or maybe 3 girls and one boy or something like that. And also more campaigns abd more weapons couldnt do any harm
Typical women comment, 2 men and 2 women that’s enough, not 1 female and 3 males kinda sucks
Also one badass girl is lame, that’s what Tomb Raider is for go play that
Here is an idea for the cast:
1) an asian guy or chick
2) soccer mom
3) ex marine or other member of the military
4) black farmer
and start in country of the Midwest and include like major city like Chicago.
a soccer mom wouldent be too cool, and the asian shouldent just be an asian, he/she would be an asian gang member…also, im not sure we should put another bill in there… nuff said
Here is an idea: have an asian guy, a soccer mom, a black college student, and an ex military trying to survive the mid west and include passing through a major city like Chicago or Detroit. Because the mid west don’t have alot of places to be rescued it would be harder.
Alright so I just raed a few of the comments and theres one thing I have to say, The has to be at least one girl! being a girl myself I find it stuped when they make game with all guys. Plus I’m pretty certen that if its just the midnight riders I wont be getting the game. As for the leveling up idea, I go with this last guy who commented. Its not a good idea, L4D is simple and should stay that way. Oh and the crossbow, Awesome. I’d love to see some new and different weapons in the game.
dont you think this might ruin the whole series? I mean really… the midnight riders suck and are uglier than a dog that just got molested in the face. there’s always at least a girl in the game, and (im not trying to be racist) but a black guy. DOES THIS EXPLAIN!?
Dude, they are awesome, and they look awesomely awesome… fu*kin dusty looks like kerry king, and also, if it was them, you could kill dudes with not only guitars (from l4d2) but you could start beating the crap out of people with drumsticks and bass (not too exited for bass…) and a mic… it would be a perfect oprotunity to get new melee weapons…that is all.
I don’t know about the midnight riders, they’re all the same really and that’d ruin it!
The first cast of characters were great because they were 4 completely different people yet mixed together so well. The 2nd cast were good but not as. But that seems to be what makes it fun, getting to know the 4 different characters who are united by, zombies!
How about 4 completely different people from different countries this time as apposed to people from america? That’d mix it up and make it more interesting. Like an american character, an english character, a russian character, and a jamaican character? or from anywhere (nothing cheesy though)
Do the Cast from Zombieland and also include Bill Murray!!
Whay cant you increase to 6 players and up the Hordes to compensate?
OK, guys, we know you want girls in there… gosh
they should put, Adolf Hitler, Josef Mengele, Charlie Manson, and H.H. Holmes in l4d3 lol
I say if the survivors met with another survivor and helped them escaped in a certain terrain and the another survivor helped them get in the rescue vehicle but spared his life for hi friends to escape.
I THINK THAT WHATEVER THEY COME UP WITH FOR L4D3, THEY SHOULD HAVE A SPECIAL EXTRA CAMPAIGN WITH CHARACTERS LIKE, HOMER SIMPSON, PETER GRIFFIN, AMERICAN DAD AND SHREK OR A CHARACTER FROM FUTURAM AFTER YOU BEAT ALL OTHER CAMPAIGNS. THE DIALOGUE WOULD BE HILARIOUS AND I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE WEAPONS THEY COULD COME UP WITH. JUST A THOUGHT TO BRING A LITTLE AND IMAGINATION TO THE PLATFORM. PLUS, I WOULD LOVE TO HOMER SIMPSON BLOW UP A BOMER JUST TO SAY “IN YOUR FACE” AS IT SPLATTERED ON THE OTHER CHARACTERS.
all of the survivors from 1 aand 2 together and they meet the midnight riders in chicago or ny city or L.A and the riders give them weapons and stuff and all of them escape in some EPIC finalley! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT
I would not buy this game if the 4 main characters were the midnight riders, plain and simple. One thing I think needs improving is over all diversity of weapons. You have shotguns, automatics, snipers, pistols, melee. These have always felt more for aesthetic purposes rather than actually changing the way you move and play. While each has its strengths and weaknesses, picking one over the other doesn’t change much, if anything at all.(Except sniping to help your dumb teammates who try to be a hero on the finale). Melee weapons feel like cookie cutters of each other, each has a high damage, and hits at about the exact same speed, because a Katana and Frying Pan are such equal weapons in real life. The auto rifles have been credited with being diverse, but its really a minor change in how it feels as a gun.
Suggestions
Melee weapons having different speeds and damages. Dual sicles(fastest melee, weak damage, good against horde).
Explosives, more of them. Boomer bile was nice addition, but has a major draw back of callling up a horde. Its used primarily for cleaing zombies out of the way so you can move through. How the earth ceda captured and extracted this from a boomer is beyond me. As some others have said, explosives that are more damaged based would be nice.
Finales are generally the same, hold them off, rescue comes in. Bridge on parish was a little different, you had to actually run to saftey. But I had one major problem with it. The zombies were coming from the other side of the bridge. The “safe side” with a rescue escort. To give these parts a different flavor, I think you should incorporate something like the bridge ending, but instead of running into a massive horde, why not run from them. Just make the level harder to navigate for the people, so the zombies and catch them early. Also having them run from tanks that are released early to chase them would add to the hype and desperation.
Also having more characters to choose from would be nice, but if you can’t do that, or if it would take away from the rest of the game, please give us some people who are likeable. First left for dead had great characters. Left for dead 2 didn’t in my opinion. Fat black guy, criminal who dressed in a suit(the only guy I like on this game), black girl who I didn’t find all that likeable, and a country hick(I hate ellis….. and Keith).
Sorry but you are wrong. Ellis is not a hick. He is the best character in L4D2.
Don’t forget that it took place in the south…
i agree with the melee weapons however a slight alteration i agree that they should be different strength and weekneses but if this were the case i also think they sould break after too much use and that there should be alot more weapons throughout the level, also i think it would be good if some of the objects around the levels were interactive (make your own weapon) like in that game on the old playstation one i think it was fighting force you could rip railings off the wall and throw random objects around at the enemies. and i think a few new enemies need to be incorperated summat like a pack of infected dogs that attrack attention when barking and attack you if you get too close (if you have any more ideas add to this post and expand some ideas) …..
That sounds stupid. Be a fat over the hill rocker because some Valve groupies are obsessed with them and gimmicks? Yeah well you guys are gonna find out the people playing this game aren’t in the Midnight Riders demographic. The game itself and collision detector are what needs work. How about focusing on that instead of lame ass gimmicks? Simple. Set the bitch OUT WEST this time. Use two Latin characters cousins. Latino dudes like gang bangers or cholos, an Asian chick, and a white surfer guy. Hell surf board melee weapon, Hang Ten achievement. Awesome possibilities. BOOM. Huge fucking hit. Go through Hollywood, the beaches, the desert, etc. Left 4 Dead 3: Fight through L.A. Maybe they are heading towards Northern Cali. That would be so awesome. You guys did East, South, and not we need West. Then for Left 4 Dead 4, it needs to be like a Left 4 Dead ALL STARS where all the groups meet up and you can choose what you like for a huge final showdown. If you want GOOD marketable ideas? You see me. I said all this first!
I like your idea but having two latino dudes is a bit over the minority standard. Why not just have 1 latino dude, 1 asian chick, 1 white surfer dude, and 1 black chef or something. Overall, you’re idea is the same idea I was thinking but I’ll let you take it.
hmmm, scratch the latino. cuban! That’d be a character.
OMG! I can’t believe you people! This is best idea yet; Midnight Riders should definitely be the main characters in the next sequel, not some mambo-jambo Homer Simpson shit and Nazis, or anything that has to do with already seen (been there, done that). It’s clear some people here don’t play enough games on the subject…
I support this idea by every means! GO MIDNIGHT RIDERS!!! GO VALVE!!!
The cast isn’t diverse enough :/ They’re all fat white guys.
I like “Team Aspen” idea go thru hollywood nd fight all thoze b****** nd the characterz i jst like dat idea LoL 😉
I want two girls this time! Two likable characters. Someone mentioned latino. Lets do something to contrast that, make the relationship one that would not have otherwise happened. Maybe a bad-ass, dark type chick? Not exactly goth, but not exactly female Francis. Just dark/mysterious. Tattoos, dark hair, quiet, bad ass.
yeh she should be like letty out of fast and furious exept mor dark and eary im sure she is a little latina and i agree with the whole hollywood scene but as im from england i think they should maybe stick in some hardcore thug from london with a bad attitude and peice of 2×4 to wrap around some zomby ass (vinny jones Gone in sixty seconds) i think that would be an awsom addition.
midnight riders? really? after playing the game as many times as i have i sill dont know who they are. frankly they are too much like each other and already have a relationship with one another being a band and all. what gamers enjoy is that special bond you get with someone only after pulling them out of the jaws of some bloodthirsty beast…precious. what we look forward to is diversity which has be incorperated from movies like dawn of the dead to zombieland. Its a working formula why mess with it? i don’t personally have any ideas but looking at the suggestions of others there is some real potential.
