BF2S Forums Left 4 Dead 2 Demo, First impressions

I got it so that I can use the special infected in the demo. Charger = RAEP MASHINEEN! Spitter was pretty fun too, and I never had a good opportunity to use the Jockey. Also the Smoker seems fucked somehow, like I am in range of a survivor, and I have a clear shot but but still can't grab him, and also sometimes when I do have a shot, say I am looking at Coach, I end up pulling Nick who's no where near where I am aiming at.

Also Hunter seems to be easier to pounce people, and Boomer I haven't noticed any differences.

I thought they "fixed" the smoker back in L4D?!

You didn't notice it constantly doing that in the first game?

Yes. They "fixed" him lots of times.

Funny, that it got worse again, after all the "fixes".

Is there like a bf2s group? Because I'd love to play with people who actually have mics. I've ran into just one person with a mic this evening... I thought this game was designed around co-op, not just 4 lone wolves.

downloaded today, i absolutely love the machete and im jizzing my pants at the thought of the katana

You can't really compare TF2 to L4D because the dynamics of the game are quite different.

That being said, I can completely understand why someone would not like this game if they jump straight into MP and played with people like I just did. These people were none too bright, as they all seemed to want to go off in their own direction (quite funny when we all ended up going 4 ways in the park). I was the only one with a mic and they didn't seem to want to type for communication either. General poor play resulted in multiple times down, with one guy I was convinced was being a griefer, since he would run straight for spitter goo and boomers whenever possible in addition to shooting gas cans and throwing molotovs at the feet of the rest of us. So yeah, if that was my first round experienced here, it would be very off-putting from the game.

L4D random multiplayer sucks, the teams are always horribly lopsided

It is, however, epic with friends

This. Been playing a few rounds yesterday.

Game needs some serious polish, apart from that I was incredibly underwhelmed.
Special Infected don´t behave clever, yes they attack at the same time now, but they got more problems navigating the map than before.
Guns look different, but there is no difference between the regular shotgun and the chrome one. Throwing Boomerbile at Tanks is really fun though.

All in all, I´m not getting it for full price. I might, if they get some discount for L4D1 owners going.

Also, what is up with the FOV? It´s like xbox-all-up-in-ma-face?! Wtf
