Left 4 Dead 2

[zenith16]

I got the game to day it was store bought . I got these achievements. ACID REFLEX, A RIDE DENIED, SEPTIC TANK, PRICE CHOPPER, RAGIN' CAJUN.

 

[Spider-Vader]

I can't get this until Christmas.

 

[RKO]

Dark Carnival finale is pretty awesome.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

The game is awesome but the music flat out sucks now. =( Granted I've only done the first campaign.

I also miss the old witch cry.

I quite like the twangy menu theme.

Thats awesome man. You guys dont deserve to be forced to play that awful watered down version.

 

[Spider-Vader]

I think I just won a copy of this from Machinima.com.

 

[Paradyme]

What the hell is up with the zombies in this game B-Lining it to you only to dart left or right to your side and end up behind you?

 

[NickNitro]

I believe there new AI is to try and avoid your bullets so if they are B lining it to you and your shooting straight at them they shift left and right. Just use the Axe or Samurai sword that always gets the job done

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

So...how's the difficulty of the game?

I've read, and heard, from a review about the game being incredibly frustrating now. Like, unfair on every difficulty. Which is sad, if true, because I thought L4D was as accessible an FPS as any.

 

[Havok83]

I played the demo for this a few days for the first time. Didnt care for it. Game is too fast paced for me

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Were you into the first?

 

[Havok83]

Were you into the first?

Only played it once and dont even remember much from it. BTW it was on a PC, not that it matters

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

It might. I think the graphics are better on the PC.

I just hear that the game experience has changed. Tossing three tanks at me one after another...sounds a little out of the realm of fun for me.

But, it's what I've heard. I don't know for certain since I haven't played it.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

I've never seen three tanks at once.
From the previous one I would typically play on "advanced" and very rarely would a party die out.
On "normal" it's fairly common for a party to die.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I've heard that. I've heard there's more cheap shots, too. Where you might be down and get revived and then a Boomer pukes on you or something.

I do remember Valve saying that they were going to tweak the AI director for L4D2, which was odd to me...because I thought the AI director was perfect for the first.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Yes someone if a player runs off to a safe house a special will spawn inside it.
It's disappointing they didn't capitalize on procedural generated weather, hard Rain is a very cool level, the sudden change in weather makes it feel more organic than "a level".

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Specials spawn inside a safehouse?!

That's...wow. That's gotta be a glitch or something. Has to be.

 

[zenith16]

The only time there were three tanks in the old game is if you played certain campaign maps of custom variety on pc.

Some maps are nuttier then others . On the customs any way.

yes the difficulty has changed in l4d2 especially on realism mode you have to be with people your really in good team working relationship game wise. other wise you won't get past the the higher difficulty settings.

Oh the zombies hitting ya take alot of health in both expert and realisum mode.

It's not funny. make sure your not playing with guys that like to go rambo on you( run off far ahead of every one) or you'll never get past it.

oh BTW no it's not a glitch about the specials, they did that in the pc version of left 4 dead I. They were copying players that did this in versus mode. To spawn in the safe house. With each up date they did on the pc version that is steam most of the old specials in the first game got smarter based on what players did tactically on the PC version. you even notice it seem that the specials are coordinating now. and it'll seem like a planned out ambush.

Making it more challenging for players that still have the old game and actually got the custom maps for free on steam for the pc .

so them spawning in the safe house is old news.

 

[Megazell]

This game is great!

The amount of mods and maps out for it already is astounding!

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

So, how do you win if the specials wait for you in a safe house?

It sounds like L4D2 is more of a hardcore gamers' game now than the first. Is that a fair assessment?

 

[zenith16]

It is a fair assessment. the best way to beat it is for the people your playing to be good and buy good is to mean you don't leave each each others side not for Rambo reason's or any other reason you stay close to each or die. so stay as close to each other as possible. especially on expert and realism mode. push the special infected back if their close to the person that they grab. and shoot. if their far like the smoker make sure you kill him. the point of this game is to force you to play as a team that's the point. so no straying especially now. oh and the chain saw works well on the witch's and tanks.

the witch's only rome in daylight, their avoidable so avoid them. any one that has trigger happy issues that likes to shoot the witch will get you killed. so tell them to cut that habbit out. unless you have the chain saw on you and can get out of that situation fast.

no straying and no running off ahead of everyone if your want your group to live but you'll get ahead if just one of you gets to the safe house. it depends on how you want to do this buy you get a bonus if your team makes it to the safe houses with health packs.

and if your team is really good the AI director will make it more difficult for ya. ya they made the AI D really pricky this time around.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

They gave away a promotional steam guess passes floor Killing Floor today.
If anyone wants to play it over the weekend just ask, it's a game very much like Left4dead.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Finally bought this sucka. I'm gonna try it out soon, but I am still bereft of a mic for my PC, so I'm sure I'll get booted from many a server. Hopefully I can just find a good public server with crappy players who are more interested in doing their own thing and won't care I don't have a mic.

 

[Holiday]

My buddy let me borrow this Sunday and I figured I'd do a little online play here at the house but the servers are so slow I can't get into any games. So I think I'll just play through Dark Carnival and go to town on some zombies with the gnome instead.