As for location I recommend L.A, Vegas, or Florida. Mostly Vegas so as to counteract the darkness of the storyline with a glamorous twist.
some characters should be like…
1. Keith (Ellis’s Pal)
2. a Swat Officer (Male)
3. 1 Member Of Midnight Riders
4. A Nurse (Female of course)
but with Keith in the game he should tell stories just like how Ellis did in Left4Dead2… and the Swat officer be there to help with descriptions on weapons… and the Midnight Rider to provide music and other entertainment to the group 🙂
and last but not least, the nurse.. she can identify early when somebody needs health or knows more about when somebody is about to get “incapped”
I don’t like the midnight riders idea.. and what i do like is a different setting this time.. maybe make it possible to actually drive a car a few blocks or something. and maybe ad a level where they need to go thru a ZOO full of infected creatures like lions and and f*cking zombie Hippo’s xD.
but don’t let us create characters ourself the game would be one big mess then with people making ridiculous chars. keep it simple but yet interesting. also like many others said already make more weapons and don’t make them all ‘the same’ i mean, is you shoot a horde with a AK or with a shottie the result is the same. add some weapons like crossbows or weapons that really take some SKILL to handle.. any person can aim with a shotgun.. give us some bazooka’s let them go thu hollywood. and PLEAS make one level where they have to go in a millitary base with a one time OVERFLOW of weapons and let all hell brake loose! don’t make it too simple i played L4D2 a couple of hours on expert and i was finished.. make it more challenging this time!
Ok so, ive read a lot of these things heres my thoughts. Please comment n stuff. Dont have customizable characters. Do have girls and guys. Do have at least one black person and one girl. Do change most of the melee weapons. Dont have the midnight riders. Tank should be able to hit everything(tables,chairs,etc…) not just cars. Although you should be able to recover faster from smaller objects thrown at you. More variety in weapons, not so there are many types of one weapon(shotgun) Keep it simple in terms of health and movement(No call of duty perks) Everyone same health. Maybe, maybe people who are down should be able to move slowly, very slow(questionable)
No vehicles during the level!
Meh
Need an asian guy in there…
my concept dream team would be:
Asian hipster (sarcastic)
A zoey takeoff (aka, cute funny college chick…ooh, gamer chick!)
Damn I miss Francis…so, Francis’s brother (midnight riders bassist or something)
and a cop…brown guy (cant put the finger on his ethnic background…perhaps black, perhaps middle eastern, perhaps etc…covers all the bases of the not caucasian or asian demographic)
So ya, gamer chick, asian jerk, Biker dude, and Cop…that works well enough in regards to dynamics…(could make the asian the female actually, and have some nerdy gamer kid..like in zombieland
And where? Vegas baby…alternatively california.
Beverly hills, “the hood”, perhaps a vineyard, san francisco, etc.
I like love your idea! I think there should be a nerd instead of a cop though.;) That would be funny lol
got ya cookies got ya milk got ya shotgun trained to tha chimmney
THE ANGELS OF DEATH ! THEY SHOULD BE SURVIVORS IN SOME WAY !!!!!!! I THINK THAT WOULD BE GREAT!! also chicago ted would be great
play as midnight riders {easter egg were you see there van drive across the road in the passing ‘l4d2’} they fight in canada! 🙂
Needs two girls && two boys, three new monster things and a car…that would be awsome 😉
Vegas baby! Make the whole theme Vegas! Haha! From the dressing to the casinos heeeeelll yeah!
1. Prostitute
2. Surfer dude
3. Actor
4. midget
Infected Cat Woman that would because she could throw hardball, or cats ,or something. Or prostitute infected.
In Vegas.
Levels
1.Vegas
2.casino
3.the beach
4.China town
Also maybe just Californias hot spots like Hollywood sand deign zoo.
Also Antarctica frozen zombies!!!
The levels also go with the people below. Except for my new ideas.
Left 4 Dead have been my favorite game ever since I saw the trailer i bought at launch and didnt stop playin even today so i think creating new characters will be a game that people like some characters more than others, my opinion is to join the survivors of the first with the second and then they find an eighth character and the campaign can choose eight people (survivors) and increase the number of infected and if necessary admitted the infected “The Screamer” would be an excellent option in a game like that or keep choosing any of the 8 survivors mixing between the l4d1 and l4d2 while maintaining the same standard of the game with four infected at a time
i really want l4d3 looking like that, aprecciate that
i think there should be 8 characters or so to choose from the start, but still have 4 player co-op. and the characters that weren’t chosen should be seen throughout some of the levels getting torn up by some zombies in the background or whatnot. AND also, my best idea for the game would be to introduce zombie animals… and one of the campaign chapters taking you through a zoo! i do like the screamer idea too, but my best thought was there should be a zombie that crawls on the ground really fast and grabs you and can drag you away from the other survivors. sorta like a smoker and a jockey put together, but just be really fast.
let me add on by saying ive read the other ideas and i sorta like the jamaican guy idea, maybe the stereotypical jamaican? you know? with dreads and a big rasta colored shirt with capris and sandals on. another character should have a southern accent for those in the south, such as myself, to play as. almost as saying i chose this character because he sounds like me. just not in overalls and work boots. we aren’t all like that, haha. i think there should also be a female nurse character, i read this from somebody else but i like the idea a lot! and the last of my character ideas are a young female hooker and i DO like the badass chick idea.
Interesting ideas. I like the idea about balancing it out and the melee replacements.
DO’s.
1. 2 girls, 2 guys. Preferably one latin supermodel girl who is sarcastic & kicks ass(hot body, skimpy clothes). One asian store lady. One black business-CEO dude. One midnight rider.
2. Increase the melee availability by allowing players to grab them off certain things. For example, a steering wheel bat (for where there are cars near by) etc. I also like the idea of the speed being taken into account for different melee… like the difference between a katana and a pan. I do like that different types deal different damage (for eg. the katana can kill a tank in 4-5 strokes) so I want that kept.
3. I like the idea of having a special infected that is hard to kill, and instead of being attracted by sounds or hordes, runs away. If you kill it before it runs or disappears, it drops things like healthy stuff, so probably a special infected nurse.
Suggestions :
– Characters :
A fireman/cop called David – black and short hair – latino – wearing an cop/fireman suit.
An ingeneer woman called Marine – long and brown hair – white – wearing clothes like Ellis
A nerd called Jasper with broken glasses – but he keeps wearing them though – white – he would spend his time saying “Playing games in my life wasnt that useless ha ha” and to add more humor a voice with braces. Like when he would say “retard” we would hear “weetart” (Referring to Elliot goes to school videos, search on Youtube) His skin would be like Xavior 3.10 lol.
And the 4th character would be an asian grocer which shows off because he’s good at shooting (trained against robbers).
– Zombies and Versus :
– They should create a new zombie called The Strangler : a kind of submarine smoker that catches survivors with his tentacles and when he dies, a wave of ink appears to blind the survivors. Of course, survivors should have the possibility to swim and this zombie would be the only one under water.
– So many people complained about having hunters stealing smoker’s target in versus mode. So now this 2 zombies could have a special cooperation : while the smoker strangle a survivor, a hunter on him would take out his insides.
This way, they would damage more (maybe 2x ) and then nobody would complain.
If the survivor dies, the 2 zombies earn a killing point. That would make more coop and less ragequits. I’m trying to find other combinings with the other zombies.
Campaigns :
– Longer (like 6 or 7 stages and one around 3 or 4 where you can control a vehicule like trucks, choppers, trains, buses, with a fuel level).
– Hordes of tanks
– Several items to find to fix vehicules.
– New weapons :
Shovel, Pickaxe, Drill (chainsaw function), Sword (you could find it in museums)
Rocket launcher and flame thrower (very rare and low ammo) – Usefull against tanks hordes.
More pistols such as Colts, Bull 480, Six-gun, etc.
Tankers destroyables (like the gaz station in No Mercy).
– New things :
Silent (you bother less zombies by using it)
Scope for some weapons
The possibility to reverse your gun and use it as a melee weapon, this way you can have a melee weapon and 2 pistols.
A bag that gives you a 6th slot.
You have to feed your character.
An apnee and infection system and you would be drained of your health faster than pills.
A special campaign with the 4 L4D1 survivors would be this :
L4D3 survivors arrive with 2 boats under the bridge. You have to cover each L4D1 survivor and make sure they escape at least on one of the two boats. An achievement would be to save Bill’s body (RIP old man).
Places where it would take place ?
All those mentionned are excellent (Las Vegas, San Francisco) and why not somewhere in between the USA and Canada ? I want some snow.
Suggestions (I forgot this)
There would places where survivors would need to wear a wetsuit or a “anti radiations” suit to go across very infected places.
I like that idea
A Weed smoker- this smoker smoked weed and other drugs. When he is killed his smoke makes the survivors hallucianate. He wears a t-shirt and cargo pants.
Let’s play as left behind ceda officers or Middle school or high school students. campaigns where survivors are split in two. BETTER YET let’s have campaigns where we run into other survivors. LEt’s remeber in a real apoc, some people wouldnt team up and share the weapons and food, they would kill you and take your stuff.
