Lords of Death Forums Lords of Death Forums LoD FPS/RTS/MMO/Console - Public Left 4 Dead 2 Demo?

Who pre-ordered L4D2 and got the Demo last night? Who's down to play this weekend?

I would have but not able to play for a bit. I'll be down in the next week or so. Pretty sure you're in my Steam friends, so I'll hit you up later.

Going to be playing this shit for a while tonight when it releases.. but I bought it for the xbox because thats where all the hardcore FPS players play!!

lol no but really we should get some 4v4 arranged going with nothing but friends.. usually more fun that way.. even though the new arranged match making should make things more competitive.

Anyway if you have my steam hit me up later I know atleast 4-5 people who will be on tonight.

I'm still unsure if I want to buy it yet. Think this will be as epic as the first one???

I'm not sure... few of us used the 4 pack deal so we got it for $33 instead of $45, which is closer to the "expansion" price I was willing to pay.

The changes SEEM to favor my playstyle.. which is speed running (as survivors) SO with that I think it'll make my game play more enjoyable by severily hurting teams that check every room and corner hump eachother at every horde.

Is it worth $45-50 I highly doubt it.

Well after playing 2 of the maps in versus' last night I'm happy with the game. I'd have to say the charger is the dumbest SI available at this point.. it can clearly be a unit that can give the infected a win but until people get better at playing it.. its really just another unit for noob players/teams to waste their time with. (sort of how the boomer was in the original had too much of a learning curve for the novice).

In the demo I thought the new auto shotgun (short barrel) was going to be OP but its range is extreamly limited compared to the original auto shotgun.

I still think the melee weapons will be OP at some point, I like the fact it forces people to drop their pistol but if teams start using 2 melee 2 pistols I think it will definetly limit the effectiveness of hordes.

Best new SI goes to the spitter.. the range is pretty awsome, easy to use and does a shit load of damage. You can bounce the spit off walls to get it around a corner or on a level above you (if there is a ceiling).

The new scoring system is A+ in my books.. gets rid of the health pack searchers and the new SI get rid of the corner humpers.. the game very much favors infected in my opinion.. if the AI director doesn't screw the good teams with bad SI spawns and un-even common hordes then I think L4D2 is the win.

i hear it's a lot better and way more optimized AI..there's a hunter zombie that pilots you towards more zombies now when he gets on your back..and tougher to shoot in the head, shit like that.

which probably means you can pilot people around if you're a hunter zomb in vs

SIDEKICK FAIL!!!
