If someone would throw me an invite to the Steam group I'd be up for some games.

Played it, had some great experiences and some not so great. Its one of those games that loses its charm quickly once you l2p. If I thought that I'd get some sessions sans asshats or if I knew they were going to be releasing new campaigns I'd bite but I'm still on the fence.
Brilliant marketing move though, hook em with one free day but its not long enough for them to get sick of it. Then advertise the discount and profit.

It's quite enjoyable to play with friends but playing with random pubbers gets old quite fast. |

A healthy friends list is a must for this game.

I think this game has legs. I've played it a ton, and haven't gotten bored yet. Gameplay is just unique enough to keep everything exciting. Everybody is right that playing with friends makes it much better, but I've still had fun playing public VS. games. Even though I want to skull fuck most the other players out there.

WTF is with people not understanding that you are supposed to right click the hunter off me when they are close, not shotgun blast me 10 times in the chest?

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Caved and bought this, so yeah would like to play with people who understand teamwork. I hate playing campaign with people who know all the spawns and anyone who doesn't fuck em just leave their asses. But not as much as I hate versus, god versus is shit. You can have some fun sure but there's no way I will play versus in a week.

In VS at least, it makes more sense to shoot them, since you take no damage when you're pinned. If you knock a hunter off with melee, it gives them a chance to scratch you or pounce again if they're lucky. |

I've only played since Friday, but aren't the spawns random? I thought that was the idea with the director thing. I've only been doing campaigns in pubs because I don't really have any friends who play this type of game. But I've had fun so far. I don't know why people have such bad experiences because in most games I've done we've all stuck together and done pretty well. |

It does quite a good job of giving you reasons to work as a team. I just finished playing a game with friends and it's a wonderful game for a bit of atmospheric, co-operative zombie slaughter. It pretty quickly gets repetitive though, few maps, weapons or mobs and the director isn't all that. Tanks are so cheesy too.
Versus mode and the new survival mode I can't stand. The narrative of banding together to survive against the ruthless horde I can get into. Cheesing the game to see how long you can live against a timer or other players just makes the whole thing really artificial and uninteresting.

L4D 2 better be a HUGE improvement to justify paying for another game that soon after the first one.

Oh shut up. It's 60 bucks. You'll spend more than that on dinner and a movie with your wife/significant other. |

I refused to pay full price for L4D and sure as hell wouldn't pay it for L4D2 unless it has a lot, lot, LOT more content. |

Actually I have no idea how much I paid for it...I think I got it the day it launched? Maybe within a week? So, however much that was. I refused to pay full price for L4D and sure as hell wouldn't pay it for L4D2 unless it has a lot, lot, LOT more content.

I paid full price for L4D, TWICE, since I have it for both PC and the 360. Given how much I've played both, I've more than had my moneys worth. |

Congratulations, you've learned how to make unconstructive, trolling posts. Good for you! I don't think I saw anyone post the teaser trailer yet - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSfsMJgypdw |

I really haven't seen or heard anything explaining why this couldn't be an expansion (even a paid one).

Supposedly it is bigger than the original game. 5 campaigns, all of which are bigger, plus a melee weapon system, a whole set of new characters and baddies, and a greatly improved variety of weapons, along with the Director 2.0 which has a wide range of new tools at its disposal. In the podcast Chet says it just snowballed from a few ideas into a big set of new stuff that seemed easier to roll out at once. They decided in January to make it a whole new version.
The good news is they are going to continue updating the first version as well, since the community expects that.

They had me at "creates new pathways." I hated the linear feel of L4D and they knew that. They're psychic. |

Why does the style now look like L4D and TF2 had a child (L4D2, i mean)? Not really into that, the style of the first title was much better with its gritty style.

Isn't that a cinematic trailer? I imagine it says nothing about how the game will actually look. Anyway, I'm not remotely interested in this, L4D flopped big time for me, and I don't see this really making much of a better impression. |

Who needs L4D2 anyways now, sounds like Natural Selection 2 might be out by end of the year and for only $20.

I liked co-op mode, but you can only do it so long before its boring, and versus mode suffered from the fact that this game had just a terrible community for the most part. My gaming time is way better off spent elsewhere at this point.

I just hope they get rid of closets in the new one. Closet camping at the end of Death Toll kinda killed the game for me, although the idea of having your defense reduced to such a tiny space is kinda cool.