SO the surivors would run into other survivors or a crazy group and have to kill them. CUTSCENES.
i like this very much 😀
Like they kill you and then even more survivors come into the story! 😀
the interesting thing to do would be to have the back-story as: they got away in a van and picked up a few survivors. then, the next day, they were zombified and tried to attack them. the Riders then took up arms and managed to get them out of the bus then race off, and that is when they race past the main characters in l4d2’s The Passing in the bus as they are racing away. then it would start out like a mix of the sacrifice and dark carnival where you run out of gas or drive-able road because of a pileup of zombies and wrecked cars.
I would like to see 4 people be able to play on one console … The possibilities of l4d3 are endless. I have nothing against the Midnight Riders, but im a hip-hop fan. Would like to see something to appeal to this audience..
Their Should Be More Players Like L4D1 And L4d2 Battling Together In The 3 Game. More Fun And Exciting Having More People But Make It Alot Harder Since You Have 8 Players Altogether
There would only be 7 cuz Bill T^T is dead then it would be called something dumb like Left 7 To Die
Zoey, Francis and Louis are on the island now anyway so it’s only 4 or 8 (Midnight Riders)
they should make an asian person in the game, and it should take place in seattle where its more of a city like place and some country areas it would be cool
Perhaps the best suggestion I’ve ever seen
Why not try those soldiers from the L4D comics?? i mean when the L4D1 battled their way to the train and got away clean, the remaining soldiers made a last stand, it could be a good start from there on.
If the midnight riders was in the next left4dead game i personally think thats stupid. Those characters lack *shall i say a certain vibe. They are to simple minded. The other 2 L4D games also had atleast 1 girl to keep both genders of gamers happy. This doesnt appeal to anyone BUT hardcore l4d gamers. they wouldnt do this as the base game. Maybe as a side downloadably.. but NOT a full game based on them. Dont get my wrong. i like all their easter eggs and their songs 😀 but personally i would not see this as a benefit to their next realese. If there is one. And my Wish list would be To possibly create YOUR own UNIQUE survivor. that would be sweet. That goes towards creating your own* speacial infected. *side note. an open world game just surviving threw a city filled with hordes of zombies 🙂 would also be fun
lol tho on the plus side. nobody would fight over the characters really. bcuz they are all sorta the same. which is both a problem and a good thing
yeah but if youve ever played the original the slot for zoey is ALWAYS taken, shes very popular, so not only s it a good idea for custom slots to be made because t always you to make any gender you want, but also any race, so evry nationalty can play with whatever type of race they would like. plus just using the same 4 characters gets extremley borng after awhile
Then it would be left four the whole make your character sounds cool but what if you want to just play without making a person.
i think they should have a custom character slot, the ability to make your own character but use the most common names. This would allow everyone to involve all their ideas fro black to white from Mexican to other nationalities. Also have the ability to choose what type of zombies would be spawned in the game in case something like a tank or a witch would be to hard for a person just trying the game. I think making the midnight riders the characters would make valve loose alot of business, since alot of players are female/ tend to go towards the female character. So making the whole character set male could draw people away from the game. Also i feel how the camera was angled in the original left 4 dead was way better then the second left 4 dead. I think the left 4 dead 2 screen was way to close. I felt like i could see what i was doing/ what was around me in the first which most likely why i never play the second one and find alot of people playing the original too
that would suck if it was the midnight riders
Would love to see this instalment break away from the others and introduce some really cool new stuff, like unlockable abilitys such as sneaking up on or past common infected undetected. Would also love to see things like having to face other survivors such as bandits etc… And possibly the introduction of some random game modes like something hilarious like being trapped in a maze with a which, quickest time to escape wins. Also a more in depth story line new characters, maybe even a couple of missions were a character flashes back to when the infection just starts, with a different mission for every character 🙂 4 me that would kick ass!!!!
I would like to see a zombie who resembles a survivor, but when you get to close, it steals either your health kit, pain pills, or even a Molotov, pipe bomb or any other helpful items you can collect. In order to get them back you have to kill the zombie. Call it the swiper or the undead thief. Maybe a family member of the fallen survivor.
believe they already have that, it was in the left 4 dead 2 dlc the passing, hard to find but some zombies carried those types of items, and was hard to see their appearence since they were coveredin all sorts of different mis matched clothng lke a tourist
in the new l4d3 i would like to see custom survivors,i liked the opisite attitudes in each of the survivors in the first l4d,make new survivors that all hate each other but have to work together in order to survive.the story should take place in more famouse like areas such as cedar point,las vegas,(places like that)the survivors should be different looking,height and nationality.should add more acsessories and cool items that the survivors could have.make zombie worse than tank,(add 3 new special infected)left 4 dead was the whole reason i got an xbox,i liked it that much that i needed to have the game to myself.please read my comments valve,and creators of left 4 dead.LEFT 4 DEAD is awsome!!!!!!>:)
i think they should put at one guy from the band in l4d3 i mean why would they put the whole band in there with no girl but if they dont put one of the band member in l4d3 than i think it would be a great dlc meeting the midnight riders
How about a special infected that digs underground and tries to dig pits for you. That could make things interesting.
Having it set in a place like Las Vegas would be cool because it would make the smoker that much more dangerous.
Maybe having it a little more free roam like being able to enter all those random buildings, it gives people the feeling of being able to explore.
Destroyable wall/buildings. I would like the idea of being able to throw a pipe bomb next to a wall and destroying that wall. Now I am not saying every wall should be that way but a few or just not the mission critical buildings.
just bring back the original characters! left 4 dead 2 characters were fucked up!
also just get rid of the jockey, charger, and mabye the spitter because they are all stupid!
keep all the original weapons!
Worst idea ever…..period
I think having the option to build and customize you own survivors is a great idea, it would certanl;y put a new spin on the game but I also think meapion customization would be fantastic. It would mean that players who have a very upclose and personal style can maybe fix a pointed object such as a knife or screwdriver held on to the weapon by duct tape. Or if you could attach a silencer to a weapon, it would mean you could take out individuals of the infected without the whole hoard being alerted. I also think that setting the game in european countries(I am from england :))tates would be a great idea. This could change the style of the zombies, say a smoker in America would wear a white shirt and torn jeans, where as a smoker in somwhere like France would wear a stripped shirt and even a beret. Hope someone out there finds these comments and takes them onboard because the last two L4D games have been awesome but i still think there is room for improvement. thanks
Really, REALLY good ideas. Combine the melee weapon styles from L4D2 with makeshiftery! also, if you had the settings in Europe, there are like a million countries there that are distinguishable not only by their landmarks, but by their people. Perhaps you could have to fight your way to the top of the eiffel tower to be picked up by a helicopter pilot with a rope ladder… or fight your way up the spanish steps in Rome… I’m just sayin’… Possibly fighting in the Swiss alps? Yeah? Snowboarding zombies? lol…
i think there needs to be one more DLC pack where rochelle is the only one to make it out and then in the beginning of L4D3 she meets up With the midnight riders but when she gets there the lead singer or sum 1 is dead so she joins them in the apoc, That way you could fit in a girl so nobody would FREAK THE HELL OUT 🙂
Do something new like famous Rappers such as 50 cent, Eminem, Waka Flocka Flame, and lastly Wiz Khalifa
I think this is a great idea. Espeacially if there could be a girl as in one of their girlfriends as a character. she could wear a leather jacket, a blachbelly tang top, a black leather mini-skirt, with blond hair. Many people also believe u should put in the haggard, the screamer, i also have an idea if u put an underdround zombie with slight earthgakes before he comes out. U should put more weapons in. like a grenade.
i dont like the midnight riders at all….. im a big fan of left4dead… and i really really like to see some caracter from part one and other ones from part two…exemple (nick, bill, zoe,coach or francis) and have new zombies like the one your mention the screamer……. the place a crowdy one like new york san francisco california or even texas…. XD
I dont like the idias of the midnight greasy bikers ….id prefur as sombody said to customize your survivor/avatar and use it onlin… and yes i agree with the other guy charger are usless get rid of them jockeys are good i took a hole team out with one on realism online versus spitter are brill so dont kill them … problems: if we could customize our surviours some peaple might make hippies from the 80s in bright coulers and that wouldent resemblize the zombie apocolipse …. and the charger is a pain in the ass cos if you charge you may miss and stumbe then get shot but is you hit one you cant controle were u go and u get shot and kicked out the game/lobby there crap (HUNTERS ARE THE BEST NEVER DIS THEM) cristian out
soooooooo we are definetly sure there will be a l4d3!?!?!?
Ive seen a site where it told us that Valve planned on making a L4D3 Left 4 Dead: Underground Left 4 Dead: Underground 2 and Left 4 Dead: Carbone
all i hope is true and will come out in the near future
it basically doesnt matter to me if u can customize your character or not i just want another left 4 dead!!!
