BF2S Forums [Left 4 Dead 2] Game Discussion

I personally think that the first game was better than this one (or at least more enjoyable). I know I enjoy playing L4D far more than L4D2

Spoiler (highlight to read):
Although the bridge finale on Parish is probably the most fun campaign stage across the two games.

Lulz. This died like a survivor falling from the window. Haven't been playing this since our little lan party in january. Got completely fed up tbh..

L4D2 is great but I can't be fucked getting a game going which is what you spend about 50% of the time doing in this game.

3 new maps
new weapons!
M60 ftw!
the Elin special
and Zoe is back!
hmm hmm hmmmmmmm

tiger's wife thus the new melee weapon is the elin special

muahahahaha

So, got it with the steam deal a few days back. I´m underwhelmed tbh. After playing through 3 of the campaigns I can say L4D1 was more fun somehow. But this is okay.

But how on earth did they manage to make the AI dumber than in the first game? They never pick up medkits, they get stuck in loops every ten minutes and they are horrible horrible with chainsaws.
Plus, they now shoot through you without you taking damage instead of holding fire like in the first game? WTF is up with that? Because the viewblob everytime I get shot by them (like all the time) is really annoying....

last night Lucien, DU and Yoda reminded me this can be pretty fun

note to yoda: scavenge is much more fun than that normally, so don't judge it by the terrible mess we made yesterday

I played the first one again yesterday and realised how much better it is compared to the second. At least in campaign mode.

Are you kidding?

Sure the characters are far more likeable than the cast from the 2nd... but the fact that the 2nd has over 3x the content (weapons, zombies, special zombies etc.) does help the campaign tbh...

Well, the guns don´t differ apart from looks. Sure is nice, but not necessary. I do like the new melee weapons though.
Atmosphere in the second is almost non-existent. The new special infected are nice and do a great job, in campaign this is mostly due to the improved AI though (which decreased enormously in computer controlled suvivors compared to the first) and the new uncommon common infected don´t really pull their weight tbh.
Plus, the level design is almost insulting. Stretching the length by making you run through the same area multiple times? Especially in hard rain, wtf is up with that.

It sure is fun somehow, but I´m really debating with myself whether this was worth even the special deal purchase of 10€. Seriously.

And I´m also mad at myself for getting so excited about the passing. Why does not one of the old crew say a word about Pedo-Bill being dead?
