Soo I just played the Left 4 Dead 2 demo that went public today.

As much as I was against this game when I first heard the news that a new one was being released. I am way more FOR it now. Absolutely AWESOME game with a lot more depth then L4D. A heck of a lot creepier special infected too.

What do those of you that have played the demo think so far?

tplyons · #2 11-03-2009, 05:20 PM

Never played the first one but I might check out the demo anyway.

Just went through the demo on expert, this game is way too easy. I am glad they brought in alot of stuff that we asked them to patch into L4D. I will probably buy it. I have you added on steam don't I, gold member? We should play.

It also seems like there are alot more common infected standing around, but alot less in the hordes.

Even though I was somewhat against L4D2 when it was announced (it was announced and in all likelihood, will be released within a year of the first iteration) I like it

I do agree that it seems to have a bit more depth to it that its predecessor lacked. Details are more vibrant, weapons are more plentiful, and the overall feel of the game feels grander. I'm really looking forward to the retail launch. I had the game pre-ordered for about a month now

As far as the difficulty... I wouldn't say expert mode is too easy... but I had more difficulty avoiding friendly-fire instead of taking down infected. What's worse is when teammates run in front of you when you're shooting at a mob -_-

Demo came out days ago. Except for the fact that Valve kept pushing it back.

I preordered a 4 pack for friends and myself a week or two. We love L4D. its what the GF and I play together. We're all super excited for L4D2.

I thought it was alright. I definitely won`t buy it unless goes on discount for at least $30 on Steam though.

makanudo · #8 11-04-2009, 12:30 AM

Well it is definitely worth 60 bucks for those no party-sucky weekends..
Log into xbox live find 3 strangers/friends, have some fun killing zombies and listening to other people screaming because something jumped out of nowhere lol

I dunno maybe I am playign a different game but it plays feels and looks exactly like the first one to me... a game that was awesoem at first and then got rediculously boring.

not worth the money IMO.

I'd seen a patch that made Zoey naked.What I wonder is if that's available as an option for LFD2?

There's enough sausage around while playing the game with my friends already,some spice would be nice.

I never understood why anyone was against the second game coming out.

The only reason I was against it is because valve does this quite a bit; Release a sequal, claim that they will keep updating and supporting the first one and then drop the updates within a year or two. I like L4D AND L4D2, they both have different feels, gameplay experience varies quite a bit IMO between the two, so I'd like to keep playing both.

I've got to say... after playing Call of Duty: World at War, zombies here are nothing. The gameplay is subpar, the graphics are okay at best, and the storyline is too typical.

I'll stick to my Nazi zombies.

Yeah, I own both and while I really do enjoy L4D, I guess it's just not as dark an overall experience as having wave after wave of increasingly fast, numerous, and resilient zombies that, despite your skills and weaponry, will inevitably overrun and kill you.

Because it`s essentially the exact same game. They literally could of released the original(I`m talking about the PC version through Valve) and just added updates which included new maps(new stories essentially), new weapons, new zombies, etc... There was no need for a second game which plays and looks exactly like the first with the only difference being these basic updates which could of been done via valve. The only real difference I`ve even noticed between the two games is how the zombies blow apart. Past that, it`s the same game.

Are you getting MW2?

Of course... I just started playing COD4 again to get ready. I'm gonna unlock Prestige mode in 4 before I play MW2... only a few days left to do it...

The only reason I never got Prestige was W@W came out, and I got hooked on that instead.

There are way more differences. Graphics, textures and models all have way more detail. 16 new weapons, plus the original 4. Campaigns are longer and more in depth, new special infected, new "uncommon" infected, melee weapons, and a real storyline.

Jimmy Bones · #19 11-04-2009, 08:35 PM

Eh, it felt a little smoother, and the added special infected were cool, but frankly, that and the melee weapons all coulda been patches. :|