Like what the others say, I think it would be better to have more than just 4 survivors. Not to play as all in a group simultaneously, but the story would alternate between each group of 4. It would be nice to see some more diverse aspects of new characters. One part of the story focusing on a group of Exterminators/Soldiers, and then another part of the story switches to another group.
I have seen a l4d3 leek on a website which says that the new left 4 dead will be the return of all the left 4 dead origional characters come back to kill the infected once and for all! However much of a good idea tis is, I really hope that it is not true because i still want custom survivor and weapon customization.
i think that l4d3 should start off in the military. like the main characters would be 4 rangers looking for survivors in the city but run into some zombie problems.
I think the midnight riders idea Is pretty good plus have them meet up with the l4d or l4d2 characters
I think the midnight riders idea is very smart idea have them meet up with the l4d or l4d2 characters 8 player co-op!
I wasnt a fan of the midnight riders. Not a fan of this idea either D:
I think its might be a good idea but put at least on person from the band in l4d3 why would valve put the whole band in there i mean its like l4d were all the l4d charcters know each other so yea one person from the band in l4d3 and if they dont it would probably be a great DLC.
yeah midnight riders will be boss so that i can play daily l4d3
1 you need to take out middnet riders and put zoye bill francis louis
2 i like the scramer but you are bing no more the zomibas
i hink that for the charecters yoou should have Zoey,Francis,Bill,Louis,Ellis,Coach,Nick and Rachel . so you can pick from all eight of them . not he midnight riders because there just dumb charecters . and i think that the screamer is a good special infected too put in there . but i think you need too make a two headed speacil infected , where it’s two times the better . and it would make the game just a little bit more challaging . or maybe even something that flies .
Bill is dead dude.
uhhh, i dont think midnight riders would be a good idea, its kinda disturbing thou. I wouldn’t mind if the characters where old. well the screamer is really awesome!!! dang can’t wait to plaaaaay it!!!!
hey, i dont think left 4 dead shuld have ANY main characters in the game think they shuld let the players desside how to look and where They come from. Also, I could imagine and not have hordes, becouse it seems so fake, if you do put out fewer stronger zombies That never give up before they are completely dead, when i mean not give up before they are dead i mean that if u shoot off both legs the zombie starts dragging himself after u with his arms. horde is cool don’t misunderstand me but it wuld be much cooler if it had ben fewer zombies, it makes you feel more alone in the game, or they culd just make the game that way that you can hide from the horde. they can also make ironsights that wuld be AWSOME.
Thanks!
Actually Custom character makes it hard for Steam network and internet usages.
But this “Midnight riders” look realy bad.like the heavy mettalers.i don’t like them.The characters before were normal people and touchable but these guys are not.
Thnx
I say you should get one character from L4D1 and another From L4D2, then put in 2 new characters. One of the new characters should be a teen, why do only adults survive?
Ok this my idea for an infected….. Gorey its a model of a infected docter who was treating the infected people when the virus struck and so on he got so much blood on him that he turned crazy and he wanted blood spilled and it just drove him crazy, when so much blood got on him he was mistaking to be a zombie sense of the smell and looks just like a zombie but he was a just a physco human who has a hand held saw blade for the special attack he would cut his out side on gut anything on him and he would throw it at you causing 10 damage but also you lost 20 for the reason your crazy and you just cut your self, and the health base would a be a amount of regular 100 health…. AND ALSO when you get hit with the gut or skin your hole screen will get over with blood causing you not to see nothing it doesn’t cause a horde to come after you but good for team workand the blood doesn’t come off by time distance you gotta hit melee attack rapidly while shaking your mouse left a right swiftly and the blood fades on how many times you have done it…. and msot important sense no infections have good melee attacks just special attacks and weaky punches and scratches Docter Gorey would hit you with the saw blade cause 20 damage but once again 100 health thats 1 bullet or 2 just to kill him so yea it seems really good
ok midnight riders idea no offense to the real band but thats just silly we need fictional main characters not real people that takes the fun out also make all the characters from everygame intertwine together some how and yes different countries yeah sounds great actually maybe it can start in a military base as four rangers or four dif branches of military that are alone and must fighht out of the base and complete there mission of getting coach ellis rochelle and nick and they run into the old l4d characters and they group up and go to europe in search of “HAVEN” but before you get of whatever transportation you took to get there you pick who you want based on the teams skills and tactics
I don’t know about all of you but I want customizable characters with gender, race, and physical feature options, and if you don’t want to make one u can pick at random it the sorta the same thing it is now or atleast a (playable?) dog
It should have a mmo like feel like playing with every other survivor online or every other infected + a campaign with no midnight riders
There should be a kid atleast, or a teenager 🙁
suggestion, it would be nice they would create 4 new characters then bring back the l4d1 and l4d2 characters with new face like longer beards, dirtier looks. they would start different places, and then meet up in a really really LARGE map(final stage) and ask for help. screamer for the last map 😀
i dont really agree with the whole midnihgt riders thing i mean there cool but it wouldnt follow the concept of 3 men and one women and i think they all look a little wierd lol
I like the customizable character idea a lot and i don’t like this midnight readers junk. One it doesn’t appeal to hip hop fans like me and it doesn’t appeal to a female audience like me. I think each person picking up a controller should be able to really put themselves in the game literally. As for the place of start who wouldn’t want to see a happy place in ruins like California or Florida. Its something interesting about picturing the always dark and dreary left for dead 1&2 setting on palm trees and the beach. That brings me to my next conclusion the screamer would be awesome and i mean awesome, but it might be to hard for some players so why not categorize which special infected come out in which difficulty setting. The easy setting should feature the charger the spitter and the smoker, medium setting should feature the hunter, witch, all of the easy infected and maybe one tank. The hard setting should feature all infected along with any new special infected made. If the game did take place in Florida or California make the infected swim that would be the shit and it would scary. There should be more dialogue when meeting all of the left for dead 1&2 characters in the campaigns. Make the old characters vicious since your meeting them one by one hey they’ve been fighting this apocalypse for years why not a little bit of rage. I think it would be bad ass to be able to walk inside of buildings. It makes staying with your teammates sound like a good idea and it ups the spooky.
i think u should be able to make ur own character and it should take place like newark…………………………………………………………
Another idea is tht u should make it inthe old west and let it be talkin the towns and mountains in the old west and should only be able to use old west guns,meles,and grenade type things
There Needs To Be a Chick =( Not Just Old Trucker guys =((
How about at the start the Midnight Riders are driving and then slowly run out of gas, and then a Tank smashes into the truck and you’re the only one living. Then you have to find other survivors… Endless possibilities…
I like the idea of 8 player co-op you could replace bill with keith since bill is dead
Nah, the survivors of the first (Left4Dead) are safe
We’ll see what might happen to the survivors of Left4Dead2
or who shall die!
And then Keith will be dead, or just an imaginary friend of Ellis
Make the characters customizable. That’d be awesome. No disrespect to those who wants them, but I don’t think they’d be a good fit really. They seem…simple-minded.
NEEDS A HOT CHICK, probably one of the midnight riders, guy like bill (in l4d) and KEITH
It needs to have a girl character. Otherwise, I will not play it. The very fact that these characters are so linear as categorized as “riders”; I already do not want to play it.
I agree with you guys, there should be a charater select for all the charaters for l4d. But I would like it if Bill came back and if Keith was in it because I loved being Bill and in the intro l4d2 charaters bring Bill to life. Even if his actor went to jail or died, I’d still would like it even if he had his old lines.
Left 4 dead needs to bring all the old charictors together in one game.. it will make the choice selection better.. the rider thing could be intresting but there is no chicks.. why noy have a biker chick, like a groupie? so far for me L4D1 was the best with gameplay.. but weapons from L4D2 was awsum.. L4D3 hopefully will be EPIC
I think that they should make it so that you can either make your own character or pick a team of the previous L4D cast, also my friend came up with this thing where you can inject yourself with the infection and gain a part from a special infected for a short time.
toung=smoker
crotch=jockey
legs=hunter
arm= charger
neck=spitter
stomach=boomer
four injections in each arm=tank
I’ve seen people suggest children and animals and I like the idea. With hoards I usually just aim high and clear them out getting almost all headshots. Children would force you to adjust the elevation of shooting. I love the idea of the screamer.
Adding some form of armor would be cool. Like survivors finding football pads and helmets or bulletproof vest.
I also want to fight zombies in places like the pacific northwest- add in some swimming zombies in island areas
LA-texas-alaska.
Also I think the computers should be able to pick up molotovs pipebombs etc. And at least give them to you to use. I don’t think people would like it if they threw them at random times.
Id like to see during gameplay a counter next to survivors names to se who has killed the most zombies. With my friends we get really competitive on who is the most dominate.
And lastly my friends and I discussed a flying zombie that is similar in randomness to the witch and tank. Add some difficulty and variety to tank/witch gameplay.
they should put the zombie they were suggesting i believe his name was ravange….i was thinking if he’s another version of the tank or some mostousity with metal bones coming out his back
I love that idea i completely agree. Children and animal or just children at least. There arnt just adult zombies out there. The screamer is genious but they should also make at least 3 new zombie specials.
screamer wasnt th screamer in l4d(1)…..but other than that i cant wait….valve should fix the witch’s apearence and the spitters speed….
