This may be the first instance of a fanbase being angered over the announcement of a sequel, but Left 4 Dead followers revolvted against developer Valve when a follow-up was announced at E3.

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, Valve loves their community. The company released the neccesary tools that fans of multi-player FPS Left 4 Dead can create their own… well, everything.
