Since I can't move posts, I'll have to quote it and delete the original for being in the wrong place.

I think (and worry for I hope it is not the case) that people are jumping the gun with this new dlc. It never says anything about playing the old characters. In fact the name states its a mere passing. Everywhere I've seen it specifically says you will play as the new characters and meet up with the old. It also states there will be new multiplayer content including new maps for all the existing multiplayer map for all the existing multiplayer modes. Everyone seems to jump at the idea that new content implies new modes including all eight players. I don't know. If it was going to be that way why has the wording been so specific to make it imply as such but never exactly stating it. I think its just to get everyone hyped up about it and it worked. It will probably just be a nod at the original characters. After all, the new characters arrive at dark carnival shortly after and never even mention the originals. Instead say things to the effect of at least it (the car) got us out of that mall. (like it just happened). If the two groups met up why would they split up anyway (unless valve spews some last minute crap as to why they seperate). I think it much more likely they meet up for a brief time (maybe they see each other in a safe house or something) and go their sepersate ways. People are gonna be wondering what the originals are doing during the rest of l4d2 and i think its possibly a l4d3. (Coming fall 2010 lol, get ready for more boycott whiny shit)