Why would I want to play as the Midnight Riders? I want a 2 girl 2 guy team with more interaction in the saferooms between the characters like break downs, discussions, etc.
I agree Im a female and its fair to have 2 chicks and 2 dudes
make it so you can customize or create your own person and if you dont then add more girls to play with and make it as if two special infecteds get close to each other then they should have like a special power combination
THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH CUSTOMIZING YOUR OWN CHARACTER IS THAT THE SURVIVORS CAN’T TALK TO YOU BY YOUR NAME OF YOUR CUSTOMIZED SURVIVOR! YOU WOULD HAVE TO READ THE CONVERSATION IN A THE TALK BUBBLE unless valve gives a list of names you can choose from so people don’t have to read a talk bubble
i think we should continue on with l4d2 characters in left 4 dead 3 their story hasn’t finished yet. we still need to find out what happens to them when their with the army. i wouldn’t want to play as the midnight riders , but i rather have them as npc’s
All of the becoming a infected for a second wouldn’t follow the story the legged out and would destroy any sense of realisticness..Midnight Riders wouldn’t quite fit..Maybe a downloadable content?Or skin?
I do think as weird it’d be for Keith to join the L4D 1 crew, I like the idea.
But I actual wouldn’t be surprised if Keith never existed.
I played Bill the most,But his character was meant to be dead.
Also why doesn’t anyone suggest a prison?Am I the only one who thinks that would be cool?
I’ll probably keep commenting with rants and ideas.
Cheers-
Hippie the Critic
there wont be a l4d3 without female character.females make the gaming more interesting and all would prefer to be 2 females and 2 males,or 1 female and 3 males,rather than playing as midnight riders.i also believe that midnight riders will be something like helping hands like the 3 survivors of l4d in the passing of l4d2.dont u agree in that?well thats my opinion 🙂
Uhhh…no. No girls and all guys looking like the same character? Boring. They could be aids though, other random survivors that help out the playable characters.
But i truly think this valve just make completely different people from the left 4 dead games because it would be boring using the same characters over and over
We need Keith, and it should take place in like the dessert.
I think this idea is just stupid ..
I think what would be cool is if you could travel all around the world and use stuff like cars and bikes and I think you should also be able to use more then just 2 weapons you should be able to use like 2 guns and a melee weapon plus be able to create your own team and customize there cloths looks and stuff and make the campaign a real challenge no super mutants though cause i thought they were stupid. You should be able to start off in whatever state you want but make the area that you have to get to really far off like a total other part of the country. I know I’m just one person so this comment might not work but if you put a game on the market like this one you guys would be rich as hell plus everyone would love it like alot probably
Would not be right!
Why four singers, strong, and especially males?
There should be a female in the group, as usual.
it is likely that there are survivors of the old Left4Dead2
Just to see what happens to
It would be nice if the characters would be customizable!
Maybe the rescue of other survivors!
Like children, dogs, women and other men.
Being able to see the player who carries in her arms a child, or perhaps by the hand!
Maybe add animations of jumps (like a roof to another, or even falling)
Maybe to see the animation, when you save a friend who is captured by an infected Special!
and maybe see a survivor to become infected!
add movies in the center of maps!
or add the plot, or how the virus is unleashed
What?..
At least have 1 hot Babe in the Game, I have a huge crush on Zoey yo know..
well its better then the soccer moms one.
if thay go with that idea ill never buy a valve game again.
compared to that idea thiss ones amazing.
id buy it.
AND FUCKIN VALVE PARTNER WITH PS3 FOR THISS ONE
Get a xbox?
I think Midnight Riders is a terrible group. There has never been an Asian character in L4D whats up with that? At least put one Asian character in L4D3 or I will not play
They should not change the players!! I always play as Coach. And he needs to stay!! I will be very mad if they change the players! It’s just ridiculous!!
i wold like to see zoie and coch along with elis and elises frend kieth but definitly not these guys hell no
also i woldent mind bill from l4d 1
another idea is to make it that theres 4 new caricters and as you proform sertain actions or achivements/trophies you get the 8 originals to make a custom squd but more then anithing i want to see new infected more campagn choice mabie randomiesed events and paths new weapons and a more militariezed grenade choice added like a frag grenade or a white fospher grenade.
i woldent mind this snow idea because to me nothing is scarier then low visability rain cold snow frozen lakes ect
also i liked the last stand multiplay map in lfd1 i wold like to see more like that perhaps a football statium or a subway station
and on subway station i think it wold be good to dee a intierly underground level with low light creepy ecos and mabie some flickering lights showing up strange shadows
my freind and i being huge lfd nerds came up with a level where you play as mr-t eminem santa clues and a ninja (i know its stupid but it wold make for some funny comentary)
but definitly moore guns.
it wold be a nice change to play a campagn and not instantly get a smg or ak kinda graduly ease the weapon baddasness up from single week pistol to .44 revolver or eagle to smg to ar to shotgun to lmg
some weapons id like to see wold be m 93 rafica macine pistol .44 revolver aa 12 shotgun some kind of lmg a bolt action sniper (that kills specials more esaly while ristricting fire rate) and posably adouble barrel
lastly i wold like more then anything a game mode to just shoot heeps of zombies from relative safty with any weapons mabie heavy macineguns amd stuff like that
Original characters are fine – why fix something that ain’t broke??
the best places are alabama,kentucky,la,ac,ect… new weapons like spawn of shotgun,mp5,magnum revolver,shovel,golf stick and my favorite the new kind of infected the (injector-is a little creepy like jockey creature he injects a kind of venom on the survivores that brings blood los,but after he injected one he died the only way to cure the venom is to take the antivenom. and i think it were better to be the same characters as in l4d 1.
Well, I think that they should keep Ellis. I mean, how can you not like him? The personalities of all of the characters should be different.
And there HAS to be a smart-alec. They always make me smile…*cough*Nick*cough*
Rochelle..well…I think her and Coach had a thing. I would be down and so would he. I’d be almost dead and he would have JUST fallen down and I would have to wait for her.
I think that if you make them customized, then it would be like a GTA thing. And honestly, that would take forever and get boring. And if you have to travel across the country, that would take the LONGEST time. Kinda like Resident Evil.
I think that it was awesome that L4D1 was placed in PA, mostly because that’s my state. <3 But, I'd like to see it somewhere cold. And have ESKIMO ZOMBIES!! 😀
Children would be horrible to shoot though. But could you imagine the convos between the survivors when they do kill a kid? Hopefully they would be funny. Because that's what I also look forward to when I play Left 4 Dead. The conversations.
Ellis: OH MY GOD! IT'S KIDDIE LAND!!
Nick: He's like a five year old! A five year old with guns and a comprehensive knowledge of EVERY swear word in the English language.
Butttt….I do not agree with the Midnight Riders. Keep Ellis and Zoey. Keith should show up sometime and have like, a little movie of them flashing back on memories. That would be amazing. And well, other two characters, I dunno. But make one like Nick. (;
All in all, I will enjoy playing it. Thanks for letting me post my opinion. (:
I think that zoey and bill should be in it and then two of the midnight riders so that when they do dialog they connect with each other instead of telling another one to shut up *Elis* and you need to have a girl because four guys? Boring to Play and the dialog is probs going to be like “good band play last night right?” “yeah man” “let’s kill zombies man!”
Ok I’m just gonna put this out there…… I really dislike the idea of the MIDNIGHT RIDERS being the main characters I liked Ellis Nick Rochelle and Choach a lot more than the people from the first one ( just alot more personality) I think that it would be cool to be in a cold area maybye like NY or a not as cold but definitely as awesome D.C. Why not have one in the nations capital and see the destruction there. I mean how fun would it be to hold out in the white house. Some new infected would be cool. And I had an idea for a new grenade it would be like the boomer bile jar but filled with spitter acid it could melt zombies and people so watch out where you throw it. Thanks………….oh and a golf club would be bomb
Are you kidding me? The survivors from L4D2 have /no/ personality. They’re all just pretty stereotypical. And Rochelle, God is she annoying. The survivors from L4D were unique and unlike anything I myself could have come up with. You could actually /get attached/ to them. I myself hate the characters in L4D2.
i like lewis.he is always the first one to heal you.
Being a left 4 dead fan since the begging, I have to say i enjoyed left 4 dead 1 very much. But left 4 dead 2 was a huge let down. Why because it lacked the darkness and scary scenes and action i looked forward to from first one. It should definitively contain the same characters from the first one, this will attract all the left 4 dead lovers from the first and including most of the 2nd. I hope you guys overlook my idea, this would be a perfect ideal for left 4 dead 3.
u should have 2 sexy women on there so men get trapped in the game
u should make it 2 were there little kids it would be funny
L4D3 will need like a comedian so we can laugh at the death of zombies, also a foreign guy that can’t really talk, a woman so their not sexist, and a tough guy like Francis (L4D) or one of Midnight Riders.
