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.

parish bridge + expert realism = a lot of frustration and broken keyboards

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.

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

Campaign > Scavenge > Versus

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

This one isn't bad though.

I do like the scavenge 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...

The hud is terrible all the new weapons are barely any different,except the m60 grenade launcher deagle, the dual pistols seem alot weaker to me. Only better thing is the smoker works better and they seem to have broken the hunter. Although Ive always hated vs so I could care less about scavenge. Also the original had alot better atmosphere.
Edit: Im a shotgun whore so I need pistols and almost never use the melee weapons which I dislike anyways.

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?
