L4D2 have just come out, anyone out there still havent grab your copy.
Still thinking that L4D2 should have been a DLC for L4D?
Here is ToleranceZero giving you my top 5 reason that L4d2 is not a expansion and you SHOULD buy it!
(I grabbed my copy as soon as it came out, same as l4d)
Number 5:
Its bigger then the first game

First of all, l4d2 delievered a lot of content that wasnt present in the first game, which include the new Scavenge Mode and Realism Mode. Left 4 Dead 2 has five campaigns to match Left 4 Dead 1's original four.The fact this game is larger than the original says "sequel" more than "expansion" to me.
Number 4:
All that new content doesn't come easy

An expansion pack uses the original game and simply dumps new content into it. Left 4 Dead 2's base game is all-new content. New levels, new characters, new voices, new music, new weapons, new enemies.
Sure, Left 4 Dead 2 expands upon the idea of Left 4 Dead 1, but that's what all sequels do.
Not convinced yet? Lets go on, shall we?
Number 3:
Most sequels re-use engines and assets

Loads of sequels re-use assets and music from their predecessors. Even when L4D2 does re-use assets, it changes them to keep things feeling fresh. The Smoker, Boomer, Hunter, Witch and Tank may be the same as they were before, but they've been re-skinned and altered so that they're unique to the new game. Look at the pictures above, enough said.
Number 2:
It feels different
Left 4 Dead 1 introduced us to a concept. Left 4 Dead 2 took that concept and thrust it in all sorts of different directions, experimenting with the format and giving us brand new ways to interact with a familiar premise. That's pretty much what sequels are supposed to do. With so many "boss" type zombie such as the charger, it changes the way you play by quite a bit. The new grenade type, boomer bile, and the the melee weapons change the flow of the game quite a bit too.
Last but not Least