There should be loads of campaigns that are all over the world.
The Midnight Riders characters are lame. Different characters for each campaign would be cool. Something different more awesome zombies. Scary kid zombies. Tighter spaces. Longer maps. Harder to find the safe houses. But all in all if there really is another l4d I’m all for it. ^_^
Give 1 cool asian character (japan guy with harajuku style maybe) or chinese sexy woman..
i would LOVE to see a left 4 dead with the members of the A-team. i mean think about it 4 badass vietnam veterans in a zombie apocolypse? epic. i think that’d be the most epic idea for left 4 dead.
I’d like to see Midnight Riders atleast in one campaign.
i dont think that the midnight riders should be in next l4d but it would be cool if there was a level where u get to meet them and i think there should be a least 12 survivers to pick from from left 4 dead 1,left 4 dead 2,and left 4 dead 3 and i also think there should be kid survivvers. so i hope you like my idead for left 4 dead 3
Well, if I remember correctly, the remaining Left 4 Dead survivors (Zoey, Louis, and Franis) all escaped to an island in the Keys… Right? So they’re safe, unless there’s zombies on the island they went to (And therefore, a new plot line and a reason to bring back the original survivors. Plus, maybe some other survivor or Keith is there and could take the place of Bill… Just ideas.)
But as for the Midnight Riders, I wouldn’t really like that… I mean, what I love is that both Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 1 had characters that either didn’t know each other, or didn’t know each other very well. That made the game all the more fun. (I love Ellis’ Keith stories and Nick’s constant bitching <3) Plus I love both Zoey and Rochelle! There's always gotta be a pretty girl for us girls, and even the guys. (Not that I don't love playing as Bill or Nick or Ellis…)
NO, just no. Honestly there is no cute guy in the midnight riders :/ and no girl. I think that an emo/smart/hot kid would be AWESOME! and then Keith as the dumbass/awesome one :3 and a kick-ass chick!
you are right,there needs to be different people.the midnight riders all look the same.you need different people.my daughter loves the game because her fav is being a woman.i think u need a white guy,black guy,white girl,black girl,and an asian.that way everyone can connect with a charcter.instead of a bunch of outlaw bikers.
Yeah! That’s how the game should TOTALLY go! 😀
I think people are losing sight of what made Left 4 Dead, all versions, a huge pandemic. It wasn’t “customization”, “Specialization” or “Driving vehicles”. (to which people who suggested this, will refer to another game.)In all respect, I would assume Valve’s intentions on continuing with the L4D series would be reaching out to a whole new branch of individuality and simplicity to your average “Underground” xbox user.
In all it’s originality, Left 4 Dead 3 (In my opinion) Should not have more or less DLC, DEFINITELY no less playable levels, No more or less playable characters at one point in time (To avoid overpopulation, and overpowering players, considering AI’s/COMs already have pinpoint, preprogrammed accuracy.)
In my experience, I had puchased L4D 2 before the original, and upon purchasing “The Sacrifice(No Mercy)” bundle was enough to convince me the previous game was worth my money. If you had any intention of making and entirely new set of characters, limit flashback levels to L4D 1/2 to 2 stages, particularely the “Most Played” (I.E. The Passing & Dead Center)
If you had plans to combine previous characters (Which may not leave much to the imagination) I’d recommend broadening the playable levels by 7~ (In comparison to L4D2)
In both cases I have faith in an appearance of Ellis’s well spoken of friend “Keith”.
As far as location goes, all L4D’s appear to take place in the USA, In which case an ocean side getaway or an escape across the boarder sounds plausible, legitimate, and exciting all on it’s own.
In terms of broading achievement possibilities, keeping all original “Modes” is a smart choice, and perhaps even adding a “Time Attack” or “Time Attack VS” Styled mode doesn’t sound farfetched.
Zombies — Endless. People who say child zombies are a good idea, may be on the right track, IF we are talking about specials. I don’t particularely enjoy the idea of shooting children in the face. Undead or otherwise. Now say this new “Screamer” Character was not a malicious Special Infected. But perhaps a child that lost it’s mother, and is enraged at the sight of survivor flashlights. – Awesome.
One final suggestion. The idea of multiple/alternate/ or hidden ending. In which you gain something worth your efforts (I.E. Death Machine gun. Or the idea of a lost survivor you must save [Who does NOT join your team mid-game, but runs off and maybe makes an appearance in the final chapter of the episode when one or more team mates becomes deceased])
These are my ideas. I tried to leave them open for inspirational changes.
Hope this helped ~~ Nashira.
On a side note. The Midnight Riders should stay as inconspicuous and as helpful as they did in L4D 2 “Dark Carnival”
But leave suspicious artifacts in the game that might suggest our characters may be following in their (Surviving) footsteps ( A shirt, A pair of OX’s drum sticks, Or a signed guitar by Dusty )
P.S. Forgot to include a tidbit about melee weapons. No more. No less. But spice it up. I haven’t met a soul today who’s used the nightstick, But keep a weapon in it’s place to symbolize the uselessness of some items, Not all melee weapons should be overly powerful, like the golfclub. And the chainsaw — It’s a keeper. It boarders Melee and Automatic weapon. And it’s a category all on it’s own.
One of the meele weapons should be something ironic and humorous. Like beating a zombie over the head with an xbox.
how did the midnight riders do to help us.i cant remember what they did.also everyone keeps talking about keith in these posts.i dont even know who he is.
Along sides with the chain saw i so agree but ti think that with all the gas lying around you shouldbe able to pick them up and put the gas into the chain saw…
the only issue i think the game has is movement, and the “FEAR” factor just isn’t there.
I had an idea for the secondary wepeon that you could hold 2 magnums instead of just 1 and to an even stronger pistol with less bullets more damage and more rare well i hope you like my idea
i think l4d3 should take a globle twist and do a search across europe or the world! i mean start at lax airport then bomb over to brazil like in mw where they live in the shanty town then go to london,paris,madrid and rome.the maps are endless and they can use real street maps of locations for even better realisation,also some new infected,DIFFRENT COUNTRIES HAVE DIFFRENT INFECTED like a crying child that can move like the hunter style lol and more ellis story time please maybe bring in keith or a 2 man 2 women operation might appeal to a wider game base,all in all i cant wait for l4d3**RISE OF THE GLOBAL INFECTED,……MWAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
No it should be Zoey Ellis Rochelle(even though we all hate her) and Francis, Just for some love talk plus the smart ass comments between them would make for some great game play…. although they need a casino stage with some comments about how Nick woulda loved this….
I really think there should be a few things. And then some things that there shouldn’t be.
Should be:
-New characters, or at least 2 groups with different story lines that eventually meet in the middle then keep going their different ways.
-Hand to Hand killing, such as snapping the next or team kills where 2 people can rip the limbs off the zombie. Obviously getting attacked by a large group would make it close to impossible, which is why it shouldn’t be abused.
-Character creation. (Set characters, but are able to change outfits and hair styles)
Shouldn’t be:
-One group with one story line of separate stages. Gets boring to play over and over.
-Map editor, something of which would be like what Unreal Tournament had. (I love UT2K4)
-NONE OF THE SAME WEAPONS. This is obvious I know, but some good weapons would be a FAMAS, TPG, Flash grenades (to have a chance to run through large hordes), Paintball gun (for fun,low damage but can use to blind zombies), and maybe something like a uhhh KSG?
Possibles:
-Levels that use vehicles
-Single player mode that saves survivors
-Justin Bieber being a zombie boss?
fuck justin bieber needs to be a zombie so we all KICK HIS ASS, we do need a casino level,and add the screamer it’ll be more of a challenge,and out of all of it we NEED some sias and probaly some brass knuckles, HOOAH!!!
no I think in l4d3 they should focus on the l4d2 charcaers simply because the l4d1 survivors are safe on an island and bill is dead so they is basiclly no more story left where as the l4d2 guys are in danger because they carriers and the milerty kill carriers so that will be intresting also keith proberly isnt real just a figment of ellis’ imangination thanks 4 my opinion 🙂
los angeles or california entirely..cuztomizable characters..maybe hawaii is the save haven survivors must get to…take over hawaii, wipe out the indiginous, and/or in l4d4 wipe out all zombies off of the earth with military planes like the ac130 and drones, maybe smarter zombies, accescible vehicles would be nice, the possibilities are endless, but it would be great to have all survivors fight side by side to take back the earth from zombie infestation..or something cool like that.
oh and imagine 8 on 8 versus and scavenger battles……
All i think is that one character should be a CEDA scientist who could shed some light on the infection throughout to the other characters
Having Ellis’s friend, Keith, would be totally nifty 😀
“This one time, me and my buddy, Ellis…”
I think that you guys should add the boomer because I LOVE the Left for Dead games and I’ve played them so many times that I need a little difficulty, which I think would go for a lot of people. It’s a good character for the game too, it’s kinda like the which’s husband. [:
I meant to say that I think you guys should add the screamer!
