Left 4 Dead 2

[Hebes24]

The gate alarm part on the second stage is very fun, running and gunning.. its basically free-for-all until you reach the switch.

Yeah, that part is so much fun. Especially if you have that huge knife/sword thing (machete, maybe? I dunno).

New SI are pretty interesting. The weirdest by far is the jockey. It jumps on your head and rides you around until someone shoots/knocks it off.

[guru]

people are already making console edits and mods lol.
I may get it on steam tonight..although im knee deep in , 2 mmos + borderlands + 5 new great games are coming out....gotta have my zombie l4d co=op

[Hebes24]

Man, this game is going to be fun!

Tons of new weapons

Hidden/Spoiler:

(I'm talking at least 4 different shotguns, three different pistols, 3 different assault rifles, and two different SMG's, all with their own distinct feel and amount of damage)

, a bunch of new Special infected

Hidden/Spoiler:

(the Jockey, the Spitter, the Charger)

, interesting variations on common infected

Hidden/Spoiler:

(like the riot Zombie, that you have to shoot in the back)

, Melee weapons

Hidden/Spoiler:

(Machete = EPIC WIN)

, and new variations on L4D1's hold-out events

Hidden/Spoiler:

(like the last level of the demo, where you set off an alarm by opening a door, then you have to run to the middle of a chain-link fence maze to shut the alarm off, while being rushed by zombies from every angle)

I was worried that L4D2 would feel like "more of the same," but they've found ways to keep it fresh. I don't know what they did, but the whole game has a different feel about it than L4D1. The demo has made me very optimistic about the game. Valve seems to have done a great job.

And I agree with DeathRow, L4D2 is a lot gorier than L4D1.

[DeathRow]

Wait so you get the uncensored demo, but get a censored game?

Nah, my pre-order was gifted from the US.. so basically my demo AND full game are uncensored. I was playing with some Aussies who had the censored version before on a server and they said it was terrible, I am very lucky.

@Hebes: Haha yeah, just tried the machete only run through alarm part, epic win. It was also very fun with a guitar.

[Moving_Target]

Hahaha amazing work around Death. I didn't know that could work. That's awesome.

I prefer the bat and the frying pan. That satisfying pang! noise and a nice crack of the bat. Also the fact I play Scout in TF2.

[Adreniline]

Wow, been a little while since I've been on here.

@DeathRow - haha awesome!

Yeah, Finished downloading the demo today (haven't tried it yet) - but L4D was awesome, so I have very high expectations for L4D2.

Think this is the first time ever that we've gotten Karnage to Pre-Order a game (4 Pack) - haha. Must say the baseball bat was quite the selling point

[Moving_Target]

Well, now you can also get a hat for TF2. Which in my opinion is a low blow from Valve, but whatever. Ha. Stupid hats.

[Caleb1117]

Color me impressed.

First, I love some of the new design. Such as the new looks for old SI, smoker especially looks cool. Not as wild about the female boomer though. But it's new.

The new infected are sweet.
I never saw much of the Spitter, besides her acid. Which is as it should be, she has very little health so she should be more of a harasser, rather than direct attack.
Jockie was nice, he has a good bit of health and moves fast, so you have to be on your toes to kill him before he grabs someone.
The Charger, was not what I expected. He can charge in like, an instant. This means he can pop out from a corner, and practically instant rush. Very intimidating, and dangerous. If you catch him though, it isn't too hard to sidestep in time.

One of the things I was MOST impressed with, and happy about, was the new Tank AI. The first time I fought it, the whole team was incaped in short order. (Advanced) The Tank, now does not focus on a single already incaped survivor, allowing the others to pump him with lead. He incaps one, and moves to another, much like a human player. He also seems to have more health than before. This makes the tank much more dangerous, and frightening.

The new guns are nice. My favorites are, hands down, the AK-47 and this thing:

Whatever that gun is, I love it! It's titillating.

Boomer bile item, and the adrenaline shot were handy. I wonder, can you hit zombies with the bile and slow them down? Like the Tank?

I wish there was alittle more content in the demo though.
I never saw the which on my first play through.

@Caleb - That gun is the SCAR MK 17: http://www.airsoft-arsenal.com/store/im ... -01T-2.jpg

Ah yes, and according to Wikipedia, the model that's ingame has an EPIC MK 1337 attachment.
Rawr!

[Adreniline]

Don't know if the bile slows down the zombies, but it sure attracts the horde as expected (I threw it on a Zombie and watched them get rushed by all of their previous friends).

Though... wonder if this may help against a Tank or a Witch?

Oh, and what exactly does the Defib do (didn't get a chance to use it yet)? Like, do you use it on your incapacitated friends or use it on them after they're dead??

[VF501]

Bio Bombing a tank, charger or any special infected is hilarious. For fun Bio Bomb a hunter, its funny watching them change direction and run away mid jump.

Defib is a one use revive on a dead player, you must be near the body to use it and it takes a little longer then a health pack to use.

Against a Tank, it's pretty effective. Against a witch, unless you can outrun her you're going to alert her and once she's dead, you have to deal with all the zombies she attracted as she ran to you.

[Dohnutt]

Played through it today; lots of fun

That's actually pretty interesting... for some reason I was thinking it'd be the other way around (mind you, I've only played through the Demo once, and never did encounter a Tank).

Is it just me, or do Boomers seem to be much better at sneaking up on you in L4D2? Several times I never heard them until they were right up in my face and vomiting on me.

I think so. Sometimes I didn't even see them until after they got me!

I managed to throw a vile at a charger and a tank at the same time (the charger died before the video actually started recording... >_<

Haha, yeah, I was telling Adreniline that I was on the top platform (where the alarm is) and somehow a boomer snuck up on me

[Moving_Target]

I'm ready for Tuesday! Did the 4 pack with some friends.

[guru]

We found a hacky ded. server map and started running a modded l4d2 server its kinda fun playing versus already and were using the upgrades_survivor mod that randomly grants each user 3 bonuses and LASER SIGHTING! a whole new world seeing a zombie a half mile away and marking his face for shermination
