It says movies. That's plural, which means more than one. With the word "more" it - arguably - gets even more than 2.

Characters
It says: more characters
We got: not even one
You suggest: nothing

And I'm afraid "nothing" is what we'll see in future.

Weapons
It says: more weapons
We got: not even one
You suggest: "Maybe 1-2"

It says weapons. That's plural, which means more than one. With the word "more" it - arguably - gets even more than 2.

Unlockables
It says: unlockables
We got: not even... - wait was there anything "unlockable" in the first place?
You suggest: nothing, again

Achievements
It says: achievements
We got: Yay, we got some! Even more than 2! The MOST important part of the game got updated, woohoo.

We got a new mode of course, and this is good. But I think most gamers want to have more content for the existing modes now - namely Campaign and Versus - rather than another mode.

So what's my point here? Valve promised all these things I have quoted, yet didn't fulfill any of them except for the achievements. Unless I get what was promised I will regard Valve the same as EA, Bethesda, Ubisoft etc., thus avoiding their products on release and get them a year later for not more than 10€.

As a side-note: Valve releasing a sequel does not "fulfill" what they said, since it was clealy said that Left 4 Dead would get those updates, and not a sequel or the L4D-Franchise for that matter.

Thanks