Morgan,you say you need a little difficulty in a left 4 dead game?
Can i suggest playing left 4 dead 2 on expert,alone with the bots.
Good luck 🙂
i think kieth should be in left 4 dead 3 ;D
1. Take place somewhere in the Midwest like Detroit or Chicago and try to get from there to some military base where they meet up with the survivors from the other games (Bill died though in #1 I heard so not him) and maybe even reunion between Keith and Ellis (Ellis: Keith. Remember that time when we were on top of a burnin building and had to fight yer way down like 5 floors of zombies and- Keith: We never did any-a that shit ya mentioned just now, buddy!)Add few more guns that weren’t in the first two games (like the AA-12, Glock 18, a SAWED-OFF semi-auto Shotgun would be cool for when your down and need to be revived, and maybe even a TEC-9 cause it probably needs some more time in games instead of movies). Just some suggestions.
A scientist,a Picture taker, a CEDA agent,And a originally L4D1 character (Zoey please?)
do non’t have the midnaht raders as the savavors have Ellis jake smitty dusstey
I think keith aka ellis’s friend should be in the new one after all ellis was a funny but yet hard core character so im sure keith would be just as crazy. I have left 4 dead 1 and 2 to xbox and still play both of them constantly they never get old to me. also you should have all the old weapons as well as alot of new and intresting ones. the chain saw was a great addition seeing that it could kill the witch easy. one last thing you should have at least one total bad ass character like woody haralson from zombie land or like the character ash from army of darkness movie who kills zombies not just to survive but also because he has a personal vendetta against them. Other then that keep up the gore, blood, and action/ good work love the series and great job on all the left 4 dead’s and please please please make the new one available to xbox as well thanks guys for the lft 4 dead series love them 🙂
Have the survivors (midnight riders) fight their way out of Detroit ROCK CITY. Lots of old buildings, a river, int’l border to canada with bridge & tunnel access, factories, BALLPARKS/STADIUMS, and plenty of guns. I would like to see them fight their way out of a ballpark and a sky-scraper.
Idc what you do just bring back Zoey and have Keith (: oh and bring back the screamer these games are awesome they should be a challenge! The CEDA agent is a really good idea too[:
Instead of making a game based around The Midnight Riders I think they should just add a DLC on Left 4 Dead 2 instead. For the third game I really think they should add Keith.
I think Keith should be an absolute definite character in 3 but instead of making him a mirror version of Ellis his stories should go along the lines of how he has this dumbass friend that always keeps getting him hurt or into trouble, that friend being Ellis. I think a foreigner of some sort should also be a part of the group either a German Banker or a Japanese tourist. Maybe a Biker chick who is Literally the Female equivalent to Francis and maybe a Bus driver or police officer, who subsequently Arrested the said female biker before the outbreak began for stealing from the German banker while the Japanese tourist took photos, Make the Asian an otaku that was going to comic con.
It should be Michael myers,Freddy Krueger,Jason,and Leatherface.
That would actually be kind of cool…in a total nerd perspective, just so happens, I’m a bit of a nerd. Only set back, it would all be melee based combat. The only ranged weapon any those guys ever used was when Jason Killed a cop with a throwing knife.
Using the Midnight Riders is a dumb idea. First of all, L4D and L4D2 characters had no connection to each other, so why would there be a connection now? The zombie apocalypse would be a big deal. Individual survivors wouldn’t be the only ones slaying zombies. I think that at least two of the characters should be related, that way when they die in the game, it will make a bigger impact.
I’m not so sure the make up of the playable characters is all that important in a game such as this. I mean regardless of whether it’s Francis, Rochelle, or four band mates on the road. Either way you are left with character options, guns, and loads of zombie splattering fun. As for play modes are concerned, the ideas and options are endless. And I definately diggin’ the screamer idea.
New guns that i hope will be in Bretta-M9 Glock M1911 and Magnum (western style) Some thing semi auto like a M4 a Browning a M4A1 and NEW ATTACHMENTS create a charter create a special infected and some new zombies like the screamer a new tank like zombie and new child and baby zombies Chatcters I am really hoping they feature Kieth Zoey please and 2 other and there could be a campaign where all the l4d chatcters meet
I think Ellis should be in L4D3 at some point cuz he’s amazing 🙂 and I think there should be more girls in this one.
keith would be great, i dont like the whole midnight riders idea, maybe for a SHORT campaign.anyways adding new special infected is a great idea, obviously.I just would not like having special infected with un-understandable abilities. it would be awesome if the L4D3 took place in CALIFORNIA ehhh think about it…….GANGSTA ZOMBIES!!!!!!!!
You Should Make A Feamale With blond hair as a charator
I think it should be possible to create your own character
That’s really great idea with those characters.. but maybe we miss a girl character.. How about when they want to escape, one of them dead? and you can change the dead man with a girl? better if they found the girl in the street when they run away.. LOL

Josh Balwin
– He had it all… A beautiful home, a trophy wife, the best things money could buy, smart children, and of course his awesome acting career. His whole outlook on the apocolypse is anger! Since there’s no bringing his old life back, he’s looking for revenge.(black hair, white[ a little tan], “6’0”, medium weight, khaki pants[blood stained and stained with mud if any levels are muddy], church shoes)
Jalen Ericson
– He was the best man to know. He was the best player on the team. Now he’s looking for a new opponent… Boy does he have one. His outlook is energetic. He is always happy to have the honor of killing his new undead opponents.(brown hair, Tan, “6’6”, muscular, his football jersey #71[green and yellow], blue jeans, green and yellow ball shoes)
Stephanie Brown
-She was the most beautiful model in America. She used her money only on things she needed. She is really sweet unlike all the other models in Hollywood. Her outlook is sorrow for all the infected because she misses her old life and she got warning but they didn’t.(red hair [dyed], white, “5’7”, skinny, black shirt with the logo of the band Black Veil Brides on it, skinny jeans[purple], converse[red and black])
Brian Miller
– He was already pretty stressed about his regular job. He was successful but he had no wife, no children, and no family left. But now hes got to fight just to live. His whole outlook is complaining. He is sick of all the stress of life.(gray hair on the sides of his head bald on top, black pants and orange shirt, black tennis shoes, “6’2”, in between medium weight and fat)
Please DO NOT use the Midnight Riders as the survivors, not everyone likes their music or the way they look. In the first Left 4 Dead, it started out with 4 sophisticated survivors in an urban area, giving the game an excitement of that “Resident Evil” scene.
The background of the second game was disappointing. Not only does the country scene seems primitive, the unattractive-looking survivors with their hillbilly accent is just plain annoying. Worst of all, the music is totally out-of-whack unbearable… that includes the Midnight Riders’ song!
If the Left 4 Dead 3 is going to star with four ugly messy hobos, then it can certainly count me out!
Ill be happy with whatever you put out as I LOVE L4D! However, as a female gamer, it has been nice to have female characters in one and two. You would be surprised how many girls play that love the female characters! It would be nice if you would keep rolling with survivors with different backgrounds, races, and sexes. Ether way, thanks for making a 3rd game, and good job!
I agree with barber bob.
There should be a Japanese character that is an otaku.
who traveled to go to an anime convention XD
He should sorta be the Japanese equivalent to Ellis always talking about anime or manga XD
Like “This one time, I watched this anime all about zombies. it was wicked.”
or “You guys need to study up on your manga history. there are so many stories out there that could help us in a time like this!”
or “This would make a great anime!” I think that would be pretty cool XD
Ha ha ha!!
YES, JUST YES. an Otaku character and cosplay zombies! 😀 there for combining my favorite things into one! This should take place in Seattle so one level could be them fighting cosplay zombies in Sakura-con! Oh yeah, AND NO MIDNIGHT RIDERS!!!!!!!!
can we please have 2 magnums in L4D3? after all, we do have two hands and with these “badass” characters, you would think they could handle the fire power with just one hand.
also, the boomer bile, molotovs and pipe bombs…you could try using a bottle of spit from the spitter and any zombies that step into it become paralyzed, if it lands directly on a zombie it would disolve them into nothing, as it would be an acid spit.
How many people do you know that can accuratly shoot 2 at a time? How about something cool like modified weapons? Can we get double fully auto glocks with extended clips?
I think the Left 4 dead 2 has dual pistol. so why not having dual revolver?
does anybody know why it did not come out
I think you should make a zombie called a ‘ mirror ‘ that can clone into a survivor and use their weapons, it will then have to be up to the rest of them to find out it’s you if there’s two of them! What do ya think? 🙂
thats an awesome idea that sounds fresh!!
