Left 4 Dead 2 Demo

[thedemolitionis]

When I payed 60 bucks for L4D and beat the 4 missions in less than 2 hours. I was shocked. This new game has 5 missions and new melee weapons. More like an expansion if you ask me. I am not making the same mistake twice.

Single player (or coop) is more of a tutorial mode, to help you understand how the game works.

L4D2 has new weapons, new aids, new melee weapons, new boss infected, new common infected, new events, new levels, new survivors, new ammo, new AI Director. The director has me stoked, because it can dynamically change the level based on how well the first set of survivors are doing. Everything from what power-ups you'll find, what types of boss zombies spawn, how many common infected spawn during events, the weather, if there's a tank or a witch, which paths are available throughout the level. It usually builds to accomodate the first set of survivors if they're doing poorly, but the second team gets to run through the same exact level as the first team did.. Who gets what side first goes back and forth throughout levels, so it helps even out the pros and cons that come along with it. Unless you play the game for every minute for the rest of your life, it's nearly impossible to play the same situation more than once.

That's why you play it on expert. I guarantee you won't beat 4 missions in 2 hrs. Part two is even harder. More special infected means more ways of getting your ass beat down. Like the Charger, if he gets a hold of you, you are done. I got grabbed by him once a ran about 60yrs back first right into a tree. dead instantly.

I don't see whats so fun about killing zombies we have been doing it for over a decade now.

Go play Uncharted 2 now that's a game.

I was playing on standard difficulty...but playing the demo a few times did make the game seem a tad repetitive. Yes going through the same two little sections over again will do that, but once you've dealt with one or two of their zombie horde things, they are fairly similarish. They do seem to vary the situation that you deal with them in enough though. Seems like a fun game, I'll be getting it. The fact that I never played the first one probably helped.

it was a demo of the weakest mode available in the game.

after going through the commentary levels it's clear that l4d was originally meant to be a guns vs dummies shoot 'em up game, but it turned out to be a breakthrough fps/rts hybrid. I don't see why they didn't just release one long finale level, with the ability to play versus, and then can the demo a few weeks after the release. Kind of a disappointment, and sad for all the people who won't buy it based on the demo.

I personally don't care what other people think,as most people are never satisfied no matter what.I think the game looks badass,but I hope there are more missions durring the night,because the daylight takes away the excitement a little.It's only two parts to one of the missions on the demo so I'm sure it gets dark and creepy.Overall,as soon as they fix this lag(l4d 1 and 2 are running on the same servers until the 10th)and the actual game is released,I'm sure it will be a hit.Of coarse I'm a huge fan of the game so......
