Lol, genius.

I never actually bought the first game, despite being majorly impressed by what I had played, but I'll definitely be buying this.

Valve has managed to provide a little damage control with the DLC.

He just wants to be loved man... just wants to be loved.

I can already foresee the hilarity when me and some buddies are playing and one of us gets erm... 'horsebacked'... by the Jockey.

Offcourse it's fun again and all, but I really don't see how they can call this L4D2?? It looks and plays exactly the same as the first game, just with a few different playermodels, weapons and zombies.. Valve better not ask to much for this otherwise I'm out until they offer it with a big discount in some 'special offer' weekend or something.. That's how I bought the fist game aswell, with 50% discount, because that also wasn't worth full price imho..

Support with content and updates has been a lot better from Valve in the past (on PC)..

I think you'll find that the majority of sequels offer new characters, weapons, enemies and levels. L4D2 is no different.

Demo next month:
The demo was announced at the EA's Tokyo Game Show event, which was held earlier today. Details were sparse, but we do know that it will be arriving in late October. Naturally, we'll likely know more closer to the release date, including whether it'll be available on the Xbox 360.

For now though, mark down October 27 on your calendars, Left 4 Dead fans. The game itself will be available for Xbox 360 and PC on November 18.

It's not up on Steam yet. Oh the irony!

I hope it goes up this afternoon and not this evening. I sorta wanna play it.

I still need to actually play L4D, so I'm not in a hurry to buy it.. anyone down for some campaign L4D1 at some point?

I bought it on PC a long time ago.. and all my clan friends were long done with co-op. Granted, I could have bugged some people to play with me, but I dunno.. there's something about getting into a game late that all your competitive friends are into deep that's somewhat intimidating I guess. I just kept rolling back to Call of Duty instead of ever getting around to actually playing it. Now that L4D2 is upon us, I sorta wanna finish it.. and wait for one of Valve's killer sales on Steam for L4D2.

The official Steam group says the public demo comes out at 11pm. I hope that's inaccurate. I mean, come on.. it's out on Xbox and they already let people pre-load it and obviously the pre-order demo is very playable :(

Yeah, been playing the demo for the past week (pre-order bonus from Gamestop), and as to be expected, it's pretty sweet.

In many ways I think I'm going to love L4D2 more than L4D.

The new characters are a hoot, weapons can now be upgraded (silencers, laser sights, etc.), new weapon types and new items like the defibrillator paddles are awesome, the Director AI 2.0 is a lot more aggressive and sadistic than the original, often throwing three or four boss infected against you at once . . . in the middle of being bum-rushed by the infected horde. Mentioning, infected hordes (like when you set off a car alarm) feature almost double the infected, and there is something altogether satisfying about dismembering them limb-from-limb with a machete.

Probably my favorite new thing in the whole game is getting my hand of Boomer bile (in a jar). This stuff is really good against Witches and especially Tanks. Hit'em with the jar of bile, and watch the entire infected horde turn against them doling out massive damage - not to mention, making it hard for the boss in question to move, making them and all the infected attacking them, easy targets once the bile begins to wear off . . . doubly so if someone in your group lobs a molotov into the pile of infected, as the Boomer bile begins to wear off.

New weapons like the new assault rifle and the silenced SMG, are also very satisfying to use. Forming new strategies for dealing with the new bosses (like having to spread out, and attach from different positions to fight chargers, as chargers can knock your whole group down if you are all too close together when they attach), adds refreshing twists on game play, as well as add slightly more depth to the risk reward equation in the game. Similar choice between picking up a medipak vs. picking up defib paddles.

Overall, judging by the demo, Left 4 Dead 2 is a much better game than the original. I know that among a very vocal minority, there is a lot of worry that L4D2 is not a true sequel and should be added as an expansion to L4D, but after playing the demo, I'd definitely have to disagree with them. There is so much more in L4D2, it definitely does not fall into the expansion pak category. Just like L4D, L4D2 is a day one purchase for yours truly.

I played the game with a couple of mates - they were actually in the room with me, not over XBL - and it's just so bloody awesome. The hordes are larger and meaner, the weapon and enemy variety is very much evident, the new special infected are seriously fantastic (the Charger and Jockey are fast becoming personal favourites of mine), the diversity in setting is refreshing, and I'm even starting to warm to the new characters a lot - the banter is actually better in many ways than in L4D.

I can sorta see why some people won't be too over the moon with what's offered here, but the truth is that it's what everyone loved about L4D with a lot more thrown in. True fans of the series should be grateful for that.

I get why some people are still upset about L4D2, but I sorta trust Valve more than most other developers. We'll see how it all turns out, but hopefully L4D1 and L4D2 both have a future.

I'll just wait for a killer sale on Steam anyway, just like I did for the first game. I won't have paid a combined $50 for the two when all is said and done.

Played a bit.. man.. Source still impresses me. The game is pretty. A smart mix of tech upgrades and bril art direction.
