It seems like all their decisions for this game have more to do with pissing consumers off than actual business decisions. Maybe they\'re taking advantage of the hype (the game is going to sell like crazy no matter what), so theyre making the game as cheap as humanly possible.
what modes won\'t have party chat? and did they explain their reasoning?
From what i\'ve read its any mode where its ranked. So basically the main mode that everyone plays to level up and unlock their guns. The reasoning was to prevent cheating. Dead team members relaying information to alive ones. If theres a clan out there who really really wants to cheat then there gonna use Skype/yahoo/ or a telephone... thats what annoys me, with true cheaters, its not going to change anything.
and I think your exactly right. They are taking advantage of the hype and they know people will buy it no matter what. A week later, Left 4 Dead 2 is going to come out. I don\'t care what anyone says, L4d2 is nothing more than a DLC pack for L4D1 priced as a full game. So yeah, developers are learning how hard they can fuck gamers just by racking up the hype. As of now pre-orders for L4D2 are four times higher than the first game. First game is only 1 year old and didn\'t even have everything that made the game great until maybe 4-6 months into its release.
