Concerned about the lack of diversity in this game
Greetings, I am an advocate for diversity and equality. It has come to my attention that nearly all common infected in L4D2 are of a single race, and this is unacceptable. As a proud black African American myself, I would like to see more Africans, Middle Easterns, and Indians in this game

This community has a fine reputation for having some of the most creative and talented modders. I hope you all agree with me that this is an issue worth the time and effort in modding, as I (and many others) would appreciate it immensely if the common infected was comprised of a diversity of races.

I would like to request a mod to do exactly this, and I am willing to pay a sum of Dogecoins to whomever can produce such a mod.

Until then, farewall. May our framerates be high and our temperatures low.

Long live GabeN

I have never understood people who look at game characters as a representation of themselves. I play every character as the game gives them to me and I could not care less about what the rest of the team is as long at it's not bronies, anime, dinos etc.

WHY does this even matter to you ? We need a black spitter too or a hispanic tank.

I european/white myself. Should I complain that L4D2 only has one white person - Nick (Ellis does not count as white - he's hillbilly/redneck).

And added diversity for CI ... no. You would get accused os racism based on what you shoot.

yea there's no asian,no indians,no german , no russians , no arabs etcetc infect or human in game now that's rasict!

this game gonna get sue by 72 diffrent countrys as there's none of their race in this game as toons !

::Sarcasm::

now i would like to see how many game out there gonna get sue for without certain race in their game....

IMO if you that not happy about not having black in the game...make your own game and put all the blacks in your game?

(L4D2 have 2 black as human FYI so maybe you should think about zipping your mouth when other country players didn't even bit_ch about not having their race in game yet)

vandidant : as a proud African American , i would like superman to be black.<---this is pretty much what you trying to say in L4D2 version.(now don't say i give you an idea to go sue DC)

being proud of your race is fine and all but sometime need to have some IQ or use it (if you have any) before blahblah stuff, otherwise instead of trying to boasting your race it will have a complete opposite effect like now.

Michel Jackson is black when he is still young btw

I have reason to believe, the hunter is mexican. Don't ask why. Just got that feeling from how he looks. I had people agree with me.

Also, I think OP is racist. You want other races to be sick and dying? Maybe white people are the only ones dumb enough to ignore that a virus is going around. So they stayed.

As a proud white american, I say, stop being racist, and let my people sacrifice themselves to save other countries.

There are no minorities because they got the f_ck out before it was too late.

o.o gosh racist much. You don't like white people? only advocate for the other races? well i dont want to see dead of any race so i make them all starwars storm troopers (which are white in color). I hope people will make a mod for black, asian, hispanic and fake tanned stormstroopers, so that I do not feel so race oriantated on what infected to kill today.

I LOL'd at this thread and all your guys' comments on it. It's 3 AM here and I'm tired as fu_ck.

Anywho, I am Asian and I don't see the need to have different kinds of races in the common infected. Rochelle is black, Louis is black, Coach is black.. What other black people you wanna see?

... Next thing you know, someone is gonna make a thread about putting children in the game which would go against ESRB.. Although, NMRiH got away with it.. XD

I agree with the OP; I would like an equal opportunity to shoot all races of zombie.
Zombies in burkas, turbans, kilts, suits of armor etc.
Pochy Nov 9, 2014 @ 9:45am 
yea then after if they really put diffrent race of infect in game OP or other race gonna bit_ch
about "how come there's more "insertyourownraceshere" as infect? THAT's RACIST!"

::and due to this event,1month after world war III start::

♥♥♥♥ just realize i just reveal a prophecy to the world!going to start up a religion similar to flying spagetti monster...

The only diversity needed in this game would be amongst the survivors, which Valve has already done basically. It would not help the game, but actually hurt it if they "diversify" the common infected. It would just create some silly negative controversy where certain people will have a problem seeing Nick, Ellis, Bill, and Francis shooting/hitting/delimbing/bludgeoning those different races OP mentioned. Resident Evil 5 had a similar problem with their trailer if I recall.

yea ;3 it's totally fine to kill the white zombies, but man anyone else and there would be controversy. it's prob because most of the whites i have met never gave a f--- about race and just played the game. (same with other races of course) >more of a true joke lol so don't take it too seriously peeps<

Wasn't L4D2 going to have some black zombies originally?
