Valve bought Turtle Rock Studios a few months ago...and Valve was always helping them with L4D anyway. Also, Turtle Rock made the CS:S bot, which is among the best for effective multiplayer bots. Moving from that to an advanced algorithmic AI Director in Left 4 Dead that controls the waves of zombies is pretty much the next step. |
I know that. But the game is still mainly done by Turtle Rock Studios. I doubt that the people who worked on HL2, Ep1/2 helped too much with Left 4 Dead outside of maybe technical support (especially since Ep2 just shipped last November). Let's give credit where it's due, instead of blindly claiming Valve is the king of FPS development.
I mean, when Mass Effect 2 comes out, and is awesome, are people going to praise EA just because EA bought Bioware?