Mirror zomies? That’s just retarded, the zombies are infected dead how in the world do you purpose the morph into the human characters of the game? Zombies=dead people. I give the idead , and yes midnight riders would be fuckin sweet! Can one of them have a Harley with apehangers please? Lmao
Or create your own character????
yeah i agree on the create you own person with a voice settin but the line already put in that sounds agreable right!!!
dont add the midnight riders i dont think it is a good idea you should just mix it up like put a chinese person, hispanic girl, white guy, and a black guy just to get a different mix of people. i cant wait to see what you guys come up with.
defenetly what tom nolan said
I love all the left 4 dead’s’ but I think there should be more of a challenge and hiding spots. I mean like….If your going to have so many tanks/chargers I personally would need them.
the only way i would like the midnight riders is if they made it a dlc sorta like the passing you can play as them and play through how they escaped the apacolypse but not as full time characters i do like the ideas as keith though and how he talks about a friend (ellis) getting him into trouble thats awesome i just wished they had maybe a lil cutscene at the finale or something to explain more stuff like show what they do after they survive or how the special infected became and such or have one of the characters explain it somehow but either way i love l4d 1n2
I HAVEN’T READ ANY OF THE COMMENTS, IT WOULD BE COOL TO PLAY AS THE MIDNIGHT RIDERS BUT I’VE BEEN WANTING YOU GUYS TO MAKE IT TO WHERE YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE YOUR OWN CHARACTERS TO LOOK LIKE YOU.
I’M TIRED OF BEING BLACK OR WHITE. MAKE A YELLOW CHICK PLEASE. THANKS.
I love playing left 4 dead but this story about the midnight riders kinda bum me out. I really think something like huge city(Detriot,New York or L.A.) or maybe overseas(Egland,France,Afracia,Russia,Japan, Etc) or southern countries like brazil. Now that sounds sweet. NO MIDNIGHT RIDERS!!! sounds boaring
We need Keith, Ellis’ friend. Aw god, that would be awesome!
Valve might make a left 4 dead 3 but you know what thay say Valve cant count to 3 just saying… sorry about that
Playing as the midnight riders is a f’n awsome idea! Also I would be f’n dope if they had l4d3 in Cali and the characters could be gangbangers Leroy and pepe! But can we get new weapons??? Or even be able to modify weapons?
what if the four from the first game had found other survivors and you get to design and create your survivor so basically the four give you and whoever joins in the campaign missions
ok ok yeah the midnight riders do sound cool but what about ellis friend keith or lerroy and they meet up with ellis and the l4d2 charcters start to split ellis wanted to find keith coach wanted to get ro safe nick is wanting to be alone and ro wanted to find ceda
Midnight Riders would be great! With some new weapons and than travelig all through the land, Hollywood, LA, Vegas, New York! Shooting other pussie stars like this Hip-Hop Gangsters, maybe Lady Gaga as a witch?, “Puff” Daddy Boomer?, Justin Bieber and Michael Jackson Zombie to kill would be great too! And a special appearence of Alice Cooper, maybe Rob Zombie, Lordi or GWAR som could help the Riders…
YEAH!
I say the whole create a character idea is great. Adding a screamer sounds awesome we could use a new zombie. Also i think for new guns mabye sticking to some of the old ones is good but also replacing weapons for a flamethrower. and also just because i wanna throw it out there, if you pre-order L4D3 you get a in game “lightsaber” good for killing tanks for like a cheevo what ya think 😀
Adding a rubber chicken like the frying pan as a gag weapon would be kinda funny. Also pool cue or some nun-chucks. I like the idea of a revolver and a sawed off shot gun. Definitely add the screamer, but also and new kind of tank and maybe a spider like creature would be a cool challenge. I think that a haunted mansion would be a cool place to play and even an abandoned zoo. I hope these could be some possibilities cuz I would like to see some of this stuff come to life. As for main characters I don’t really mind who gets added just not some annoying one. Final point add a way to swap items and weapons.
I forgot to add a sledge hammer would be really cool and maybe lead pipe. Plus that creature that is all wrapped up in restraints would be cool if it had these nasty teeth or the jacket comes off and it has like whip arms? Just a few more thoughts.
I like those ideas about the zoo and the swapping items/weapons
i think you should be able to make your own survivor that would be awesome
unless you can have more than on group of survivors to play with, i dont think that they should be in the game.
in l4d3 there needs to be: ellis’s friend keith, a CEDA scientist (probably female), a japanese person (maybe a game designer?), and then you can create your own character also would be cool if there was a zombie who somehow was smart enough after the infection to still use a gun, but it’s still not smart enough to continously fire it. new mutations/regular game modes could be versus infection (if u die u become infected until u r revived), and ammopocalypse(pistols and melees only). for new items: spitter spit jar and chocolate bar(heals a little health).maybe a flamethrower for a new weapon,and a hockey stick melee.
Should Come to PS3. I buy if it comes
The female character could be a midnight riders groupie, and it would be funny if they were all trying to impress her and out do each other during the game. Also you could set it in a huge cruise ship where people are getting infected around you and there is no way off until you reach your destination. You would have to survive the journey.
I think it’s awesome but I am still waiting for Francis and Zoey to come back……
dont forget louis:)
I think their should be a native guy or girl, It would be cool and their haven’t been any natives in the game at all. I prefer a native girl though! 😛
I think that you should do it in a global perspective, but not with one group of survivors but instead you have to pick from like classes and and skill types and you get a character based on your choices. Also you should same kind of weapon crafting system where you can combine melee and ranged weapons or melee and special items you pick up like boomer bile.
The Survivors:
Carlos- A young male, 23, Latino gang member form L.A. who is in actually really kind and helpful to other members of the group taken that he was move to a New York penitentiary for the murder of five enemy gang members. Later, he states that the reason for his actions is because they were responsible for the murder of his little brother. He is the “leader” of the group.
Remy- An African American male ,26, chef from New Orleans with a thick Cajun accent. Remy is very cunning but has an extreme phobia of germs. Remy was sent to a culinary completion in New York to launch his culinary career. Due to an “outbreak” of an unknown disease the competition was postponed. During this time Remy work as a chef in a small unknown Italian restaurant called The Sauce.
Cindy- An Asian college professor ,25, with military training and a tough personality. Little to peoples’ knowledge Cindy severed in the military. She is very intelligent and teaches Psychology courses at the Columbia University. She has a very “sexy librarian” look to her with the agility and skill to match.
Dale- An Caucasian male, 28, with a thick New York accent and a bad attitude with a business suit to match. He constantly insults Cindy but surprisingly likes Carlos. A lot of times he looks at the negative but ironically becomes optimistic at the greatest of challenges (another dying or their death or if another falls) and later he reveals that his pregnant wife was killed in a car accident 2 years ago by a drunk driver. This makes Cindy and his attachment to each other grow.
PLEASE PUT AT LEAST ONE OF THESE CHARACTERS IN THE GAME! PLEASE!
Dale is also CEO of a cellphone company called C.E.L.L.
“Imagine in the next L4D game you start off as the Midnight Riders and your objective is to not only survive, but to make it to the next concert.”
I’m not going to lie, that sounds stupid as hell. It’s one thing to need to attend the Midnight Riders concert in 2 because it’s the easiest way to signal the chopper. Trying to stick to a damn tour schedule during the zombie apocalypse would destroy any credibility this game series has. It takes the game into a goofy realm that we haven’t had to endure yet in this series. If that’s the plot to 3, I wouldn’t play it. The Midnight Riders weren’t even that fascinating, it was just a blip on the radar. Why don’t you focus on creating new, interesting scenarios (like adding the fueling requirement to the game in 2) rather than campy meme fodder? Your target audience isn’t exclusively 14 year old boys.
I’d like to see some solo campaigns (DLC?) where we would meet the four main characters before they grouped up. A backstory telling how they arrived at the time and place where the 1st campaign would start. 15-20 mins. of solo mayhem for each character. As for new weapons…a crossbow/hunting bow, flamethrower and a 1 shot rocket launcher that can take down a tank, but kill team mates if they’re too close. And a run and gun horseback escape through a mountain valley. Oh, and MORE GUNS!!
Team up the old three together with the lf2 four making it 7, Bring bill back as a zombie you kill bill and loot his bod. Allow users to transfer ammo and stuff. make the maps universal this time. Map 1 they leave america for england the finale they parachute out of a plane one breaks his leg in the fall and the others have to help him through the campaign. map 2 in England the broken leg is now healed, but you have to load up with food which also gives you health, finale is a double decker bus stopping at dover, map 3 France could be a vineyard (smiles) we all get drunk and cant shoot heheheh and so on. give us more variety. and more things to experience like the missed opportunity on lfd2 why couldnt we ride on those swans through the tunnels. I got the no electricity thing but it could have had a generator that we put on to get out or something. Be more imaginative. Make lfd3 a completly new experience keeping what we love about it but giving us more to experience. Like riding motorcycles or flying helicopters because ellis has a license to fly. Driving vehicles. Jumping from a plane with parachute. Swimming. Collecting food. Changing clothes. Someone said earlier crossbows …. a great idea the silent kill doesnt alert the zombs. Blast we could even have jet packs oooooh jet packs. ok maybe thats a bit far but it would be fun. So come on expand your thoughts and maybe we can give them ideas
